Italians Sing Nirvana, As Kurt Cobain Rock N’ Rolls Over In His Grave

28 October 2010 11:16 AM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »

Yesterday, we fell in love with Marco Mengoni, the winner of Italian X Factor last season, whose combination of Bruno looks and mediocre singing ability combined with his ambiguously hot sexuality is what Italian reality shows are made of. But a new season has begun! And who do you think they’ve gotten to replace the oh so delectable Marco? This. thing. named Nevruz. Here he is singing Nirvana‘s “Lithium.” Nirvana with an Italian accent is my new drug of choice. My other? Judge with a mustache, of course. ps Dear Italy, Please stop butchering American classics. Thanks to Kekkoz for bringing this to my attention. »

“X Factor: Italy” Winner Is Hot, Hilarious, And Terrible

27 October 2010 2:08 PM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »

America has been at a loss, picking up the pieces since it was announced a couple of months ago that Simon Cowell would not be returning to American Idol, but rather as a judge on another UK import called X Factor. X Factor is a show kind of like Idol, only with a lot more props and unattractive people. Anybody can make it on X Factor. The humbles. The poors. The unbreastimplanted. Susan Boyle. And the adorable and very crushable Matt Cardle. But what you may not have realized is that America is one of the last countries to get their very own X Factor. In fact, 27 countries have already beaten us to the punch. One of those countries being Italy, a land known mainly for their pasta and mustaches. Italy’s X Factor is the stuff that dreams are made of. Not only do the judges have really fun »
