In the end its actually better that rachel didn't win.Jennifer Hudson and Daughtry didn't win ai either and some kids won over Susan Boyle all these people got the better end if the deal I think.Rachel can do so much more now and won't be locked in and just committed to one thing.Good luck Rachel,you've got what it takes.

its noones fault america chose not to vote for whatever reason and nicole did the same why hate her for it? rachel is amazing and will go on to do great things nomatter what

Such hate for Nicole. Get over it people. Any of the other three judges would have done the same thing in that position. Nicole has a big heart.

so many people dnot vote for Rachel, because they think she was safe.....they vote for marcus because so many people felt pety for him....Nicole just never be a judge

nicole u knew that rachael out sung him. i completey blame u.i dont look at the x factor anymore. that girl brought life to that show. i hope ur not the judge next year.u remember u could have saved her.am very angry am trying to get over this shock.this is the bigest shockers of them all. i felt that child pain. i know she will do well and i hope
