This has got to be the worst group of singers I've heard. They sang no justice to the Rock & Roll genre. Where's Dexter when we needed him.

[zebracrunk]

@mitc8141 He got eliminated...AND HE LIKED IT!

[patriotsguy33]

I felt like the review was very good. I also believe you were contradicting yourself when you kept repeating "Contestants need to step out of their comfort zone" and then you said for a few contestants "This song is not you." can you give me a better explanation there. Thanks.

[zebracrunk]

@patriotsguy33 Some contestants can sing more than one genre. Drew could easily try something up tempo and "fun", while others have genres that they should avoid. For example, Melanie should attempt a real rock song. I think it would be great. However, Astro can only rap. He can't sing. Most theme nights will work against him. I'm aware that I can occasionally contradict myself. I don't take notes, and read song names from a blog. The rest is my own opinion, which I almost make up on the spot.

[Direwolf181]

Your such a fucking hypocrit... so Astro can rap a rock song but Chrs can't add Rap? Plus Astro was a complete brat tonight... I'm sorry I'm done with him...

[zebracrunk]

@Direwolf181 I said Astro shouldn't sample a rock song, yet he still did fine. Chris can add rap to anything he wants, if it's GOOD.

[Shantelsjourneys11]

just get to the point

[dugongyogurt]

lol love your frustration. youre funny. fun review

[paulharris198328]

Chris Rene is an R&B and rap artist. If you listen to Chris Rene's originals you would think different. He can sing but he needs to sing his way. Not the way X-factor is forcing him to sing. If he could sing his own music he would destory everyone except Josh Krajcik. 

[paulharris198328]

OMG!!! That girl has a deep voice!!!!!!!

[NoJboysAPN0Journey]

it was the night of rock n roll disaster except Josh's performance.

[mitc8141]

Out of the singers that are left, I'd pick Drew, Josh & Rachel for top three. Drew needs to change her tempo & not sound so depressing all the time. Josh needs to let his vocals loose and sing like we know he can. Rachel will probably win because she has the baby cute factor, (Great for the pre-teens) & the judges are looking for the next Justin Beaver take to market. I'm not really a fan of rap but Astro is working on his bad boy image which I'm sure will help him in his career.

[bribri11935]

@JulietTony10 the dont even need to be on stage goooooooooooooooooo homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[MultiUlme]

I agree with you that Josh was the best act for the night.

Chris Rene doesn't have the best singing voice I agree with you there, but in his case it doesn't matter, because at the end of the day hes the one most people are gonna buy records from.
