"X Factor USA winner Melanie Amaro&amp;#039;s Pepsi Super Bowl commercial will feature Sir Elton John. Amaro won the chance to appear in the soft drinks giant&amp;#039;s commercial when she triumphed on the first season finale of The X Factor in December.  The teenager, who was mentored by Simon Cowell, also took home a $5 million recording contract, later signing to Epic Records.   Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about the commercial, she said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m a singing princess warrior [and] I have to try to get the entire kingdom some of the sacred treasure, and the sacred treasure is, of course, Pepsi.  &amp;quot;I have to go through the talent part of the being in front of the king at his court [to get the treasure], and my talent was, of course, to sing. So I sing, I blow his mind, and I get everybody to have some of the Pepsi.&amp;quot; John will play the king in the commercial.  He told Good Morning America this week: &amp;quot;I always think it&amp;#039;s hard being a talent show winner. It&amp;#039;s too much fame at once. There will be a constant barrage of interviews, press photographs, publicity photographs. &amp;quot;I used to love that but I also had the experience to back it up with and that&amp;#039;s vital. I think to be thrust into the limelight on television you then have to learn your trade on stage. We did it the other way around.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Elton John advises Madonna to lip-synch at Super Bowl Amaro previously said that she was excited to be following in the footsteps of previous Pepsi Super Bowl commercial stars, saying: &amp;quot;So many big people like Mariah and Britney did it, Beyonc\u00E9 did it... and then after them will be &amp;#039;Melanie Amaro did it&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;I feel blessed and so grateful to be in a commercial, especially for Pepsi, and I feel that I&amp;#039;m following in the footsteps of those great divas.&amp;quot;  Fellow X Factor contestant Stacy Francis recently tweeted to followers that she had seen Amaro&amp;#039;s commercial and promised fans that they wouldn&amp;#039;t be disappointed.  In a message to Amaro, she said: &amp;quot;Saw your commericial!! HOT HOT HOT!! CONGRATS!!!... the world is going to gag... can&amp;#039;t wait for the world to see u! xox (sic)&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s full X Factor headlines "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
