The X Factor Singers Support Rachel Crow

Posted 154 days ago by Reg Seeton

Following the elimination of Rachel Crow from The X Factor, the remaining finalists recently revealed how they felt bad for the 13-year old Crow and support her beyond the popular Fox talent competition.

According to MTV, X factor finalists Chris Rene, Josh Krajcik, Marcus Canty and Melanie Amaro addressed the elimination of Rachel Crow after last week’s episode. As for how The X Factor singers felt about seeing Rachel Crow leave the show, each had their own unique experience.

“I was just telling her that she really cannot give up,’ said Melanie Amaro. “because she’s an amazing singer.”

Chris Rene admitted that the backstage tension was so intense that it was hard to endure. “You see your little sister cry like that, it doesn’t make you happy,” said Rene. “You wish you could do something about it, and you can’t.”

For Josh Krajcik, the negativity directed at X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger, who left Crow’s fate to a number votes, was difficult to watch. “It was tough,” said Krajcik. “It felt like ‘Gladiator’ up there. I thought that I was in the middle of a blood-soaked sand arena.”

As for Marcus Canty, who beat Rachel Crow in the numbers game, seeing Crow on the floor crying was almost too much to take. “I said, ‘Can I talk to her?’ Obviously I didn’t want to see her on the ground,” Canty stated. “Let her know everything was going to be all right.”

How do you feel about The X Factor elimination of Rachel Crow?

Rachel should have never been sent home
In my opinion there are two OBVIOUSLY less talented artists making it through, but she has nothing to worry about it. Her talent hasn’t gone unnoticed. I cried when she Wang.her “save me” song, but when she hit her knees, sobbing, I bawled. My heart hurt for her. She is an amazing kid!!!

Nicole, should not be a judge she does not have enough backbone to do the job, they need to get somebody else.

The Judges need to do their job or they should be voted off! She did not do her job. She was the adult here. What a Shame.

Rachel was sent home by American – she had less votes. Maybe the age group should be raised to avoid this situation again. Most children cannot handle stress or criticism.

The point is the votes should not send ANYONE home in a survival singoff. The announcer even says the best will stay and the other goes home. Also, the judges are instructed to vote for the best of the two in a singoff, not to show loyalty and stand by a person. Even the crowd knew who had won that sing off !!!!!!!!

Rachel was sent home because NICOLE refused to do the job she has been hired to do! DID YOU EVEN WATCH THE SHOW? Rachel wasn’t in the bottom 2 for 3 weeks in a row Marcus was. Nicole and Paula gave Rachel standing ovation NOT Marcus!!!

If you are watching X Factor live tonight, jump online to Judge It Live and rate the performances. Only a few episodes left!

Nicole should be voted off. She obviously wanted Marcus to leave but did NOT have the courage to do that . she is the judge and should have the courage. She is lucky to have Josh in her team otherwise I do not see her adding any value to the contestants or the show !!

Nicole you are a feminine, beautiful woman, but the roll you play is not a clothes horse, but a JUDGE. You are paid to make an honest, impartial decision, not decline, for whatever reason. L.A., I respect your loyalty, but the position calls for you to be impartial, and you were, even outspokenly, not. It’s a tough field, I don’t know if Rachel would have made it to the top two–she deserved to, and now we will never know. I only watch Xfactor because I caught Rachel on a human interest show review off of MSN.com, and started watching beautiful, talented, upbeat, Rachel Crow. She will be o.k. and maybe a timely lesson in ‘things never go as you expect or want them to’. Tough on a 13 year old, but it was a reality bite. AND, to RACHEL CROW, darling I will never stop loving you, your voice of PERFECT PITCH, wow. I love you, Rachel, you lift my heart and fill it with song. Never loose who you really are, a delightful young woman with a very, very good heart. Of all the contestants, you are the one I carry away from XFactor. You are the one, whose music I will buy (cd please!); the one I will cheer for and look for daily news. I have already written my support to Disney exec to hire you. Somebody out there grab up this multi-talented young lady. I want your music, your movies, your clothes, your doll. Darling Rachel, you could sell diamonds, perfume, PEPSI or dog flea collars–I’d buy it! Love you, sweatheart. May God and angels always be with you. And a special thank you to your lovely parents and family; for without their support, we would not have you.

What a nice post totally agre god bless you too Kgreen

It seems the four finalists have more character then three of the four judges !
A-Rod
No Different then American Idol… Rachel should have one the competition… now who will win.
Blinky212
We all know Rachel should have won… BIG TIME!! The question is … could she really have beat Josh or Melanie?

Guestone
Rachel is cute, exciting and talented but should have been eliminated a couple of weeks ago…but not before that pretender Chris Rene. This is turning into a popularity contest, not a talent contest,

Renee
I think she was terrific and I woulod have rather see Chris Rene leave….That is a matter of taste I guess.
Other then that Nicole, behaved like a rotten spoiled child…they know the rules when they start this series, comply and execute like an adult. Of course it is difficult, but if you cannot handle the pressure, don’t become a mentor.
I suggest Nicole should be replaced, if not immediately then before the next season !!!
Blondegurlinsc
I had Rachel as my winner – she is awesome and hopefully someone will sign her and she will produce awesome records and make mega bucks!!! She deserves it.
Marc
The judge **** Lee is not a judge, he himself was desapointed from the performance of its own protege but he saied “”I am a man of principle …….”"” this comment by itself show the lack of partiality in a competition that shows the bests of the bests so far and then he keeps the worst of the 2 singers.Nicole got squeeze into it and lost, if that **** Lee had done its job properly and impartially (THAT IS WHAT JUDGES ARE PAID TO DO) Nicole did not have to vote and make the wrong choice.
I am asking the PEPSI managers to look into it and fire once for all that **** Lee, the risk to
PEPSI will be to loose millions of customers if the same scenario happen again, and it will.

Helen
Its LA Reid dude, where did you get Lee from????????????????

Manolita
In any competition there is only one winner and losers. If Crow was judged to be out, tough luck. Nicole is the judge, so let her do her job, and you are not. Let her be then. You are not Nicole the judge, so quit. Better respect her decision.
Framauro222
rachel is a bit too fake for me’ america voted her off and i think that says it all

http://profiles.google.com/idolmakersentertainment Idolmakers Entertainment
She’s 13 years old c’mon. I don’t think she would’ve won it but Nicole blew it. Both Canty & Chris Rene are over there heads & should’ve never lasted longer than Astro imo.

J B
Nicole let the whole show down – She was a judge and did not make a decision. Replace her. The talent that Rachel was should have won on that night – she should not have lost at that point of the competition. Nicole did not do her job.
Fromo222
rachel is a bit too fake for me , america voted her off and that about says it all
Larry
Rachel Crow is a phenominal singer and if she pursues her talent to the max has a very promising future. i have to agree with her elimination however.
I think the fact that she is only 13 makes her a less attractive individual for a 5 million dollar record contract. She needs to have her education, college, etc. Winning would have tainted that from happening and would have denied her from being and living the life of a normal teenager. I think that period of life is extremely important to experience to make one’s life complete.
I have no doubt she can get into a special high school for musicians, actors, singers and the like and should apply to get into one. That way she gets her education and pursue her dreams.
Good job Rachael and I know we’ll be seeing you in the future. You’re one of the best.

I think Nicole was just trying to please LA and did not do her job. The judges decision is based on the “save me” songs and Rachel blew it away. The public vote is based on the night before. So it was not right for Nicole not to make a decision BASED on the songs of the night. Rachel should still be on the show. The judges just all want to beat Simon and don’t care a hoot about the actual singers. I do not plan to watch the show any further. The judging format is great for those Jerry Springer “fight it out in the alley” folks.
Cieslalaura
I THINK THAT IT WAS ALL WRONG, RACHEL CROW DID NOT DESERVE TO GO HOME AT ALL . SHAME ON YOU NICOLE YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR HEART WAS IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH OF A JUDGE GET OFF OF IT YOU CAUSED IT ALL SHAME ON YOU.
Katlee16365
Lost all respect for Nicole as a judge. She should have cast her vote for the one she believed in the most. Even if the results turned out the same. She took a cowards way out of making the tough decision she is paid to do. I don’t have the same interest in the show or it’s outcome after last week.
Lynnhaar
Rachel Crow was not eliminated by votes, I tried numerous times to get through and only to get a recording stating the number that I had dialed was not a working number. I was able to get through 5 times and kept trying for 2 hours. The number I dialed was the number given on the screen and because I got through 5 times proved it was the correct number. Why wasn’t I able to get through the other times and why did I keep getting the message of a non working number. Am I the only person that this happened to? I thought at the time, if she gets voted off, it will be because of this and sure enough…………. I don’t know if I will watch the x-factor again, but if I do, I will certainly not vote!!
Countrydawnmi
Rachel was not my fav to win the whole thing, but I sure enjoyed her. Honestly she probably would have went home this week who knows, but last week was a joke. It was not even close. I cried and I NEVER cry over these shows. Pathetic that they dont judge impartial, they need to change something here.

surfgrl
oh I so agree! rachel should be there now, and I sobbed too. Poor little sweet thing….but Simon will probably pick her up and produce her. She WILL make it.

Stripedplanet
I am glad that the decisions are not up to the judges from now on. Its too bad that one of the judges didnt have the backbone to cast her vote. Very poor judge.
Kimipitt
there is no way she should have gone home! its a battle of the judges, and so doesn’t have a thing to do with talent.they should be replacing that gutless wonder of a so called judge. DO YOUR JOB!!!
LULYFROMFL
simon should fire nicole, she is a total air head!!!!!
Glorrchr
Im very upset that Rachel crow went home like she did Nicole is a judge she was suppose to keep the best singer and send the other one home but we see she dont have the backbone to do the right thing since Nicole has no backbone maybe xfactor dont need her as a judge..just let america vote in her place….
Michylt1
I think Nicole made a huge mistake n she will be remembered for her stupidity. If she cant make an important decision like that then she shouldn’t be on the show
Bazy1
I hate that nicole she is a bitch and I hope she is not on xfactor next year
elsie
Rachels performance on Tuesday night was not up to par and thus the country did not vote her through. However, Wednesday night her “save me” performance was amazing and gave me all over goose bumps. Based on that performance alone…which is what the judges are supposed to make their decisions on..She should have won the save me singoff and stayed on the show. I understand Simon and LA voting for their performer and unfortunately Paula voting 3rd was scripted to put Nicole in the ‘deciding seat’. Nicole did not fulfill her duties as a judge and took the cowards choice, obviously against her judgement. I don’t pity her position but after all remember drama is part of the show. True talent only plays a percentage of the results..remember Melanie – one of the best= was brought back–again scripted drama…cris renee…another scripted drama- his talent is not what has kept him on the show Wish they would keep it real and truly based on talent rather than script
Tracey
Rachel is a good singer; she is not better than Marcus, Josh, or Melanie. She will still get signed by somebody.

Tracey
And on top of that, Nicole shouldn’t be stomped on like that. Rachel did one helluva job on her ‘save me song’…..she should have sang like that the night before! Rachel’s a cutie; she’s come a long way!

ILOVEMYLIFE
Rachel was my Vote, but unfortunately, playing this game by the rules she got the lowest vote by the audience based on the prior weeks performance, not the save me song. I think that by having the judges vote first before a big blow is charitable. The producers did not have to design it that way. These rules apply to Rachel as well as anyone else, so this was not a personal attack. Yeah, I agree that Nicole needs to cut out all that drama. That’s not what we are paying her for. Whether she made the wrong decision or not, it was her decision and that’s how the game goes. Personally, I really don’t care who is chosen as the XFactor at this point….Rachel Crow was my pick, and she will be that because she is a real star. After her, would be Marcus Canty. The kid has got it too! I want to see both of them in lights after this. Their work will sell BIG! Rachel, don’t cry. You did not lose being in the top 5! You are just being given time to rest up for your next big Show! REST THOSE VOCALS.
Bjw
Nicole did not do her job and is now trying to blame America for her spineless decision. Marcus had been in the bottom for the 3rd week. Did she not understand that it was her responsibility to send him home?
Lonney2bum
I felt that the votes were rigged and that damn chris rene was suppose to had been went home hw cant sing an he shouldve been in the bottom 2 along with josh c. Thtat whole votin thing just made me mad as hell because marcus canty, rachel crow, and melaine a. All shouldve been there tonight even astro have mad skillz what is the purpose of a compition when its easy to choose from thats crazy! Rachel crow is gona be the next jennifer hudson she gone make it rather she got her vote from hnot nic
Carolyn
Rachel should not have gone home. I had been voting for her all along and I am an old great grandma who loves and listens to Country music only for the most part, however I would definitely listen to her anytime. She is fabulous. Shame on Nicole, you should not be a judge in any contest.
K&R
X Factor is turning into a drama by the judges’ competition other than these singers. Obviously, judge Nicole lacks professionalism…the judges fight each other for their own guys despite the contestants performance. This makes audience feel this show is a drama, not a competition.
Monieaa
I tried to add a comment last week when the whole thing was still fresh!!! I cannot believe that Nicole could not make a decision, to me it showed how weak she is and I’m done with her!!! I thought Paula was bad, but Nicole took the case. Marcus Canty is a nice performer and I like his stage presence, but his vocals are Very weak and pitchey! Why would you even consider picking him over her when it was his 3rd time at the bottom, obviously he was at the bottom for a reason.
Craftylady56
I think Nicole should have done her job and not thrown it back to the voters! I think it proved what a chicken shit Nicole is.. Marcus was in the bottom 2 for 3 weeks in a row yet Rachel got voted off because Nicole refused to choose. If thats x-factors way I won’t watch next season.

Monieaa
I agree, I now know why I stopped watching American Idol!

Lckedy
Nicole shouldn’t be voted off. She brings controversy where Simon can’t get away with things like he did on idol. Rachel is a good singer. It’s her fans fault for her not continuing, not Nicole’s. I love watching singers come out of the closet and show their talent. Some of the ones that went to celebs houses should have never been there. Don’t worry, Rachel will get her chance. I’m sure that most of these last 10 will get recording contracts. Maybe not as big as $5 mil but the selling of the songs will be big if they are that good.
Bj
They need to rethink the age factor. 13 is too young for the pressure and rejection. Badly constructed show.
nmej
So the same complaint should be applied towards Simon since he also as you guys say ‘didnt have the bakbone’ to do his job as a judge. SInce he also used the deadlock votes instead of choosing between Marcus & Le Roy…..It cannot be just Nicole being blamed for being lame since she used the deadlock vote, since Simon also used the same….or is it because Nicole is a woman & thus lame for being emotional but if the male judges use the deadlock is not lame since its justifiable????? This ideology is very fishy…
Lostnfoundlovies
The judges that don’t elimanate the proper person are not doing the job they were hired to do Simon may what to get some tuffer Judges for next years game – they and the contestents know that the little gal beat in the sing off – thats why they do it to sing for your life and Nicole made a big baby out of her self by not choosing the one that sang for there life JUST SAYING i never thought that rachel would have won the final but she should still be there this week !!!! i have voting for Josh or Melanie to Win ” good luck “
Duhpatty
It should have been Marcus
Nicho63
Nicole should be sacked, it’s making a mockery of the show. More about the judges than the talent.
Josh18
The Careless Whisper dance version last night proved it should have been Marcus the week before.
fs
Well I have just heard Nicole sing on X Factor. In my opinion she howels like a cat…. no wonder she got rid of someone like Rachel Crowe as she would have been shown up. The task in hand is to be impartial and judge which she did not do… Nicole I am judging you now and you suck… go to Rachel for singing lessons because you sounded like a cat in pain….
Drea55g
Obviously LA said something to Nicole that swayed her vote. Alot of us know that Rachel had Marcus beat by a long shot. He is so Kariokie!!! He will not win!!! There are three better singers then him left. Nicole saved his butt, we all know that.
Rocketman11221
NICOLE AND PAULA do not have the talent to be judges. Bring in two women who have the credentials. . LINDA RONDSTADT and GLORIA ESTEFAN would definitely be better that these two women who cant sing. As for NICOLE. save your face by removing yourself from the show. YOU ARE A DISGRACE GUTLESS and SELF CENTERED
From Panama
Shame on you Nicole, that’s all I’ll say.
Richard
Nicole Knew the audience decission before it was told, because Nicole said that she can not be the person to send Rachel home, so the juror ready knew the decission. Hummmmm.

Josh18
Agreed! Good eye!

Charity
I still cry about Rachel Crow elimination but looking at it I don’t blame Nicole. She never thought Rachel would be the one with the lowest vote and I think Rachel also never thought she was the one with the lowest vote until her name was mentioned. Seeing her cry like that was so unbearable. She is a star and I pray that somebody sign her up to get that bigger house where she can get her own bathroom and everything.
Amhuff
What a low moment in the History of this competition. A talented 13 yr old girl who gave her all in the sing off and was given a standing ovation by the judges was eliminated because Nicole didn’t have the ability to make a decision as a judge. There was no question among the viewers that Marcus Canty should be sent home he had been in the bottom for weeks and Rachel was not. The sing -off was the deciding factor and Rachel blew it away with an amazing performance! Nicole, as a judge should have not made an emotional decision but, based on the performance should have sent Marcus home. Her lack of judgement threatens the integrity of the show. If you can’t stand the heat GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN ! Nicole
is a beautiful, talented performer but she is a terrible judge, Rachel will succeed where ever she goes but I am furious that her chance to compete was taken from her. I have come to like the X-Factor even more than American Idol but serious thought has to be given to the
final judging format or this program will lose it’s audience including myself !
cuntak
During elimination, a judge’s duty is to choose a stronger opponent, best among the two who can sing very well and perform consistency throughout the show from day 1. Rachel certainly has fulfill all that criteria. Marcus has been at bottom 2 three times. I can’t understand why Nicole follow her emotion, scared to make firm decision and not doing her duty as judge profesionally. All 5 are my fave contestant but surely Rachel deserve to be in the top three along with Josh Krajick and Melanie Amaro.
Sarashi_sama
in a way, it is nicholes fault, her job was to choose who did the best on the saving song, yet she left it to americas vote, a short sighted choice because the votes did not take into account the saving songs, only the previous nights preformances…as far as the vote numbers are concerned, the saving songs might as well have not even happened
Zuleika Gines
yeeeeah, Rachel was really talented too bad i didnt see her preformance though, i was busy babysitting my little brother >:P I was rooting for her too
Zuleika Gines
my best wishes to her, hopefully she”ll maake an awesome comeback.
Flyindoghouse
if the xfactor is going to continue to allow kids to participate, then the judges need to act like adults
