Jetta Is Still At X-Factor In LA

Jetta's apparently moved up to the next level of auditions, so her return has been delayed:

"L.A. is known for producing amazing talent," said executive producer Andrew Linares, against the soundtrack of hopefuls crooning and/or screaming for show cameras capturing footage to be included when "The X Factor" premieres in the fall. "People usually head to L.A. to try and make it. So we're very hopeful that in the midst of all these people are some potential contenders."

...The big prize on these shores will be a $5 million Sony Music record deal. But that's not the only thing setting the series apart from other talent competition shows. Both solo artists and vocal groups are welcome to audition. And unlike "American Idol," which just recently lowered the bottom end of its age range from 16 to 15 (and up to 28), "The X Factor" is more inclusive. The show is open to those as young as 12 and has no upper age limit — a factor that delighted 59-year-old Pat Garnes.
