Did Filipino-American Nicole Scherzinger make a crucial mistake with voting Rachel Crow off X-Factor?




If you didn't watch last night's X-Factor competition, then you missed out on why our Pinay sister Nicole Scherzinger is receiving so much drama and heat for her voting decision. The last vote came upon Nicole. She voted for the young and soulful Rachel Crow. Nicole's attitude was torn and unsure about her decision. By doing so she put the competition in a deadlock. As a result the final votes came down to the viewers. The viewers chose Marcus Canty and Rachel had the lowest votes. She was now voted off the show.

While Rachel was voted off the show, she cried drastically and wailed like someone was shot on stage. Beforehand, Rachel displayed pure confidence on stage. That's what made her so appealing at times.

As a result, Nicole is getting lots of media and fan hate for what most people feel is that she ruined Rachel's future. Now did Nicole really intend that or was it planned all along? Conspiracy theorists say it might of been planned out.

But here's my personal debate.....if Rachel can't handle being voted off how can she handle getting rejected by business people and the general public. She may be a great singer, but her confidence will soon be ruined when reality hits here. In my opinion, it was good she got voted off. That way this experience will give her strength. She needs to achieve failure before really achieving. We all fall so that we can learn to get right back up, right?

So while many people "hate" on Nicole for her voting decision she should be commended. Why? She gave Rachel what true Pinays struggle with everyday; the ups and downs of life. Nicole gave her a dose of what a music career entails. 

Now remember Nicole is a hard worker......she's an inspiration to most and a strong Pinay. Her Filipino-American blood and heritage has helped her overcome many career obstacles. She never gives up. Personally, I think it was her way of giving Rachel an experience that Nicole probably experienced way too many times.

All in all, viewers are forgetting it wasn't Nicole that sent her home, but America didn't give her enough votes to stay on the show.

So....what do you think? I'm curious! Post your comments...thanks!
