Stacy Francis and Astro were camped out at the very bottom of the 'X Factor' voting tally this week, but it was the rap dynamo Astro who prevailed while Francis was eliminated.

We agree with Nicole Scherzinger. We adore Stacy Francis as a person, but her performance of Meat Loaf's 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now,' left too much to be desired. At this point in the competition, Stacy has been spoiling us with high and long notes that proved to bring on the goosebumps at any given moment. Tonight was a different story.

Stacy Francis opened her 'X Factor' performance with behind-the-scenes footage saying she misses seeing her kids. Fortunately for her, if she keeps performing the way she did tonight, she'll be with them 24/7 again.
