If you want a show to stay fresh and strong in the rating they have to make changes and that is what Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe is trying to do with American Idol Season 12 and bring back some of those American Idol fans that have not been tuning in the past few seasons. One of those changes could be taking a page from The X Factor USA 2012, as it looks like American Idol 2013 is going t reveal the voting results each week during the live shows. Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian did it every week for The X Factor USA Season 2 and now it looks like Ryan Seacrest will be doing it for American Idol Season 12.

Well it seems that The X Factor USA might be in need of two new judges for Season 3, as reports are going out that Britney Spears quits X Factor Season 3. Reports were already saying that Britney Spears fired as The X Factor 2012, but now her camp is claiming she is too busy to come back. It has been a busy off-season for The X Factor USA Season 3, as L.A. Reid quit and now Britney? That is two judges spots to fill for Simon Cowell or maybe even three because no word on Demi Lovato has come out yet.

I saw this one coming before the season even ended, but Simon Cowell has signed Emblem 3 of The X Factor USA 2012 to a recording contract. Wesley Stromberg, Keaton Stromberg and Drew Chadwick make up Emblem 3 and made it to the Top 4 on The X Factor USA Season 2 before they were shockingly eliminated in the semi-finals. Simon Cowell loves boy bands and it was inevitable that his record label would sign the group, which is now official. We can expect the album later this year from Emblem 3. When will Simon sign Fifth Harmony from The X Factor USA 2012?

They may not have won the $5 million recording contract on The X Factor USA 2012, but it looks like Simon Cowell to sign Fifth Harmony may become a reality. The girl group made a surprise run to The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale, which goes to show they have a big fan base out there, but are they worthy enough of being signed by Simon Cowell’s label? Simon Cowell has hinted at a possible signing of the girls from The X Factor 2012!

It seems we have some unhappy people at The X Factor USA 2012 and rumors are saying that Britney Spears fired as X Factor judge after just one season! We all know the show has struggled in it’s two seasons to keep up with The Voice in the ratings and has juggled judges, but are they really getting rid of Britney Spears on The X Factor Season 3? FOX did announce that The X Factor would return for Season 3, but who the judges will be is unknown and now sources are saying Britney Spears fired as The X Factor USA judge!

If you want to entertain a crowd then the person to get is Pitbull and that is what The X Factor USA 2012 did when they booked him for the finale show! Pitbull performed on The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale tonight and of course, he rocked it out. The X Factor 2012 had two hours to fill, so they brought out Pitbull and One Direction to help pass the time a little for the girls screaming in the audience. Check out Pitbull perform on The X Factor Season 2 below.

We all know The X Factor USA 2012 had two hours of air time to fill tonight, so to help fill that time they welcomed back One Direction to perform on The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale! One Direction got their start on the U.K. version of The X Factor, but have made it big in the United States and were here earlier this season to perform on The X Factor Season 2, but they made their way back for the finale. Check out One Direction perform on The X Factor USA 2012 Finale below!

Three acts remain on The X Factor USA 2012 and we have to sit through two hours of performances tonight before we find out who won The X Factor USA Season 2! It is down to Fifth Harmony, Tate Stevens and Carly Rose Sonenclar and one of them will win a $5 million recording contract thanks to America’s votes and Simon Cowell! I think it is going to be a close battle, someone has to win The X Factor 2012, so let’s get this started. Come watch with me during my The X Factor USA 2012 Finale Live Recap and we can find out together who won The X Factor Season 2.

We are down to the Top 3 on The X Factor USA 2012 and they all sang their hearts out last night, but who wins The X Factor USA Season 2? That is a tough question to ask and I am literally not sure if it will be Tate Stevens, Carly Rose Sonenclar or Fifth Harmony that wins. The three acts all sang three songs last night on The X Factor 2012 Finale and we will get the results tonight on how America voted. Check out my The X Factor USA 2012 predictions and then come back tonight for my The X Factor USA Season 2 Finale Live Recap and find out with me who wins The X Factor Season 2!

Taking a page from The Voice Season 3, Simon Cowell started the night on The X Factor USA 2012 with a special tribute to all the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. He looked like he was struggling a little with his little speech and maybe even getting a little teary eyed? The Top 12 took the stage afterwards and sang “You Are Not Alone” by Michael Jackson. You can check out The X Factor USA Season 2 tribute to Sandy Hook below.
