Trio of X Factor Finalists Land Record Deal

The X Factor may have crowned Melanie Amaro as its first champion, but that talented singer isn’t the only contestant to benefit from her time on the show. Sources confirm that Josh Krajcik, Chris Rene and Astro will all sign recording contracts with Sony Music, encouraging news for the second, third and seventh place finishers, respectively. Astro – Show Me What You Got Krajcik, of course, quickly became a fan favorite after viewers both heard his soulful voice and learned he had been working at a fast food Mexican restaurant. Rene, meanwhile, earned a large fan base due to his dancing and energy on stage, while Astro – real name: Brian Bradley – was the most controversial crooner on the show, a rapping savant with a cocky attitude that turned off many viewers. We wish all the very best of luck!

Jacob Lusk on American Idol Elimination: My Bad…

I messed up. So Jacob Lusk says about his final performance on American Idol , a rendition of “No Air” that got the soulful singer eliminated from season 10 this week. “I take full responsibility for my choices,” Lusk tells TV Guide in an elimination interview , opening up about his experience on the show and the cover that resulted in him going home. A few more excerpts are below… On feeling the pressure : I was getting a little tired, probably. And really trying to do different things, do something that really wasn’t my thing. This wasn’t the time to do that. I didn’t really have the greatest performance on Wednesday, and that’s why I was sent home. On conflicting advice : I definitely got some contradictory advice, but at the end of the day, it’s up to me to be myself. When you’re great, you’re great. And nobody can argue with that. On post-Idol plans : My primary focus is doing an album. I’d like to look into some theater, Broadway. You’re gonna hear some traditional R&B, which I feel is missing from the scene. There aren’t any Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye singers out there. There’s a lot of pop, bubble-gum, but not a lot of R&B. And that’s what I bring naturally. I don’t have to try to do that.
