Who should become the first winner of The X Factor USA? The Top 3 contestants, Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik and Chris Rene, will take the stage one more time in their last opportunity to convince America they deserve win the competition on Wednesday night (December 21).

The final three contestants are very different artists. Melanie (Team Simon Cowell – Girls) is the diva with incredible vocal power, Josh (Team Nicole Scherzinger – Over 30’s) is the talented hobo/rocker with a raspy voice, and Chris (Team L.A. Reid – Boys) came straight out of rehab to show off his rhymes.

Who’s your winner? I’m forced to admit Melanie is the best singer in the competition, but she lacks a certain “je ne sais quoi,” while Chris has a whole lot of charisma. I’m personally rooting for Josh because he is simply amazing, however I don’t think he can win because he is a more mature and less commercial type of artist.

The X Factor USA winner will walk out with a $5 million recording contract and star in a Pepsi commercial, which will air during the Super Bowl XLVI on NBC. The winner will be announced during the big final results show on Thursday (December 22).
