The manufactured pop tart: 'The X Factor'

Judges: Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, Cheryl Cole, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger

"X Factor" was supposed to blow "Idol" out of the water and dominate the ratings. It didn't. That's because if "Idol" is Whitney, "X Factor" is Britney -- a decent voice puffed up by a team of producers, songwriters and promoters. It's heavy on the hype, not so great on the delivery. There's no there there... yet. Will Season 2 give us a breakout moment that doesn't involve a 13-year-old girl falling apart?
