Did Nicole not understand the job description of "Judge" when she signed on?

She's such an annoying twit. Let's hope she's replaced for season 2 (assuming there even IS a season 2).

Nicole is a coward. BE A GROWN WOMAN ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. If you made a mistake, own up to it. Paula made me do it... how immature does that sound???? Paula may have said it, but Paula didnt hold a gun to her head. Over dramatic much Nicole? Looking for sympathy with all the theactics? smh...

If people didnt respond the way they did...this wont not have been an issue for her... she would have owned up to it. Now I know why I dont like her...

Nicole shouldn't even worry about what Rachel Crow's Nutty Azzz fans have to say. The Viewers got bored with Rachel and that is the bottom line.

Nicole is ridiculous, there she is coming apart at the seams instead of voting seemingly looking for someone to tell her what to do, and Paula says to her out of exasperation to deadlock the vote; and Nicole didn't have to it was her choice, a choice I believe she really wanted anyway as a way to eliminate a strong contender because Nicole wants her mentee, Josh, to win the competition.

Oh get a grip... No One had any idea that That Rachel Crow Actress was going to fallout all over the floor...because she herself thoughts she had more Viewer Votes than Marcus and was stunned to find out she did NOT!

These shows are all rigged - the recording companies decide who they're going to bankroll, not a bunch of voters. Watch the show to see the talented singers, if you must, but don't think it's a "fair contest" of talent.

Rachael's comments made it sound like the weight of her family surviving was on her shoulders.

Thus, the melt down by the let down. Nicole was right. It was a contest. Marcus was good as well. Why take away Marcus' success?

Yeah, "The Rachel Crow Story" as if she was the only one on the show who has a story.... Rachel had been a bore for the last couple of weeks and appeared to be getting NO BETTER... and so I agree with you, NICOLE is right and correct in voting for Marcus, who gets her out of her seat quite a bit, unlike The Nutty Fans' Rachel Crow.

Don't you shed a tear for Rachel. She's about to make more money than Paula and Nicole combined.

Ha! Probably true.

I had NO PLANS on shedding any things for Rachel Crow, I didn't the night she was eliminated, in fact, I was actually annoyed by her dramatic performance.

I don't care. Nicole is hot !

To me, it should never be a sing off anyway. Whoever got the least amount of votes from the viewers should go home. PERIOD.

[J0E1]

Wow what a twisted headline. She suggested that Nicole let it go to a nationwide vote. That's the same thing I would suggest if someone is uncertain.

Exactly. And I had voted for Marcus because he lives about 20 minutes from me. Homeboy.

The reality is the X Factor got its most dramatic moment of the season, Rachel Crow got her Disney contract, any anyone who takes these "reality" shows seriously need to get a get a real life.

I don't think that Rachel was gtted because she "lost" or had the lowest public votes. What I think hurt her was the FACT that she worked her hardest and clearly was the best in the sing off. Marcus was in the bottom 3 times in a row. That was a hard lesson, undeserved for anyone to take- do your best, be the best and then in the end when it is up to someone else who has other motives than honesty, to have your efforts go unrecognized.

No worries though. Rachel will make more in her first deal with Disney or Nick, and far more than any one left who will win. I mean really, Chris or Marcus? to win? Ha, they are dated wannabe's as is Melanie who has more talent than the boys left. I was rooting for Leroy Bell, and will follow him and Rachel where ever they go. As for the rest... Nahhhhhh

[LeeLoPink]

I totally agree with what you say about Rachel. BUT I gotta defend Chris - I love him!

I also liked Leroy, and I like Melanie, too...but there's really something about Chris.

So what if Marcus was in the Bottom 2 Three Time in a row... It was clear two of those times he still had more Viewers Votes. And Rachel may have been good in the sing off but who wants to listening to her boring self for another week... Don't sing good when your life is on the line, which she and LeRoy Bell while boring use when they should have been trying the hardest.

What a cheesy farce... These judges are all embarrassments. Too bad the talent suffers the negative spotlight the cheesy judges create for ratings. After all, its FOX who has years of experience sensationalizing everything they do just to get ratings. They're loving all the attention their getting right now. Drama queens deluxe.

Talent Suffers, REALLY.. Rachel Signs with Disney... Astro signs with Jay Z, and has been everywhere including. http://www.accesshollywood.com/glam-slam/astro-introduces-his-friends-what-do-they-think-of-his-x-factor-stint_video_1373352

It wasn't Rachel these two, ahem, "ladies", voted against--it was Simon! They played with the contestant's careers for their own petty jealousies and egos. The two of them make me sick!

[justwaitandsee]

10:39 PM on 12/13/2011

Yeah they played her career right into a New Disney Contract.

Hold on a minute. You mean this was all an act? I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.

Well Nicole, I don't know if I should feel bad for ya if Paula tells you to jump off a ten story building. Only blame the one you see in the mirror.
But in the long run, the non-winners seems to always make it bigger than the actual winners. Like Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, etc.

Adam Lambert? lol

[mdlawyer2]

03:20 PM on 12/13/2011

Lambert's first album "For Your Entertainment", was released in November 2009, and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 in December 2009, selling 198,000 copies in the United States in the first week. As of January 2011, it had sold more than 1.2 million copies worldwide. Meanwhile AI's season 8's winner, Kris Allen, released his debut album that has sold around 275,000 copies. 1.2 million seems a lot better than 275,000, lol?

Yes Adam, what's so d@mn funny about that?
Can you say that your bank account equals his bank account?
