Think you recognized Carly Rose Sonenclar last night on the X Factor? She's the thirteen year old who wowed Britney, Demi, LA and Simon with her rendition of 'Feeling Good.' She may be young, but she's no rookie. Her Broadway and film experience, along with her incredible talent, paid off big time on the X Factor.

Britney Spears and Simon Cowell have been making the media rounds to promote the new season of 'X Factor,' and last night the pair stopped by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' for an entertaining chat.

In an interesting turn of events, Alanis Morissette has come out saying that reality shows like ‘American Idol‘ and ‘X Factor‘ don’t do enough to nurture singer-songwriters. We don’t think it’s a coincidence that the news comes on the heels of Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban finalizing their own ‘Idol’ judging talks — a role Morissette previously confirmed she was up for herself. Do you think it’s an

Hot! Like blazing hot.

Melanie Amaro wisely chose to take her time putting together a debut album instead of rushing out new music immediately after winning Season 1 of ‘X Factor‘ — and its $5 million Epic Records contract — last December.

Diva Christina Aguilera sat down with ‘Extra’ to reveal that Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong is the new mentor for her team on Season 3 of ‘The Voice.’ She also addressed how she feels about the fact that fellow belter Mariah Carey and pop star peer Britney Spears have joined competing shows.

While her fellow judge Simon Cowell describes Demi Lovato as a “catty brat,” the ‘X Factor‘ panelist admits that some of the title is earned — but not necessarily in a bad way.

The new ‘X Factor‘ judging panel has plenty of star power behind it — and so does one particular hopeful. KISS frontman Gene Simmons accompanied his daughter, Sophie, to the San Francisco auditions.

When will people stop knocking our girl Britney? Do people not know we bow down to our shrine of Queen Britney every night before we go to bed? Let. It. Go. The newest rumor about our Queen B is that she’s suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (something she was supposedly diagnosed with since she was a teen), and that’s the reason why she’s constantly walking off the set of  the

It’s official! Demi Lovato is now an ‘X Factor‘ judge.

Simon Cowell really can’t get it together when it comes to the ‘X Factor‘ panel. One day he’s offering Britney Spears $10 million to join. The next, he’s all up in Rihanna‘s grill about taking the gig. Then, he’s saying he doesn’t need A-listers to comprise the panel. All these rumors about who he will get to fill the two vacant seats are running rampant. Today’s top ‘X Factor’ panel story suggest
