Melanie Amaro is declared the winner in X Factor USA Season 1!

You might not know this but Melanie has been my bet since day 1 of the competition. She, together with Drew and Chris Rene were my bets. I am really glad that Melanie won because talent prevailed in the competition and not just popularity alone. She will be awarded with a $5 million record deal and a Pepsi ad campaign.

Congrats, Melanie!
