After 14-year-old contestant Ashley Deckard left the stage, things on Thursday night's episode of 'X Factor' got a little creepy. Her performance of Jessie J's 'Price Tag' was mediocre at best, and the four judges quickly dismissed her. Over the next several auditions, the cast and crew began hearing unexplainable howls and growls.
Auditions in Miami were already off to a challenging start when 16-year-old Caitlynne Curtis strutted onto the stage during Thursday night's episode of 'X Factor.' The four judges were hopeful that the wide-eyed and spunky teenager would give them the night's first finalist. In the end, even the curmudgeonly Simon Cowell couldn't help but give her words of encouragement.
'X Factor' kicked off its first season last night and now judge Paula Abdul is opening up about the transition to the new singing competition series, and what it's like to be reunited with Simon Cowell.
Former 'American Idol' judges Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell will be reuniting, as the 'Straight Up' singer has officially signed on to act as a judge on the US version of Cowell's singing competition, 'X Factor.' In addition to Abdul, Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger and British TV personality Steve Jones will acting as the hosts of the show.
'American Idol' alums Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul could be reunited on Cowell's new reality competition program 'X Factor,' which debuts this fall on FOX.
