Melissa Crystal O'Neil, born on the 12th of July, 1988[1], is a Canadian performer and actress. O'Neil, the first Canadian female winner of Canadian Idol's 3rd season, was the winner in 2005. O'Neil is primarily known as an actress due to her performances on Syfy as Two or Rebecca/ Portia Lin and on ABC as Officer Lucy Chen in the ABC procedural drama The Rookie. She was voted among the bottom three and two contestants were eliminated. Disappointed, the judges encouraged viewers to vote for contestants like Melissa, who clearly had the greatest vocal talent. O'Neil's performances were constantly praised and O'Neil did not slip back into the bottom three. Zack Werner, the judge, called O'Neil "a potential winner everything". O'Neil and Rex Goudie made it to the final two contestants of the competition on September 7 in 2005. After another impressive performance, Werner declared that "The King [Kalan Porter] is dead long live Queen". O'Neil defeated Goudie in the grand finale results ceremony on September 14, 2005. O'Neil was also crowned the third Canadian Idol and the first female winner.
