This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is soulful songbird Asia Major. Watch as the US native take on K.Michelle‘s latest hit ‘V.S.O.P.’:

Yes, yes, yes! Asia smashed this.

The clarity of her voice is just simply wonderful.  A tricky song to sing (see: back and forth transition of higher and lower notes), but not only did she “handle” it well, she mixed and molded it into something of her own.

Great job.

The folks over at ‘X Factor USA’ are undoubtedly breathing a sigh of a relief after last night’s episode showed signs of improvement from Wednesday’s abysmal ratings showing.

Indeed, not even the likes of Paulina Rubio, Demi Lovato, and Kelly Rowland were able to sail the sinking ship that brought in a series low in ratings for its September 11th premiere.

Full story below (via THR):

“The second night of The X Factor‘s third season gave Fox a win among adults 18-49, though the singing competition still saw steep drops from last year’s comparable episode.

The two-hour auditions averaged a 2.2 rating with adults 18-49 and 6.8 million viewers. In the demo, that’s a tenth of a point improvement from Wednesday’s one-hour opener, but a 30 percent fall from the sophomore run’s Thursday debut (3.1 adults).”

****

The report above surfaced just a day after outlets slammed the show for its season 3 premiere rating of 6.2 million – 22% less than its season 2 premiere.
