And the Winner of X-Factors Season 3 is.............. Alex & Sierra!

It’s always refreshing to see all of the contestants together again. The opening song was good. I didn’t pay much attention to it though; I was just ready to get the results out of the way instantly (laugh out loud). I was extremely anxious to see who would be crowned the winner out of the three remaining acts..

What I admire about Carlito Olivero is his persistence and the big heart he has. Since day 1 of his journey, you could tell that he was kid with a rough past that really wanted this opportunity. He needed this life changing experience, not only for himself, but for his family, and for that reason I could only give all of my respect to him. Carlito is a very ambitious young man, and with that ambition of his, he can obtain anything he desires. If anyone can’t see that, they’re blind as a bat. In my opinion, Carlito deserves to win the most.

Jeff Gutt is the other act in the final that I think deserves to win this competition. As it’s been stated and shown, he’s attempted to get his career off the ground with the motivation of his son’s wellbeing on his shoulders. You can tell he truly loves his son more than ANYTHING else existing, and nothing could get in the way of that. He is what you call a true single Father. For that, he gets my respect as well.

Throughout this competition Alex & Sierra have really grown, not just as singers, but as a couple. Just by observing them, you can tell that they genuinely love each other. But it takes a bit more than love to win the competition and to have a successfully career after the fact. As I have stated previously, I like them a lot, but, I do not think they should win. They are good, but not worth a ‘1 Million Dollar Recording Contract’. Everyone can’t win this competition, and in my opinion, it shouldn’t be them.

I loved Mary J. Blige’s performance. It was a different scene from what I’m use to seeing her do. I really liked that Jazz performance she did. It was a different shift that I’d like to see more of in her career.  As for Leona Lewis’s performance, it was very fun and flirty. I just wished she had showed more of her powerhouse voice in the song she sang. Ke$ha and Pitbull, it was okay, I enjoyed looking at the sexy models, but i would have liked to see Ke$ha actually there, instead of on the screen (laugh out loud). As for One Direction, whatever, I’m tired of talking about that dry boy band, no disrespect to the fans out there but they are so overrated.

After it was all said and done, Carlito ended up being the first to fall short, leaving Jeff and Alex & Sierra to go head to head over the title.  At this point, I was rooting for Jeff to take to the title, and long and behold Alex & Sierra was crowned the winner! Yes, I am not happy about the results, but I am not going to hate. I wish Alex and Sierra the best. I hope they have much success as a couple, and for their career. Congrats to them.

I really enjoyed going back and forth with you guys during this X-Factor process, thanks for all of the support and love you guys have shown on my blog, see you guys next season…

P.S. I’ll be blogging on American Idol, as usual, so to the AI fans see you soon. : )
