Nicole Scherzinger has been blamed for causing Rachel Crow's elimination on "The X Factor (US)", but it now appears that she could share the responsibility of the outcome with Paula Abdul. TMZ has just released a video which reveals that the former girlfriend of Lewis Hamilton got an advice from her fellow female judge before making a decision on the top 5 result show.
In their short interaction before Nicole made the deciding vote, Paula was caught whispering to her fellow judge, "Just let it go to a deadlock." After stressing that she did not want to send Rachel home, the teary "Don't Hold Your Breath" singer had to vote off the 13-year-old girl to send it to a deadlock, which meant America's votes would determine the result.
As it has been known, Rachel got a lower number of votes than the other bottom-two placer, Marcus Canty. Thus, the pint-sized singer was sent packing from the singing competition last week, causing her fans outraged.
Having no hard feelings against Nicole, Rachel has since asked her supporters to stop making hateful messages to the former member of The Pussycat Dolls. Simon Cowell also defended the 33-year-old beauty by saying, "No question, if she knew Rachel was going to be in the bottom, she would've gone the other way."
