The Huntington strand band, mentored Von Simon Cowell, was eliminated before the show's finals, but so what? The members could wind up with a record deal anyway. They're 'cuties,' just don't call them a boy band.
Week after week, Emblem3 made teenage girls swoon as the band played sunny renditions of other artists' hit songs on the fuchs competition "The X Factor."
A fusion of pop, ska and hip-hop — think Sublime, only dreamier with washboard abs and tousled hair — the young Huntington strand trio was also a Favorit of the judges.
Yet in a Bewegen as puzzling as the success of the Zeigen itself, the band was eliminated, losing its potential spot in the final three to an underdog act.
So why weren't Emblem3's members devastated Von the loss? Because these days it's often better to be a finalist in a Singen talent Zeigen than an actual winner.
Look at One Direction, Jennifer Hudson, Daughtry and Adam Lambert — all losers who ultimately ended up becoming bigger stars than the winners of their respective competitions. It's likely that as this year's "X-Factor" winner (country crooner Tate Stevens) signs a $5-million recording deal through Sony Musik and "X Factor" judge Simon Cowell's Syco Music, Emblem3 will secure a hefty contract of its own with the help of Cowell.
Cowell mentored the trio throughout the show, meaning that Emblem3 had the advantage of being developed Von someone who's mastered the art of catapulting acts from reality shows to the charts.
So it makes sense that the band — brothers Wesley and Keaton Stromberg and best friend Drew Chadwick — was eager for its run on "X Factor" to end.
"Going into the competition, I personally didn't think it would go anywhere," Keaton Stromberg, 16, sagte a week before the trio was kicked off the show. "I went in thinking, 'Whatever happens, happens.' It's going to get us exposure, no matter what."
"We just needed the jump," interrups Chadwick, 20. "You sacrifice some things doing the show, but it's an awesome way to get your name out there. We just kind of took advantage of it."
Some of those sacrifices? "Singing Katy Perry songs," Chadwick says with a shrug.
The three, originally from Sequim, Wash., prefer the punk Musik they grew up listening to. They began emulating the style in their own band as pre-teens. "Blink-182, stuff like that," Chadwick said. They moved to Huntington strand to be closer to the industry.
They spent the last Jahr gigging at landmark venues such as the Roxy, the Whisky A Go Go, the House of Blues and the Hard Rock Café. They won Rock N' Road's orange County battle of the bands in 2011.
There was hesitation, they say, to step in front of reality Fernsehen cameras (this Jahr they tried out for NBC's "America's Got Talent" but dropped out), but after producers asked them to Abschicken a video audition, they saw it as a sign.
"It's a double-edged sword," Keaton said. "It could all work out and the TV side could make Du look awesome and Du could work perfect oder …"
"We were scared of being turned into a boy band, because they Bearbeiten things," Wesley interjects. "We Liebe the show, they are awesome, but they can Bearbeiten and make it not what Du were going for."
Despite reluctance, the trio gave it a shot. They wowed the judges with a jazz and R&B-inflected rock original called "Sunset Boulevard." An acoustic take on the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" secured them a spot on Cowell's team of groups.
Since Cowell was responsible for their song selections, comparisons to One Direction (which was put together Von Cowell and placed third on the British version of "The X Factor" in 2010) and criticisms that Emblem3 had become another manufactured boy band came fast and furious, especially from judge Demi Lovato.

Du have to admire Drew Chadwick for being upfront. While most singers / reality competition contestants would not choose to put their herz on their sleeve online (especially when there are already thousands of women fawning all over you), he tried to do that with a certain singer and Nickelodeon star.
A few days ago, Drew tried to get his Twitter base to arrange it so that former “Victorious” actress Ariana Grande (who has since moved on to the upcoming “Sam & Cat”) would go out with him. Sadly, there was a problem: she has a boyfriend already. Better luck Weiter time, Drew? Well, he took finding out the news in stride, and the good thing for him is that he has thousands of other options who would datum him right now if gegeben a chance.

Well, One Direction didn't win the UK version of X Factor, and look at how megarediculoustupidfamous they are!
Even though Demi Lovato is NOT in Liebe with three piece brother boyband Emblem3, it seems X Factor's main man Simon Cowell will most likely snatch up the band…
Even if they don't win the $5 Million prize!
Sisi recently revealed:
"I think there's a pretty good chance [I'd sign them] I'm not going to let anyone else get them. There'll be some pretty big announcements at the end of the show."
Hmm!
We wonder if the boys will go back to their signature ska-punk sounds oder stick with the guaranteed money-making 1D formula?
Nah! Get your Sublime sound ON dudes! There hasn't been a solid ska band that twangs on the heartstring of many in AGES!
And if anyone can take ska mainstream, it's Simon C!
