This 18-year old put gave us the audition of the (early) season last night, belting out Beyonce's "Listen," bringing Nicole Scherzinger to tears and prompting Simon Cowell to say: "When I was asked by people why I was bringing this show to America it was because I hoped we were going to find someone like you."Melanie Amaro certainly got off to an impressive start during her audition on Thursday's episode of The X Factor. Xander was nothing but pure sass, saying he wanted to be "the next Donald Trump meets Martha Stewart without the jail time, meets Britney Spears meets Beyonce without the ugly husband." Harsh!He didn't cool off his act in front of the judges either, dissing Simon Cowell and eventually getting them and the audience against him. His voice wasn't bad, but his attitude got him the boot.The college freshman, 18, brought her entire family along to hear her sing Beyoncé's "Listen" in front of judges Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid and new judge Nicole Scherzinger at Miami's United Bank Center. This was so good! Melanie Amaro auditions with 'Listen' by Beyonce on The X Factor Audition hq audio usa hd
