Recent X Factor USA cast-off Drew Ryniewicz says she believes her life is “only going to get better” following her elimination last week.

The 14-year-old was sent home in the double elimination results show after signing off against Marcus Canty.

Ryniewicz told Fox All Access: “I wish I would have done something upbeat. I believe I could have won if I'd really showed how versatile I could be. That was a mistake made not only by Simon [Cowell] - I know he took the blame - but also by me. I should have fought and fought and fought for what I wanted to do.

American Idol alum Kelly Clarkson and singer Bruno Mars will both make appearances this week on The X Factor USA.

Clarkson will debut her new single ‘What Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger)’ on the results episode this week while Mars will perform ‘It Will Rain’ from the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 soundtrack.

This week will see two acts leave the competition in a special double elimination, which has been a mainstay in the original UK version for a while now.

X Factor act Astro has apologised for his behaviour on last week’s results show.

The young rapper placed in the bottom two with Stacy Francis, who was eventually eliminated, and was criticised for acting poorly.

The 15-year-old stated that he didn’t want to perform again for people who did not want him before giving a lacklustre performance.

X Factor USA contestant Stacy Francis believes she is getting the raw deal from Simon Cowell on the show.

The Nicole Scherzinger-mentored singer was blasted by Cowell after her performance of Meat Loaf’s ‘It’s All Coming Back To Me Now’ on this week’s rock-themed episode. Cowell described the performance as something he "would expect someone to sing at the Hilton Hotel with people turning their backs, eating peanuts".

Francis admitted that while it was not the best week for her, she just wanted him to be fair.

Rihanna has been confirmed to perform on The X Factor USA this week.

The singer will return to the series for the Thursday, November 17 results episode where she is rumoured to be performing her track ‘We Found Love’.

Rihanna made an appearance on the series earlier this year during the judges’ houses stage where she helped out L.A. Reid and his boys’ category.

X Factor USA act Lakoda Rayne believe they are in the competition for a reason after narrowly surviving last week’s elimination.

The four-piece girl group placed in the bottom two alongside Stereo Hoggz, who the judges voted to send home.

Speaking with Fox All Access afterwards, member Cari Fletcher said: "It's been hard because we've never really been used to getting so much feedback from people, and you're not always going to get good feedback.

Paula Abdul's groups have been severely punished so far on the first season of the X Factor USA.  For the two eliminations so far, it's only been the groups who have failed to garner enough votes to keep them out of the bottom two.

Next week, it will be different though.  In the meantime, here is something else you might like to cast a vote for.
