After a season of tear jerking and grueling competition, The X-Factor U.S. is coming to an end this week.
Creator Simon Cowell made this show quite historic by offering the largest guaranteed prize in television history: $5 million.
From live auditions to boot camp, to performing in front of the likes of Pharrell and Rihanna and thousands of people, this season was definitely entertainment filled.

Being open to solo artists and vocal groups aged 12 and above, with no upper age limit, X-Factor US was a refreshing getaway from our own American Idol and reunited two of our country’s favorite rivals, Simon and Paula Abdul.
Aside from the millions of dollars and celebrities, X-Factor debuted great talent, such as 15-year-old rapper from Brooklyn, Astro, 13-year-old sweetheart with a voice filled with soul Rachel Crow and R&B crooner Marcus Canty, who kept millions of viewers in front their televisions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for months.

Now it is down to three finalists, Melanie Amaro, Chris Rene and Josh Krajcik, who will battle it out for the last time on tonight’s show for a chance to win the $5 million and contract tomorrow night.
To add to the festivities, it was just revealed that Justin Bieber, Leona Lewis, Pitbull and Ne-Yo have all been booked to perform on Wednesday’s finale. The finalists will each sing a duet with a surprise act, two of whom are still in negotiations to be added to the show’s setlist.
