Who really has The X Factor????

THAT IS THE QUESTION, Season One of the Powerhouse Reality Show, proved to have everyone buzzing. The Fox Program had you asking questions like, "Is Rachel Crow really a Teenager," "What does everyone see in Chris Renee," and "WTF is wrong w/ Crazy Eyes, Stacy Francis." This season of the X Factor was filled with multiple views and opinions. Myself.... along w an INCREDIBLE Group of Co-Hosts, recapped the entire season of the X Factor on AfterBuzzTV. Anchored by Actress KAT BAILESS, JC Rubio, Marcie Smith, & The Macedo Twins, we brought you a weekly podcast about the initial USA Season. Click Here to download the podcast on ITunes. I have also posted a few Youtube Clips that showcase how much fun we had in the studio, Enjoy !!!!

Holiday Broadcast on AfterBuzzTV (Sing-Off) 

Macedo Performance @ Falcon

Hello Hello, recently got a chance to check a performance from the Macedo Twins. The show was an intimate performance @ Falcon in Hollywood. For me, its always such a cool vibe to see an entertainer work on some new material. I recently met the sisters on the After Show for The X-Factor. Although our primary goal is to recap the show, I also found out that the two of them where musically inclined, and being the supportive person that I am, I had to ch-ch-check it out. They did GREAT, below are some necessary links etc etc, if you'd like to learn more about them, thanks so much !!!! Website Link : click here

NBC's The Sing-Off - Finale

NBC's The Sing-Off is definitely a Reality Competition Show unlike no other. Whenever someone initially watches the program, you usually hear a response like.... "Hey, I thought you said there was NO INSTRUMENTS." The vocal talents of these groups is pretty kick-ass and fun to watch once you truly embrace the craft. Along w The AfterBuzz Team (Tamara, Kimlai, & Steve) we made our way to The Sony Lot to check out the series Finale & Red Carpet. We later recorded our AfterBuzz Podcast about the episode/Red Carpet Report. Enjoy !!!!

How WE "Make It In America"

If you know me.... you would know that I have never connected to a show quite like, HBO's "How To Make It In America." From Motivation to Inspiration, to the element of NYC, Hustle, and Fun, #HowToMakeIt creates such a positive source of Ambition. This past season, I was fortunate enough to assemble a great group of people to recap the show with me, via AfterBuzzTV. Check out the screen grab below to see all the action.

Congrats to my friends Ernie & Jesse who are in production on their Third Season of ERNIEandJESSE.com - THE PODCAST.

Cal State LA - Event Moderator

Hello Folks, in Mid-August I was contacted by Journalist/Radio Host, Wendy Carrillo about an event held @ Cal State LA. Carrillo who attended the University in 2005 had explained the need for a Live Host/Moderator in their upcoming Social Media/Health Education Forum. Scheduling proved to be a tad tricky, however, being recommended in high esteem from someone as respected as Wendy Carrillo, I made it my priority to attend. The Event was a complete success and I look forward to working on Projects like this in the near future. Thank You Wendy Carrillo

The Talented - Sonyae Elise

For the past several years we have seen every Singing Competition under the sun, BUT.... we've never seen anything about The Songwriter.

Recently Bravo TV along w/ The Writing Camp, teamed up to launch it's original series, Platinum Hit. The Talent Competition which is Hosted / Judged by Jewell & American Idol Alum, Kara DioGuardi created quite a buzz over the Summer. As the series came to an end, we were invited to the Finale Viewing Party where we met the nights winner, Sonyae Elise. Check out the video for more !!!!
