Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for all of your kind words! I'm the Cheyenne that was on Idol. I so appreciate everything you have said in regards to my audition on the show. If you are at all interested in listening to more of me, my channel is CheyenneAylaJames. Check me out, and thank you again!

@CheyenneAylaJames you're so welcome, girl! you were totally robbed!!!

...that's STEVE Jones. My fingers are not meant for typing fast on an iPad keyboard.

I just heard that Ateve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger are leaving "The X-Factor"...your thoughts?

Rachael Turner (the blonde who did "Undo It") she was good too and didnt make it!

@CheyenneAylaJames You should have gone through, omg! You're pretty and have a great voice, I bet if you were thinner they would have put you through... fucking idiot randy.

[willycosme]

#UnpopularOpinion but Randy and Steven would have put Cheyenne James through if she was "hot" and "skinny" for sure. It pisses me off! a lot of the people who get no's only got those no's because of their look and appearance, for example, i remember a season where this gay guy with a wig was singing REALLY GOOD and they still made fun of him and humiliated him and then said NO. Jlo is a good judge imo, better than Randy.

Oh, and I was not impressed by the last contestant, Ramiro. I know he has a very sad story, but he's going to be eaten alive in the competition if he makes it to the live show. His voice seems very limited and he ends his phrasing the same way just about every time. I like his ton, but I don't think he's a great of a singer. But Cheyanne... yeah. She's amazing.

[RullyisJRM]

Bailey Brown is fiiiine! :D Did not remember her looking all that great when she was 16. She was the only highlight on this episode for me. I completely agree with JLO's choices -- I cannot BELIEVE the producers and judges let go of that many talented people, ESPECIALLY Cheyanne! WTF!

[Jeauxelle]

Agreed about Cheyenne! She had prepared a different song that ended up not being on their "approved" song list. She had 20 min. to practice Misery! Then after she sang Misery, they went ahead and made her sing the other song that they couldn't show. Steven ended up telling her that she missed a note! It was crazy! Cheyenne did a couple of interviews on Fox 26 News in Houston and she is well spoken, polite, gracious and very intelligent. You should look the interviews up! Thank you!!
