Welcome to the first season of VIX! Where we choose the winner of The Voice, American Idol and The X Factor for 2011.

I have chosen the Top 4 from each reality show from last year to compete. Every day we watch some performances, vote, eliminate and repeat the next day until we have a winner. Rules will rotate among the three shows so some days we may have a judges’ save (that would be me), some days I’ll choose who goes home, etc.

I know some of you are fiercely loyal to your show (I’m looking at you Idol fanboy), but hopefully we can have an open mind and vote for these fine contestants on singing merit. However, these things start off with good intentions and just fall apart, so I expect things to get crazy. Will we have shockers? Will we get the Dia Frampton vs Haley Reinhart finale we’ve been dreaming of? Hopefully we’ll all just have fun in the process.

vix VIX The Voice of American Idol X Factor Season 1 Day 1

For Day 1, we are using American Idol rules with one judges’ save.

So here they are… your Top 12 America!

From The Voice: Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez, Beverly McClellan, Javier Colon

From The X Factor: Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik, Chris Rene, Marcus Canty

From American Idol: Haley Reinhart, Lauren Alaina, Scotty McCreery, James Durbin

But wait!!! Since we are using Idol rules, we have a Wild Card!

Our wild card picks must sing for their lives to get the chance to compete in VIX, they are:

Pia Toscano, Stefano Langone, Xenia, Casey Weston, Drew Ryniewicz and Rachel Crow! (We originally asked Astro to participate but he refused to perform! The brat. His loss.)

Here are the performances.

Please vote after you’ve watched and the highest vote getter will join the Top 13. Good luck!

Pia Toscano – I Stand By You

Xenia – Breakeven

Casey Weston – Black Horse and the Cherry Tree

Drew Ryniewicz – It Must Have Been Love

Rachel Crow – If I Were A Boy

Stefano Langone – I Need You Now

Pimp spot! Of course!

I Vote For…

Voting ends Saturday 6 PM ET

@realphill RICKEY, I cannot believe you are forcing us to go through this Pia Poo again. I hate you for this. Snickers bar?

Rickey, I am glad that you gave pimp spot to Stefano and it seems your love for him is still alive.

I voted for Stefano.

Adam Levine completely screwed Casey Weston, just like he did Rebecca Loebe. So I voted for Casey. :))

@JamCar I don't even get the appeal of Chicken Little. I mean it was clear Rebecca was better during the battle rounds and her audition is just so much better than everyone else.

@crackinthewall@JamCar So true. Especially considering he was the second coming of Kevin Covais. Seen it, done it. It was such a dumb choice.

Wait... are we supposed to vote based on singing (The Voice), stage presence (X Factor), or personal drama (American Idol). I can't choose!

Hey Rickey how many people are going through? Is it just 1? I think 2 would be better!!

Oh, please. Drew and Xenia should cancel each other out - both little girls trying so hard to be quirky, dissipating on their way to obscurity. Meanwhile, Rachel Crow killed that song (I mean, for someone so young). As someone who didn't watch X-Factor, that's the first time I've seen this. Not great, but surprisingly good.

@jeffreychrist Boooo! I LOVE DREW! + Rachel just annoys me.

@jlscott13 Annoyed by Rachel but not "omg someone said for the first time I wasn't perfect so I'm going to cry so much!", Drew? ...How does that work out?

@jeffreychrist Did you vote for Rachel for Wild Card? I thought you loved Stefano!

@jeffreychrist Stefano Minnelli!

@jeffreychrist It's so interesting to see all three shows in one sitting no? Similar yet different at the same time.

@Rickey I do like Stefano, but I was surprised at Rachel. Beyonce is no small task, and despite a wobbly beginning, she pulled it off. That gets my vote.

Stefano? ...Really? ---LOL!

Rachel Crow all the way, tbh. But no one will understand! Pia doesn't even have enough performances to compete! ;p

@Klope62 actually, not even the winner of the voie has enough performances to compete!. i propose post-show performances!

@realphill You weren't supposed to pick up on that, sir. But luckily I did think this through: Yes, pre-and post show performances. Unfortunately for Pia, she still only sings like 3 songs. =p

Sigh, poor Casey. No one remembers her.

@realphill I thought the early twist of a Wild Card is perfect.

@Rickey@realphill That was your mistake Rickey. I am not gonna go through all this again. Pia should NOT even be here, Stefano already went further than she on Idol.

@Rickey@realphill Rickey, that's a good idea. Just put Stefano in the top 13. You're the master of this world :)

@realphill I was going to put him in the Top 13 outright, but decided: why not put it to a vote? It's more exciting this way! It's like a battle for reality TV survival!

Of course my two faves (Pia and Drew) are pinned against each other.

With that said, I had to vote Pia. I'm still upset about her early ouster.

@jlscott13 I wonder if I should change the voting to multiple votes, so you can vote for two people or more if you want. Is that a better idea?

@Rickey But I would be torn because I want Drew in! I want Xenia in! I want Rachel in! How should I choose? ):

@Klope62 In place of Casey Weston, who I chose in favor of Frenchie Davis. :(

@Klope62 haha too bad i chose Drew! Rachel is good but i don't think she's stable enough. I always think that Drew is better than Rachel.

@Rickey I would keep it one vote. That way it makes fans vote for their absolute favorite.
