Austin Corini sang Hunter Hayes' smash hit 'Wanted' on tonight's (Sept. 26) audition episode of 'X Factor.' Corini has quite a bit in common with Hayes, in that they are both adorable, blond and possess star quality.
Tate Stevens made quite the impression on Wednesday's (Sept. 19) episode of 'X Factor.' The singer, 37, performed Randy Houser's 'Anything Goes' at the Kansas City auditions and was quickly anointed the next country star by the panel of judges.
Blake Shelton responds to criticism from "X Factor" head honcho Simon Cowell about "The Voice".
A growing number of country stars have benefited from appearances on reality television shows. Scotty McCreery and Carrie Underwood are the most obvious, but Blake Shelton, John Rich, Miranda Lambert and Casey James are a few others who’ve been on ‘American Idol,’ ‘The Voice’ or ‘Nashville Star.’ Others like Steel Magnolia came from ‘Can You Duet,’ and more — like Billy Ray Cyrus — have judged their fair share of contestants.
There’s raging speculation over which artists will fill the two vacant mentor positions on the ‘X Factor‘ panel. Heavyweight pop divas like Mariah Carey and Beyonce have seen their names tossed into the ring. Another emerging contender for one of the coveted slots?

While Crow placed fifth in her competition, she, like Alaina, was an early favorite, loved by fans and judges alike. But she didn’t ultimately notch the win.
I have always thought that the people who can really bring it, really deliver the goods, never have to dress to impress. For some people the facade of fashion is all they have, the people who have the talent are confident in their gift and their only concern is being able to share it. Such is the case in this incredible X-Factor audition.
