X Factor USA – Judges Houses Time!!

We’re used to seeing exotic locations in X Factor Judges houses … so we had high hopes for the X Factor USA Judges Houses

We have to say we were a little disappointed. We know America’s a BIIIG place but surely they could have come up with reasons to take the X Factor competitors a little bit further afield. Oh well, at least Simon Cowell kept his air miles up. Simon’s mentoring the X Factor USA girls and whisked them away to Paris!! He was supposed to be joined by Mariah Carey, but Hurricane Irene spoiled the party. At least they’ve got Paris to keep them occupied!!

Paula Abdul is mentoring the groups and has taken them to Santa Barabara with a guest mentor Pharrell Williams. Over 30s are in Malibu with Nicole Scherzinger and Enrique Iglesias and the Boys are in The Hamptons with LA Reid and Rihanna. We think the boys win the guest judge competition!!

We don’t know who’s made it through judges houses yet, but we have to give Phillip Lomax some credit for performing his version of a Rihanna song … in front of Rihanna!! As if there wasn’t enough pressure on them already .. but at least she seemed to like it!!

We’ve got to wait a few days to find out who made it to the X Factor USA live shows and then X Factor USA betting will really start!! We can’t wait to see what X Factor twist X Factor USA has in store for us?!
