  11. 'The X-Factor' recap: A running diary of the first episode

    <strong>THE SKINNY:</strong> Welcome to the world of &quot;The X-Factor." From the start of Wednesday night's premiere, the "X" would take the foundations of "American Idol" &mdash; high drama, big lights and heartfelt stories &mdash; and build for the sky.

I'm feeling great after the first episode, so read my running diary to see how I got here:
