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!

I am hooked on X Factor USA! Originally, my bet was Drew Ryniewicz. But her performance after that Just A Dream by Nelly version of hers went spiraling downward. My bet became Melanie Amaro after I stopped becoming in awe of Drew’s performances.

I also like Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene.

Who is your bet?
