Simon Cowell: Ellona, now in Top 6 can win X Factor Season 3


Ellona Santiago earned a standing ovation from all four judges - Kelly Rowland, Paulina Rubio, Demi Lovato and Simon Cowell with her performance of Jessie J's Mamma Knows Best during the Top 8 episode and Big Band Week of The X Factor on Wednesday night, November 27.


"You may now have a chance, after that performance Ellona, of actually winning this whole show," Simon Cowell said. With her rendition of "Burn" last week, Ellona received a not-so-good  comment from Cowell who described her as a "dancing puppet". This week, she was the top performer based on votes from the Judges.

Judges’ comments:  Ellona Santiago sang “Mama Knows Best”  by Jessie J. – Kelly said: “That was your best performance since you have been here.”  Paulina said: “I am a big fan of yours and I love that you are in command.  You are a superstar.”  Simon said,  “I did not say you were a Muppet, I said you were a puppet last week.  This week it was a game changer.  Next week lose the dancers.  You are an incredible singer, fantastic choice of song.”  Demi said, “Ellona  I could not be more proud of you.  Your story touched so many people, I  am really really thankful for you.  I agree with Simon, you could win this competition.”

Ellona performed the impressive rendition in honor of her eldest sister Julie Rose who was diagnosed of Stage 4 Cancer. Her next performance will happen on December 4.
