Simon Cowell’s girl Melanie Amaro kicked off the show with a club version of Adele’s “Someone Like You” during a night with two rounds of performances (“club hit” and “save me” rounds) at the “The X-Factor” Top 5 live show on Wednesday (December 7)- watch video below.

Melanie delivered another vocally flawless performance and she is gaining confidence each week. On the other hand, I really didn’t think this remix of Adele’s song was that good. L.A. Reid thought it was great. Nicole Scherzinger said: “You’re a rock star diva!”

Paula Abdul noted Melanie looked absolutely stunning and happy, but complained her performance was too short. Simon Cowell was pleased, claiming Melanie changed completely when she revealed who she really is, thick accented and all. “You sound like a diva,” Simon said.
