After the Top 5 most shocking moments of the season, Leona was introduced by Rachel Crow, who was ready to take over Steve Jones’ hosting duties. Yep, Steve should be scared because that 13 year-old is already a better host than he can ever be.

JBieber was kind of boring and annoying. Stevie Wonder is the true star, shinning brighter than any other star in the X factor sky. Bye Stevie. Justin starts singing his rendition of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.” There’s a whole lot of dancing around on stage.

Finally Justin calls X Factor contestant, Drew Ryniewicz, who is a big Belieber, to the stage and she sings the last line. They hug it out. It’s all pretty cute. Drew is too excited. Justin says Drew is a very special girl and she will go far. Drew was just shaking at that point.

The Cry-Off between judges/mentors, Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul, was probably the most hilarious moment of the night at the “The X Factor” finale live results show on Thursday (December 22)- watch video below.

OMG. I think I cried from laughing too hard. Amazing. Of course Nicole Scherzinger won with that ridiculous meltdown when Rachel Crow was eliminated. What I found even funnier about the whole thing is that Paula tries to comfort Nicole.

Paula tells Nicole: “It’s okay. She’s [Rachel] got a job at Nickelodeon.” LMAO. And for some reason, Nicole cries even harder. It’s okay Nicole, Rachel’s got a job at Disney too! In no time, Rachel will be richer than you. She’s already more popular. Cheer up!

“Heroes” is one of those timeless songs. And Melanie and Josh sounded pretty damn good together. Unfortunately, only one of them would be going away with the $5 million dollar recording contract. The two exchange a hug and “I love you’s” at the end of their performance. Aw.

Merry Christmas!

Josh Krajcik brought the holiday spirit to the X stage with an incredible rendition of “Please Come Home For Christmas” by the great Charles Brown during “The X Factor” finale live results show on Thursday (December 22)- watch video below.

The wonderful Josh Krajcik indeed. This guy is such a wonderful singer, artist, person. Unfortunately, Josh didn’t take the crown, but he was the most incredible runner-up in history of talent shows. Okay, I might be exaggerating a bit, but I love Josh’s voice and his rock soul.

Simon Cowell said you can’t put a cap on talent and Josh perfectly represented the “over 30’s” category. The judge also predicted Josh would sell a lot of records in the future. Hopefully, Simon has something up his sleeve for Josh. Please. I’ll buy whatever Josh is selling.

Thank you Chris Rene for basically butchering a classic like “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” during “The X Factor” finale live results show on Thursday (December 22)- watch video below.

Chris, the Grinch who stole one of the most beautiful Christmas songs. Don’t get me wrong. I think Chris is creative and talented, but he is not a song singer, if you know what I mean. I just wished he had taken a huge risk by including his own rhymes.

The judges all loved it because they were most likely given great amounts of booze before the show started just to help them relax. Chris finished in 3rd place and will have no problem finding someone who wants to sign him since he is probably the most marketable of the final three.

Diva Melanie Amaro, who was crowned the first winner of “The X Factor” USA, kicked off the holiday-themed performances with her rendition of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” during “The X Factor” finale live results show on Thursday (December 22)- watch video below.

Can you say predictable? Melanie delivered a flawless yet pretty unoriginal performance of the holiday classic. I was half expecting Mariah Carey to show up on stage, but that never happened. A Mariah and Melanie sing-off would have been pretty exciting.

Instead of Mariah, we got Justin Bieber and Ne-Yo, which was kind of disappointing for a show that was supposed to bring out and create superstars. The biggest star on that stage was Stevie Wonder, and he was only there to accompany JBieber. What a joke!

The winner of the first season of The X Factor USA will be crowned during a special results show on Thursday (December 22). Melanie Amaro, Chris Rene and Josh Krajcik are the three final contestants competing for the $5 million recording deal and a chance to be the star of a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial next year.

The X Factor USA Big Finale: Who Should Win? (POLL)

Who Should Win? And Who Will Win?

Melanie Amaro has proven to be the best singer in the competition, but she lacks a certain “je ne sais quois” that an X Factor winner should have. The diva will most likely take the crown tonight. Chris Rene might have no chance.

On the other hand, Josh Krajcik (my favorite!) is super talented and the one who would benefit the most if crowned the X Factor winner. The soulful rocker is not exactly a commercial artist, but there’s a niche for him. Chris and Melanie could be easily manufactured.

This will be a very long night with a very difficult decision. Bumpshack readers also believe Melanie will be winner (approximately 40%). Chris and Josh are named the winners by approximately 30% each (check Bumpshack‘s poll here). Close call. Tough decision.

Julianne Moore (as Sarah Palin) and Ed Harris (as John McCain) star in a TV movie called “Game Change”, which is based on the book of the same title by journalists John Heilemann and Mark Halperin (watch movie trailer below).

“Game Change” directed by Jay Roach centers on the Republican Party struggle during the 2008 Presidential Election. McCain’s advisor Steve Schmidt, played by Woody Harrelson, convinced the Presidential candidate to create a “game changer” to win – a woman, Sarah Palin!

Obviously, Julianne’s portrait of Sarah Palin is drawing attention to this movie. And does Julianne play a believable Palin? There aren’t even words to describe how wonderfully Julianne plays Palin and she only says one line in the new trailer released by HBO. Amazing.

“Game Change” premieres on March 2012.

Dave Haywood is out of the market, ladies! Lady Antebellum’s 29 year-old musician is officially engaged to marry to his girlfriend Kelli Cashiola, after he surprised her with a romantically corny proposal on Monday (December 19).

After picking Kelli up at her Nashville office, Dave reportedly made her wear a blindfold on their way home and guided her to the front door where a string of Christmas lights read “Will you marry me?”

Dave and Kelli, the VP of marketing/brand management for Warner Music Nashville, have been friends for more than five years, but they only came out as a couple last month. Even through the lovebirds haven’t set a date yet, they are expected to marry after fellow bandmate Hilary Scott and Chris Tyrrell’s wedding this spring.
