X Factor top 5 results review: Rachel Crow eliminated 12/8/2011

[MIZHOG]

love this guy haha

[TheWolfhunter1000]

She is not a brat people. Don't want to get into it with you guys but, you have a great idea for the voting. Because, the votes are about last week performance not the survival song.

[harryman435]

you is awesome

(P.S. she is a brat)

[SteelAVic18]

I thank God for American Idol every day!!

[SteelAVic18]

3:45-3:50...lol

[tinkerbellchime]

If Chris Rene sings one of his original songs for the final, I think he'll win. Take a listen to: Same Blood, Gangster of Love, Forever, or We're Still Here. They are all catchy and creative. I don't know why LA hasn't let him use his original songs. Maybe they know that his album will go platinum and they want to hold onto the song rights. His album used to be for sale, but it was pulled recently. I bet they're going to retool it with professional equipment and release it after the final.

[shannon360ify]

@tinkerbellchime I was suprised I love every single one of them .for some reason " Man in the corner and sameblood stood out the most the guy is very talentade .Not everybody do good when they sing live. I think even if doesnt win if going to be ok. I have been singing ''A better live to all " fro the sameblood all day the melodie won't come out my head.

[marsneedswomen1]

You know, I'm just realizing that this show is making me love American Idol. I feel like the dirty cheating spouse who is going to skulk home now and appreciate what they had.

[SteelAVic18]

@marsneedswomen1 I agree. American Idol is the wife we keep going back too. lol

[Draxolani]

I would like to see judges who are realistic 4 e.g I wuld like to see a judge who wuld not, as this dude has said, be loyal to their contestants, cawz if they were with another judge they would have sent them home and remebered they were not tone deaf

[keenasafrog]

your idea is fantastic!! would be great to interact with the audience

[squeakynee]

I don't understand why people are blaming Nicole when Simon did the SAME exact thing when Leroy Bell was eliminated!!



[greenyxi]

@squeakynee But when it was between Leroy and Marcus, it wasn't a big deal because neither of them were much good. This time Rachel, one of the best, went out against someone who can barely sing. Rachel could have been in the finals :/

[MeredithOD]

@squeakynee maybe bc Leroy Bell wasn't a little girl...and he didn't have quite the devoted following that RC had... and bc we all know and love to hate Simon but Nicole is the new kid on the block, first impression, and we're maybe not as comfortable with her being the villain...just a couple of guesses off the top of my head...

[squeakynee]

You are such an idiot! Marcus has only been saved by the judges once. The other two times it was America's votes!

[brymaster18]

@squeakynee yes but, in order for america's votes to count the judges had to send it to deadlock both times when they should've just sent him home.

[alexhugh999]

joe how would you like to see the rest of the season go?

[alexhugh999]

rachel should not have gone home! this is how i would like to see the rest of the season go.

1.melanie

2.josh

3.chris

4.marcus

[mrairik357]

Love you Nicole!

[MeredithOD]

oh and did you notice that when Nicole and Paula went up on stage to console Rachel, she just clung onto Paula and totally blew off Nicole? So Nicole went towards the back where only Josh would talk to her, lol...But then backstage, I saw on TMZ, Rachel went into Nicole's dressing room and told her it's ok bc apparently Rach was the only one who could get brat-face Nicole to stop crying---gimme a break! Can't stand this hussy!!!! gtfo, Nicole!!!

[MeredithOD]

oh and Steve Jones said on TMZ, "making little girls fall to the floor sobbing is not what I want to be doing with my life" or something along those lines...

[MeredithOD]

..said something to her, and Nicole said "o-okay.." And btw, she is sooo FAKE. I can't even tell you how annoyed I am with her. I haven't liked her all season. Also, there is something foundamentally wrong with the way the show is structured. The judges don't vote on "principle" (LA)..their votes are angeled against the other judges and in favor of themselves and have actually very little to do with the actual contestant. However, it makes for some good TV and we're all talking about it, so.....

[MeredithOD]

It makes me so angry when ppl say that Nicole didn't vote and she just sent it to deadlock. That's what she wanted ppl to say--but it's not true. She DID vote to send Rachel home. All four of their votes contributed to the deadlock-- Paula and Simon choosing Rachel, and LA and NICOLE choosing Marcus caused it to go to deadlock. Just bc she voted last doesn't make her vote any more or less important than the others. And I knew Paula told her to send it to deadlock bc right before she spoke, Paula

[Jackiluv777]

I still stand by my recommendation that Rachel belongs on the Disney channel. She is ubeat likeable and talented. The kids would love her. Parents would too. Definitely has the X factor but not ready for mainstream. However she is gifted versatile. I think it would work and I'll bet she would love it! What do you think Hotel Angel?

[lozzapie1]

Rachel is 13 not 5! There are no excuses for her tantrum.

[rd1999]

I watched it about 5 times too. great TV. I bet Simon loved it.

[JulianTheGreat01]

I haven't seen a single performance from Josh. Everytime he begins, I give it a chance, then fastfoward. Some weeks I don't even give him a chance.

This is just an example of how easily people will pass on his music. He's not marketable.

[Idolfan21785]

That hatchtag idea is a good idea

[madjames22]

This is not american idol. It's the x. Factor. It's so much more than singing. I love rachel but compare to the other contestants she will sell less records. Not because she can't sing. But because of who she would attract. She is too young to teach adults about love. It wouldn't be believable Andre very inappropriate. Please raise the x factor age!!!!!!

[yougogirlphinney28]

Could not agree more. I thought the judges having a say would stop America getting it wrong sometimes but they are so much worse.

[rosaliehalevampire]

My problem with Nicole is that if she is going to continue with this show, is she going to do this every time they come down to Nicole for the final decision? This show is not right for her. Cheryl Cole and her confusing accent would have gained more popularity in one week than Nicole has in one season.

[madjames22]

First of all Marcus canty deserve to be there. He has been the most consistent and most diverse on the show. For this guy to say he didn't sing his song well is just a lie. Chris rene deserves to be in the bottom everywhere. Rachel can sing but she wasn't going to win. And America voted.

[CaptainsOfComedy]

I understand not being able to make decisions.. I have trouble making them sometimes but It's nicole's job to make them so when she couldn't it kinda messed things up... Because Rachel should've stayed. I do feel bad for Nicole though... eh i dunno

[MeredithOD]

@CaptainsOfComedy Nicole did make a decision. She sent Rachel home. Don't be fooled by what she wants you to think.

[360Sharkzareawesome1]

god they just had to get Cheryl Cole the ax when Steve Jones accent is much more harder to understand Joe make a vid of who you would replace Nicole with

[TheLiltroy1127]

Man they really need to get L.A. Reid off , He is a only voting for his own guys , I swear if Marcus or Chris win it is because of his ass lol .

[eyecandifemme]

@TheLiltroy1127 well Simon only votes for his girls too

[TheLiltroy1127]

@eyecandifemme Simon is more fair though , Unlike L.A. , he does not tell the others they were better yet still vote for his team .

[Bigdadda20]

Great idea about the twitter voting thing.

[brymaster18]

i was wondering if you were going to talk about the steve jones awkward moment where he tried to comfort rachel, bent down, then she stood up. made him look funny lol!

[brianok01]

If Paula Abdul told you to drink out of her pepsi cup, would you do it? God Joe, that was a knee slapper!!!

[brianok01]

God I HATE Nicole. I hope she leaves. Forever.

[MrLhward]

Love your reviews but disagree on Josh. We won me over with First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Forever Young. Amaro has a great voice but no artistry - just a little bizarreness. Chris Renee showed a lot in his last performance. Want Josh to win, think Renee will win.

[CowboyBebop2012]

Pride comes before the fall. Behind it all - she was sure Canty was out on popular vote. Surprise! That's why her knees 'gave out'.

Strange you didn't mention Crows' hilarious end comment: ''Thank you all for voting even though you didn't!'' Ha-ha-ha! Comedy gold.

Next time, You try to hit those notes Josh reaches - and your face will look like you're an extra from Zombieland - guaranteed. Melanie distorts too.

Cashes Rehab can't sing his way out of a paper bag. All for Simon's head exploding!

[Malc230692]

Omg....Steve Jones is a dang COMEDIAN. His epic failure as a host makes Carson Daly look like a pro and Ryan Seacrest like a god.

[lldeland]

Lenny Kravitz's songs don't all sound the same.  Listen to "Lady" and then "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" and you'll hear an obvious difference.

[BbbradiCP]

Loved Lenny Kravitz :)) Cinna!!!! :)) (The Hunger Games)

[IdolTruth]

Yeah, I would love to watch Simon's pompous head explode!

[samuelade]

rachel is a spoiled brat!

[jlantern100]

I was so disappointed with this elimination. And you're right Joe, Nicole was such a coward w/ voting. Anyone w/ half a brain would've obviously send home marcus based on the save me song. And i say that as a marcus fan. The reason why marcus should've gone home, because the longer he is there, the more hate he's going to get. He got heat for Drew's elimination and now he's getting more heat for rachel's. And you're right Joe it's not that obvious melanie will win, and I'm scare josh will.

[xCuteButPsycho86]

I totally agree with your idea on making it more interactive! The acts trend on twitter anyways, so I'm sure it would work perfect on who out of the bottom 2 to send home!

[MrErikButler1]

I hope either Josh or Melanie wins!

[TheTop20freak]

..And this is why I like American Idol better... They have The Save and 8 out of 10 times the results are accurate. The most shocking elimination in the last 4 seasons was Pia.

[shannon360ify]

Chris Rene will win .I gonna to vote like crazy .he would be good for the show because he is the only one in view that could sale more records.I wouldn't mind if Melanie or Josh or Marcus win

[JustRiley16]

There are no good judges any more. Not just this show, but american idol too

[joe691020]

I hope is Melanie the one who is going home this week because the show is so screwup, That will make more drama and make simon head exploit live on tv.
