Melanie Amaro Forces X Factor Viewers to "Listen"

by at .

With apologies to Rachel Crow, Nick Voss and other impressive acts from week one of The X Factor, Melanie Amaro is it.

This 18-year old put gave us the audition of the (early) season last night, belting out Beyonce's "Listen," bringing Nicole Scherzinger to tears and prompting Simon Cowell to say: "When I was asked by people why I was bringing this show to America it was because I hoped we were going to find someone like you."

High praise, indeed. Does Melanie deserve it? You decide...

    Melanie just keeps bringing it every week. I doubt I would watch this show if she wasn't on it. I so hope that the unlimited voting by the pre-teens prevents her from going to the finals.

    MELANIE--I really do believe you have the most beautiful voice on the planet. I have listened to your three songs numerous times and each time emotions automatically take over along with the chills and goosebumps. The numerous comments I read all touch on the emotional effect that you have on everyone. It takes a very special personality and god given voice (young Whitney comes to mind)to have such an effect on so many people. You are truly very special.
