Christa Collins - Judges' Houses Performance - THE X FACTOR 2011

[mehopyapa]

this is one of the reasons why Nicole got fired from X, FOR NOT PICKING HER! (What the hell was she thinking?, Simon already said "he likes her" and so did Enrique.) Oh well, I guess she'll be watching this seasons X Factor like the rest of us from her couch.

[leema2100]

"i would like to see a little bit more of pain and emotion behind the lyrics"? seriously, if you don't know what to say as a judge then be silent! nicole is like the talentless government and just don't speak for talents like Christa.

[skamalion10]

i hate nicole

[sw33trobby]

i wish she recorded this

[TamaraLyynn]

@sw33trobby she did :)

[landeros209]

Enrique @ 3:35 "Bitch dont be jealous" ...u can tell he didnt agree with that spoiled nicole

[gleestory]

WHy didnt she make it

[Enigmaacx]

Go to sucess Christa, because it's waiting you!

[gleestory]

wow shes great i love from 2:10 on amazing

[JakeLeMaster]

Would plow with the force of a thousand locomotives.

[Oxxnalf]

@JakeLeMaster Jake, you are such a puss. Just a puss.

[JakeLeMaster]

@Oxxnalf I'm a puss because I want to fuck the shit out of her? You're not very bright, are you?

[AaronDono1]

1:24 FREE REPLAY BUTTON!

[rickyiglesias98]

3:14...ENRIQUE I LOVE YOU...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

[rickyiglesias98]

1:53 he is so sweet ...i love you Enrique<3

[COTEncisFAN1]

I like her voice!

[SUCMADIC1000]

i wish they would stop singing radiohead on all the x-factors around the world now, they are ruining their songs, however, this perform was pretty good except for the terrible backing track. just stick to shitting pop songs please, you can't make them any whose than they already are

[trumpetzzz]

she is really nice... honestly, if simon in the over 30's category, she will make it through instead of dexter.. what a shame...

[moanmassacre]

Hahaha are you joking me, how could Nicole have wanted to see MORE emotion of all things? This was easily the most emotional performance of the season, what a ridiculous comment to make...

[Yuetback]

Amo esta cancion y mas como interpreta esta chava me gustaria tener esta cancion completa interpretada por ella por que la neta te mueve cada fibra de la piel ademas de la interpretacion tan buena............

[AaronDono1]

what is the name of this song??

[ChristaCollinsMusic]

Hi @AaronDono1, the song is called No Surprises and I just released it as a single on iTunes. Find it here: itunes.apple.com/us/album/no-s­urprises-single/id492291589

[AaronDono1]

@ChristaCollinsMusic i bought it on itunes...your awesome

[MaddieSW]

i'm sure nicole didn't vote her in because she noticed that enrique likes her? well it's impossible not to like her. seriously, amazzzinnnnnng.

[stephy501808]

Sorry for the lovers.But she dress herself like a h**ker.Sorry.

[alcornoke16]

I want to hear her again!! :3

[jaimito2308]

WTF?? SHE DIDN'T GET THROUGH??? WTF???

[dende35]

She was stopped with the disney thing because when she was on tour in Australia her mother died in a car accident.... I cried while she was singing this sung damn....

[BRIANHG12]

i really like this song and when i hear the original from radiohead i really miss the part: THIS IS MY FINAL FIT, MY FINAL BELLYACHE..., i honestly like way more christa's version

[takumi143gii]

She's so great!!! Love lots frm ur fans here in JAPAN...

[MrChibi59]

when Christa sang her last word here, im so surprised that the one word there was not enough emotions for Nicole

[jhenschel10]

60 people love surprises

[kawaiifoxbabe300]

My name is Christa XD I melted when Simon said my name.

[brunetteDUH]

from all the contestants in nicoles group-enrique only said really great things about Christa and i cant believe nicole didnt listen to him! so stupid.

[ChristaCollinsMusic]

Happy New Year everyone!! Many of you have been asking for this, we are glad to start the new year and end the last with the release of my version of NO SURPRISES available now on iTunes: itunes.apple.com/us/artist/chr­ista-collins/id492291590

Thank you for all your support! xxCC

[AliceIsabellaP]

@ChristaCollinsMusic Happy New Year to you too Christa!! yay I'm so happy you could finally release this song :D HUGS FROM MEXICO

[10ehcbmpw]

Hope she comes back next season:)

[TheGiverOfDarkness22]

She can sing, obviously she isnt a church singer. Because before they decided to give her church type of songs she was amazing. The gave her church songs and she fell down and wasn't as good soo

[IQEllis]

Hopefully she'll return next year and that stupid bitch Nicole won't return!

[thekizzbizz]

nicole thinks this was a charity not a competition... if christa would have been with any other judge it woulda been her and rachel in the final two. she changed fate

[jahairakaulitz]

wow she is just amazing

[DJIvanPang]

shud come back

[requiemDASH]

She's looking for a part of herself that she'd lost a decade and a half ago.

I can't believe Nicole wanted to see more pain. Christa was practically laid open emotionally while singing.

[maluuuka]

Enrique's face at 1:54 is priceless

[bushrahussein]

Every time enrique smiles I blush hehe

[maluuuka]

@bushrahussein omg he is a piece of heaven...the face he makes at 1:54 is awesome

[heyricosuave]

She got eliminated over Dexter.....Nicole please just eliminate yourself by next season. She is one of the worst judges in any talent competition.

[kikilala0408]

I love her!!!

[MrDarn888]

I would have really enjoyed seeing Christa on X factor! How Nicoles decision process chose Dexter over Christa is absolutely ridiculous. It tells me that Nicole is way over head on judging talent. I dont think Nicole understands how to be a judge of vocal talent. I give Nicole a D-

[GeorgieSLim]

hope christa will join next year audition

[othfan96]

Ok, I so love her singing, but to be completely honest, I'm just too into Enrique to completely focus! hehe ;) He's so adorable! <3

[igorkcomanche]

great song, and great interpretation...

[SamoryBailey1]

Its kinda like the ones that didn't make were better than the ones that did. I hope she can audition again next year.

[Rama07H]

Nicole says she would've liked to see more emotion. srsly Nicole? Christa put out her heart and soul in this song and she even sang it better than Radiohead!

[gabomonte2008]

she and stacy are the best..... ella debio haber pasado!

[kennyarndt]

how is it that I can't download an Itunes song of hers? Bumme!!

[spellsofsecrey]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooove­ this aaaaaaaaaaa lotttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­ttttttttttttttttt

[techfreak47]

She should've gone through the finals instead of Dexter or Stacy !!

[IAmTheNoodleFish]

I'm never going to forget she exists. She'll always hold a special place in my ears.

[elitestar]

she would've been one of the finalists had she been chosen. such a shame.

[aeroscotia]

Nicole Sherzinger. Scratch the surface and all you find is more surface. She's fit to judge nothing. She's a vacuum.

[SmileyApple33]

enrique. OMG ILOVEE YOUUU

[prochristopher]

I'm responsible for a good 100 views. Nicole is clearly not a qualified judge. I <3 Christa.

[dannevigo]

Christina PLEASE Dont give up..... you are fantastic....i`ll buy any cd you make...

[Snafu2346]

I'm still trying to figure out how she didn't get in the live shows and Dexter did.

[TheMauriciorony]

CHRISTA greetings from Colombia ...I would like that you arrive to my country ...you can stay on my home ...lol...there are many people that realized your talent on my country thanks to YOUTUBE and of course, to ME .... come to my country

[jrtiger34]

enrique should be judging nxt time!

[rupatg69]

Hnrique looks like he wants to punch her in the face 3:34 ...her comments are stupid

[luisdarkangel]

@bandkae you obviously have no sense of radiohead similarly to people who thumbed up your idiotic comment. And i am no troll just being honest. Nicole was correct. Maybe if you actually listen to the song you would understand. Nice voice but did not convey the emotions of the songs.

[Bandkae]

@luisdarkangel ah ok so if Christa collins should pass her test to become a pro singer like Rihana she must first do perfect cover thats completely like the original.

The Radiohead version s different than Christa Collins version here, Christa version reminds me of the singer of music behind pleasantville, still lots of sadness Christa Colllins did it her Way but that doesnt mean she should pass the test its really about if she performed this well or not, compare to other contestors

[MyTMusic]

Hey guys this is not the last you will hear from such a great singer, if you want more then subscribe to her channcel. She has annoucned she would have this songe studio recorded soon, search christa collins

[ltj6197]

I am still sad that Christa didn't make it. She is talented and clearly Enrique saw it and Nicole was envious of her. Christa put her heart and soul into that song and it sounded better than Radiohead's version. I really hope Christa makes it big. Enrique please refer a label to Christa.

[imovecusic12]

@ltj6197 nothing sounds better than radioheads version. NOTHING. other than that, yes she is a good singer.

[HearMeRora]

I hope they have a wild card episode and they bring her back!!! She was PHENOMENAL!

[zotek1000]

suck nicole! she is good.

[kaylonmitchell14]

nicole's thoughts in her head...omg she could be a better singer and dancer then me if i let her go through......lol & her smile at christa when she told her story she was like "uh huh yea.....idc" lol

[kaylonmitchell14]

i would so buy this song in itunes! ugh nicole you jealous hoe! ;p

[hadadon44]

shame..



[IronCatWoman]

ya.. shame that didn't put her thru live show. ....:(

[Glariott]

Wow Nicole.. that's like saying "I would have liked to see a bit more motion" about Micheal Jackson.

[mysticfoghorn]

nothing like Christina, closer to Brit, but if you have seen her live, they are both off pitch.... this one is freaky weird ........ judges looked like they were forcing the politeness... looks like she's gonna' have a nervous breakdown too...

[kicksallstar]

I don't like this one but she is good

[afordan]

mesmerizing

[zanrain]

if enrique was the judge instead,she would have made it to the live shows....

[fjsg77]

great interpretation !!! I think nicole did not understand the painfull smile in the middle of the  song.

[oxfordyes]

57 persons are Nicole hitting 57 times the "don't like" button

[jojoandjenna]

@oxfordyes its people go back to school buddy

[oxfordyes]

OMG!!.. just look at this giril!!!!!...she's already a star!!!!

Nicole is sooooo blind!.

Damn!!. Why the hell she didn't pick her??? She is better than Dexter!! and even than Lorey!!!!

[AliceIsabellaP]

Christa, I love you! you inspire me. I can't stop listening to this song

[tomytiming]

I hope you read this Nicole... Christa really REALLY deserved to be in the best 16 and you took that chance away from her. I don't why you did that but it will remain in your conscience for the rest of your life, I wish.

[musicismylife12223]

Is it just me or at 2:34 Enrique is blinking back tears?

[Nicool658]

With that type of voice, Christa can not only mesmerize a person but also can seduce all that will listen to her..

[minombreespamelamich]

JESUS CHRIST!!!! When Enrique appeared I swear I had a mini heart attack

[KasiaGliwski]

She should have made the top 16!!!!! She's better than Tiah Tolliver and Simone Battle!!!!

[ToniKeir]

Christa sings too much better than Nicole. I hate Nicole. Nicole should just dance, not judge, she's horrible.

[ToniKeir]

Christa and Tiger deserved to be on the top 12!

[liliycrown]

I hate NICOLE after see this!!!!! and I love Enrique´s Face he is so cute!!!

[reppetolyoko]

I think she can win anything! She is so talented!

[Cerezitha22]

Wow.. just WOW!! Amazing.

[zepilepzia]

@franmaxarg it's No surprises by Radiohead!! such a beautiful song



[hasti213]

nicole sending her out , made me hate her for ever

she could win nicole

[eliezarify]

it's the best performance in the judges' house performance....it was too strong one to take her in the competition ...check it enrique likes her so much but nicole just don't agree.....what a mess for nicole ???????? me as filipino like her so much as much as enrique does....

the only thing is nicole can't sing song like that..

[Limabine]

Look at the description: Christa Collins performs "No Surprises" by Radiohead for Enrique Iglesias and Nicole Scherzinger at her house. Watch to see how HE does!

I'm pretty sure christa is a girl...

[valynti]

you can see the pain in her eyes when she sang the last line so idk what more nicole wanted..

[uppergroundec]

the best women perfomance!! what nicole? more painful? you want some blood!!. So jealous this nicole. this girl deserved at least to be in the top 5. Who chose this nicole to be a jugde? her audition years ago was so lame in comparison with christa. I you ever read this christa, i hope you succeed. you have the whole package

[liliycrown]

me gusta mas esta version de la cancion que con Radiohead....

[16minniedinnie]

Hauntingly beautiful

[cakenbalicious]

She is sooooooooooo brilliant!

[iswearnothing]

It's a shame she can sing technically well and shows emotion, I just don't really like her voice...

[24theallison]

What song its she singing

[iiisabelalopes]

I prefere her singing that music, than the own Radiohead!!!

[iiisabelalopes]

She was the best, I'm sure. I can't stop watching it, and can't understand why Nicole did that choice.

[Thegiftofharmony]

I can't stop watching this music video because it is an incredible performance!

[16minniedinnie]

she is amazing , i can't stop listening to her. She should have been chosen. i would buy her single

[Thegiftofharmony]

I AM A MUSICAL GENIUS AND I SAY PUT Christa Collins BACK IN THE COMPETITION. WHY? CAN'T YOU TELL BY THE VIDEO ABOVE? HER PERFORMANCE WAS AMAZING AND SHE DESERVES A SECOND SHOT AT HER DREAM!

Other Comments On The Competition:

Competitor Drew Ryniewicz also made an excellent performance at the judges house, Simon. As for the guy that was chosen instead of Christa, his talent was not nearly as great as Drew and Christa which makes it silly that he was chosen instead of Christa.

[kaylonmitchell14]

Enrique looks like he wants to get up and make out with her! lol

[thegirlintube]

@kaylonmitchell14 Enirque is so adorable

[jorch1220]

@kaylonmitchell14 enrique is a boss.

[afordan]

BRING.... HER.... BACK

[simkimp]

in response to nicole's statement, why does this song have to exude sadness? yes it is a radiohead song so? Christa sings it with such optimism, because as she said treasures this second chance and produced her own unique rendition. I think it was a brilliantly touching performance by Christa nonetheless.

[twoxcents]

Nicole couldnt appreciate the difference on her cover because she never even heard of radiohead... this chick was by far more talented than all of her picks... Leroy is like lionel richie = old fashion, stacy is choir with a lot of screaming, josh is and will always be a lounge singer, and dexter... if prince cant get out a hit nowadays, wtf can dexter do? seriously.. cmon now! a big LOL

[sagechasen1]

Its so hard to watch the show without her:(

[PoisonYourHeart]

I've been watching X-factor USA here in Finland, and Christa was my absolute favourite of them all! I thought whoever gets the over 30's is so fortunate to have Christa in her/his group.

And then... the group was given to Nicole who wasn't capable to appreciate that amazing talent. So sad! I can't believe Nicole let this star go.

Maybe Nicole just was envios cause she isn't nearly as fascinating, enchanting, gorgeous and talented as Christa is.

I hope to hear from Christa soon again!

[bxnena1990]

i don't get why she didn't ho through??? She's wonderful and i loved the cover she did for radiohead. They need to bring her back!!!

[jasonme2u]

why didnt she go through??

[vona4U]

hahaha enrique looks like he is inlove

[vona4U]

hahaha enriqu looks like he is inlove

[MrJasonDewhurst]

follow her on twitter and supported the talented young lady :)

[japitt1019]

Who picks their songs? This is great!

[BrianL8]

Omg Im sorry but enrique is just so sexy <333

[ltj6197]

I hope Enrique or someone who gets her will pick her up.

[ltj6197]

Nicole is a good singer but I think that Elaine and Christa deserved to make it through and James too.

[prochristopher]

Nicole should not be a judge, she is clearly intimidated by Christa Collins' raw talent and let that get in the way of a fair judgment. This performance blows me away every time I watch it.

And as a side note, Nicole's performance on X Faxtor UK was awful.

[justtsui]

i just love this performance...it really touches my heart....i think christa collins should come back next year and prove nicole wrong

[westempire0]

nicole's criticism just makes her look like a fool

[evo4949]

55 person must be mad..

[Bandkae]

nicole: the only thing i wanted, i liked to have seen, theres alota pain in that song, i would have like to have seen a little bit more of that emotion behind tha the lyrics.

Thats Pathetic, Nicole, Christa had alota pain in that song, and whats even better she didnt just copy it directly from the original Christa had her own shifting of gears going up and down perfectly with LOADS of pain. its bullocks what u say Nicole, Christa did it perfect and your judgement dont make the world go round

[Bandkae]

Nicole, shame on you!

Christa did a good singing, and a good performance.

Nicole forget your Asian virtues of heart, a heart is mussle that transport blood around in your body and if u think it has a connection to any human emotion then that is human make-believe or human idea that doesnt exist in nature itself.

Forget your heart and use your ears and eyes instead be a judge not a mercifull samurai. Christa wasnt just qualified for going on she was the best of all ive seen so far.

[Prokure]

nicole is afraid of strong women its so clear to see. And its a problem that a superstar wont let a brilliant singer go through coz she thinks she is to good for her. You could she that in the auditions where all women where shut down where they stood

[vegas63robert]

Shes amazing and i hope that enrique iglesia gets her. I watch enrique and he never smile on any of the singers. But christa, he was amaze when she came out. Who knows maybe thats why nicole didn't pick her. We just don't know if he already helping her singing career.

[HimalayaE]

it was a wonderful performance, great& unique voice and style....she sung the song full of pain and emotions, Nicole is deaf & blind from jelaousy.....I like RadioHead myself and must say I like this song more sung by Christa....the really weird thing is that absolutely nowhere to find is the video of 1st Christa`s Audition in X factor......anyone? do you have it? I would love to watch/hear it.....

[NiKoLiDESABLE]

she is perfect I can´t stop listening to this song ;)

[Phuong428]

Nicole made her biggest mistake when she eliminated christa. This is the best version of this song i've heard so far. I hope she makes a full cover of it. BRING CHRISTA BACK!!

[csopa08]

Enrique's face says it all. Christa is so interesting and charming. Shame her fate was in Nicole's hands. Nicole made bad decisions, so did Simon Cowell.

[MrDearest25]

she's afraid of her!!!

[BrownEyesBlueYentL]

if she's biased then those she doesnt like even if theyre good wont make it lolz... its a no-brainer

[InTheMist03200]

@BrownEyesBlueYentL And that's exactly what happened. Christa, Tiger, and Elaine were WAY better than Dexter.

[nzanonymous]

She definitely deserves to be back!

[ADiTaMi]

LOVE HER!



[88stando]

stop saying nicole is biased, what does she have to gain from being biased? seriously?? In the end its the producers decision, to get the highest ratings for the show

[lilrdog]

@88stando she is heavily biased. She puts her own heart over who is actually a better singer. How else would someone with as horrible vocals as dexter make it through.

[BrownEyesBlueYentL]

Can't help but think that Nicole didn't like Christa's performance coz she's bias...at bootcamp Simon liked Christa but Nicole doesn't like Simon therefore she doesn't like Christa?

[BrownEyesBlueYentL]

I was surprised when Nicole eliminated her..Nicole said there's so much pain when christa sang... aint that means shes an effective singer? and so what? bottomline, SHE'S VERY VERY GOOD!

[BrownEyesBlueYentL]

mean*



[844Tattoo]

Even without watching Lie 2 Me you can tell by Enrique´s body language and face that he thinks what Nicole just said is bullshit..

[movie4u2c]

Best performance by far for me. She did it! sod the rest of the so called journey. If we hear more from Christa then we are the lucky ones!

[suicideposter]

More pain? What? You want her to cut herself or something? That was the most emotion I've experienced on this show.

[thefamouscookiedough]

Glad to see I am not the only one who feels that Christa should be in. Dexter's performance was crap at the Judge's house and also at the Live show. At least he was kicked out.

[hysterka18]

she was amazing...i can´t believe she is out of this competition...This performance was full of emotions, full of pain. She makes me cry...

[beyondallthree]

So they put Dexter through over Christa just to kick him out on the first live show. How useless. And how unfair to someone like Christa who has an actual voice! She would have set that room on fire! Nothing I've seen today reaches her intensity! This show is contrived and boring. Please spice things up X Factor and bring CHRISTA COLLINS back as a WILD CARD!!
