I have not had a featured artist for a while, mostly due to not finding any talent worth sharing but alas the US version of X-factor (the little known show that gave the world Leona Lewis) has provided us all with a refreshing new talent.
My new inspiration comes in the form of 19 year old Florida native Melanie Amaro. In her first live show she sang Whitney Houstons "Ï have nothing", the song is somewhat of a reality singing competition favourite albeit a rather difficult song to sing, Melanie however killed it! predictably so though as her voice is typically RnB inclined however she received great comments from the judges and the music media in general. Her shining moment however came the following week when she took on The Eagles classic hit "Desperado" and brought the proverbial house down!!!
I definitely think Melanie is someone to look out for in the future whether she wins the competition or not. Stonewinner entertainment is thus fully backing Ms Amaro for the final, well that and countless albums of good quality music (a boy can dream okay)!
On that note fellow male contestant Marcus Canty is not to be discounted in any way and deserves to be in that final with Melanie, but you will be reading more about him in due course...
The link to her performance of Desperado is below for your listening pleasure:
