WATCH: Chris Rene Blows Away “The X Factor” Judges

VIDEO

(Fox)

Chris Rene is a 28-year-old single dad and garbage collector.

He’s been sober for 70 days, having battled addictions to cocaine and methamphetamine and just gotten out of rehab.

He also might wind up winning “The X Factor.”

Rene blew away the judges with his original song “Young Homie,” leading L.A. Reid to invoke Kanye West and Jay-Z, while Simon Cowell remarked, “My favorite feeling in the world is when I sit in this chair and I meet a star for the first time.”

What do you think of Chris Rene?

  • Jenniferl Thomas

    what’s going on wih the video???

  • Deepdimples57

    It was a tear jerker from the moment he opened his mouth to speak about his recovery to promising Simon that he will stay straight. I am continually sending prayers up for this young brotha! This was by far the best audition in all of X Factor and Idol. I love his spirit, humbleness and loved his performance. I loved the energy between Chris and his brother, and you can tell that they are just good people! Incredible!!! I’m watching this young man’s career, and am definitely supporting him. I don’t purchase CDs anymore, but I will be buying his stuff!

  • Buyeragentforyou

    The best is yet to come.. Prayers to keep his spirit up and holy….

  • Bobbyjones287

    wow I to am in recovery that was something else.He’s going to help a lot of addicts.go chris

  • Tendheartangel

    I cried listening to this young man’s story and his talent. He is a inspiration, and I think he has the strength, determination, and motivation to stay clean and make it in this world. I wish I could have him talk to my 22-year-old son, who thinks marijuana and alcohol are the answer to everything. GO CHRIS!!!!!

  • Angelicaboyd50

    OMG!!!! I think it was the best audition I have seen on any of these singing shows. I know he is going to be huge!!!!

  • Country Girl

    I am not a fan of this genre of music BUT….this young man was FANTASTIC! – making me like this music. Amazing talent – likeable guy – I wish him all the best. You GO CHRIS!!

  • Hunnybun702

    Chris Rene is someone who I will pray for, to win it all. I watched him over and over. I cried the first time… rewind and felt it in my soul the 10 times I watched it after. Chris radiates passion. A truly talented individual. Chris … one day at a time. Ask God everyday for serenity. Ask him to grant you the serenity to accept the things you can not change. The courage to change the things that you can and the wisdom to know the difference. I wish you all the success in your recovery. Remember that there is no music, life, or peace if your recovery isn’t number one! Good luck you are amazing!

    It took real BALLS to get up on stage and be honest about his life AND to sing an original song to boot! HE IS FANTASTIC and a hip hop star of the future, he fits right in if you ask me, half of them have been to rehab and written some fantastic material from being there! GO CHRIS YOU ROCK BABY! I hope you win for you and your son.

  • Jotanjotan

    I have watched this video, no less than 10 times so far. I love the tone of his voice, his demeanor and his story. There are millions of people out there just like Chris. Maybe one or two, will look at this video and Chris’s story. It may inspire them to look at themselves, and what god has put ahead of them, if only they would reach for it.

    You GO Chris!!!
    Ill be watching you.r

  • Holly

    Very well said, I feel the exact same way as you do. I hope he will stay clean and give us his music, we need his smile, his carisma, and his humbleness. I wish him all the luck and pray for this young man, I will definitly be his fan and buye his C.D.’s.

  • RescueIsPossible<3

    I am a recovering drug addict. I know as many of you have said it has inspired you. This song he wrote is easy for me to relate to. He too, is inspiring me to stay clean. Rehab changes you, whether it’s for better or worse. I’m trying to figure out my life and I’m only 15.

    Not everyone gets second chances… but I have. And so has Chrise Rene. I can tell you right now that he is going to be known even he doesn’t win the “X Factor”.

  • RescueIsPossible

    I’m not trying to creep, but you said you were in recovery? I am in recovery too. I don’t know about you but this guy is inspiring me to stay clean.

    -Sincerely,

    Julie

  • Yvonne Smit

    Totally agree! Whether or not Chris wins the XFactor, he’s already won. Millions are eager to buy his music. I don’t listen to this kind of music but Chris’s story about his struggles, failures, falling but refusing to stay down, his honesty and likeability transcends music. People everywhere, black, white, green and in-between can relate to him. Like most of us, he wants to do the right thing for himself and his family. I wish him the best life has to offer.

  • Seanwhy1983

    This guy has amazing talent and I also wish nothing, but the best for this guy. I read every comment and not one person said they didn’t like him or his music. His Story should give a different outlook on everybodys life, good job Chris!!! Im pulling for you to win the show and if not you have already one. I will see you at the top and listen to you on all the Top 40 radio stations across the nation.

    When I first heard Chris Rene audition I said to my sister, let’s give him the money and the prize already.This young man has all of the attributes to be a really big star. what do you think of him as a participant? He is someone to watch.

  • Yvonne

    Chris is the total package. He’s talented, honest about where he has been, is and wants to be, he’s humble, and his story appeals to everyone regardless of sex, race, age or national origin. The last time I checked Chris had close to 6Million reviews from people around the globe. Whether or not he wins the competition, he will most definitely become a very successful artist. My God bless him and his family.

  • Ortiz Luz1

    We all need to support Chris Rene if he is going to win the show. It is very important that all of Chris fans stay on the alert and vote, vote, vote. He needs our support and at the same time we give him the strength to continue. Chris is the all around winner! Lets show him how much we care for him!

  • http://www.facebook.com/CAK4452 Casey Larney

    WHO are you people listening to? He has the worst voice on X-Factor and its not a feel sorry for me contest. I am not trying to be mean but WOW!!! Is America that deaf? Great story my ass…Rachel had no choice, her mom was an addict and she was born an addict BUT she didnt do drugs. Marcus was raised by a single mother and HE never started. In my opinion, getting in a wreck where you could have killed innocent people and then the court ordering rehab is NOT

    o man Chris Rene is amazing!!!! too bad he didn’t win the X Factor though…either way I still think he’s gonna get a good recording deal from LA reid…o yeah!
