So apparently two of Emblem 3 have relatives with ties to Hollywood
Quote:
Ever since the Huntington Beach trio Emblem 3 performed their first audition song, "Sunset Blvd.," on X Factor, the group has presented itself as a couple of surfer dudes from a "small California town."
While the surfing part is definitely true, the group -- comprised of the forever shirtless Drew Chadwick and brothers Wesley and Keaton Stromberg -- has not yet revealed their surprising Hollywood connections. Namely, their father William Stromberg, a Grammy-nominated composer who has worked on A-list television shows like Lost, and their uncle Robert Stromberg, who has won Academy Awards for his work as a production designer for Avatar and Alice in Wonderland.
In addition to his work in art direction, Robert Stromberg is currently directing Angelina Jolie in her forthcoming film, Maleficent. His other credits include The Hunger Games, Water for Elephants, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, Shutter Island, 2012, Tropic Thunder and The Good Shephard.
William Stromberg had success as a conductor in the '90s with credits for the films Kate and Leopold, Legally Blonde, Election, and The Cider House Rules.
The X Factor competitors come from quite a musical gene pool on both sides of the family. Their mother, Laraine Claire, is reportedly a composer and jazz harpist with a degree from the University of Southern California.
Emblem 3 are hardly the first X Factor contestants with Hollywood ties. Earlier this season, Gene Simmons' daughter Sophie Tweed Simmons impressed the judges at her San Francisco audition, but was later cut during the boot camp round.
Despite the fact that their group consists of three young male performers, Emblem 3 has continually stated that they are not boy band, but musicians. X Factor goes live on FOX Wednesday night.
Britney made me feel like she was controlled by a remote. Like, press 1 and she'll say amazing, press 2 and she'll say "you did great" stuffs like that
I like how Demi, LA and Simon are somehow having arguments, they make the panel more interesting but I hope Britney would but in more.
Mario was doing really great at the hosting, Khloe was still uncomfortable with it.
Anyway, this episode is considerable in my part since it's their first live show. They need to be great in the next one.
The girl from The Voice sang the song better than Willie did. That was just meh.
Emblem 3 is ugh. But I do think they did good.
Queen CeCe I think they slammed her so people would feel sorry for her to try and get her more votes when the public can vote next week. Paige was ehhh. The mic was turned down so low it felt like.
LYLAS were great. Camilia, Lauren, and Amani are superstars. I need a new Danity Kane, but FIRST......they need to change that damn name.
Seriously? 1432? What kind of name is that? They need to change it ASAP.
But seriously.. all the song choices were horrible and the performances seemed so fake and manufactured. I didn't enjoy most of the performances which really sucks because a lot of them are sooo talented.
Emblem 3, 1432, and Lyric 145 had the best performances of the night.
Everyone in the over 25s is just not interesting. I really don't understand why Tara was kicked off when she had a better voice than 75% of the guys (bar David) and she actually had a personality that was interesting.
JENNEL is such a total package. I need her to win....although her haircut is ugly but I blame demi for that. Her messy dirty street hipster look>>>>>>>>>>>> tha **** Demi tried to turn her into.
Other than SIMON, the panel is just pure ****. Like wtf, we got Britney who is basically a robot, LA bias hating ass and Demi who doesn't the **** she's talking about.
I have no problem with lylas name change I never pay attention really to names anyway, as long as your music is good lol I'm straight I'm a huge little mix fan and when they changed there name I remember people at first like what the hell is a little mix, but after awhile hearing the name a lot u get use to it, and u deal with it, that will happen with 1432. Let' be honest there are worse names in the music industry right now, there are loads of names that don't make sense lol.
I think they slammed her so people would feel sorry for her to try and get her more votes when the public can vote next week. Paige was ehhh. The mic was turned down so low it felt like.
