Melanie Amaro Pepsi Commercial: 'X Factor' Winner Takes Fans Behind the Scenes of Super Bowl Segment (VIDEO)

It's hard to believe that a few months ago, Melanie Amaro was just another average teenage. Fastforward to now and the 'The X Factor' winner has signed a $5 million dollar recording contract with Epic Records, and has a Pepsi commercial debuting at the Super Bowl this weekend!

Naturally Melanie is beyond excited, so it's no big surprise that she and Pepsi have just released a teaser video, giving fans a behind the scenes look at the epic commercial.

In the YouTube visuals, Melanie is dressed in a medieval costume for what appears to be a palace-themed advertisement. Joining Melanie in the commercial is none other than Sir Elton John. Random ... but awesome!

"She's got the personality [fitting] of a great live artist," Elton says of his co-star. "She oozes personality ... you can see it just by talking to her. She's cheeky ... she's fun."

Being the savvy lady that she is, Melanie planned on taking full advantage of her time with musical icon John. "I will ask for some tips as to how in the world he sold that many albums," Melanie spills in the video.

"Not every day people are able to do the things that I'm doing now," a reflective Mel says. "So I feel really fortunate and blessed to follow in the footsteps of big stars. The Super Bowl is viewed everywhere. To have that is really, really big. Somebody pinch me!"

UPDATE (Feb. 3): Melanie's full Pepsi commercial has hit the web! Watch her sing Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' in front of the ruthless "King" Elton below!

Melanie Amaro is phoney and boring. I'm so sick of her alters I don't know what to do. At first she was this shy singer with an American accent, then weeks later, she had a mini breakdown on X-Factor cause she just had to be true to herself, because she was tired of hiding the "real her"....so she declared the Amercican accent wasn't her real one...that she really speaks with an island accent. Now she's back to the American one. On top of all that, this commercial plain SUCKS. Go away Melanie Amaro. No one wants to hear your boring songs except your family.
