I can hardly believe it, but summer is over and fall shows are starting and it kicked off officially last night, as The X Factor USA 2013 started their two-night premiere on FOX. We have Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato back for another season and Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio joining them on the judges’ panel for The X Factor USA Season 3! The panel seems to be working and I enjoyed the banter between them all last night. Let’s see if it continues tonight during our The X Factor USA 2013 Recap and watch the auditions on The X Factor Season 3 continue!

I often get annoyed with the audition rounds on any of the shows like The Voice, American Idol or The X Factor because they always find the sob stories and I cry like a big girl and that happened with Lillie McCloud on The X Factor USA 2013. The auditions kicked off last night during The X Factor USA Season 3 premiere and the judges were stunned (as was I) when Lillie McCloud took the stage. Watch her story and audition in our The X Factor USA 2013 spoilers video below!

They may not have won The X Factor USA 2012, but Fifth Harmony is still going strong after signing a record deal and now they look to be working on some cover songs, including “Stay” by Rihanna and you can see Fifth Harmony covers Rihanna below. The girls never impressed me too much on The X Factor USA Season 2, but they must have been putting some work in because this is a pretty good song for them.
