According to E!Online, Broadway veteran Darren Criss was asked to host Season 2 of FOX's 'The X Factor.' A source told E! that the HOW TO SUCCEED alum 'politely declined the gig' because of his busy schedule.

Can I get a drum roll please? Tonight is the night, everyone! We are finally going to find out who is the winner of The X Factor! After a long journey, Josh Krajcik, Chris Rene, and Melanie Amaro have made it to the end, and one of them will have their dreams come true tonight! They all were amazing last night and it is obvious that the best and most deserving contestants are standing on stage tonight. It is so hard to decide who should be the champion, but it is all in the hands of America now. This is going to be a very close call! The votes are in and we will soon find out who has The X Factor!

This is the moment you've all been waiting for- the finals! After a long road of auditions, boot camp, and the live shows, we are now just inches away from the finish line. The 3 finalists will each sing two songs for the last time for America's votes. Josh Krajcik, Chris Rene, and Melanie Amaro are performing for their lives tonight. Tomorrow, one of them will be crowned the winner of The X Factor!

Tonight is the night, everyone- the last results show before the finals! We are going to find out who our finalists are! There were some really great performances last night, but one more contestant must go home tonight. This huge decision is completely up to America and no one will be performing for their lives. Anything can happen! This is a night when the votes can really make or break the competition. Did America get it right? We will soon find out as the 3 finalists that will be competing next week to win it all are revealed!

This is it, people- the semi-finals! We have come so far, there are just 3 episodes left! The top 4 will be competing live tonight for a place in the finale! The contestants will be singing two songs, one of them being the Pepsi Challenge Song, a song that America choses for them to sing. Tonight, they must be at their best, since they need to impress viewers more than ever. One person will be going home tomorrow and the judges have no say in this. The contestants' fates are completely in the hands of America. We are just one week away from crowning the winner of the X Factor!

The time has come, folks- it's the final 5 results show! After tonight, 4 contestants will move on to next week's semi-finals and be just one step away from winning the competition! Last night, everyone did a great job with their dance song as well as the songs that they chose for themselves. One contestant must go home tonight and will not make it to the semi-finals.

Are you ready to dance? Tonight, the contestants will be performing dance songs. We now are down to the top 5 finalists and are just a couple weeks away from crowning the winner of The X Factor! The remaining contestants will be performing tonight for a spot in the Semi-finals. They must bring their A game because they are singing 2 songs each. They are once again competing for your votes and one more contestant will be leaving the competition tomorrow! Only 4 will be moving on to next week's Semi-Finals!

This is it, everyone- the final 7 results show! After tonight, we will be left with just 5 contestants! We are coming down to homestretch and it is getting harder and harder to lose such great performers. It is especially difficult on nights like tonight when two acts must go home. While some contestants struggled, most conquered Michael Jackson songs wonderfully last night. It is tough to decide who should be leaving, but it certainly is easy to know who deserves to stay. We can only hope that America got it right tonight and put the strongest competitors through to next week!

Tonight is going to be a "thriller," people- its Michael Jackson night! The finalists take on the King of Pop as they compete live for your votes. The competition is getting tough! We lost two acts last week, Lakoda Rayne and LeRoy Bell, and are now down to the top 7. Paula no longer has any contestants left in the competition and Nicole only has one. Not only do they have the weight of performing songs from the world's greatest stars, but another two acts will be sent home tomorrow night. The number of acts is shrinking and we can now see the finish line. Who will do the superstar's music justice? Who will choke under the pressure of taking on such a large feat? We will soon find out!

Get the tissues ready everyone- its Thanksgiving week and tonight's episode is going to be emotional! The contestants will sing songs that they dedicate to the people who inspire them. We will finally get to see a personal side of the finalists. And after an intense results show last week, we are down to the top 9 who will be competing live tonight for your votes. The stakes have now been raised, as two contestants will be going home tomorrow. The contestants need to be at their best tonight since only 7 will move on to next week and be one step closer to winning The X Factor!

Last night it was announced that Stacy Francis, one of Nicole Scherzinger's Over 30 finalists, was eliminated from THE X FACTOR.

Here we go again, folks- the results show! Last night was rough as the contestants performed rock songs. Some shined, while others crashed and burned. Only 9 will move on to next week's live show. Did some of last night's slips affect the fates of the strongest competitors? We will soon find out as the bottom two will be revealed and one contestant will be going home tonight!

Are you ready to rock? Yeah, you guessed it- tonight is rock night! We are now down to the top 10 contestants who will be rocking out live tonight. The competition is heating up as they continue to fight your votes and prove that they have what it takes to win it all!

It's that time again, people- the results show! The competition was fierce last night as the contestants sang songs from movie soundtracks. Everyone stepped it up, but only 10 can move on. America has voted and made the difficult decision of who will stay in the competition and who is in the bottom two. One more contestant will be sent home tonight and the top 10 will be revealed!

And... action! Tonight is movie night, everyone! The final 11 contestants perform live and sing songs that have been used on movie soundtracks. They are once again, competing for your votes. Tonight they are just one step closer winning it all. The finalists must prove to America that they have the X Factor!

America has spoken, everyone! This is the first results show where you decide who deserves to stay in the competition. The votes are in and one contestant will leave tonight. After singing their hearts out last night, only 11 will move on to next week's show. Are the best contestants moving forward or is the wrong contestant going home? Did America make the right decision? The answer will soon be revealed!

The competition is getting tough, people! We are now down to the final 12! The live shows are off to a great start. The stakes have been raised once again. The 3 contestants left in each category will compete tonight to win the votes of viewers at home. That's right- the finalists' fates will now be in your hands! The contestants must bring their A game tonight, since they don't just have to win over the judges anymore, now they have to impress America as well in order to make it one step closer to winning The X Factor.

This is it everyone- the live shows are finally here! Tonight is the night that the real competition begins. The finals have begun and the winner is among the 17 contestants that are performing tonight. On top of that, by the end of the episode, five more will be eliminated and each judge has to choose only three from their group to move on to next week. Pressure is on as the finalists perform live for the judges, a studio audience, and the viewers at home. Who will prove they deserve to take it all? Who will choke so close to the finish line? We will soon find out! Anything can happen when the competition goes live!

The moment you have all been waiting for has arrived- the finalists have been revealed! After surviving the auditions, boot camp, and now the judges' home round, the toughest competitors are singled out to go head-to-head. This is the last installment of the three part judges' homes round, which means that the judges have each made their decisions of which four contestants from their group have what it takes to compete in the live finals. We are now left with the final 16 contestants that will be fighting to the finish!

Here we go again folks- it's the Judges' Homes round take 2! The contestants continue to fight for their lives as they perform in front of the judges and special guests. After tonight, only half will move on to the finals and have a shot at winning The X Factor!

The time has come everyone- the best of the best are suiting up and getting ready to face-off! It's the Judges' Homes round which means that we are just one step away from the highly anticipated live shows! After surviving Boot Camp, the remaining 32 contestants were separated into groups and assigned one of the four judges as a mentor. The stakes are raised as the competition is now not only between the contestants, but also between the judges to prove that they have the performer with 'The X Factor!' Over the course of three episodes, contestants will get the opportunity to visit their assigned judge's home and the 32 will be cut into the 16 who will move on to the live finals.

Hosted by Steve Jones, THE X FACTOR made its highly anticipated debut last month on FOX. THE X FACTOR judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid and Nicole Scherzinger began their search for undiscovered talent 12 years old and over - both solo artists and vocal groups - who are worthy of the largest prize in television history: a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music. This week boot camp began!
