Following the Win of Melanie Amaro, lets review and look back at why she deserves to win and see if you have what it takes to win.
Just a recap of the video announcing her win.
And the song she song that lead her to securing the Victory Votes
And Now for the Winners Traits
Winner always delivers and shows consistency: She was never once in the bottom 2 during the contest.
Winners cherish every single opportunity right in front of them and hold onto it tightly, with her as the only contestant who was eliminated and revived prior to standing on the Live Stage Performance as she decides to accept Simon’s apologize and return to the competition.
Winners will conceal and reveal their true self only when the time is ripe, whereby in the above video playback of a segment she sang in her real voice with her unique slang that in the past was actually teased of it.
Confidence is something that winners have and they need to constantly strengthen that confidence in order to improve their performance and deliver results in order to receive positive feedback, recognition & acknowledge from fellow judges who’s supporting their own contestants.
Winners will not crack under pressure and instant will turn it to their advantage and deliver stunning performance by over-delivering on what is expected of them. Referencing to the night where the the top few contestants have to sing their “Save Me Song” instead of the pre-planned “Pepsi Song” with only 24 hours to practice.
In the most last few recent episodes of The X Factor USA, we have seen quite a couple of roller coaster ride eliminations as the competition get fiercer by the week as it moves into the semi-finals.
Yesterday it proved and validated a point on a question which majority if not all of the ladies who aspires to succeed and win respect plus recognition from the gentlemen fail to understand the reasons to why they don’t know what the reason is to the question.
It was when Nicole Scherzinger made was unable to make the decision in her capacity as a judge when the decision power is in her hands, that she give up and let the public (America) decide who to eliminate and push onto the semi-finals round, between Rachel Crow and Marcus Canty.
In difficult times, leaders are equipped with a winners mindset, they have great foresight, and they accept, admit their mistakes immediately and moves forward without any regrets, but Nicole being a singer only, and not as a production like Simon Cowell nor L.A Reid, did not understand this point clearly in the video, evident the moment she went into shock and started crying herself as a judge, being consoled by Paula Abdul.
Below are a couple of reasons to summarize why women cannot overtake men unless they are able to be responsible for their own actions.
1. Be consistent
2. Stick to your own principles
3. You must immediately MAKE a SWIFT DECISION | Go with your gut feeling, not emotions
4. Don’t ever regret over your choices, admit your mistake immediately only if it goes against you | “Don’t cry over spilled milk” | Do Soul Reflection Immediately
5. Learn to face the music | What must come will come, no point hiding or avoiding it when it is a task we have to take even if it is a unpopular decision. > Learning to take responsibility and live with it.
Why Ladies Cannot Overtake Men (since history to-date)
Disclaimer: The following are just examples which I use as reference to showcase why ladies can’t beat the glass ceiling as there’s such a saying and it’s my own opinion from a business perspective. I hope you (whoever is readying) will learn from other people’s mistakes and learn from it.
- Consistency : Nicole failed to practice this point, as she was able to cast a vote last week to send Drew Ryniewicz back but not Rachel Crow.
- Stick to your principles: Nicole as a judge in X Factor didn’t stick to her principles in terms of judging and compromise on her voting rights as a judge.
- Making a decision fast: Both Paula and Nicole have caused X Factor elimination results to go into deadlock before, which shows that winners must be able to do just that, look at Simon, he made a mistake with Drew, and immediately beg for help when at the voting in public at the live show instead of whispering into their ears nor avoiding the mic.
- No regrets: It was Rachel who show us a positive side of her when she said to Nicole prior to her casting the decisive vote: “Please don’t cry, I will go with anything” that shows that Rachel is mentally mature to accept whatever comes to her, and indeed she did, after her elimination and crying, in the interview she was still cheerful and ready to move on to the next stage of her life. She repeated console Nicole again at the backstage.
- Face the music: Paula did a good job in this aspect, despite receiving death threats from last week’s elimination of Drew, she still take it in her pride and cast the vote as part of the rights of a judge to send send Rachel home this week (yesterday), unlike Nicole who might be new and inexperienced as a judge to waver and move towards the majority’s decision to gain acceptance in bid to reduce criticism, something that winners should never do, avoiding, but she did.
I hope the above post might give you real insights to the minds of a winner with real life examples.
To sum up, to be a winner, you must first associate yourself with winners who’s being there and done that. Both Drew and Rachel are already winners in their own fields and they were very positive despite their X Factor Loss. Here’s an interview of Drew for your reading, while Rachel is meeting up with Disney.
When you give in all your best, you will be appreciated and opportunities will come one way or another.
