Steve Jones X Factor, Remember when Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger were to originally share The X Factor hosting duties? Well, the duo hosts option is back on the table as part of a rejiggered second season according to one of the show’s top executives.
“Simon’s vision was always to have a man and woman host this and to make it feel a little bit like an award ceremony,” FremantleMedia North America CEO Cecile Frot-Coutaz, whose company is a producer on both American Idol and The X Factor, tells TV Guide Magazine. “A glamorous girl and a good-looking guy doing a kind of double act.”

Jones may have appreciated sharing the burden with someone else. Alas, that wasn’t his lot in life. After suffering much criticism among fans for his curt style, Jones broke the news of his departure from the show himself via Twitter in late-January. Well, you know what hit the fan then. Over the next few hours, both Scherzinger and Paula Abdul would find themselves sharing the termination headlines with the British talent.

As to the reasoning behind the changes, Frot-Coutaz says that X Factor didn’t differentiate itself enough from American Idol, which they chose to leave alone this year after last year’s additions of judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler — another decision they seem to be second guessing in light of its ratings decline.

Steve Jones X Factor, The theme for the night of the top 10 performances on ‘The X Factor’ was rock. Judging by the class of the dancers who ushered Steve Jones onto the stage, the theme was going to be loosely followed at best. Let’s just say they were probably dancers who got their start as groupies for Whitesnake and ended up as P**ycat Dolls rejects.

So, Steve comes out on the stage and informs us it’s rock night. Then the judges are introduced and walk out to Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer.”

Now there’s a good rock song! Nicole Scherzinger is introduced and looks like she took the rock week theme a little too literally. She’s missing a sleeve and looks like a raccoon did her makeup. DARK EYESHADOW ALERT!!! Then Steve made a big deal about Paula Abdul only having one group left. Which he continued to do throughout the show.

 Paula is probably already in a relatively fragile state, Steve. So sure. Let’s provoke her and bring out nutso Paula. Seems like a good idea to me. After all that, it was finally time to get to the contestants.
