Jennel backtracks, says Demi changed her for the worst!
Quote:
After Jennel’s shocking elimination from ‘The X Factor’ on Nov. 15, 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. Do you think Demi was a poor mentor to Jennel? 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.”
Meow! Jennel told HollywoodLife.com, “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.”
Wow – Jennel is so open about her disappointment with Demi’s choices. While she says she trusted her mentor, she seems to be leaving the blame for her elimination in Demi’s hands. Is this fair?
Jennel, in spite of the outcome, says that this is not the end for her. “My voice is going to be heard. I’m going to fight for what I’ve worked for my whole life.” We wish you luck, but whatever you do next Jennel, just don’t bite the hand that fed you! What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think it is Demi’s fault that Jennel went home? Should Jennel be blaming Demi?

She deserved the boot,tbh but I felt Demi gave her a song that was so unlike her. STILL, Nick Youngerman or Willie Jones could've done better than this ho.

well from what she says it's clearly not just the mentor who makes the song choice. she said EVERYONE thought proud mary was better for her, so it wasn't just demi.

Wow, that was right up her alley. I think starting from next season the contestants should have the final say on song choice.

Demi has quite a knack for sabotaging her recruits. You Oughta Know would have been a perfect song for Jennel.

Yes, sis. Imagine Beatrice singing "Rape Me" during a divas week.

Wow, You Oughta Know would've definitely worked well for her.
I still can't believe she went home.

Many of the contestants were hesitant upon learning what songs they’d be performing, including her teammate Arin Ray (Madonna’s “Crazy For You”) and Lyric 145 (Katy Perry’s “ET” and Queen’s “We Will Rock You”) and Jennel Garcia (Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary”).
“I hated it!,” Garcia told THR earlier this week. “I remember walking into the vocal room and the guys were kinda playing it on the guitar and I was like, ‘I feel bad for whoever is singing that song.’ And they were like, ‘Oh, it’s yours.’ I was like, ‘Oh, well… Damn!’ I was so mad. But you know, we changed it in a way so it could sound like my song.”
[...] THR learned that many of the contestants spent very little time working with their actual mentors. Each song is initially selected by producers, and the contestants’ respective mentors enter the process only one or two days before showtime. At that point, it’s worth noting, many mentors (or producers) will hit their contestants with a change in song just one day, or sometimes only hours, before broadcast. Sometimes the swaps are due to licensing problems, other times, creative differences.

Demi has nothing to do with this. The producers are the ones who choose songs. Judges prentend to because they're asked to, but apparently they're not the ones really picking songs, and they're barely "mentoring" their contestants.

I like Jannel.
These kids need to stop blaming their mentors, if they were so "talented" they would kill every song handed to them. The mentors can only do so much, they aren't in their throat's controlling their voice's.

The producers pick the set first because not every song will be available. You can't just have LA walking in their saying " I want you to sing Return To Innocence" when they don't have the rights or license to do it.
Simon already said each mentor gets a set of pre-approved songs that they get to pick from. And sometimes the contestants, like Lyric145 did Movie Week, get to pick their own. It's no different than American Idol, they have a songbook that you have to choose from.
And the article failed to mention that the reason mentors come in two days before performances,is cause that is when the acts come in to, they only have two to three days to rehearse.

No Beatrice is actually the one saying it sis, in that article

Quote:
I didn't like it when I performed it, but I mean, I hope that didn't show,” she said. That didn’t come as a surprise to her mentor, Britney Spears, who advised the 13-year-old to soldier through it despite her lukewarm -- make that ice cold -- response to the ballad, which Miller said was assigned to her by producers, not Spears. Miller said she was informed of the theme five minutes before she met with the show's team of voice coaches last week.
“Britney knew that I hated my song this week, but you know, she just said, 'Get through it and just try to connect with the song,' " Miller revealed. "I don't think it really mattered to her that I didn't like it."

Garcia agrees that it's best to view the elimination as a new beginning. "It's time for me to show the world who I am," Garcia says. "Coming into this competition I lost myself. But I was looking for a place to grow and someone to guide me. And I feel like Demi guided me."

"I think she feels the same way I do," Garcia says of Lovato. "It's a little bit frustrating when you know what goes on behind the scenes, and I know she's really upset over it. I'm just glad that she believed in me so much."

Meaning, the only truth in the article you posted is about her not being entirely happy with the song choice.
