'The X-Factor' recap: A running diary of the first episode
![<strong>THE SKINNY:</strong> Welcome to the world of "The X-Factor." From the start of Wednesday night's premiere, the "X" would take the foundations of "American Idol" — high drama, big lights and heartfelt stories — and build for the sky. This was an emotionally draining show, with stories of poor families, down-on-their-luck talents and even a meth-addict fresh out of rehab. If you feet that "Idol" has gotten stale in recent seasons (and it has, with its predictable guy-with-a-guitar winners), then "X-Factor" felt like a welcome reminder of just how great it feels to root for someone — someone perhaps trapped in a mundane life, just in need of the right break. It's the cliche American dream story, and you'd have to be pretty cold to roll your eyes at the way "The X-Factor" presents it. I'm feeling great after the first episode, so read my running diary to see how I got here:](http://www.baltimoresun.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-09/306130480-21131624.jpg "<strong>THE SKINNY:</strong> Welcome to the world of "The X-Factor.\" From the start of Wednesday night's premiere, the \"X\" would take the foundations of \"American Idol\" — high drama, big lights and heartfelt stories — and build for the sky.
