'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.
