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.

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.

compared to katy, riri, gaga, nicki, britney still has more name recognition with the general public

girl has been relevant since she started up, and it has never really calmed down all that much for her. her biggest radio hits came with her most recent album. britney is definitely relevant and your comment is a lie.

Like I said, I'm not talking about name recognition. I'm talking about CURRENT relevancy.

Never calmed down for her? Yeah, if you have a stan's mentality. From someone looking at FF's album sales, or the ticket sales from that tour, however...
licorrice 19th-Nov-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
lmao how does name recognition not factor into relevancy? that's ridiculous, and sorry, but it doesn't take a stan mentality to see that just because femme fatale had lower album sales, doesn't mean her radio hits weren't still hits. people still want to hear her, she's relevant.
heart_of_butter 19th-Nov-2012 01:15 am (UTC)
lol okay so why didn't people want to see her in concert?

And don't tell me it's because they know she lip synchs. She's ALWAYS done that but the majority of her shows had plenty of empty seats.

I mean, if you think that 2012 Britney has exactly the same amount of relevancy and public interest as 2002 Britney...I mean, I really have no words. Please, by all means, go on living in your own little world.

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...?
heart_of_butter 19th-Nov-2012 12:41 am (UTC)
The only people she is relevant to are in their 20's now and grew up with her in their early teens. She still has the name recognition and the brand, but to say that public interest in her is the same as, say, Gaga or Rihanna would be a major fallacy.

lol this delusion

you're trying too hard
ts231 19th-Nov-2012 02:01 am (UTC)
