X Factor 11.30.11

Top 7 Perform- Michael Jackson Night

Lakoda Rayne and LeRoy Bell went home last week....two more will go home...who will it be? Let's see how the contestants do with the King of Pop.

Josh Krajcik
How is Josh going to pull of a Michael Jackson hit. This is typical Dirty Diana is a rock song but it still doesn't fit Josh's persona. This might be the worse week for Josh but is it enough to send him home?

Astro
Black and White, Astro has really shown a different side to a Michael Jackson song but great song choice. Astro is BADD!!!

Drew
Billie Jean is a great hit but was this a great pick for Drew? Typical Drew performance....what will LA have to say about this? He liked it. I agree with Nicole and Paula that Drew needed to get up from the chair.

Rachel Crow
Can you feel it? Rahcel could have selected a better song. This was her element and I don't think Simon portrayed Rachel well. LA and Nicole are right, there was no feeling or connection with the song. Better luck next time Rachel hopefully this will not put you in the bottom two.

Marcus Canty
PYT, has Mr. Innocent church boy gone to the other side? Not liking this fiscal of a performance. His voice doesn't even sound good. "whole package" are we watching the same show? Not impressed....

Chris Rene
I'll be there, I'm surprised he's still here in the competition. Will this challenge be his last? Looked and sang the best he's ever....really? Paula and Nicole have crushes on these little boys but not real criticism. LA stop lying to yourself, you know Simon is right. He's going to need all the help he can get to stay in this competition.

Melanie Amaro
The Earth Song, Melanie looks stronger than ever. Her outfit and voice are on fire. Melanie has just taken this competition to another level. Everyone else better catch up. LA is right, "the best of the night." Paula, "Flawless." Great way to close out the show Melanie, you were superb.

Who has rocked the King of Pop to stay in the competition? RIP MJJ

Basketball Wives LA 11.28.11

Reunion Pt. 2

Laura so you say its on now but we shall see how long this will last...THIS TIME!!!

Jackie's turn finally....LOL...wow Laura what's that face about? Doug is whipped...Jackie tries to give this hard role. Jackie is pyscho....but she must have some good ass pussy for him to sit quietly about his wifes crazy mental state.

Malaysia is speaking, wow. Everyone was impressionable and Jackie used their weaknesses to create the mess. Jackie, you lying now.

Gloria you hit the nail on the head. Jackie creates "internal issues to fix as a big sister or mother hen".

Imani is that a nipple....is it cold. Draya is all about the sex. LOL Jackie is so aggressive. "LADY" did Draya just call her a lady. LMAO

That ring is holding Laura down. It's too heavy for her to get up this time.

John is funny, "Jackie you're being delusional, these girls don't like you." Jackie what are you holding on to.

Draya, "Do you have a doctor? Michael Jackson's doctor." KILL HER...LOL

Jackie loves all of it because she is liking the attention. Have you not noticed the whole conversation has been about Jackie. "Realist" Jackie you are not being real with yourself about the responsibility you have played in this. WOW, they are hating, on what?

Jackie you are the only one that knows the truth. Jackie you are truly hurt which is the persona you put forth. Jackie was almost as bad as Tanaya in a different light...Jackie did it again flipping the script to make herself seem like the victim instead of the predator. No one was talking bad about your mother dying. Calm down....the tears weren't needed.

Why are you bringing innocent bystanders into the situation? Jackie is a politician...a constant liar and talking around the issue.

Forgive and Forget.....the crazy lady is still everyone's friend....LOL...until next season.

Love & Hip-hop 11.28.11

The Aftermath continues

Yandy you're talking too much to the person that is not your client. I agree with Chrissy, Yandy, you did need to learn discretion.

Wow someone is "blown away" with Somaya....Midi Mafia...big things for Somaya.

Emily is so emotional. It can only get better from here, Emily, just stay strong. Emily get back out there, take your friends advice.

Yandy, you should have answered the phone for your client. That's your "money".

Kimbella, you are not a woman. Yandy, that's not talent, that's a ho.

Somaya you are selling sex, look at you. Swift is not interested in you like you are into him. He's about that business...get your mind right.

Emily always sounds like she's about to cry. Emily stay focused.

Olivia stop being so hard. Somaya is trying to make peace so take for what it is. Ok Somaya the shoes were a bit tacky...her picture on the bottom?

I agree Emily, why support.

Yandy are you crying? Really? You were all tough before now you shedding tears...personal or business....$25k that was more than your pride according to your comments in the club. "Checks"

Wow Somaya what a first date....alot of emotion...maybe he is a little interested but after one thing....LOL....it is the industry.

Yandy you were out of line so just apologize like you suggested to Chrissy regarding Kimbella and let it go. You're not being a woman about it like you want her to be. Chrissy, I'm proud of you for not putting your hands on Yandy but you could have mushed her. That mouth is ridiculous...

Next week...we shall see if the airhead Kimbella gets her apology from Chrissy.

X Factor 11.22.11

Top 9 Perform

Rachel Crow
She looks beautiful...looks so grown up. I can see her in the industry for a long time.  LA you can't be the mean guy all the time. Is Nicole tearing up? WOW Paula, "...angel on earth..." Simon pat yourself on the back for this one. We believe in you, Rachel. She sounded wonderful. Great opener. 

Marcus Canty
This is a sappy night. Marcus is tearing up...oops I mean crying. Nicole still has tears in her eyes. Paula gives the same feedback each time with the "honest" and "genuine" performance. Simon thanks for being honest. This was his best performance to his mother. LA you're full of it. Marcus cannot be compared to someone like Babyface Edmonds. Let's be honest here...

Melanie Amaro
Dedication to God is always appreciated. Looking amazing like usual. Not the strongest performance but like always a great performance. Melanie has taken over the feedback session. I love it...We cannot let Melanie go home. VOTE for Melanie just for Simon. LOL

Chris Rene
Can Nicole and Paula stop rehearsing their feedback? LOL they say the same thing every time. Simon I wasn't feeling the first song either. LA you believe in your 'boys' regardless if they suck...

Lakoda Rayne
Great song... but you were off key. LA you always want to be mean. Girls you have bought Simon's vote finally. Stay in this lane. Paula, why are you crying? Last group left but 2 have to go.

LeRoy Bell
Look at that handsome young man...he hardly looks like he has aged. Oh great song choice. Pull everything you have inside regarding your mother to pull this off LeRoy. LA could finally be mean. WOW, Simon doesn't agree with LA. LeRoy you're in the contest but is it too late?

Astro
Dedicated to his fans is a commendable way to apologize. Great apology. Not the best song as Simon stated but it worked for the moment. Astro is still young and has a lot of growing up to do. Remember this is a competition, you have not won yet. There will always be disappointments but its how you handle them that makes the lesson worth learning. Keep striving.

Drew
Friends can be the best and worse things in life. Glad your friend is the best thing in your life. Not really feeling this performance. The prop is overpowering her and has become a distraction. LA, age appropriate music really? Simon didn't choose the song, she did. Her voice doesn't require her "age appropriate music". Simon told LA to shut-up...LOL. Great debate....every woman's dream, two respectable men fighting over them. Go Drew...

Josh Krajcik
Wild horses couldn't drag anyone away from their kids. This is a powerful song Josh, I hope you show that in your performance. Wasn't as strong of a performance that we are use to seeing from him. He does have the same musical talent we are use to seeing from these types of competitions. When will we see something different?

EVERYONE VOTE, tonight is very important. Tomorrow 2 contestants will leave us...who will it be? See you tomorrow.

Love & Hip-hop 11.21.11

Bitch, I'm Fuego

Kimbella are you serious? "Endorsing"? "Still look pretty" but you got fucked up...LOL. Emily why are  you crying?

Chrissy is a real woman. It's only natural for her to feel some type of way the next day, not only because of the relationship between Jim and Juelz but because she's a grown woman at this point in her life.

Somaya is all over the place with no style or class. Talk about confusion.

Yandy should have never brought Kimbella. Kimbella stop acting like you don't what the fuck went down. You know exactly what you did and why you got punched.

Yandy you must not know your family very well. You need to learn to separate the business and personal.

Somaya you need to seriously take your friend's advice on the wardrobe.

Emily and Kimbella....Emily cannot handle this situation. Chrissy handled your situation already, why are you listening to this girl? Emily you care and you need to tell her that. Be real, you two will never be friends and you will never respect her as a woman at his point on.

Chrissy just punked you too Yandy...LOL

Maurice you fail to realize Somaya actually got Barry wrapped around her finger because she has the jewels with or without talent. Dummy....

Chrissy no one fears you they respect you to have their back. Chrissy that was great advice to give Emily as a friend. Emily you did mess up by saying you were moving forward for him. Your friends want you to move on for YOU. Chrissy is right you do need to stand up for  yourself more. Show how strong you really are.

Chrissy you're not the mean girl, you're the real girl. Get that straight. Olivia are you hating? I agree she doesn't have the talent that Olivia has but she's going for hers. LOL
Yandy you might have just put your foot in your mouth with your "check" attitude.

Next week we will see if Yandy and Kimbella will last this season.....

Basketball Wives LA 11.21.11

Reunion Pt. 1

Everyone looks beautiful....curly hair must be the thing of the night except for Jackie. It's starting off calm with the opening fight between Laura and Malaysia, which was over when it started. Malaysia has such a docile tone every time she speaks.

Imani is impressionable. Jackie is still playing the game. The confusion is still being dished by Jackie. Laura looked very lost and out of it like she did in the last couple episodes. Is she still doped up?

Dude almost choked when she said $800K, LOL.

Gloria has no ring on. Come on she should have known to live her life while he was living his. Laura can't give anyone advice about her love life. Doug must really keep Jackie sane.

Seeing all that's happened with the controversy, I believe that Jackie started all of it. What explanation does Draya need to give anyone? I wonder what Laura was going to say about the Draya situation.

Draya and Laura really need to talk. Jackie should have shut-up. That had nothing to do with her. Whoa Gloria and Jackie for real...Jackie showed her ass, literally.


Next week the reunion continues....

Real Housewives of ATL 11.20.11

Shower the Baby, Muzzle the Boy

Sheree are you serious? DJ booth, library, skating rink...wow....who's really rich?

Phaedra did you say, "loved" as in past tense? Respect your husband and discipline that boy.

Leon is gorgeous. I see jealousy in Peter's eye. Cynthia you are an airhead. Peter is hard-headed and stupid. Why did you marry him? Everyone knows when you marry a person, you marry into their family. You cannot take a person away from their family just because you don't like them. The tension has to be resolved.

Wow, what is wrong with these bitches? Stuck up and full of themselves.

Nene is 12 why does he have a Louis Vuitton luggage? You are not that "rich bitch"...LOL. Then again she could have got it from Marshalls...
Separation is so hard on the children. Nene stop acting like you don't care. That is a very cold conversation.

Phaedra trying to put on a front like she can't have bad things happen to her uppity southern family. Phaedra you hit the nail on the head regarding Peter. That should have been something for Cynthia to be red flagged about.

Kim that is a weird looking dog. LOL...I love the new family that Kroy has put together with Kim and her girls. This is real, Kim, take note and hold on tight. This looks like a wedding reception not a baby shower, what in the world.

Kandi please don't take dating advice from Nene. Listen to your mama from a distance. At the end of the day you have to deal with this person all the time one on one. Mama will eventually learn to like them because they make you happy.

Kandi what do you have on? I usually like your outfits but this season I'm questioning your style. Phaedra your baby shower was still a little more over the top. I don't think Kim's shower was for her but for Kroy. Brielle's speech was priceless. Kroy is a great "Dad" for the girls. Kandi you are in the middle of every controversy discussion. LOL

I think that Cynthia doesn't realize they were just talking about them before they came in. Peter doesn't know when to shut-up. Why would you bring up his recent dealings with the police? Cynthia your husband is wrong and hostile, where did you get him from? He must have some serious dick for an older man for you to deal with him. Get him Apollo...

Well the drama will continue next week....

X Factor 11.17.11

Results

GO PAULA, GO PAULA...you're still in the game. I love when you tell Simon, "I told you so." OMG Chris Rene....who in the world is going home? I know Stacy is very worried.

OH NO...Rachel Crow, Stacy Francis and Astro....what in the world? I think we all know who's going to be the bottom two...this is crazy.

Sorry Stacy, you are no competition for Astro. I think she's knows that, looking at her face. It's sad but we know the results. Even in Nicole's speech to Stacy, you could hear the final words of encouragement but also the defeat.

Will she hold it together for this last performance? She wears her heart and expressions on her sleeve....shaky start Stacy...hold it together.

Astro is a surprising bottom two. Astro kind of defeated himself by stating he didn't think he should perform. I'm not sure how some of the judges will feel about that. His perfomance was of course good but was it enough? He didn't put his all into it as if it was for the competition anymore.

I'm sorry Stacy you had to go home. You are beautiful and have shown that no matter at what age, you can still shoot for your dreams.

I hope Astro fixes his attitude otherwise next week he will be going home if not earlier....until next week Tuesday

X Factor 11.16.11

Top 10 Perform

LeRoy Bell

Unfortunately, I will have to say this was one of his most boring performances. He has the voice but not the performance. I need more. So Simon I have to agree.

Rachel Crow

Not sure I'm feeling this song for Rachel. I love her voice but this was very Vegas showgirl weird. Standing ovation...I love this girl. She's such a performer. She overpowered the song with her personality which makes her performance commercial to sell tickets and possibly sellout.

Chris Rene

This was a disater.LA Reid is confused. Bob Marley is not a rockstar. WTF!!! LA you just ruined Chris' chance of making it unless someone else does even worse.

Stacy Francis

LA put his foot in his mouth by not saying anything. Paula you really have something bad to say about someone. Simon's comments are about to get to Stacy. She almost looks like she's about to cry. She actually sounded good but it wasn't as much rock as she could have done. She looks scared.

Melanie Amaro

She has the personality to carry any song. She lacks in confidence when it comes to pushing herself to the edge. She sounded great. I think she could have given a little more "GRRR" but it was great. LA there's a thing called, "soft rock". Paula said exactly what I was thinking. "She took us to church." She's still one to beat...

Josh Krajcik

This is definitely his element so he cannot fail. This was like a real rock concert. Best performance of the night. I would not want to go after him. He just blew everyone out of the water. No need for anymore performances. "Bloody Fantastic"

Astro

This boy is on top of the world. He is definitely making this competition. If he wins, this will be the first time a rapper has ever won one of these types of competitions. That song was well put together. He has Simon in his pocket so far. He has the real home training...show the little man some love.

Lakoda Rayne

Last group and they are making it count. They did have fun. It was like going back to the 80s. They are still building this group. Is there an open market for them? Of course there is. We don't have many groups out that are succeeding or that last anymore. I hope these girls will last...

Drew

Quirky Drew should have been prepared for the worse better the best. Not sounding too good for Drew. The backup singers are covering her vocal mistakes. Paula made a great point. She does have a unique voice hopefully that fan base will understand and keep her alive as Paula said.

Marcus Canty

Marcus is such a ham. Paula said it best, "You are the entertainer..." He is definitely an entertainer. He did a good job...Simon, I'm not sure what performance you were watching. Marcus you know ten is 1-0 not 0-1, LOL....

Does the host have a crush on Lakoda Rayne? He seems to only give them talk time and praise.

Cast your votes for your favorites....it's down to ten. This will be hard....until tomorrow for the results.

Love & Hip-Hop 11.14.11

Premier

Chrissy is a strong woman that calms Jim down. It's a great relationship.

Emily seems like she's trying to grow up. Moving out is a great first step but let's see how many more steps she can take. She deserves to find happiness within to become a stronger woman for real love to come into her life.

Olivia love the hair. Olivia you have to sometimes travel backwards to come forward. You can do it.

Yandy new chick on the block but behind the scenes.

Somaya this chick is off the chain all in her head. She has Mario from the SuperMario Bros as her manager. LOL Flush him down a sewer pipe.

Did Kimbella just sell herself? Was this an informercial? Something about her just doesn't seem right but we shall see.

Momma Jones is so serious. Jim is not a child anymore. Let him grow up and live his life. Be more supportive of his choice. Encourage family like you have taught Jim and embrace Chrissy. Why did she post it online for the world without even talking to her son or anything? WOW that's a bit much Momma Jones. You have to show and deserve respect to get it.

Kimbella has no class. She is an airhead...she almost slipped up regarding Fabulous. She knew Fabulous was with Emily, that's how she knew about the son and all that. There's a real reason why Chrissy and Kimbella have never hung out or become friends. Ok at Emily's party Kim looks sneaky. This bitch is a little weird and crazy....Why would you say that at this type of event? This was not the time or place. If this was between you and her then you should have taken her to the side at a later time without everyone else.

Chrissy is the realiest and the vocal one of them all. She's the voice of reason with a lot more bark and bite. She plays no games. Better to have her on your side then to be on the other side of her fist. LOL

Basketball Wives LA 11.14.11

Finale

JACKIE CHRISTIE IS OUT!!!









Kimsha is back, what? The real chick. Watch out Kimsha...Jackie is about to dig her claws in you too...LOL

Why does Jackie still want to talk about this issue? She harps on the same issues and never lets go which is how things got so twisted in the first place.

Gloria is so confused on her relationship with Matt. First it was lets fight for this and now you're ready to give up? Are you the one really scared of the relationship? You've had time in the last 5-6 years to figure out where you wanted to be with or without Matt. If Gloria says, "Boo" one more time.

Laura and Gloria are both on a basketball roller coaster across the United States. LOL
Doesn't Laura now sound like she's on medication that has calmed her down. No more aggression...

Here goes Jackie again. Shut-up already....Kimsha is so bored. Jackie needs that medication Laura is on. LOL

Gloria, are you and Matt not together or just getting space? You are too confused. Gloria needs to take what her sister said to heart. Men aren't groomed to grow up as fast as women do especially when it comes to marriage and a family. You knew what you were getting into before it got to this situation. You had a choice.

Draya is so innocent but the tail end of this whole friendship. Poor Draya

Does Jackie really want to make-up? Is Judgment day worth it? Who will truly be judged? That was a funny judgment. Jackie is not done yet. Reunion next week...see you there.

Real Housewives of Atlanta 11.13.11

Surprisingly Rich

Phaedra is crazy...what in the world does she know about funerals? The money is what's calling her not the appreciation for the dead. Willie Watkins watch out cause Phaedra is going for the gold as long as the insurance policy is in affect. LOL

Kim is so pregnant but happy. She has her young boy treating her how she could only imagine Big Poppa would have.

NeNe must be desparate for friends to befriend Kandi who she talked about like a dog. Cynthia is nothing but NeNe's pet. Cynthia stop cheering for NeNe, she does not need your pom-poms, she has her own. NeNe is not rich and name dropping is not being rich.

Look at Sheree warning her son about her own kind. Fast little girl playing the shy role, that's some B.S.

NeNe, are you really looking at an $9 million house? You're not that rich BITCH!!! Cynthia is an airhead model. Does she really believe that NeNe is really that big on money, stop lying to yourself and your friend.

Kandi you look good girl. Don't hide. I feel like NeNe invited Kandi to Miami for Cynthia and her amusement. NeNe weren't you a stripper? You act like a prude that has no idea what real sex is about. Cynthia stop acting like you can't talk about sex with your girlfriends just cause you married. Cynthia stop acting like your husband is going to know what you did in Miami with the girls.

Apollo isn't going for that dead stuff Phaedra. He is too pretty to get his hands dirty, stop playing.

Love that Kroy planned the surpise birthday party for Kim. She deserved for someone else to do something for her birthday instead of her doing it for herself. Great reserved gift. I think Kroy will settle Kim down and bring her back to reality with life and her kids. I really think he should have popped the question or something.

Kids are so funny....

Maybe Kroy will get on his knees next time...have to watch and see.

Braxton Family Values 11.10.11

R.E.S.P.E.C.T

Braxton Family album should be discussed but doesn't look promising. Tamar is selfish and full of herself.

Towanda being separated from Andre but allowing him to stay with her at Trina's home is false hope for the kids and Andre. Furthermore, you're not technically separated at this point. Andre is not a proud man just leeching and not even offering a dime. What proud man does that?

Tamar needs to mind her business. Toni has a right to a private life without sister meddling. Get your groove back Toni.

Trina is overboard. She needs to show Gabe a little more respect regardless of their past. If she didn't  want to be married to him anymore than why are they still married. Trina should have consulted with her husband before letting her sister into their home. Gabe seems like he really wants to work on the marriage but Trina still seems angry with resentment. Towanda is a great sister understanding the situation.

Tamar the reason your sisters think you're doing something behind their back is because that's exactly what you are doing. Momma Braxton didn't say anyone specific had an attitude, she was addressing everyone. Toni should have got her ass too regarding her solo project. Realize you are only hot off your sister TONI BRAXTON. No one else is hating on that fact but you. Tamar knew she was disrespectful to her mother. Come down off the pedestal Ta-Ta. Momma need to give you an old time back hand slap.

Sisterhood can be crazy but one of the best things in life. You always have a real friend no matter what obstacles you may go through as a family.

X Factor 11.10.11

Results Show

All acts are through except for Paula's two acts. Is this a reflection on Paula or what? The Stereo Hogzz have got to step it way up. This is their last chance to show what they have. Harmony is definitely needed from this group. Unfortunately, I believe their strongest link is the lead singer. LaKoda Rayne have been doing their thing up until now. They have finally found their nitch and they have what it takes to go further than their opponent/teammates.

This has to be the saddest elimination so far. Sorry Paula, I know you loved them both. Stereo Hogzz have more class than LaKoda Rayne but haven't shown the progress that LaKoda Rayne has shown. Better luck next time....

X Factor 11.9.11

Movie Night

Stacy Francis
Queen of the Night from The Body Guard

Stacy at 42 showed her vocal ability with this selection. The dance moves weren't needy and the leg spreading with the skirt was appalling. She has more class than that. L.A. Reid didn't want to give her props but he knew that she did better than he would have ever thought on this selection. I think she's the runner up in the 30 and over category. Do your thang Stacy....

Marcus Canty
I'm Going Down from Car Wash

Marcus is a want to be Usher. His vocals were not on point for this selection. He is too cocky, acting as if he already has this in the bag. Nicole seems to be nice to everyone giving the same criticism all around. Someone needs to break this dude down. L.A. Reid give him harder and better songs. If he's really the artist in your crystal ball, then challenge your artist. I agree with Simon, can he do anything different besides L.A. Reid's songs??? We shall see next time...

Drew
from You, Me and Dupree

First, what the hell did she have on? Can we say overly squirky...moving on to what's important. Nice vocal pitch throughout the song. Paula's right her dress didn't match the song selection. Simon, Lady Gaga's outfits match the song selections, Drew's does not. As her mentor, try guiding her in the right direction with, like you say, "the whole package."

LeRoy Bell
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For from The Runaway Bride

This man can SAANNNGGG....This younger artist should aspire to be like him. He has the total package even at his age. His age is the only thing that is not playing in his factor but if you didn't know his age you wouldn't know the difference. All of the judges finally gave him the props he deserved. LeRoy you ROCK!!!!

Lakoda Rayne
Somebody Like You from How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days

This group is trying to come together. It's like the finding of the Dixie Chicks. They sounded better and came together as a real group. Have they found their genre? Have they found their harmony? We shall see. This was their best performance yet but can they keep this going?

Astro
Lose Yourself from 8 Mile

This kid has it going on but I hope this doesn't go to his head. He is very talented. I think that it's wonderful that he can write his own lyrics each week. By writing his own lyrics he shows his versatility as an artist. He could be signed tomorrow and have songs ready to rock and roll. He's ready for the real thing. So who's going to sign him before the show is over?

Melanie Amaro
Man in the Mirror from This Is It

Sick or not, she handled that well. L.A. Reid is a hater. This is the singer to beat. She's versatile and has a range that most on the show cannot touch. She's angelic with each note. I hope she can just keep this streak going without the audience getting bored. So Simon as her mentor better step it up to the next level next week.

Stereo Hogzz
Ain't No Other Man from Get Smart

This group has a classic look but their lead singer is holding them together. L.A. Reid big time producer but you're not aware of the hits out there. WTF!!! I like this group but don't think they are going to last very long. I have to agree with Simon in the type of music they are performing. This group should have definitely stepped it up this week with a banging song. This is not a good look for this group unless someone else in the competition just does absolutely worse.

Josh Krajcik
With A Little Help From My Friends from Across the Universe

Is it just me or does the guy look like he's smiling through the aggressive parts of the song? OK the Cowardly Lion has a great voice but how many artist are already out like him? Do we need another? Let's see how far this humble man will go in this youthful competition. Love the voice with awesome control. But how many competitions are we going to have this same voice?


Chris Rene
Gangsta's Paradise from Dangerous Minds

This song and dance could seemed like a prank. Was this a real performance? If Nicole or Paula say how someones performance was "honest", I think I'm going to scream. I'm surprised at the judges on this performance. He's probably one of the weaker contestants in the competition. I'm happy he's been clean but this is not going to hold him down for much longer. So Chris I hope you weren't dependent on this to be your focus for staying clean.

Rachel Crow
I'd Rather Go Blind from Cadillac Records

Watch out Melanie Amaro this is your competition right here. Rachel has a voice that is a force to be reckoned with. She just brought the house down. The youngest contestant is the leading contender. Watch out everyone this is the one to beat right here. She picked her own song and she knew exactly what to do with it. Most would have said the song was too much for her but WOW....she owned it. Rachel Crow you are the X-Factor....





X Factor
