X Factor USA Top 9 Recap

"Beggars can't be choosers Simon". Rachel performed first, the show started with the water works, wah! Her rendition was so uplifting with great vocals. Marcus went next, he started a little slow but picked it up that by the end of his performance, by then I couldn't hold in my tears. Melanie performance was OK, not her greatest maybe because the song isn't one of my favorites. I don't think its a song for a singing competition like this. I just didn't feel her through this song as much as the first performance. Everyone gave her so much credit. She interrupted LA to let Simon know how thankful she was for him to give her a second opportunity. Hell yeah Young Homie came back out. Man he took me back to the first audition. That just proves that he should sing his original songs. We all believe in him. Lakoda Rayne touched me from their stories but kind of dropped me at their performances. Their performance was not as good as the judges made it seem. I couldn't help but get chocked up when one of the girls talked about how her dad would camp out when their light would go out. Leroy is awesome, his voice is tight. LA gets on my nerves when he talks shit to Leroy. "It felt like a song u were singing for your mom." said by the stupid host. Duh! U idiot. Astro went next. He apologized and he put on a good performance. Places like Nova Scotia. Astro was good but not his best performance. Drew sang one of my fave songs right now. She tried to hit that high note to the best of her ability, and that song was sung by a 19 year old, LA is a moron. They saved for one of the best for last, Josh. His performance was good but not his best. But I liked the fact that he busted out the piano. His hair looks nice straight. Well that concludes another week of the X Factor USA. I will rank from least favorite to favorite of the night. I call it a tie between Chris and Leroy for the best of the night.
