Drew Ryniewicz Speaks on X Factor Ousting, Receives Encouragement from Justin Bieber
by Hilton Hater at .Drew Ryniewicz is no longer a contestant on The X Factor. She was surprisingly eliminated last night, following Tuesday's seated cover of "Billie Jean."
But there is a bright side for the 14-year old singer: her musical hero, Justin Bieber, gave Drew a shout-out soon after the results show came to an end.
"@drewryniewicz keep your head up," Justin wrote. "I lost my first competition too. this is just the beginning for u. never say never. best wishes."
On a conference call with reporters this morning, meanwhile, Ryniewicz said she's come to more peace with her elimination than her mentor, Simon Cowell.
“He feels guilty," Drew said. "I don’t think he should feel guilty at all because I got to the top 7. Not everybody can win this show, and he has two girls left representing him.”
Still, the young crooner admits to wishing she could have showed viewers “that side of me that is a teenager who dances around — the fun side. I’m definitely going to do that with my album.”Overall, Drew refers to The X Factor as "the greatest experience of my life," adding:
"And everyone’s going to be going home, whether they’re the winner or someone else, in the next few weeks. So for me to have made it this far is an honor. For me to be on the first X Factor [in the] U.S.A. and, you know, just to be able to say that I’ve worked with Simon Cowell, and I’m best friends with Melanie and Rachel Crow."
It's certainly not a bad position to be in. We wish Drew all the best.

GUESS WHAT EVERYBODY! The stupid show is over and half the judges and host got fired. So stfu....it doesnt matter
I think nicole and paula are doing great even though drew is a good singer...its good to have controversies..
i think drew deserves more on this show she is talented. i think the judges lost thier sense and ears .
Drew cant sing!! It has nothing to do with race!!! She sounded awful and it was time for her to go. She does not sound better then marcus. She sounds like a cat in heat!!! Now she'll get what I call the TAYLOR SWIFT sympathy attention. Just to try and prove a point, there will be offers and deals for her and for what? Just to get back at the so called "racist judges" They know what sounds good, and it aint her. SHE CAN'T SING!!!!
I stay current with The X Factor USA , UK and Australia and by far the best judge and mentor is Simon Cowell , even when he was a judge on the UK version . He's seen raw talent and recognized it , if they were doing a show about popping pills then Paula should be the headliner and a show about influential racists the LA would be the headliner and a show about being a dreamer and hurting anyones feelings you want , then your the headliner Nicole . Paula especially should be ashamed of herself , but atleast we know for sure why she's not happily married with kids , thats to high of maitnence for anyone . and
