The X-Factor USA is here!
Fox’s much hyped British import has finally kicked off on American soil and looks set to be the biggest show of its kind.
Featuring judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, LA Reid and Nicole Scherzinger, the show favours American Idol with its nationwide auditions. However, there is a defining twist in that groups and solo acts over 25’s are eligible to enter.
After weeks of auditions and bootcamp we now enter the live shows where the narrowed down top 3 are battling to advance to be crowned the winner of the competition. In true form, the finale sees some of today’s biggest movers and shakers lending their talents to the young hopefuls.
See the best and the worst of tonight’s showing below as R. Kelly, Avril Lavigne, and Alanis Morissette guest:
Melanie!!
R. Kelly!!!!!! Melanie has to win
Melanie sung the s*** out of that song, I really hope she wins!
*YAWNS* AIN’T NONE OF THESE H*** MESSIN WIT MELANIE SORRY BUT ITS ALREADY KNOW THAT SHE WILL WIN THAT CHRIS RENE AND ADVIL RESTRAIN S*** WAS HORRIBLEEEEEEEEE! LAWD HOW THE F*** DID HE EVEN MAKE IT TO THE DAMN FINALS? LAWD RACHAEL SHOULD HAVE MADE IT HERE NOT THIS LAME B****! #FAIL HE LOSE AND THE OTHER DUDE… BLAH HES BORING AND GOT A OLD MAN VOICE THAT WONT SELL.
I dont see any of these acts selling. Nothing unique about any of them. These days you need more than a voice *cough* Melanie
In UK Avril is the biggest and most current out of the 3 so whoever would’ve duetted with her would’ve won, hopefully US is different ‘cos of what I’ve seen of TXFUS Melanie needs to win.
Saying that though…this is X FACTOR USA, its meant to draw in current names, if in UK we can get beyonce, michael buble, christina agueria, rihanna etc shouldn’t USA have got even bigger names since, its the USA! Plus a bigger budget?!
I dunno, maybe exciting to the U.S but the songs seem to be re-hashed from the U.K versions. Melanie can sing but her voice doesn’t move me or excite me like Fantasia’s does, if Melanie wins and gets the album wrong she’ll be finished – Melanie still ain’t be singing better than Alexandra.
Whoever says that Avril was huge in the U.K is a liar
Melanie can sing bt she has a boring personality I don’t see her albums going off the shelves, the hype of her Caribbean heritage and accent is gonna die down quick n she aint even representing…chris rene looks like a dead man wth dracula’s teeth and the other guy dnt even wanna say nuffin regarding him… They chose the wrong ppl for this sect ASTRO or RACHEAL shuld b here!
What r kelly did was.unfair
AGREE. THEY ALL SUCKED!!! NO ONE IMPRESSED TONITE
Chris Rene – the fake mediocre lame version of Eminem; not even close. That’s the reason tweeners are voting for him. They think he’s the “nice” and sober version of Eminem. Unfortunately, he’s not even close to Em 2.0 at all. Talent and sinigng wise, he’s a FAIL -2.0.
Melanie Amaro – she has no soul, no feeling at all in her vocals when she sings. She’s the type that sings note/pitch perfect but when it comes to inspiring and making one feel the lyrics and putting “tears in your eyes” she’s a damn karoake singer. Big difference listening to when R Kelly came on stage and listening to karaoke Amaro.
Josh Krajcik – He’s done. He wont sell at all. He’s more of a european style “pop” ballad singer from the 80’s and 90’s. Very boring, very bland. Been there done that. He really seems the UK type of singer not US. UK still falls for those ballad boring singers onm stage who nothing but stand there. Susan Boyle ring a bell??? He aint no rock star. The judges are so fake for labelling him that. Ridiculous!!
The call will be between Melanie and Chris, Josh is out 100%. Chris is more urban modern style artist though he sucks at singing (but what artist of this current generation can sing?? Exactly… pro-tools and auto-tune!). He does fit into this current realm of “singers” today – sing talking/dancing/urban movements on stage. For that you can say he does have some sort of talent. Melanie fits right in to what judges look for in these fake reality shows – nice girl, good vocals, nice friendly personality who loves her family to bits – what every mama wants there daughter to appear like on tv. Melanie will win by small margin though none will sell big. I bet Chris will sell more on his first album. Then he dies right away as real music fans realize he aint Eminem 2.0, far from it.
What is the orignal song of Chris Rene? i want to have his music, i think simon is correct on saying that is a $5 Million song! everyone on the last seat deserves to win. Go Chris rene, i know you could do it.
melanie is soo overrated! I’ve watched this from the beginning, and yes the girl can hold a note, but that’s about it. She sounded soooo flat in the R Kelly song, and Alexandra Burke and Charice can murder this b**** soo easily with their renditions of “Listen”.
I know black girls in my neighborhood who can sing better.
I voted for Chris. he sounds like a mike posner meets (white) drake.
Your Momma- U must not know music like u think you do. Josh is Original, has Range to his voice, He plays instruments, Makes every song his own, Has Depth to his Voice and is just plain AMAZING!!!!! While I do respect your opinion cause everyone has a right to their own voice; this man will go far & also loves what he does. He also has been working toward this his whole life and has had a ruff road including a single dad, trying to do right by his child and this is his dream!!!!! In my heart of hearts he shouldve have been THE X FACTOR WINNER due to the type of singer he truly is and stays true to himself!!!!!!! <3 LOVE YA JOSH AND AM A HUGE FAN…..eventhough you didnt Win tonight; I have NO DOUBT that you will go FAR in Music!!!!! You feel his music through your veins which takes you to a place of Serenity and you feel so much passion/emotion that it can bring you to tears!!!!!!! UR STILL THE X FACTOR JOSH IN ALL YOUR FANS, FAMILIES, & FRIENDS HEARTS!!!!!!! <3 I LOVE UR MUSIC!!!!!!!
R.Kelly is THE MAN!!!!!
KING ROBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SLAYEDD
YESSSSS
