The X Factor

Last night was a very dramatic night on the X Factor.  It was a night of a lot of tension, joy and disappointment.  That said people need to understand that this is a competition and there can only be one winner and for that to happen some people are going to have to go home.  After Wednesday night’s performances  America voted; Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene were sent through leaving Marcus Canty and Rachael Crow in the bottom two.  The two sang their hearts out for survival making it hard for the judges to choose as they both did so well.  Needless to say this resulted in a deadlock, leaving the final decision with America and how they voted.  As it turned out Rachael Crow received the least votes and the poor girl was completely devastated.  She broke down in tears and fell to the floor.  Nicole too appeared upset and in tears.

USA X Factor 13yr old Rachel voted out

Marcus Canty miraculously survived three weeks of being in the bottom two and will go on to the semi-finals.  Fans of Rachael are blaming Nicole for Rachael being sent home.  These fans need to be realistic; they had the opportunity to vote to keep her in the competition, they obviously did not make use of the chance and by not voting they are the ones responsible for her going home and not Nicole!  But then I guess it is easier to put the blame on someone else!

The X Factor Top 5

Last night  saw each contestant on the X Factor performing two songs, one of which they had only twenty-four hours to prepare for.  There was nothing really spectacular about last night’s performances.  The contestants more or less held their own.  My top picks of the night  are Melanie Amaro followed by Josh Krajcik.  Rachael Crow is still very much in the competition.  The two contestants who I believe will be in the bottom two are Chris Rene and Marcus Canty.  Marcus Canty is a great singer but he has so far been unable to get the votes of America.  He has been in the bottom two twice and there is the possibility that if he finds himself once more in the bottom two, he is going to go home tonight.
