Final place to judges' homes is...
[ Whistling ]

It's the final day of boot
camp, and now we finally get to

say to contestants, "you're
the ones who've made it through

to the next round."

We've gotta tell some people
some good news, and we've got

to tell a lot of
people some bad news.

The categories this year,
we've split them into four.

We've got the teens, the young adults,
to , the over s, and the groups.

Four categories.

Only six acts in each category are
gonna go through to the next

stage of the competition, and
each category's gonna be

mentored by one of us judges.

Jennel Garcia.

I gotta bring them onstage now
in their categories, and out

of each line, six people will be
told good news, and the rest

are gonna go home.

[Chris Daughtry's
what about now]

The first category we're gonna
tell is the young adults.

Now, I'm petrified.

I-I don't wanna go home.

Just praying,
praying for my life.

This is one category where
we're gonna lose some really

good people.

Out of this group, six of you are
gonna make it through to the

next round of this competition.

My first audition in front
of the judges was crazy,

and it was probably the
best day of my life.

You have, like, such a cute

you're like, "I'm on fire."

Good.

I just wanted to give you, like, a

Mm-hmm.

You have such incredible
stage presence, but when I get

nervous onstage, I tend to
overdo certain movements,

and I can tell when you get a
little nervous 'cause you flip

your hair a little much.

Just a little bit
will be enough.

Thank you.

I'll see you later.

There is a lot of pressure for
me to perform really well today.

You excited or nervous?

Um, both at the same time.

I honestly got more nervous
talking to her. [Laughs]

It's just nerve-wracking when they
tell you what you need to work on...

Yeah.

Like, a couple minutes
before you go on.

I know I got what it takes, and I
know that I have the X Factor,

so hopefully this goes well
today, and I can get the nerves

out and give everything I
got because this is it.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have

talented people home.

It breaks my heart
that I have to.

So I just wanted to remind you
that, when you perform, you have

a lot of confidence onstage.

Like, you've got the attitude
thing down, you've got the

sassiness, you've got the rock
star quality inside of you.

And sometimes it borderlines
a little bit unlikable.

[Florence + the machine's howl]

My one fear is that I
would come across unlikable.

That's something that I've been
worried about this whole time

because I hide
behind all of this.

Um, just with, like, the
paint stuff, it's, um, um...

all of this emotion right
now is what's opening you up.

If you can put emotion into your
performance and people can see

how vulnerable you can get, that
is what will set you apart.

That's one of the most
special thing about being

invited to Demi's house is to
actually get that one-on-one

attention.

Well, I'm excited
to see you perform.

Thanks.

I wanted to hear her say, "no,
you need to work on this.

Desperately, you need to work
on this," because I want to

improve and I want to be better.

I just don't want to
come across unrelatable.

You don't feel
that way, do you?

No, I... I opened
up to you right away.

You're my best friend.

Other hand, 'cause
that'll hurt my hand.

If I were to advance in this
competition, which I pray to God

that I do, I've got a lot of
work to do as far as showing

vulnerability.

And I'm starting right away.

put together at boot camp.

There's six acts, but only four
are going through to the live

shows.

You know, what's crazy to me
is, like, I remember being in.

Austin and looking around at
all, like, the teenage guys.

I was like, "okay.

There's my competition."

I didn't think I'd be
up against these guys.

Some of the other groups coming
into this have been together

their whole lives.

I mean, emblem is a
group of brothers.

And it's a lot of pressure on us
to really pull it together and

pull it off, but, I
mean, we can handle it.

Together, we're just a
powerhouse, and, uh, we're going

to take this
competition by storm.

I still don't feel like
they're, like, marketable.

You know what I'm saying?

The boy band group?

I haven't really paid
attention to them, honestly.

I don't see them as a thr*at.

I can't see it going places.

Either it will massively,
or it'll plummet terribly.

I forget it every

Can we do it just
your part... okay.

And practice that,
like, three times?

All right, two,

I'm Josh.

I'm Brandon.

I'm Johnny.

I'm Austin.

We've been rehearsing /.

Since we're a new group,
that's what we gotta do.

At this point, we gotta get
our head in the game 'cause we

all know what "no" feels like.

I mean, we've all felt
it as individuals.

A lot of you really
deserve to go further.

I'm really sorry.

Thank you very much, indeed.

When we were told that we were
going home, we were knocked

down.

And I'll tell you what, we
were given another chance.

We got you back here 'cause
you were the ones we genuinely,

genuinely cared about.

You are all, as you are,
invited to the judges' homes.

[Screaming and cheering]

The fact that they put us
through and said, "these guys

have potential," it's like,
they must really believe in us.

So there's no more
letting them down.

[All singing]

Hi, boys.

Oh.

Dude.

What's happening?

Hola.

How are we doing?

Good.

How are you?

Good.

How are you guys holding up?

Good.

We've put groups together
very successfully in the past.

And sometimes it's
strength in numbers.

You know, it's not that you're
weak, you just needed that

confidence and having
someone to help you.

But it all has to work now because
one bad vocal can k*ll it.

There's a lot on the
line, and I've been there.

And it must be tough.

This could be the first day of
the rest of your life or not.

that would be the end of us.

There is no saving grace.

We have to k*ll every single
aspect of our performance.

This is the highest level of

Because you do come over a
little bit standoffish.

And there's probably a reason why you
haven't been picked up by a record label.

And I think it comes
down to personality.

It takes us a second to,
like, break out of our shell.

And then, once we do, I mean,
you can't get us to shut up.

If you just withdraw amongst
yourselves and go, "well, we

know we've got chemistry," it's
very difficult for other people

to understand that.

It can't just be, "you should
know what we're really like."

Just go out there, and just throw
caution to the wind, and enjoy it.

It's yours to win
or lose right now.

You've got to now make
people want to vote for you.

Today is super important.

The stakes have,
um, increased a lot.

You know, it's... we're now at the judge's

here.

We definitely need to

I definitely feel like our
personalities came out of the song.

We gave it our all.

I think what
they've shown us

through this period here is that
they are contenders for the real

world.

They have all the tools.

I think they're a home run.

My only issue is, will
an audience vote for them?

It's just crazy, the journey,
like, we went through to get to

this point.

Like, I would have never
imagined, after boot camp, I'm

making it to the judge's house
now, and I'm in this group.

Yeah, in a group, like, I mean...
with people I don't even

know.

Then they called us back to the
stage and decided to put us in a

group instead of
sending us home.

Yo, we here, like... we
kind of made it really far,

out of the thousands of
people that auditioned.

Seeing this, seeing this house
and everything like that...

oh, man.

That makes us want
to get it even more.

We pulled up in a yacht.

Like, y'all don't... man, I'm
from flint, Michigan, dog.

This type of yacht is, like, so
far-fetched, it's not even funny.

People don't make
it out of flint.

People either go to
prison, or they're dead.

Like, I've been to more
funerals than weddings.

Me and my brother here, we
are originally from queens,

and in queens, things like
this doesn't happen often.

At all.

Yeah.

No, at all.

At all, ever.

When you come from those type
of extremes, and you get to a

position like this, there's
nothing you won't do to make

what you want to happen happen.

How are you getting
on as a group?

Forget about it.

We're still, like, shocked how
you can actually, like, see

this because we actually
have, like, chemistry.

It's even weird.

It's weird and scary.

It's like, how
is this possible?

Like, you found a
female version of us.

Yeah.

And put us together.

This determines our future, so
we have to give it our all in

the present time right now,
so... this is everything for us.

I know we don't want to
go to our old lives.

Like, this is our life
right now, this...

we want to live this
life right now.

How are we doing, guys?

All: Good.

Real good.

Okay, great.

Good luck.

We are.
