X Factor, The Day After: Judges’ Houses Dish with Guest James Kenney

By | Reality Rocks – Fri, Oct 12, 2012 6:59 PM EDT

This week on "The X Factor," Season 2's top 24 were announced, and then those two-dozen hopefuls headed to the fake Judges' Houses. My usual "The Day After" co-host, Matt Whitfield, isn't here to share his thoughts on what went down this week...but one of my favorite Season 1 "X Factor" semifinalists, James Kenney, is here to offer the unique perspective of someone who once actually performed poolside at one of the show's famous rented McMansions. (Watch James's "Russian Roulette" performance from last season's Judges' Houses round HERE.)

James is a frequent "Day After" commentator, and his insight and candor always make for fun and refreshing conversation. Check out his thoughts on "The X Factor" Season 1 vs. Season 2 in the video below!
