Whats your take on the X-Factor Finals? Thread

Enjoyed the show, looking forward to next season.....but....
They need a new host. Steve Jones seems like a nice guy, but he conveys no personality on the show. I don't care about his accent, I just care that he adds nothing of substance to the show.

London's Mirror reports that Steve Jones will not return for season 2 and may be replaced by Nicole Scherzinger. Nicole, interestingly, was cast as the original host of the show, but the casting change that saw Cheryl Cole leave after two rounds of auditions made Nicole a judge and Steve Jones her replacement.
I personally doubt they would want to bring over Ryan Seacrest or Randy Jackson because then the show becomes American Idol 2, although I like Randy much more than L.A. Reid. I think L.A. will stay on the show, though, simply because they need that anti-Simon character to keep it interesting.
I'm not sure that I'll stay with the show for a second season. I enjoyed it but it was an exhausting series to watch and keep up with. It seemed that they did much more on The X Factor to build the "human interest" side of each contestant compared to what they do on American Idol. It got to a point where the talent level was so deep and the emotional buildup ran so high that it was hard to watch anyone get eliminated.
Melanie Amaro was clearly the front-runner through the entire final 12 but I wonder how her music career will go long-term. How many big-voiced women have hit the pop music scene in the past ten years? Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jordin Sparks, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga...the list goes on. There isn't a huge need for someone like Melanie Amaro in pop music right now. However, I would agree with Paula Abdul's statement that there is a gap for someone like Josh Krajcik. He's been described as a "male Adele" and there really aren't many acts like him at the moment. The same applies to Chris Rene. I look for either of those guys to do well if someone can invest in them and let them do the music they want to do (and not the canned tuna they come up with for Idol winners).
First season gets a B+ from me.
Josh Krajcik could be the X-Factor answer to Taylor Hicks he just have to sign a contract to Broadway and he will do well there. Hicks record sales tanked but he did well on Broadway. Rene I hope he does not go back to his pre-X Factor life. However I don't know how American Idol will fare on January 18th. But I know the audience will demand Idol to be more like X-Factor. and 2 the Audience will say I thought its done. At some point American Idol will have to be killed off and Idol will have to explain how its different from X-Factor. Although J.Lo's divorce from Marc Anthony will come under scrutiny during this run of Idol.
