[QUOTE=InfamousJoks;288495]I'm not a big Drew fan, and I still think Astro needs to go; along with Chris Rene, and [B]Rachel Crow[/B] Don't make this a race issue..[/QUOTE] Really? I think she is great! She will be big :)

Weekly ratings again. 1. [B]Josh[/B] - Can he give a bad performance? I don't think so. 2. [B]Melanie[/B] - Same as Josh. What I really liked was after her performance she showed she was a person not just a great voice. 3. [B]Marcus[/B] - Maybe it's cause I love that song but I really liked his performance top notch. Finally seemed like a great performance rather than just a number. 4. [B]Drew[/B] - Such a great song choice for her, she hits the vocals so uniquely I love it. 5. [B]Rachel[/B] - Inspiring story. I kind of remember her for her background rather then tonights performance but tonight was still good. 6. [B]Lakoda Rayne[/B] - Taylor Swift/Lakoda just fits. Their vocals were a bit off but I still think it was great. Sad thing is I can bet a million dollars they'll be one of the two. And at least the 3 bottom acts :((. 7. [B]Astro[/B] - Okay I get it. He can make 30 second verses. Can we move on from that? He's creative. But singing is more talent to me than having a bad attitude and making short verses and not even remembering the chorus of the songs he's singing. He can't do anything different it sucks. 8. [B]Chris Rene[/B] - Tired of the "Young Homie" performance it's being drawn out to much other than that performance he doesn't have much to offer. He's a great street singer but not talent show singer. 9. [B]Leroy[/B] - I like Leroy overall seems like a nice guy. And he doesn't do anything wrong per say. But he doesn't do anything right either. He's on the boring side. I don't know how much it matter but the 3 lowest likes on the youtube videos are Lakoda Rayne, Marcus Canty and Leroy Bell. The video with most likes is Astro -___- But he also has the most dislikes on his videos with Drew is far second.

Last night's show was so formualic. As much as I love Marcus Canty, that song choice was cheesy. I hate that song anyway.

So glad LR went home but I could put up another week with them than the Drew reject. So pathetic yet so rigged.

Astro not talented? Get over yourself he's 14, has a lot of growing up to do plus he made the final 10. That speaks volumes alone. And nobody is throwing anything. [QUOTE=RMD1;288497]I actually am a Drew fan. I was also an Astro fan until him and his mother acted like children and wanted to quit. Quitters do NOT deserve to win. And what are you talking about?? Pushing white girls? There is one white girl and one white girl group and they are both great singers and don't throw temper tantrums. Astro is not as talented as half of the people on that stage. Even is he was, his attitude sucks and he will go no where in life if he keeps that up.[/QUOTE]

This is a competition show, no need to hit on others opinions. People can cheer who they want to cheer for. To each their own.

My rankings: 1.Drew 2.Chris 3.Melanie 4.Rachel 5.Josh 6.Marcus 7.Astro I really dislike how L.A Reid picked one style of boys and didn't choose a variety.

Astro is not talented at all, he cant even sing, he wont be successful. He will get hype from his poor attitude and fade, probably end up in jail with the way he thinks and acts. What a baby. So sad Lakoda Rayne got eliminated, I thought they had potential. I love that they were a girl group that didnt feel the need to dress skanky to get attention. LeRoy's elimination was long overdue. Astro needs to go next, followed by Chris and Marcus. I cant believe people would actually support the childish, immature, disrespectful behavior that has been shown by Astro.

There is no need to change one competitor's name into a swear just because you don't like them. Please stop.

I'm done watching this show. Lakoda Rayne went home over Astro yeah this show is biased for Astro. Not to mention the ratings actually went down because of his antics. Yeah plan backfired

[QUOTE=TSPKM2;288596]Astro is not talented at all, he cant even sing, he wont be successful. . [/QUOTE] Thats because he is a rapper, dude. He isn't Drake, YC or Kirko Bangz where he is required to sing. And he's 14. How do you know he won't be successful? And now that I think about it, the should've used a variety of the boys so yeah you're right. And to the other guy who cares if the ratings went down. I seriously doubt its due to him. Haters to the left, please.

I really hope L.A. isn't a judge on season 2. He is probably the most biased judge on the show. He picks on Drew for the littlest things just because he knows she is his biggest threat.

I love Drew! She seems like such a sweet girl! I want either her or Chris to win! I really can't stand LA. He's so unfair to Drew! I think Astro is an amazing artist, but Just like Kanye West I'll never buy any of his music. I refuse to support anyone with that attitude.

Drew is so boring. Its the same slow boring song week after week. Astro is so talented, I was so disappointed in him last week. Chris Rene sucks. Marcus, Rachel, and Nicole's Guy will be F3 hopefully

If Mel doesn't win, or at least makes top 2, something is wrong.

I will be shocked if Rachel, Chris(has a big fanbase), Josh, and Melanie aren't the top 4. I think Josh has a higher chance to win than Melanie. One of those 2 have to win or I lose hope in the world.

Astro sings about the same things each week, he has no variety. Its annoying that the people on here give Drew **** for doing the same style of music each week and then praise Astro for what he did, because not only does he do the same style, but he uses the same words and same concepts each time. I agree with whoever said L.A shouldnt be back for the next season, he isnt being a "judge" he is being a competitor, he is trying to win this for himself as a "mentor" rather than giving the proper critique to each talent. He knows Drew is the one to beat, and she will beat all of his acts. I would not be surprised to see all 3 of L.A's acts go one by one by one, cause Chris and Marcus suck too.

Except I think Marcus is somewhat good not enough to win but semi good. But to be a successful teen you have to either be Disney and or appeal to young teen girls. Astro is neither. And to have a bad attitude on that? I'm not saying he completely won't be big. But I don't see it happening but it could happen. But look at all the famous teens that are either Disney, Nick, or appeal to young girls. Justin Beiber, Victorious, Miranda off iCarly, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez. But young girls don't like Astro because he's cocky, arrogant, and unrelatable as you stated. He has some good verses but I don't see him getting too big off Xfactor maybe I'm wrong but he has soooo much hate right now I don't see it being possible. And L.A. HAS to be off the show next season or I'm not watching because it's becoming unbearable to see him acting so childish. I also think Steve Jones should be replaced. Those 2 need to go! But I am starting to agree that Drew needs to change it up a bit. It seems like the more L.A. is critizing her the more Drew won't change for Simon and that could hurt her.

[QUOTE=InfamousJoks;288639]If Mel doesn't win, or at least makes top 2, something is wrong.[/QUOTE] We already have a Beyonce, a Rihanna, a Mary J Blige, a Faith Evans, a Keyshia Cole, a Mariah Carey, an Alicia Keys. You want another carbon copy of one of these people. A generic one at that.

If you said that about Kanye West a mob would arrive outside your house. Your attitude is hardly relevant to your talent. #4 You have been fixated with the mentality that, the only teen "music" stars are from Disney. How do you explain Justin Bieber? Diggy Simmons? Odd Future? Big Sean? Moving on: Astro has to write a new song every week, does Drew? No. Drew has no excuse to struggle with having versatility. But regardless, the concept that Astro writes to, is one that he can relate to and seem authentic for his fan base. You obviously haven't listened to his lyrics in his performance, he actually has some amazing punch lines. Drew can't really sing (and that's all she's good for), Chris Rene and Astro could write music forever... Marcus is highly overrated, I agree. [QUOTE=Seannnn;288638]Drew is so boring. Its the same slow boring song week after week. Astro is so talented, I was so disappointed in him last week. Chris Rene sucks. Marcus, Rachel, and Nicole's Guy will be F3 hopefully[/QUOTE] Chris Rene is probably in the top 3 in terms of "Best Recording Artist" on the show, feel free to listen to his music before you actually judge him. All of the judges acknowledge that while he is not vocally the best, but when it's passed through a filter in the studio he is one of the best.

The ****? How do you guys know that young girls don't like Astro. That right there just simply blows my mind.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;288648]The ****? How do you guys know that young girls don't like Astro. That right there just simply blows my mind.[/QUOTE] I don't even think astro is going for the "young girl" demo. The problem with him is that he thinks he is an adult, but still acts like a child. Can he rap? Yes. I just don't think he can find an audience to relate with and that is his main problem. Well that and his attitude.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;288648]The ****? How do you guys know that young girls don't like Astro. That right there just simply blows my mind.[/QUOTE] Show me a tweet or something that a teen girl tweets about how "cute" he is. But I guess it would be hard to get a teen girl following when you look like Franklin The Turtle.

[QUOTE=LaneV95;288654]Show me a tweet or something that a teen girl tweets about how "cute" he is.

I don't see how it's even relevant what he looks like or his female following.

[QUOTE=LaneV95;288654]Show me a tweet or something that a teen girl tweets about how "cute" he is. But I guess it would be hard to get a teen girl following when you look like Franklin The Turtle.[/QUOTE] Lol!!! "Franklin The Turtle"

[QUOTE=infamous;288656]Astro is an MC. I don't see how it's even relevant what he looks like or his female following.[/QUOTE] To be famous as a teen you need to usually have that female and usually teen females following. I don't see a whole lot of 30/40 plus people buying Astro's music.

I think Astro will be great in 5-10 years. However, I don't think he'll make it long enough in the music industry to reach his full potential. That attitude is gonna kill him. You can't even blame it on age, because Drew and Rachel are around his age and they have never acted out like that. Drew, who's 1 year older, defended herself earlier this week without throwing a little temper tantrum about it. I'd love to see Astro grow up and do well, but I just don't see it happening.

Astro as an MC puts a lot of effort into his writing, and based on the performance that landed him in the bottom 2 over everyone else, I would be mad too.

I hope he has to pay the fine that he got for the network.

I think you guys are giving Astro to much credit. He writes lyrics that yeah I'll admit are clever but he raps them for about 30 seconds overall and just used the chorus the most part.

Welcome to Hip Hop and no he's not the only one to have done that.
