Thanks for changing how the final 16 were determined. It added suspense when the judges had to eliminate someone in the four seats. It forced them to really evaluate the artists. Tough decisions were made but the right ones this last season. Doing it at the mentor;s home made the show more personable though. I will miss X factor alot since more elaborate backgrounds were used It was like going to a real concert. Thanks for discovering fantastic artists and letting their dreams come true. donnanursing
