One of the best parts of last night’s show was seeing how much Simon Cowell truly adores his girls and how supportive he is of them, rooting up there on stage like a proud father. The genuine hugs he gave them as each one was told they had made the Top 11 almost brought a tear to our eyes. How he walked off stage with Melanie hand in hand was sweet.

Some say Astro is cocky, some say he is super confident, but one thing there is denying – the kid has some crazy skills, especially when it comes to rhyming and rapping. Astro took a minute to tell us what he does to master those M.C. poetics of his.

We caught up with Josh Krajcik to find out what a usual day behind the scenes of The X Factor is like – and found out that he doesn’t like to practice (What?!). it’s all for a good reason though…. He also talks about the challenge of performing WITHOUT his guitar.

Have you ever wondered just how much more significant The X Factor experience has been for the older contestants? We did. So we asked the oldest contesant, LeRoy Bell his thoughts on the subject. We also learned that while he’s been doing this music thing for a long time, having no guitar along for the ride is a totally different experience. LeRoy and the rest of the contestants take to The X Factor stage

If you ask Marcus Canty what his first most significant memory of music is, he’ll tell you being on stage at The Apollo when he was 11. We asked him how his experience on The X Factor compares to that first memory. Watch Marcus take to the stage along with the other 10 contestants tonight (Wednesday 11/9) on The X Factor at 8/7 central on FOX, and then vote!

This week’s X Factor performances were filled with some great songs (Josh, Rachel and LeRoy), great style (Lakoda Rayne and Stereo Hogzz), serious poetics (we’re talking you Astro and Chris), health issues (Melanie & Marcus), and doubting judges (Stacy’s song selection and Drew’s dress design).

Last night it was announced that The Stereo Hoggz were eliminated from The X Factor competition and headed home. Thier mentor Paula Abdul was absolutely crushed. The first words out of her mouth when both of her groups, including Lakoda Rayne, were up for elimination were, “I’m not going to do this. I can’t do this and I’m too close to both acts and I love them both very much and they’ve worked very hard, I’m sorry.” It’s obvious it’s not only getting tougher for the contestants themselves but for the judges too. With each week that goes by, they are building a stronger rapport and bond with their groups and can’t help to get emotional when the time comes to say goodbye. Last night was quite dramatic and it will only keep getting more so. As we get closer to choosing a winner, you can only imagine what might be going through the heads of these contestants. Actually, you don’t have to imagine, because we asked Nicole Scherzinger’s group of over 30s to tell us what their final thoughts are before they go go to sleep each night.

Last night was a tricky one for The X Factor contestants, as the judges seemed to feel that the Rock genre was not especially well-suited for many of them. And those who make it through tonight’s elimination will be especially thankful that they’ve survived.
