I wouldn’t take the internet’s word for Keith’s & Ryan’s height.  For ex. Wiki says David Cook is 6’2″ – but he’s not nearly that tall – he’s more like 5’10-11″. 

I remember David Cook looking like a giant beside Ryan Seacrest – and David Cook isn’t much taller than my 5’9″, I’d say 5’11″. Keith does look tiny haha.  

Nice one Jr8809 :)
lol I bet they photoshopped Ryan to make him taller.

Well, Mariah and Niki are in the battle rounds, right?  :)

AI photos always look like old school/family portrait in the 90′s.

agree. X factor makes the show and it’s contestants look fresh. 

“At least Mariah tends not to wear outfits that look as if Lady Gaga
threw them out because they were too tacky.  That unfortunately doesn’t
apply to every female member of the panel, however.  ;)”

Are you joking? Mariah looks nice in that dress, but she has dressed like a cheap hooker for years. The fake boobs in the pushup bra spilling out all over, the way way way too short skirts. She is tacky tacky tacky. Maybe she will try and play graceful lady to Nicki’s ott style, but Mariah has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she can out tacky just about anyone – even Xtina. Btw – what is it with all of these reality show female judges with boob jobs that make them look more like hookers. I never minded Jlo – she always looked great. But it seems like some of them robbed a silicone factory!
