Eliminated Jennel Garcia says Demi turned her into something she wasn't



After Jennel’s shocking elimination from ‘The X Factor’, she vowed that it’s ‘time for me to show the world who I really am.’ Distraught, she admitted she felt Demi turned her into something she wasn’t and audiences didn’t like it. 

Jennel Garcia became the latest victim to get the ax from The X Factor, as the judges chose to save Paige Thomas instead of her after a dramatic sing off. Jennel, who has vowed to pursue her dream of becoming a star, says that she now wants to shake off the image that she was given by her mentor Demi Lovato, as she feels she “was letting Demi do what she wanted. “The makeup; the hair; the heels; that wasn’t necessarily me and I was letting Demi do what she wanted, and I was going to listen to her no matter what because she’s my mentor and I trust her.”

Jennel also regrets not pushing Demi more on the song choice of “Proud Mary,” which she believes is the reason why she was went home. “I really put up a fight about singing ‘Proud Mary’ because the other song we were working on was ‘You Oughta Know’ by Alanis Morissette, which is way more me than ‘Proud Mary,’ but everyone disagreed and said ‘Proud Mary’ was the one. Clearly it was not, so I was right. I should’ve stuck up for myself more. I should have given them a piece of my mind, much more than I did, but I didn’t because I wanted to be good and cooperative.”

Well she didn't lie.... I'm going to miss her.

I still don't understand how a flop who has barely had a career, let alone hit records is a mentor.

her second album went to #1, her first peaked at #2 and her most recent one at #4
she's not a flop

Because they can't get relevant artists to do talent show judging gigs (aside from Blake and Adam on the Voice and Nicki on Idol)

tbf adam was so irrelevant until he was on the voice, his band's star was faded

ceelo and christina aren't relevant? Britney isn't relevant? keith urban or whoever the fuck is the new idol judge isn't relevant? giiirl

lol this has been hashed out here on ONTD for-fucking-EVER.

Compared to Katy, Riri, Gaga, Nicky, no, Britney is not relevant.

Christina, relevant? Check out Lotus's projected sales and get back to me.

We're talking RELEVANCY here, not name recognition.

And Cee-Lo was struggling as a solo artist FOR YEARS (even got dropped by his label at one point) before he stuck it lucky with Fuck You. And what's he done since?

No one gives a shit about Britney's albums tho. It's the best work she can get.

are you saying britney isn't relevant or...?

mte. when your main selling point is that you went to rehab then you obviously have no place to mentor and judge others on if they have the x-factor.
patito18 19th-Nov-2012 12:24 am (UTC)
the only reason why people know her name is because she went to rehab...even L.A reid didnt know who she was last season...
cityxpretty 19th-Nov-2012 02:05 am (UTC)
Really? Oop....

So 2 #1 albums, multiple top ten hits on Billboard, and a #1 platinum song on pop radio = flopping, good to know

Being a Disney-backed fad with no artistic input is not mentor material tho. They post-rehab "personal" crap songs were hyped to the max by the fact that she had a really ugly nervous breakdown. That she's allowed to coach anyone in anything is mindboggling.
