X-Factor 2012

[Tusk]

My dark horse is Beatrice Miller, she has a maturity beyond her years when she performs. When she isn't performing, she transforms back into a 13 yr old. I usually wouldn't think of backing someone so young, but there is 'something' about her performances that is refreshingly organic and with an unmanufactured depth.

Carly is also extremely talented, but like someone had posted on mjs, she does remind me of Jessica Sanchez, in that she hasn't grown into her talent, yet IMO.

Beatrice's 'something' puts her ahead of Carly for me.



The only other act I can get behind is Lyric 145....I'm not much into rap but there is something about Lyric that says she will be a Star in her own right. (I do think that teaming her up with the two guys does round out her act, for now. They perform well together even if just thrown together.)



The rest, I don't really care about, mostly because I think alot of XF is predetermined and presctpted.

BTW, I'm not sure if I 'like' Janell that much, but I can't be sure. Mainly because of her stated opinion that she thought Haley was stuck up and obnoxious... I can put that off to youth and naivity, but, she will soon enough know how it feels to have unjustifiable things said about her. She too will have her misguided haters.

So it's hard to have a non biased opinion of her, because most of the edits I've seen on the show, make me think that she overplays her doe-eyed innocent turned into sex kitten act... So far she is 'best' with the 'sex kitten' act when she performs, she doesn't appear to have any other style of performance. I tend to think she's The Chosen One, ala Lauren Alaina, except the 'rock version'.

I hope Emblem 3 falls hard, but it looks like they will make it to the finals given the voting demographic and Simon's need to make an American version of 1 Direction.
