Melanie Amaro first earned “respect” when she was crowned the first winner of The X Factor (which, don’t know if you’ve heard, is going through some growing pains at the moment). After signing a $5 million contract with Epic Records, Melanie has also landed a starring role in a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial. In it, Sir Elton John plays a tyrannical king who doesn’t let his people drink Pepsi. Melanie saves the day by belting out Aretha Franklin’s classic, and blows Elton down to the chamber below, releasing Pepsi for all! Watch it after the jump.
