Melanie Amaro

In just a few months, Melanie Amaro has gone from aspiring artist to mega star, Simon Cowell protégée, and, oh, yeah…millionaire.

The crooner has an amazing voice, and it’s earned her the title of first ever U.S. X-Factor winner. Amaro now has tons of fans across the world, and her popularity will undoubtedly only continue to soar. Just look what happened to Kelly Clarkson.
X-Factor just crowned it’s first ever US winner last night and now Melanie Amaro is $5 million richer and on her way to her first ever record deal.

But how will she spend that $5 million? Buy a new car? Buy a new face? Buy a Zoo?!

No, Melanie Amaro wants to buy a lifetime supply of chicken, as in the eating kind, and not the petting kind.

The best part about maybe getting fired from The X Factor, is that you can ask out a former Pussycat Doll. It was reported that host Steve Jones was getting fired from the X-Factor, and then reports said that no decision had been made about next season either way.

However, The X Factor host (who crowned winner Melanie Amaro last night) says if he does get axed from the show, he’ll use it as an opportunity to ask out judge Nicole Scherzinger.
After a long, exciting and drama filled season, the US version of X-Factor finally crowned its first winner tonight.

During part I of Wednesday night’s season finale, Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene were the last three remaining contestants. But in the end there was only one man standing…or one woman. Crowd favorite Melanie Amaro was crowned the first winner of X-Factor, scoring a $5 million dollar recording contract.
