Carrie Underwood fans are a loyal and vocal bunch. Care Bears leapt to the singer's defense immediately after 'X Factor' judge, singer and actress Demi Lovato made a somewhat innocuous comment to a contestant on the reality singing show that was interpreted as a diss of Underwood.

'X Factor' Season 3 hopeful Rachel Potter is 29, but she looks terrific for her age -- like a teenage version of 'Glee' star Lea Michele.

Country songbird LeAnn Rimes is reportedly back in the running as a possible judge on  the reality competition 'The X Factor.'

Shelton became the first major country star to appear on a mainstream reality TV singing competition when he signed on as a coach for 'The Voice,' while Urban is appearing as a judge on the upcoming season of 'American Idol.'

After the less-than-perfect performance generated some criticisms -- like comments that the ladies had no chemistry and struggled to the suggestion that Rimes was drunk -- the family of Sonenclar, who placed second on the show, is hopping mad over the singer's comments. Rimes' statements seemed to la

Congrats to future country superstar Tate Stevens. He was announced as the winner of Season 2 of 'X Factor' during Thursday's (Dec. 20) season finale, capping off a week of reality singing competition shows that were dominated by country wins.

Country hopeful Tate Stevens fell from grace a little on 'X Factor' last week, dropping from the top slot on the leaderboard after occupying it for multiple weeks. He's out to recapture that crown, so he decided to change things up a little and do an upbeat song on Wednesday's (Nov. 28) episode -- something we haven't really seen from him in past weeks. He tackled Keith Urban's 'Somebody Like You'

On Wednesday's (Nov. 21) episode of 'X Factor,' each performer was asked to give thanks with their performance and to perform a song for someone they are thankful.

On last night's (Nov. 15) episode of 'X Factor,' Taylor Swift performed 'State of Grace,' the song that kicks off her mega-seller, 'Red.' Wearing a black fedora, white button-down, black flood pants and glittery shoes, Swift made the menswear trend look good.

On tonight's diva episode of 'X Factor,' country singer Tate Stevens served up a terrific version of Shania Twain's 'From This Moment On.' Stevens was atop the leaderboard in fan votes last week, so the country genre is well-represented on this particular reality series. The fact that Stevens chose to sing a country diva's song for this themed episode was also a nice touch and kept country deeply
