‘The X Factor’ Picks a Winner!

December 21, 2012 The X Factor

America has spoken, and the new “The X Factor” champion is… Tate Stevens! The country crooner from L.A. Reid’s team now has a $5 million recording contract thanks to all his fans.

Tate, 37, told the crowd, "First and foremost I have to thank the man upstairs for taking care of me. To my family all the county music fans, God bless you. Thank you so much for the votes. This is the best day of my life!"

Reid couldn’t be happier for the rising star, "Congratulations to you. You deserve this," Reid told Stevens. "I'm proud to work with you. I think you represent 'X Factor' really well, on behalf of myself and 'X Factor' judges, congratulations!"

The finale featured performances by the top three finishers, including 13-year-old Carly Rose Sonenclar and girl group Fifth Harmony. One Direction had the girls swooning with “Kiss You” and Pitbull had the crowd on its feet for “Don’t Stop the Party.”

While the world knows L.A. is exiting the hit show, fellow coach Demi Lovato hinted after the finale that she could be next. The singer posted a series of "I'll miss you" tweets to Reid, Simon Cowell and Britney Spears. One head-scratching post said, “I’m going to miss sitting next to the STUNNING, gorgeous and down-to-earth sweetheart @britneyspears.. Britney.. I’m gonna miss you.”

I knew the winner would be Tate Stevens of this years The X Factor. I know there are lots who claim Carly should’ve been the winner but I don’t think she’s old enough yet and he deserved the win. This happens to be one of my favorite shows and you never know what to expect next. I only enjoy watching primetime so it’s important for me to get all my shows recorded. I work in the evening and it’s always been hard for me to get all my recordings having issues with timers and conflicts until my coworker at DISH told me about the DISH Hopper DVR. I can enable the PrimeTime Anytime feature and it will record all four major networks for me, and it only uses one TV to do it. I used to have multiple receivers and tie up all the TV’s recording all my shows. I can tell you my families a lot happier now that everyone gets to watch TV. I found this to be one of my favorite features and I don’t know anyone who couldn’t agree more.
