Melanie’s vocals might have been flawless, but that performance was not even close to resembling rock. L.A. Reid loved Melanie, but said that was so not rock. Nicole Scherzinger wanted to cry because she always cries when she hears that song, but that didn’t happen this time. Boo hoo!

Paula Abdul claimed Melanie took them to a rock church. Simon Cowell was very proud of Melanie, saying she reminded him of Adele and Alicia Keys. L.A. retorted: “Adele and Alicia are rock now?” Simon told him to call R.E.M. and tell them they are not a rock band. That was not the point!
