This week, we said goodbye to not one but TWO outstanding performers. And while we were sad to see Omotayo (and Monet) go home, the big guy wants you guys to know he's not ready to give up on his dream. Hear what Big Sexy's been doing since the show and find out why he's lookin' to drop an album (and become your brand-new cuddle buddy!) ASAP.
I definitely didn't want to go home. It was really challenging to compete against people of other genres when most of the songs I performed were out of my comfort zone. But it is what it is, and I am grateful that Diddy chose me out of thousands of singers to compete on Starmaker.
I don't feel bad about getting cut because if I had to choose someone other than me to win, it would have been between one of the singers still in the house. I have lots of love for each and every contestants on the show and learned a lot from being in their presence. I hope to work with them down the road, when all's said and done.
The judges may have given me the boot, but you damn sure ain't seen the last of Big Sexy!!! I'm recording my first album as a solo artist and am planning on releasing a single in the near future!! Thank you to all my fans that have sent support and love to me and my daughter along the way. I've been dreaming of singing my whole life and you all make me believe my dreams can be real!!! Much LUV!!! So, bye bye for now...until we meet again!!!
P.S. I'm single ladies, so if you looking for someone to cuddle up with, Holla at Big Sexy!!! 
The loudest singers aren't always the ones who make the biggest splash. Over the course of the Starmaker season, we've seen everything from quiet successes to high-profile burnouts, and learned that everyone (including the judges) has the potential to surprise us. And now that we're down to only six singers, we thought we'd hit you with our final three predictions and find out who you think will be the last one standing.

Diddy's always been a hard man to impress and tonight he showed the Starmaker contestants a little bit of tough love. After watching the final eight perform, he had negative words for almost everyone, calling Omotayo out for his weight, dissing Liz's "old lady" dress and telling former favorites Todd and David B. they still had a long way to go.
+ Think the Bad Boy was a little harsh? Or were his critiques right on the money? Take the poll and tell us whether Diddy was tough, but fair -- or completely out of control.
Big Sexy may not have Beyonce's dance moves but we thought he killed it tonight with "Irreplaceable." But while Diddy admitted Omotayo has pipes, he seemed a lot more concerned with the dude's weight! According to Puff? Omotayo needs to stop worrying about his voice and start worrying about his health. And while we'd love to see the big man in tip-top shape, we're not sure what Omotayo's size has to do with his ability to sing.
Think Omotayo's weight should be a factor in this competition? Or should the judges be looking solely at vocal ability, stage presence and charisma? Take the poll and tell us whether you think Omotayo needs to scale it down.
Competition doesn't always have to be cutthroat. And while we're not impressed by the girls' cattiness (enough with the Monet-bashing, ladies!), we're starting to wonder whether the guys are getting along a little TOO well. First, Omotayo gets all choked up over how much he loves his new Starmaker friends, then David lets Zach have "Stop and Stare" just cuz he kinda sorta looks like that dude from OneRepublic.
So do the guys deserve props for their sportsmanship? Or is it time they stopped acting like a team? Take our poll and tell us whether these boys are here to make friends -- or take home the title!
There was a lot of talent on the Starmaker stage tonight, but in the end, the judges singled out David B. and Melody as the evening's top two performers. And as much as we enjoyed their sets (particular Mel's electrifying vershe of Pink's "So What"), we're not 100% sure we agree.
