The X Factor judge Simon Cowell called contestant Melanie Amaro “brilliant” and “bloody fantastic,” and the 19-year-old singer deserves every bit of praise. She’s belted out songs by Whitney and Mariah, and she is the only female left in the competition. On tonight’s finals, Amaro will compete for the $5 million prize against Chris Rene and Josh Krajcik. While we can’t wait to hear her sing, we also can’t wait to see what she’ll wear! We chatted with the X Factor style team—hair stylist Ken Paves (left) and makeup artist Kristofer Buckle (right)—to get all the details about Amaro’s style transformation. Find out her secrets in the gallery now.

Melanie should win and Josh be runner up. Chris has a style but not that great of a voice although his voice is unique and he could improve greatly over time with the right voice coach. But!!! like American Idol it turns into a personality thing instead of a great singing voice. I hope all three get signed and have a great future. So, I’m pulling for Melanie

I am so happy that Melanie won!. She has a FANTASTIC voice and I can’t wait to buy her albums. I am so very thankful that Simon got her back, as I am sure he is also! I really couldn’t believe it when he sent her home! Glad you got her
back Simon. I also love Josh and wish him all the best. I would love to buy his albums too. I live close to Wooster and have seen the signs posted around town for Josh. Hope all goes well for you too Josh. You also have an amazing voice.

Very Sincerely,
Sandy

I like X factor, I’m from the Indian Ocean area, and we are still watching the 1st season of X-Factory, I’m happy to learn that Melanie won it, I’m sad that Rachel, Josh and Chris didn’t but this is the challenge and only one could win.

You all were so sweet and performant. Rachel was the youngest and sweetest and not winning should not be a problem for you, this was a proof how a so sweet little girl arrived at the level you achieved ? I think you all should continue, and never stop.

Good Luck to you all!
