So why has Amaro been so out of view? According to a source, the 19-year-old British Virgin Islands native has been ordered to undergo a sort of pop star boot camp that involves a strict regiment of exercise and monitored nutrition. “L.A. Reid is adamant that Melanie get thinner so he’s hired a trainer for her, has her on a strict diet and checks in personally every day to see how much weight she’s lost,” says an insider, who says Amaro is also seeing an etiquette coach (an Epic representative denies the claim). "When she comes back, it will be a whole new Melanie Amaro.”

LA told me, you'll be a pop star... all you have to change, is everything you are.

Bitch was fat on TXF too so why change now.

Welcome to Hollywood Melanie. Jennifer Hudson did it and look at her career now. It's the reality of the business.

LA said "BITCH... no release date until you shed 30 lbs!"

[DynamiteD1VA]

Always Being compared to damn Britney Spears. She's so pretty, that just ain't me

She waited too long now. There's no way she will have any kind of huge, mainstream success. I'm sorry, I like Melanie, but it's the truth.

She just needs to get toned up, she can be big but not chubby. Maybe he's making her a new Bey? That could explain it.

I hope they don't wait until the live shows of the second season (Novemberish) to release her album like they normally do in the UK.

Is this the reason why Xtina hasn't released new music?

[TheGeoKing]

She's already over anyway.

[annashaus]

Not surprised. It's Simon and LA we're talking about.

They probably will. The first single will come in September and the album will come in November.

It's going to flop, though. And it's a ****ing shame because she is so talented.

You must not know how XF works. LOL she won't be back on till the next series. Oh and examples of how wrong your theory is: Alexandra Burke and Leona Lewis. Both had huge success when they returned. it's all about the music. If you hammer it and it's good people will buy it.

Not fair to say since she hasn't released anything. Plus when XF comes back on she SHOULD have something released and have a good amount of promo. Judge then.

And this is just stupid from LA.

That's the UK. This is America. Most of America has already forgotten about her because there was literally nothing after the show ended. Yeah, most contestants wait awhile, but we didn't even get a winner's single. The only thing she's released is a cover of "Respect" for a commercial.
