Drew

Drew (born Drew Ryniewicz on January 7, 1997) is an American pop/R&B singer from Chino Valley, Arizona who was a contestant on season 1 of The X-Factor, mentored by Simon Cowell. She wowed the judges at her audition with a rearranged version of the Justin Bieber hit "Baby" and progressed to the live shows. Her soulful voice, considered mature for someone her age, cute personality, and funky sense of style made her both a fan favorite and a possible contender to win. However, she had been criticized, mainly by judge LA Reid, for being "boring" and "sounding the same every week", resulting in arguing between him and Cowell.
===Elimination===
Despite being a fan favorite, Drew was eliminated on December 1, 2011, finishing in 6th place. Her elimination caused an outrage as well as anger from both the public and her mentor Simon Cowell.
===Support from Justin Bieber===
Following her elimination, pop superstar Justin Bieber sent Drew words of support and encouragement via Twitter. Drew even got an early Christmas present, the chance to perform with Bieber, who is also her idol, at the finale on Decmeber 22, 2011 where he very clearly charmed her by hugging her, spinning her around and even kissing her hand.
==Post X-Factor==
Since her elimination, Drew has continued to entertain and delight her fans with videos of her singing various covers of different songs on her YouTube channel.
