Melanie Amaro vs. Javier Colon vs. Scotty McCreery – The Sing-Off! – Who Wins?

American Idol · Reality TV · The X Factor · Javier Colon · Melanie Amaro · Poll · Scotty McCreery · Video

Last night, Simon Cowell tweeted that maybe the winner of The Voice, The X Factor and American Idol can compete in a “super final” — a SuperBowl if you will of the three singing competition shows.

Nigel Lythgoe, the producer of Idol, quickly shot the idea down because his show produces “stars” (as if a competition like that would be beneath the franchise).

Well, sorry Nigel, nothing is going to stop us from doing it anyway. As a warm-up for this season, let’s use the winners of last year’s competitions for the first ever Voice-Idol-Factor-Sing-Off! Melanie Amaro vs. Javier Colon vs. Scotty McCreery? Who is your champion?

Here are videos of their “signature songs” on their respective shows plus a poll in the end. Later, I’m going to expand this to include the finalist from each program (maybe Top 4) so we can have an ultimate-ultimate winner (I think Haley Reinhart is going to win that one knowing you guys). But for now, just the winners – take the poll!

voice idol factor Melanie Amaro vs. Javier Colon vs. Scotty McCreery The Sing Off! Who Wins?

Scotty McCreery – “Baby Lock Dem Doors”

Javier Colon – “Time After Time”

Melanie Amaro – “Listen”

I vote for…

To all of you that think Scotty is incapable of noting else but country, watch the youtube videos of his concert in Lancaster and Mary don't you know Christmas song rendition, and his AI performances.... and then let's talk.... a good voice is not enough and this kid has proven it over and over with his success on AI and post AI. Just to quote Simon himself, his got the x factor....

@asookermany His vocal range/octave is very limited and this is a fact, not a disparagement. But he has good pitch and control. His voice is best suited for Country/Western.

melanie high note have the voice but not for me and not all people like this type of music and melanie donot have that it factor and scotty have that it factor. scotty not just country he cover all right mama-elvis,you got a friend,amazed, you always on my mind-elvis,gone,where were you-alan jackson, t-r-o-u-b-l-e -elvis, i vote for scotty i can listen to his song everyday since AI until now still listen replay and replay

simaikhaw

they already compete and they win now go outside and compete with actual sales of cd and charting not another competition. this is stupid. this is a plan of simon for publicity for his ownself. kelly clakson force to compete for world idol during simon times and kelly say it is stupid to compete again .

Melanie is just a screamer. Not a singer. There's a difference.

Javier - pretty voice but pedestrian.

Scotty - not the best voice but a true singer.

Melanie and Javier can't do what Scotty did:

Touching Tear Jerker: Letters from Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSGd6_HAETg

@Farseer Did ya see Melanie sing Desperado last season, a country tinged ballad?? Look for it and educate yourself. A screamer, not a singer. If I could only kick on here.

@Farseer

Love Scotty - didn't ever like Melanie and didn't watch Javier but I hope he got better as he went on cos the audition ain't great. Thanks for the links - I just relived some of the Scotty magic I'd forgotten about. The best ones seldom win the contests - in Scotty's case the best one won but not Melanie's.

This is hard. I didn't watch X-Factor, so I hadn't seen Melanie Amaro before. I also didn't know that song. She made me cry.

I watched Javier again and he gave me goosbumps.

Scotty has the charm, a great voice, and star power. Even though I don't like country music, it's difficult not to love him.

I guess I have to vote for Javier based on the song and musical style. By that, I mean that of the three, Javier is the only one whose music I would ever likely buy. I think if they were all three on the same show, I'd probably be supporting Javier, but I'd probably like the other two also.

@ddevlin11 Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning was a tear jerker for me.

Scotty as all the makings of a "star" as he has proven by breaking records constantly.

Mikhail XO moderator

@GailDrayton @ddevlin11 What "records" has he "broken"?

Mikhail XO moderator

@Kaylo @GailDrayton @ddevlin11 I'm not hating on him. I am jsut asking to see all of the records he is constantly breaking .You and Gail seem to stand by this comment yet have provided no evidence. Maybe Gail meant he was breaking old record albums.

Regardless Lombe, I rest my case.

Kaylo

@Mikhail XO @GailDrayton @ddevlin11

Typing Err.. I meant Two songs in the country top 40... Regardless stop hating on the Boy,,, He's a freaking star, and even without numbers he'd still be my idol... :-)

Mikhail XO moderator

@Kaylo @GailDrayton @ddevlin11 Your first one is not a "record" LOL! Your second one not only incomprehensible, is not searchable as a record, or a 'real record'. So to answer your question, yes, , stand by the statement and present the "records" he is "breaking constantly" as you have not made your case. Thanks.

I don't think there will ever be enough divas in this world. Even though people say there are plenty divas with big voices out there, when you hear a diva like Melanie sings, you always get goosebumps, without fail! I think people can only choose a winner among these three based on their preference of voice. I personally think that Javier overdid the song. And if I listen to voices like Scotty's on the radio, I would switch the channel immediately because it's too boring. And when I listen to Melanie's singing, I get goosebumps. Go Melanie!

I don't think that's a fair comparison - Scotty may not go as high as Melanie but she can't go as low as him - I like his low notes far better than her high ones.

Scotty by a long shot. He sings country because that is what he loves but he can cover whatever he wants. He might even be in a smaller genre than the others but he will outsell them 10 to 1. The others are talented just Scotty is better

@Rickey @Julie_Idol Because of the singing.. That kid is mad talented. There's singers like Javier (smooth voiced black guys singing soul) and Melanie(big voiced High Note-Hitting Diva's) all over the place, but Scotty's(Throw back deep voices country) so unique. I dont think i can name one artist like him out there.

@Kaylo @Rickey @Julie_Idol do you actually listen to country because you can definitely find a lot of singers who like him and are better to boot.

Talk about desperation from Simon Cowell. I guess he already knew that Melanie will not be the superstar he invisioned. He needs a gimmick to make sure Melanie will not be forgotten by the public.......I don't care if someone has an amazing voice.... what is important is the song itself. If the song sucks, you will not go anywhere. We have artists now a day who sound horrrible but yet they are popular because of the songs they sung.

To be honest, watching these auditions back to back, The Voice followed by The X Factor have clearly the superior audition format. American Idol still has the clout with a long-standing fan base, but this year is going to be very very interesting with these 3 reality singing shows.

@Rickey Just what I was thinking. Seeing these back to back I see why I LOVED the X Factor's audition process and for the first time in a decade SKIPPED Idol until Hollywood Week.

Javier is so lost in this shuffle. Scotty can sing but his range is very limiting. I don't usually go for the girl or the big, BIG voice---but there's just something about the earthy realness of Melanie that I am drawn to. Crown to Melanie.

Rickey moderator

@fuckhead I'm having such a hard time with these Voice videos. NBC has removed them all - I think Javier's might have affected you differently if you saw the backstory they aired before he sang just like for Melanie and Scotty.
