[stnomura23]

[golo1955]

There has never been a singer as good as Melanie in any competition show ever.

She is out of anyone league.

[panchez1995]

305 are fucking crazy they don't deserve to live in this planet

[105errl]

[pattylovecalitos]

[MizuNotes]

mariah carey probably votes a million times for this girl

and she deserves them ALL.

[nakanakamaiko]

すごい（￣□￣；）！！

[temptasiianxx]

That last note changed her life forever. Shit if that didnt help her win, then I dont know what will. :)

[ba4774]

There were so many places in that song that could have gone wrong but she was right on all the way through - she is a singer.

[coziestvirus8]

that last note, only a true singer can make that last note. absolutely stunningly amazing!!!

[good12578]

I just wanted to remind people that she is the best in xfactor that eve graced the stage. Shes even better than LEONA LEWIS. She can be a superrrrr starrrr! that high note showed she is a world class singer!!!

[Fanfil1]

he obviously stole the song from ronan parke in britain's got talent -.-

[colincarneystudios]

@Fanfil1 What are you talking about? This is a VERY popular song. Simon knew this song way before Ronan Park.

[badshitcrazy1]

shit you're freakin fantastic

[ilikewiigames]

Adam Lambert was better :P

[AznBMan75]

@ilikewiigames

Because you're G!

[prmike22]

@ilikewiigames What does Adam lambert have anything to do with Melanie Amaro, absolutely nothing and they were on two different shows!

[ilikewiigames]

@prmike22 I know lolz. I love both singers they are great! But I've yet to hear someone sing "Feeling Good" better than Adam Lambert :D. No hate. :P

[Z2inab]

GOGOGOGO

MElanie!!

[NioAraki]

so powerful....gd luck..

[kaylonmitchell14]

Mariah, just by knowing the person that she is, would be like "ugh i hate her, shes like me so Im back in the studio so Melanie wont take over!" lol That tweet was a msg to Mel for to watch herself ;p

[mariossbbfan1]

Mariah Carey's so nice.I can't believe she actually tweeted Melanie.

[wearecity]

This is her best performance because it was a complete change of style and a difficult song to sing and she sung it her way.

[123PEACHERSABLE]

you are a good role model

[nspgize]

Wow some people are seriously HURTING really BAD, seems like they are still TORN UP over the success Melanie is having. YOU GO GIRL. I am sure they will GET OVER IT in time - But right now it';s Superbowl commercial time for Team-Melanie! Oh Yeah

[ba4774]

@nspgize I agree. At this point it's hard not to feel sorry for them that after a month, they are still angry and sad. That is no way to live.

[nspgize]

What an unbelievable performance TOTALLY AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your GIFT with us Melanie

[Elana92]

She has the voice, not the X factor.

[maldobostero12]

@Elana92 Then what is the x factor?

[Elana92]

@maldobostero12 Having something extra special that doesn't involve the voice.

[Elana92]

that.note.

[rtur85]

Finally found it, amazing, the best

[dreamyprettyangel]

Woah....

[rivershoman1]

Define "ENTERTAINMENT" on this song, HOW IN THE HELL YOU WOULD ENTERTAIN WITH THIS AMAZING SONG?!?

THIS IS A HARD SONG, not something like "Young Homie" or "Where do we" this is a REAL SING not some ssssssssssshitty song singing by a bad singer aka Chris Re-Shit!!! LOL....

Melanie = Amazing!!

[lovecoolcrazy1]

love her cried wen she won

[imlieing007]

She is great singer, just dont find her entertaining...

[Gr33dYBaStArDo]

Wow..I felt as if electricity went through me when I heard her voice at the high tones..god damn,that's a job well done!

[danielneffi93]

i want to fuck the shit out of her ;)

[Taurolee]

Can sung but not a favorite

[121212cfm]

melaine you are a great singer

[rivershoman1]

She is just AMAZING!!

[MrJazzadicto]

Feeling good by michael buble? Are younfucking kiddin

[demiiLnumber1fan]

holy shit, the end!

[cparente1]

How could sumbody ever dislike this? Cmon guys

[laurenxuereb86]

lmao @ the michael buble part... really?

[TheWhitelighter19]

"Feeling Good" by Michael Buble? WTF!?

[colincarneystudios]

@TheWhitelighter19 LOL THEY CHANGED THE DESCRIPTION!

[mirandaadria]

@TheWhitelighter19 Actually... "Feeling Good" was COVERED by Michael Buble. The original is by Cy Grant, and it was done in 1965.

[cerculpatrat]

@TheXFactorUSA "Feeling Good" by Michael Buble??

[dennistaylork]

I hate LA such a DICK! She is amazing no matter what song she sings!

[MrNunu001]

at 4:32 simion was about to sit down lol

[laan484]

omg!! she is fantastic!!! i love her voice!!

[joniksud]

"YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING!" L.A.

[RhedRhyNo]

This was a great performance!!! Hands down deserved to WIN!

[kdw187]

she has a good voice to win a competition but not good enough to sell records. Josh is better suited for instant stardom. Sorry but singers like her are a dime a dozen same ole same ole !!!!!!

[marvelheaven]

good job for simon to switch up her style! :D dang that last note kill me everytime i listen lolz and i love it

[temptasiianxx]

I'm FEELING GOOD watching this video again knowing she've won :)

[drpr1221]

she's good, i can't wait till they work with her a little more cuz she can use help with her vocal control. she ended the song with a bang though. all i was a little "wtf?" about was when Simon was giving her criticism and she just dismissed it to point something out for LA Reid. lol. rude ass.

[Auunty42]

she looks like jordin sparks!

[aisha11ful]

sorry but chris cannot sing,josh is boring the right person won

[euqud9]

@aisha11ful Melanie has a great voice, but come on Josh boring?? It is one of the best voices I have ever heard in a talent show. Will see who has a better career, I hope they both have success, but i honestly think Josh has more chances because his unique. I personally like both of them.

[swede1one]

@euqud9 Mel does have a fabulous voice instrument. Amazing gift .She is a very sweet girl but where's the Xfactor? She is young and will get better. Josh is unique and genuine with spectacular voice and musical artistry. Even thou they are much older, Josh and Chris will be more successful recording Artists because of their uniqueness and song writing ability. Historically the 2nd and 3rd place finishers have been more successful time after time and history will repeat itself again

[7829mk]

@swede1one No way did you hear her voice - her range and power was so much more than the others. Her pure voice is going to take her on a long and successful musical career. He can sing anything! - the other two are locked into a specific genre. That's the difference - she can sing old and new and do it better than just about anybody else. She is only going to get better. The others will do well, but not as well as Melanie.

[CynthiaftMJ]

Not trying to be rude here I know she has a beautiful voice its amazing how she makes it look easy, but she just stands there and sing she is not like Chris Rene or Josh that is real talent.. I can imagine her singing another rhythm song she is just more like a great voice and that's it.

[Blablagurl100]

last part BEST EVER!

[temptasiianxx]

Simon knows that she has The X Factor, even America realizes that and voted for her. And that's why she's won... nuff said.

[tyler114050]

chris rene was better

[moddsim566]

@tyler114050 Da fuck troll?

[IsabelleRivera1]

@tyler114050 Lol Chris was awful.

[fancynancyjw]

Melanie, take the makeup artist and hair stylist with you. You look fantastic and with the tremendous voice...wow...

[Yoelkiller]

You know what? she is only 18 right??? sometimes is not only her blessing from God, is a blessing for her mother and father, they did something good before, now God is giving them the oportunity of a better life through their now grown up little girl!

[roryyooooo]

She has an AMAZING voice.

[User123788]

@roryyooooo Define "amazing". Do you mean on a technical level? Because on a technical level she has the potential to be a good vocalist, but has very little control.

[emanele810]

that was just amazing

[nowuptonewway]

i watched the whole song shivering!!! this girl rocks!

[MrPinklady2010]

chris rene not her

[taylor26101]

She just kept getting better and better and that last note was amazing,

[CheesyYellowCrumbles]

I hate how L.A trash talks her..

[ba4774]

@CheesyYellowCrumbles I think he felt it was "his job" to only support his guys. I'd much rather they try to be objective - Nicole still had someone in the race and managed to say great things. Simon was good to Chris.

[user190295]

The last note gives me goosebumps all the time!!! :)

[MelanieAmaroLover14]

LUV U MELANIE AMARO U THE BEST EVA!!!!!! Like if u agree!!!

[71Bray71]

If don't like this!!! You're fags!!! Motherfuckers!!! Melanie Amaro the best singer in the competition!!!! Are you jealous of her?? She is perfect singer!!!! !! I like so much!! I hope her record of the 2012 year!

[Pyratez05]

LOL, Nicole at 05:10, "It's a loo life"

[freemille1]

essa musica original de nina simone tbinterpretada por ronan parke um garoto se apresentou no britan idol.talents

[zonk2015]

how is it even possible to dislike this?!?!?! there shouldnt even be a dislike button on any of her videos. she the BEST singer EVER!

[TOLN38]

Yo Melanie is a good and very talented girl, but what happened to the happy Melanie? @0:45-0:47 to see what I mean. :)

[taylor26101]

@TOLN38 i believe that was taped after she was sent home and just before simon came to save her, she was told they need some finishing film to rap up her x factor run, that was why her family was all there and to make sure she would be home as well. she was home over two weeks before Simon came to get her

[TOLN38]

@taylor26101 Well We don't know that for sure...but, in my own impression is either she's becoming a "DIVA" or can't Handle Stress!! :/ but big Congrats to her and her family that she won the xFactor...!!Gblzz

[TmHj011]

That last note! :-O WOW!

[2011MRVEGA]

shes 30 pounds away from being the hottest female performer ever, you know your all thinking it

[kokorolicinha]

Melanie has an amazing voice but she doesn't have Chris rene's ability or personality. But I like her too:)

[canossful]

287 cant hit that note hahaha.!

[eric101893]

Well I heard the style of the song was similar to Michael Buble's take, but I think it sounds like the normal version. But nevertheless, I heard this is in fact based on Buble's version. Still, I think it shouldn't say "by Michael Buble" because the song was never "by" him. This performance is amazing though.

[damackofemall]

ANYONE DAT HATE ON A 19 YEAR OLD WHO NEVA HAD VOCAL LESSONS IS A BIOTCHHHHH

[alexian88]

gotta love the ending



[Lemuond]

Melanie, toi, tu es une vraiment exceptionnelle chanteuse. Quand tu chantes, cela me donne la chair de poule. Je me réjouis de ta victoire. Tu as reçu ce que tu méritais. Je t'aime :)

[dis1ladie]

awesome!!! Love this girl!

[Jon90029]

at 3:19, she looks like Maya Rudolph :) Love You Melanie. 

[willardrmiller]

ha ha should be 1 word ..four octaves

[TheMielz]

@willardrmiller LMAO

[willardrmiller]

1 song 4 octaves..................... amazing

[heffty5]

That note is why she won

[lozanohater]

Amazing! That's why she won!!! PS. "Feeling good" original was by Nina Simone!

[ThatFunnyKid25]

that last note=instant goosebumps

[MrLmaciass]

Awesome!! Like someone said, that last high note just sealed the thing. Done.

[1009703]

I love how the description says "Feeling Good" by Michael Buble... When the original was by Nina Simone:/ #GetItRightPeople!

[valicia323]

1 word, 3 syllables: A.maz.ing

[domcarrero0]

4:20 sealed the win.

[teresita1007]

That last note in Feeling Good won her this competition. In fact she and Josh were the only ones consistent thruout the competition. But when Melanie hit that high note, everyone else was done!

[asrafization]

Yeah what note was the last note?

[abraham0joseph]

what note was the last note?

[kalakalachuchu]

@abraham0joseph c#6

[QueenyKay]

That was my favorite performance from Melanie!

[AnthBalce]

and to think she might not have been in the competition... wow

[jmavondet]

Uhhhhh I enjoy this song, and this version was great. But not a big fan of her style of singing, however that last note was just awesome....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[abraham0joseph]

shut up meg..i mean nicole

[chuckv5150]

@2:35 wow those gorgeous eyes and lips. She is hot!!! Oh and she can sing a little too. lol.

[SongWritePro]

My favorite part is 4:17-4:24 ;)

[Angelicaliciousful]

I love her accent! she didn't have to hide it!

[mt00042]

Melanie Amaro performs "Feeling Good" by Michael Buble? Umm Nina Simone?!

[the1mstracey]

@mt00042 I was just thinking that. Michael Buble is NOT the original singer!

[Jijimon90]

@mt00042 hope you know nina simone covered this song from the musical the roar of the greasepaint...

[trentnjones]

@mt00042 this isn't a Nina Simone original. It was first performed by Cy Grant.

[Gabegs]

I have been reading posts, sorry it was not fair. When someone stays voteing for hours, come on. That is not a true vote.

[biologist2wildlife]

@Gabegs One reason I stopped voting is because I can't put that much time into it. And since people have unlimited voting, my votes really don't mean much. Now, Dancing with the Stars limits the votes per phone, which makes for more fair voting. Though if someone wanted to up their votes, they could go around the neighborhood and borrow phones, but that would be extreme. I wish Fox would change the voting system for all the shows on that station. Thanks for mentioning this issue.

[taylor26101]

@Gabegs i agree but you have to vote like that for your favorite or they will be eliminated, I read that a Josh fan had 12 twitter accounts just so she could vote 600 times on line. The way to fix all of this is to charge for each vote

[mrdylantan]

That's it, its on my itunes repeat now.

[kevinleejj1]

my com screen almost cracked on the last note

[oOoDeXoNoOo]

Am i the only one who thinks this sounds like a James Bond song?

[cmkcmk96]

This shud have more views..

[csavargo23]

This is PERFEKT!

[SongWritePro]

Imjenjoseph same it's hard but I got 2 years cause a reason. But I want them to be proud. And live the life I'm suppose to. to know it and love it!

[PinkkBoww]

this is for all of you out there that are saying melanie's not gonna get anywhere and be a failure! she won because many more people voted for her, and they voted because they did NOT think that shes not gonna go anywhere! melanie is amazing, so you haters stop hatin!

[MEWANTCOOKIES1]

HaHa Nicole said ''Lew Life'' instead of ''New Life''

Love Melanie!!!!

[garyrhyne65]

Awesome performance !;Especially when she hit that high note at the end ;I was like OMG,this girl is Da BOMB !
