'The X Factor': Melanie Amaro Sings Whitney Houston

Melanie Amaro was a last minute addition to Simon Cowell's lineup, putting him 1 contest over the 4-contestant maximum. Simon made a great choice in Melanie because she brought the house down with the Whitney Houston song, I Have Nothing. All the judges had to choose 1 contestant to send home except for Simon who had to send 2 girls home. Simon insisted that he had not made up his mind until that last moment about whom should go home. Simon kept Drew, Rachel Crow and in a surprise move, as characterized by Simon himself, Melanie Amaro is safe to move on to the audience voting stage.
