Has anyone been watching X Factor USA this year? well if not let me give you a quick recap. They are offering a $5 million recording contract to the winner. The show is open to any age. One of top contenstants this year that made the top 10 was 59 years old. We are not at the top 5. We have 5 contestants left as follows:
Melanie Amaro,18 Years Old. She seems to have the best shot at winning cureently, with her power diva vocals. She has taken on songs from Whitney Houston to Celine Dion to Adele, which is not an easy task
Chris Rene – He impressed the judges initially by doing a hip hop orginal song called “Young Hommie.” He has a drug abuse background and has been in rehab. About 3-4 months clean now. His vocals are not the best compared to others. However, his got the atitude and looks for a recodring artist.
Rachel Crow, only 12 years old. She wowed the judges with her mega vocals and has wowed the audience as well. She might be alittle too young for a recoding career, but she definitly has a very bright future.
Marcus Canty – An African-American contestant with vocals that resemble Bobby Brown and Usher. He also has good sstage presense and dance moves.
Josh Krajcik – This 30-year-old is the oldest left in the contest. He has good grungy vocals good for Rock music. He took on a Foo Fighters song a few weeks ago when it was rock night and killed the competition. his day job is flipping burgers and he has a young doughter.
At the moment it is hard to tell who would win. Marcus Canty has been in bottom two twice and might be the first to go. For the rest I would say they have abouty equal shot at winning, but most likley to win based on vocals would be Melanie Amaro.
