Nicole Scherzinger Owns Up To Controversial Rachel Crow Decision
Posted on Dec 13, 2011 @ 12:30PM
The judges from The X Factor -- Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul -- appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Monday, where the gorgeous ex-Pussycat Doll "owned [up to her] decision" to defer the vote of Rachel Crow to viewers, who promptly sent the emotional 13-year-old home.
"It's crazy, because in the moment and under pressure, it's not as easy to just be like, 'Hey, this what I'm going to do and you're going home' and you have to say, 'I'm sending you home,'" the Jai Ho singer told Kimmel. "I owned the decision that I made right then."
Scherzinger added, "I'm really happy for Rachel because I think she has a deal with Disney now."
As we previously reported, Crow landed in the bottom two with Marcus Canty, and could have been saved by Scherzinger. Instead, she put it in the hands of the audience. After Crow's elimination was announced, the young girl was devastated by the defeat, falling to the ground and crying hysterically to her mother, who jumped onto the stage to console her.

Cowell said the drama officially ends when the curtain rises on this week's edition of the Fox hit.
"It all starts again this week," Cowell said. "Clean sheet. There won't be any of that nonsense anymore."
Josh Krajcik, Melanie Amaro, Chris Rene, and Canty remain in the running when The X Factor returns on Fox Wednesday at 8/7c.

Nicole is as narcissistic and diva like as Kim Kardashian. They both only think about themselves and make everything about themselves, always promoting only themselves in their every word and act.

Kill me. I remember seeing both Britney Spears and Aaliyah when they lost on "Star Search" years ago.
They handled themselves with dignity. Someone give that kid a prozac.

Rachel should have been sent home long ago.

She is all about ME, MYSELF & I. If she had the guts to make her own decision instead of asking someone else to do it for her, she would have somewhat redeemed herself. She shouldn't be surprised at how people reacted. She asked for it.
