UCF students Alex Kinsey and Sierra Deaton, both 22, have won the Fox TV show ‘The X-Factor” along with a $1 million dollar recording contract.
Deaton, a recent graduate of UCF, and Kinsey, a senior at UCF, performed “All I Want For Christmas is You” and “Love Me Again” as their final songs. The duo’s mentor was Simon Cowell who continually praised the couple and said it has been an education for him since he has never worked with artists like them.
The duo are the only ‘X-Factor’ contestants to hit No. 1 on the iTunes Top 100 chart with their cover versions of A Great Big World’s “Say Something” and Sara Bareilles’ “Gravity”.
