[santiagohdz1]

IUUUUUU CHRIS IS O

[melanielovesjustin12]

RACHEEEEL! ♥

[TheMagnificentTrio]

The only reason I watched The X Factor: Rachel Crow

[jussweetnsassy69]

Chris and Josh has life experiences which enhances their lyrical creativity......however, I understand that Melanie plays piano and also has some writing skills......so maybe the focus was on her god given talent.....VOICE!

[lakodarayneforever]

[blackamerican40]

Chris Rene does seem to grow on you. I am really impressed with his originality.

[trishbigfan100]

josh josh!

[Sunitamadan]

Chris is the only one reason I still watch the show

[anijijapan1975]

[DinaVee]

chris is overrated, the others are better!

[corat74]

CHRIS RENE!

[warface74]

josh the winner

[mindewpepsi]

Rachel Crow :)

[sunu121234]

How dare you are to say ''donot move''?we will move what will you do? Can't you say ''please'' infront of donot move...huh? Learn some manner steve jones....you are the worst host i have ever seen.......

[AlexDale96]

Chris Rene finalist!!!! :)

[euroviziune]

what a disaster



[stylus850]

I think Chris thought he was gonna be in the bottom 2, he prolly didnt like his performance on Michael Jackson week, but after this, I really believe he's the X factor winner of 2011.... He's touched millions of lives already.....that's what an inspiration does. Vocally he is ok....stage presence is great, and charisma is unmatched on the competition right now.

[laisreisalves]

Chris Rene is the best!

[ButtaBrwn81]

I so want Chris to win! Love Melanie...but he is so deep with his music.

[htg92]

Rachel crow is so cute!

[corat74]

Chris Rene

[kyawt4]

I know Melanie song is incredible, Rachel is cute and got talent, Josh can sing very well but I won't watch continue X factor if Chris is out.....Whenever he sing the song, it is really original, soulful and his song can connect to peoples..D:

[marimomusj]

I can be the new host!! Thumbs up if you want me!!!!

[nataly1998]

0:53 I have that shirt!! xD

[mindewpepsi]

Rachel Crow !

[hot49gal]

The host was like do not move, do not move!!!!

[huongvanphuong]

Chris Rene.

[12Sfamily]

What are Chris and Joh still doing here ???

[SangxNguyen]

Marcus or Josh

[karlheinz559]

chrissssssssssss reneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

[HIMYM35]

Chris deserves to win

[mp3dogisawesome]

OMG. The music in the beginning is so dramatic :D

[vidwath1998]

CHRIS RENE ONLY REASON I WATCHIN X FACTOR!

[cjuddy1000]

MELANIE AMARO!!

[arianaries123]

CHRIS RENE

[heyruthereforme12]

Whats the song name or orchestra in the Beginning ??

[hatesushi654]

For me it should be Chris, Melanie, Rachel and Josh in the Final :)

[TheVice1234]

@hatesushi654 It's a top 3 final. I'm sure Chris and Melanie are a lock. Any two of the rest could go home but I see Rachel in the final than any of the other two guys lol!

[LorThemarTheron]

JOSH KRAJCIK FOREVER!

[Shukween062005]

MARCUS!!!!



[vcbxo101]

CHRIS RENE!

[MrPuunk100]

Rachel reminds me of my little sis and I just love love love Melanie so I want 2 of them to be in the finals.

[MrPuunk100]

NO sob story = no Chris Rene... I bet he is thanking God for his drugs problems right now.

[CoolRay001]

god i HATE the host

[monalizza89]

CHRIS RENE's HOTTTT !!! ^^

[monalizza89]

i think for next season they have to change the host,,...

[Lanefair95]

Chris Rene how did he make it this far? He's terrible. Without a sobstory he adds nothing to the show.

[iREDxable]

Chris Rene isn't the best singer. Isn't the best rapper. Might not be your fave! HOWEVER! No matter whether he has a sob story or not, he has the charm, charisma and soul! JUST LOOK @ YOURSELVES AND THINK OVER WHETHER YOU ARE AS GOOD AS HIM. Haters, you've got to stop hating.

[allGlam713]

as long as ♥ CHRIS RENE ♥  is on the show im voting for him!!! and not bcuz of his story bcuz he is AMAZING !! VOICE, performer, CUTE, unique, LOVABLE the total package! so people saying its bcuz of his story....... GET-OVER-YOUR -LIFE.COM

[invisibleman275]

I really wish those that are voting for Chris for his story would stop. Top votes? Seriously? I seriously don't find him to be the most talented one up there.

[ryanlovesgod]

Rachel crow needs to go!! ASTRO should still be in this competition not here her performance was lousy and ASTRO's was amazing! #ASTROnauts

[Andrew300Humphrey]

Chris is overrated, his performances in the live shows have all sucked I think he needs to start singing some of his original songs or go home.

[lvlivemus]

@Andrew300Humphrey Dude he's in the top 5 because people all around the world love him

[linababymorelie]

@Andrew300Humphrey if it wasn't for the stupid themes, he would.

[you11114]

@Andrew300Humphrey I agree! he just has a great story. Thats all!!! Melani all the way!!!!

[MrPuunk100]

Rachel has an Accent too..been saying that from the start. She was like "LAVE YOU" to Melanie lool Cute.

[carolduartew]

chris... you deserve it

[dancinqn]

chris rene cannot sing for beans

[karlheinz559]

love ya chris....woooot



[200damary]

Chris sucks

[BEVERLYJOYCE1]

@200damary WOW ! DISAGREE ! I LOVE HIM !

[rocajoel92]

Nicole I recomend you to be a model after X factor because nobody will belive in you and buy your music, shame on you to send home Drew

[iftiaruddinmdbin]

This video is one of my favorite.. I love to see Chris Rene's expression when the host called his name..

[Nintenfan3424]

LOL at Nicole going CRAPPPP when Rachel was saved EPIC!

[monleo1705]

I keep looking at 1:51 and then 2:00 and then 1:51 and then 2:00...........and then 1:51 again and then 2:00 and smiling!!!

[Tiffany9152006]

@monleo1705 me too!!!!!!

[BEVERLYJOYCE1]

@monleo1705 OMG !!! THAT'S FUNNY . I've been doing the same thing ! I've got nothing done in my house today ! hehehe , vote crazy next week with friends and family !

[KingKuisma]

Chris Rene = Winner!! ( he can write,rap,and sing) Melanie = Good Voice (but nothing special) Rachel = Cute , Good singer (too young ) Marcus = Full package , could sell a lot of albums (but nothing out of the ordinary) Josh =Very evenly good (once again nothing out the ordinary theirs already singers like him) Astro = will have an amazing future brings hope to Hip Hop (even though some might not like his attitude) Drew=good , will have a future (Easy to market her) Thats my take on the singers

[fruitypebbles904]

@KingKuisma astro got signed to jay-z's record label

[yihuitionx]

OMG 2:00 IS PRECIOUS <333

[ckstar98]

@fruitypebbles904 CHRIS RENE FTW!!!

[nadira201111]

I fully respect if America kicks him out of the competition next week but I will definitely watch thexfactorusa as long as Chris Rene stays. I don't try to convince people why Chris Rene is better & I also don't want to be convinced that since he can't sing, he is not talented so that I should not vote for him anymore.You like your favorite and I like mine.

[HIMYM35]

@nadira201111 Agree,Chris is the best for me and no one can change my mind.You said it very well...

[corat74]

@nadira201111 I agree! Well said...

[10Rooooooooney]

guys,singers like Melanie are in every church and high school. Josh and Chris and Rachael are unique. Chris is a great songwriter too. listen to his original songs

[dacness]

Thumbs up if you want a new host next season...

[you11114]

@dacness absolutely!! this guy is pushing and rude!!!

[ptthebest25]

@dacness why?

[selinaaziz1]

We will see what happen next week but hey I can't wait to see my Homie this Wednesday :-)

[iftiaruddinmdbin]

@friutupebbles904 I couldn't have said it better way.

[MrPuunk100]

LOL I see the Chris Rene fans hating on the talented Artists of the competition...Okay if that makes yall feel better then why not? he will still be the untalented contestant with the sad drug story to everyone. *shrugs*

[sarjan57]

@MrPuunk100 can't agree more

[MrPuunk100]

LMAO simon is smiling at Chris like 'yea...u r getting voted off next week...no biggie"! The save first curse ahaha...happened to drew n others..saved first last week went home this week.

[MrPuunk100]

Hating on Melanie wont make your favorite contestant any better...just saying. It is Not her fault she is the best and most of the others just cant keep up. Melanie, Rachel n Josh should be top 3.

[fruitypebbles904]

gotta love how this isnt a video about only chris rene, but a video about ALL the contestants, yet Chris Rene still manages to be in at least 2 comments on every page in the comments followed by things like hearts, youre the best, etc. this guy has FANS!

[22am11]

she was trying to grab him for a hug and he didn't notice.

[purple1568]

I hate when people complain that Drew kept doing the same thing. THAT IS HER STYLE. No one complains that all Astro did was rap. Why? Because he's a rapper. And Drew always did the same style because that is the genre that she does!

[1981Galadriel]

@purple1568 The other judges weren't wanting her to change genres. They simply wanted the occasional UPBEAT, UPLIFTING song. Drew has been compared to Sarah McLachlan, Delores O'Riordan, Alanis even Tori Amos. ALL of these ladies do beautiful ballads, but they DO have uptempo songs on their albums as well, and some of those songs have been their biggest hits. Rap is an actual genre in itself, ballads are only one part of a genre. That is the difference.

[rb02s]

Drew isn't mature enough or emotionally ready for the music business yet. She looked like she wanted to off someone on 12/1. I noticed she pushed Marcus off to the other side of the host too, awful. Was waiting for her to fistfight with someone. Can't judge a book by it's cover.

[pencilfishy]

@rb02s Did you notice that too? I'm not sure if she really meant to push him off like that. It looked uncool, though.

[iftiaruddinmdbin]

@rb02s I think she was trying to hug him, Marcus diidn't notice. But you are right. It looked she pushed him off..

[texashawke]

Xfactor represents that unique quality that separates an entertainer from a star. I see repetitive comments on Drew sings good, Melanie sings good, Rachel sings. The truth is everyone that made it to bootcamp could sing. What makes them unique? This week's challenge proves a point, even the stronger contenders did not shine. MJ had the factor that made him unique. The contestant's homage to him was respectful at best, however when the cameras cut into MJ's kids reactions they were bored at best.

[samrithsuong]

I love all Melanie's performances, great

[KierTheGreat]

this is waht i have told everybody...drew is becoming very boring, always same style and not going out from her comfort zone.

[MrPuunk100]

Melanie >>>>>>>>>> All the others. Little second is second for me. Melanie and Rachel should be in the top 2. Damn Im so happy the annoying acts went home. Now get rid of Chris *untalented* Rene n the show will be perfect.

[tw1l1ghtrocks7]

Rachel Crow, Chris Rene and Josh are my favorites, I still can't believe Drew got sent home last night. But She'll Probably get a record deal soon!

[aldous2983]

drew is so great

[camyen39]

Chris Rene..... UHHHHGGGGG!!!!

[JPNS100]

Why is chris rene still here... i like him but i think he is only still on the show because of his story...

[corat74]

At 1:149 when they called CHRIS RENE the judges looks so happy...because he's such a genuine and humble and he has the X FACTOR. He deserves to WIN, go CHRIS RENE we love you!

[monleo1705]

@corat74 I think they were also laughing becos of Chris's reaction. He looked so genuinely surprised himself that he got through! LOL! YOU DESERVE IT CHRIS!! Even the judges think you deserve it! You have an ARMY behind you! <3

[BEVERLYJOYCE1]

@corat74 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT HONEY !!! VOTE CRAZY NEXT WEEK !!!! THE WHOLE 2 HOURS ! HE IS WORTH IT !

[you11114]

@corat74 Melani Will win. I am sorry! 

[corat74]

@you11114 Its alright! for me CHRIS RENE will win.

[Ainzho]

@corat74 meh, not really, America loves sob stories, and that's why Chris is still here

[corat74]

@Ainzho Everyone has his own opinion and i respect that! I voted CHRIS RENE not because of his sob stories. But because for me he has THE X FACTOR.

[allGlam713]

@corat74

 EXACTLY

[Ainzho]

@corat74 yeah, and the sob stories.

[444myangels]

@corat74 Don't think Chris is that good (vocals) but I do like him and his face when they called his name was really cute! Love Melanie's voice!

[aveerry]

@corat74 your the 90% of america that only likes chris rene because of his sob story, to be honest he doesnt have any talent you just feel sorry for him.

[corat74]

@aveerry If is that your opinion i respect you! But for me CHRIS IS THE BEST.

[wasteuk]

@corat74 why does he deserve to win? because he's a smack head?

[corat74]

@wasteuk no need to aswer your question...for me all i know CHRIS is D'best...thanks

[corat74]

CHRIS RENE D'BEST

[bird2226]

Chris Rene is the most talented and original. All the way, local homie.

[TheVice1234]

Every other contestants fans feel threatened by Chris and want to convince themselves that everyone can sing better than him. I guess Josh sang "YOUNG HOMMIE" for him during his audition lol! Not everyone will like Chris but these comments really sound painful. It'slike your lives depend on Chris' elimination.

[ashgober]

@linababymorelie You must be a Chris Rene fan. Well get over it! I'll do what I want ;)

[TheVice1234]

LMAOOO! Now that Astro is gone, Josh's fans have taken over Chris videos! Why do you guys even think Josh is Chris' competition? They are nothing alike lol! Josh is like any WGWG out there and I assure you he's not gonna win. Ther's nothing screaming "star" about him and that's what Xfactor is about. A good voice is just not enough.

What you guys don't get is that, Chris has really connected with the viewers because of "young hommie" and they get the fact that covering others songs is not him.

[misslevsz]

@TheVice1234 he hasnt got just "a good voice" he has a superb voice. his voice is by far one of the top 3 in the contest.

[Natashaa097]

Most of us chris rene fans have been fans since his audition. He clearly has talent and very popular as he has 10milliom his with his audition. He can sing and rap and has the entire package. Most of us have fallen in lobe with him because he's genuine and humble and he has the x factor. He deserves to win, go chris rene!

[loubna1111]

I loOOOOOOOve Chris Rene SONGS

we voted like crazy me and my friends in France on twitter.

♥♥ LOVE LIFE ARMY ♥♥ALL OVER THE WORLD!!

All The Way To The FINAL!!

[sant11207]

chris rene needs to go, no vocals

[ashgober]

All I know is that I need to vote twice as hard with 10x's as many people bc the Chris Rene fans are coo coo and even though his vocals suck he could win the competition bc his fans are delirious.

[linababymorelie]

@ashgober stop spamming videos with the same comment.

[linababymorelie]

singing for survival is stupid

[ashgober]

@fruitypebbles904 I totally agree with you; you are 100% correct. I think he should do all of that, however he does not have the vocals for the show. But, he has a career after this. I think he should make music for other artist; that would be phenomenal.

[xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx]

vote for chris now that drew is gone..

[chemick13]

@xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx spoiler --'

[BEVERLYJOYCE1]

@xxY2JLEDGENDKILLERxx HE** YES !!!!
