01x08 - Judges' Home #2

[bunniefuu]

Last time,
judges' homes began

and acts sang for their
place in the live finals.

Tonight, the remaining
acts sing for their survival.

And the judges decide their fate...

This is going to change
their lives.

Somebody has to go home.
This is the hardest decision

I have ever had to make.

Do you see a place for
her in the final four?

As must become .

I've made my decision.

It's time...
It's a difficult moment.

To face...
Only four can make it.

The music!

It's bad news. You didn't make it.

Welcome to The X factor and the
second instalment of judges' homes.

Tonight, the remaining acts face
their mentors as they battle for

a place in the final .

Last night, the remaining acts
were split into four categories...

boys under ,
girls under ,

over- s and groups.

They made their way across the globe
to one of the judges' homes,

where they met the judge who will
mentor them for the season.

The girls...
I'm going to sing in France.

How many girls my age can say that?

Whoa.
..jetted off to France.

And Rachel, Tora, Simone, Drew,

Caitlin, Jazzlyn, Tiah
and Melanie

met their mentor Simon Cowell.

(SCREAMING)
Come here. (LAUGHS)

The over- s travelled
to Malibu,

and Elaine, Tiger,
Christa, Leroy, James, Stacy,

Josh, and Dexter met
Nicole Scherzinger.

And special guest Enrique Iglesias.

Just up the coast, the groups
travelled to Santa Barbara,

and the Stereo Hogzz,
the Brewer Boys, the Anser,

Squar'd, Illusion Confusion,
Shore,

Intensity, and Lakoda Rayne

met their mentor Paula Abdul.

And special guest Pharrell.

Aren't we lucky?

And the last eight boys
travelled to the Hamptons,

and Brennin, Nick, Chris, Brian,

Tim, Marcus, Skyelor and Phillip,
met their mentor LA Reid

And very special guest Rihanna.

Meet Rihanna.
Hi, guys, how are you?

Each judge hand-selected all
the songs for their acts

to perform to either a backing
track or with live instruments,

and with only half the acts
guaranteed a place in the live finals,

the competition was fierce.

♪ Ooh

♪ It must have been love

♪ But it's over now

♪ No, I can't get no

♪ Oh, no, no, no

It all sounds right, but there's
something I can't explain,

it doesn't quite get to me.

Do you think that she is
a superstar?

I would have liked to have heard
the song a little bit more.

♪ Baby, I was born this way

Only four can go through.
Only four groups, right?

♪ There's a road where the light
won't find you

(BEATBOXES)
# Can't nobody take my pride

He's attempting to do
something that's really original

but I'm not sure it works.

Tonight, the fight for
a place in the final continues.

And in France, it's a nerve-racking
time for the remaining eight girls.

Everyone's desperate to be selected
as one of Simon's final four,

but one girl who battled her nerves
right from the first performance

is -year old Jazzlyn Little
from Cape Coral, Florida,

who auditioned in Miami.

I need to open my throat
cos it's closing right now.

Just don't ask questions.
I don't want to let you guys down.

SIMON: Hello.

Hello.
How are you?

Extremely nervous.
Why?

Everybody's looking at me
right now. (LAUGHTER)

That's why it's called a stage.

Good luck.

♪ I'm goin' down

♪ I'm goin' down

♪ Cos you ain't around

I'd love to see what you're
like when you've got confidence.

You came out this little
shy thing, with all this

lacking confidence, and
you're the real thing.

You, I believe, could be
a world star.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

At boot camp, Jazzlyn
struggled with her nerves again.

Now just one performance away
from the live shows,

the pressure is greater than ever.

Being really far away from
home has been extremely hard.

It's just been really emotional to be
away from my mother and my brother.

I'm already a nervous performer.

But now, you're going against
the best of the best.

I have to put myself
at their level.

I'm feeling like the tension
and the pressure is hitting me.

I can already feel my throat
literally going like this.

I can feel the butterflies.

It's like my heart's going boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Reality is starting to set in,
and it's freaking me out.

Now is the time to figure out
how to get rid of those nerves.

This could be the difference
between incredible opportunities

or to go back home and sing in
my living room,

which I don't want to do any more.

I mean, if I go home,
that's devastating.

Hello, Jazzlyn.
Hello, Simon.

How are you?
I'm good.

Are you ready for this now?
Yes.

Yeah? Ready when you are.

♪ Weren't you the one
who tried to hurt me

♪ With good-bye?

♪ I was afraid

♪ I was petrified

♪ Thinkin' I could never live

♪ Without you by my side

♪ And I've spent so many nights

♪ Thinkin' how you did me wrong

♪ But I grew strong, yeah

♪ I learned how to get along

♪ And so you're back

♪ From outer space

♪ I just walked in
to find you here

♪ With that sad look
upon your face

♪ I should have changed
all the locks

♪ I should have made you leave
your key

♪ If I'd have known
for just one second

♪ You'd be back to bother me

♪ Oh, no, no

♪ Walk out the door

♪ Just turn around now

♪ Cos you're not welcome
any more

♪ Weren't you the one
who tried to hurt me

♪ With good-bye

♪ well, did you think I'd crumble

♪ Did you think
I'd lay down and die

♪ Oh no, not I

♪ I will survive ♪

♪ Oh, as long as I know
how to love

♪ I know I'll stay alive

♪ Cos I've got
all my life to live

♪ And I've got all my love
to give

♪ And I will survive

♪ The answer is yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

♪ Do you want to know

♪ No, no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no, no, no, no

♪ I will

♪ I will

♪ I will

♪ I will survive ♪

Thank you.

That's not even exaggerating
right now.

Oh, my goodness,
you are shaking that much.

To help Simon make his
decision,

he's joined by vocal
coach Savan Kotecha

and music producers
Graham Stack and Ray Hedges.

Maybe she just put herself
back in the frame.

I think she's good.

I just think it's a little
high school talent show to me.

In the Hamptons, next up in
the boys' category, to perform

for LA Reid and special guest
Rihanna is a contestant

who hasn't had any issues
with confidence.

It's -year-old Brennin Hunt
from Nashville, Tennessee.

The judges first met
Brennin at the Seattle auditions.

I feel like I have the look,
the voice.

You know, I'm the total package.

Hello.
How you doin'?

Good. How are you?
I'm doing great.

You happy to be here?
I'm happy to see you.

♪ I'm talkin' 'bout love

♪ Love, it's how we make it

♪ We make it

♪ We're only gonna get
♪ what we give

♪ In the circle of life

I'm gonna ask the ladies in here.
Is he hot?

(CHEERING)

Yes.

Finally, somebody gets me.

I've been at this business
a long time.

I'm getting old for music
business standards.

I feel like 's
the cut-off age.

When you've had as many
failures as I've had...

Keep the faith.
You doubt yourself.

I can guarantee that. It's easier to
doubt yourself when you're like me.

I see what you're saying.

I've tried every avenue
in this business.

You know, I just feel like this
is my time.

This is life-changing.

This next round,
getting to the live shows,

could change my life forever.

This is very important to me,

and I don't know if some of
the other contestants feel that,

because they haven't
experienced life like I have.

I want to win this
competition because I want

to be the biggest
superstar on the planet.

I want to be bigger than Lady Gaga.

I want to be bigger than all
these other pop stars.

I want people to love my music,

and when I'm dead and
gone, I want people

to remember my name
and remember my songs

and the legacy that I left on
this earth.

It's gonna eat me alive if I don't
make it through this next round.

Brennin, how are you?
I'm good. how are you guys doing?

Are you ready to knock us out?
I think I am.

All right, let's go.

♪ Just like a star across my sky

♪ Just like an angel off my page

♪ You have appeared into my life

♪ I feel like
I'll never be the same

♪ Just like a song in my heart

♪ Just like oil on my hands

♪ Oh, I love you

♪ Still I wonder why it is

♪ When I don't argue like this

♪ With anyone but you

♪ Whoa, oh

♪ We do it all the time

♪ Blowing out my mind

♪ Just like a star ♪

Thank you.

I think he is beautiful,

and I think his tone is correct
at times,

especially when it gets raspy.

But he has...
He's a little bit corny.

Cornball. He gives gives me,
like, ' s boy band.

Is he um... Does he sing
like a star?

That's what I'm not...
Convinced of.

I'm not convinced. So you see why I
needed your help, because this is tough.

Definitely. This is gonna be a very
difficult decision to make.

How did it go, bro?
What's up, man?

You did it, man.
Superstar, Nashville.

I think it was good.
Uh, I'm hard on myself, though.

Little pitch issues, I think.

Perfectionist.
I'm a perfectionist.

I'm never satisfied, which
I think is a good thing, but...

Welcome back to The X Factor.

The remaining acts have been
spilt into four categories

and flown around the world
to the judges' homes.

The girls are with Simon in France,

the boys with LA and Rihanna
in the Hamptons,

the over- s with Nicole and Enrique
Iglesias in Malibu,

and the groups in Santa Barbara, where
Paula and her guest judge Pharrell

are about to hear
from the next act,

Houston-based singing
group the Stereo Hogzz.

I'm John. I'm .
I'm Justin. I'm .

I'm Trey. I'm .
KG. I'm .

I'm Trace, and I'm .

And we are the Stereo...
ALL: Hogzz.

We want to hog the stereo, be on
every station, every channel.

To the stereo!

We've been friends most our lives, and
it just developed into a music thing.

Being here at the judge's
home is, like,

this is the craziest thing we've
ever experienced.

Feel that grass. That's good grass.

Being able to come to a house with
some nice grass with no ants, man,

it's like being so close to what you've
been working for this whole time,

and now it's like you can touch it.

I mean, there's trees here.

We don't even have trees
in my neighbourhood.

I just had a daughter and...
He's a dad.

I just really, really, really want
to win this competition for her,

because some of the things that I had
to deal with when I was growing up,

I just really don't
want her to even have

to be exposed to
anything like that.

This is not just a goal for
$ million.

This is a goal for $ million
and beyond.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
We just ready to smash it.

Guys, how are you doing?
Feeling good.

Feeling good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're excited to see you.

Oh, yeah, we ready to give
y'all a show. Let's do it.

he's like an old Motown guy

mixed with Genuine to me,
all right?

That's who they are.
That's who they are.

Pharrell, that's who they are.

God, you get it.

Could I borrow you for
a couple shows,

sitting to the left of me?

There's some work to do.

They have to be a constellation.
They can't be just one star.

God, it's so tough right now.
It's tough.

Y'all think we made it through?
I did hear a "whoo!" from Paula.

If you were judging us, would
you put us through? Yeah.

I'm me. I'm in the group.

But I'd still be judging.

So, OK, if you weren't
in the group,

and you watched us
perform and you weren't you,

would you put us
- Yeah - through?

Hey, now ask me that question.

Yes.

While the Stereo Hogzz await
their fate, down the coast in Malibu,

the next member of
the over- s category,

burrito maker Josh Krajcik
is getting ready

to face Nicole and her guest
judge Enrique Iglesias.

♪ And life is like a song

♪ Oh, yeah

You need to give the slinging
burritos job to somebody else.

Music has always been one of the most
important things to me in my life,

up until my beautiful
daughter Rowan was born.

My daughter, she's .
She's amazing.

She's so beautiful and she can really
do what she wants cos she's so smart.

I just want to show her that
dreams can come true

with hard work and a little luck
and some talent.

I want her to have all the opportunities
in life she could ever dream of,

and me winning this competition,
which I plan on doing,

will allow that to happen.

Take it out there.
Go do your thing, OK?

Thanks, Steve.
I'll be here. Good luck.

This is my ticket to the life
that I want.

Hi. How's it going?

whom I respect so much,
what it is that I am capable of.

Thank you so much, guys.
Thank you.

He's relatable, he's personable,
but do you think he's a star?

He's not your typical star.
You know, not all the glitz and glamour.

He's rough around the edges.

Is that the performance that'll stop
you from making burritos for a living?

You know what, Steve?
I certainly hope so,

because I'm not ready
to go back to that.

Welcome back to The X Factor
in beautiful Santa Barbara,

where the stakes have never been
higher.

One act desperate not to
disappoint Paula and Pharrell

are Miami girl band Squar'd.

♪ Let the rhythm erase
all the judgment you face

Lovely voices. Lovely vocal blends.

Nice harmonies. I'm gonna say yes.
Yes. Yes.

OK, you've got four yeses.
Well done.

That moment meant so much
because it was like,

this is the beginning
of us living out our dreams.

The song that Paula chose for us is,
uh, Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen,

and we were surprised because we're
basically a pop R and B group,

so we're like, you know what?

We've got to tackle it,
we've got to learn it,

and we've got to show them
that we can do anything.

Anything you throw at us,
we can do.

This is our time now. You know,
it's not in five years.

This is now.
Like, we really want it now.

Good audition. Four yeses.
Thank y'all so much.

One of my dreams is to get
back to my roots.

I was raised on my grandparents'
farm.

I want my kids to experience
that countryism.

I want to be able to afford a
nice house and, you know,

I can teach my son how to fish,
how to hunt.

This is the way to do it.
This is my only way to do it.

Before X Factor,
I've never been away

from my kids more than
a normal work day,

and, uh, before I left
home, my son said,

"God, please keep Daddy
safe on the plane,"

and, uh, he handed
me his stuffed monkey and said,

"Take it with you.
I want you to have it."

Being a father and having kids is
just, uh, it's just so unbelievable.

I wouldn't trade it for
anything.

This opportunity is my one sh*t
to become successful.

I'm years old.

You know, it's time to happen.
It's now or never.

Without nailing this performance, all
our dreams could go out the window.

Hello.
How are you guys doing?

Wonderful.
Good.

How you feeling?
Good.

Ready to have some fun.
This is gonna be awesome.

Great. good luck to you.

Um, he's a real country singer.

Right.

I felt like if, you know
the song touched me

during my performance.
I hoped that showed off.

I can see you're pretty emotional
from singing that.

Yeah, it's a great song.
It's really touching.

I wanted more.
You did?

I wanted more. He's good,
but I wanted so much more from him.

Right.

Welcome back to The X Factor.

The remaining acts have been
split into four categories,

and flown all around the world to
the judges' homes.

The boys with LA and Rihanna
in the Hamptons,

the over- s with Nicole and
Enrique Iglesias in Malibu,

the groups with Paula
and Pharrell in Santa Barbara,

and the girls with Simon
in France,

where next is the youngest
contestant in the competition

-year-old Rachel Crow from
Boulder, Colorado.

What is your name, lovely one?

My name is Rachel Crow.

I'm definitely, uh, ready in the
competition.

I feel very confident.
I'm one out of eight people,

so I look at them as competition,

even though I do love them,
I definitely want to go through.

I want that chance to blow
America away.

What would you do with
the $ million?

My family has, like, no money.
(LAUGHTER)

We live in a two-bedroom house, and
I have six people in my family.

And I'm a girl.
I need my own bathroom.

And Rachel has already decided what
to buy with the $ million prize.

I need a wall of mirrors.

I have to have one of those
chalkboard paint walls.

Definitely a pool.
I need a big kitchen.

I want a big, big TV.
And a nice couch and, um,

definitely, definitely my own
bathroom.

I want this more than anything,

so hopefully I'll make sure
I step up my game,

and whatever happens,
it's gonna be epic.

Hello, Rachel.
Hello.

How are you feeling?
Uh, I'm good.

All right, sweetheart,
in your own time.

That was unbelievable.

Oh, my God. I like the fact
that she takes risks,

and I like that deep tone.

That was the part that
really excited me.

How do you feel about it?
I feel that it went pretty good.

Pretty good? I think I probably
could have done a little better,

but I think I put my heart into it
and I think he liked it.

Maybe it's just her bad luck
that she's in this category

with people who probably could deal
with the pressure more.

As our youngest contestant waits
for Simon to see all the girls,

In Malibu, Nicole and Enrique Iglesias
are about to see the oldest contestant,

Leroy Bell from Seattle.

♪ Somebody to lean on

Who says that, at years old, that
a dream is not going to come true?

Absolutely, yes.
Yes. Yes.

Four yeses.
Thank you!

I'm the oldest person
in this competition.

I just turned .
I've been pretending

that I'm -something now
for about ten years,

so, uh, now the cat's
out of the bag, right?

All America knows I'm an old man.

Most people at this age
are thinking about retiring,

but I feel like I've still
got the fever,

the burn to do what
I've always loved.

What I would like to show my kids and
my grandkids is that you never give up.

If you have a passion for something,
you keep striving towards it.

About ten years ago,
I realized that just

singing and playing
wasn't important to me.

There are so many artists that are in
their s that are making great music.

I don't see why I should stop.

This is it. This is your time.

I hope so, this is my time.
Are you ready?

Yeah. I'm ready to do it.

It means the world to me
to make it through.

If I could do that, I'd be the
happiest man on the planet right now,

the happiest
-year-old, for sure,

and probably the happiest kid
who ever makes it.

Hi, Leroy. how are you doing?
Good.

I'm just honoured to have the
chance to compete again,

and this means the world to me.

I hope you guys like it
and put me through.

Thank you, Leroy.

Even though he's the most

I feel like he's the most
nervous.

I feel his nerves a little,
and when I feel those nerves,

I feel like it's keeping
him from holding back,

from really giving me
everything.

What is your-your heart telling you?
Do you think you've done enough?

I think I've done it. I think
I could get there from this.

I'd like to think that.

I hate to do that, cos

because this is, you know,
do or die right here.

This is it, you know.

Welcome back to the X Factor

In Santa Barbara, hoping
to be one of Paula's four groups

through to the live shows are
best friends Illusion Confusion.

How are you feeling?
We feel great.

You guys are icons in this industry.

We could learn
a lot from both of you,

and we're just so lucky and blessed
every minute that we're here.

Excellent. Let's do it.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm on the fence.
You are? About them?

I say that they have more
drive than anything else.

I was more impressed by
their drive than anything.

You think that-you think
that their ambition, um,

surpasses their ability?
Yeah.

If it's ambition, drive, and talent,
we have a little bit of a problem.

Down the coast in Malibu is
the over- s category

with Nicole and guest judge
Enrique Iglesias.

And up next is -year-old wedding DJ
Tiger Budbill from Bothell, Washington.

♪ You can cry me a river ♪

♪ Cry me a river

It's nice that we got to know
you a little bit more.

You're a really good singer, and
I could see how much you want it.

It makes a huge difference to
me, so I'm gonna say yes.

I'm Tiger Budbill. I'm ,
and I am a professional DJ.

I DJ weddings, I DJ corporate
events, that sort of thing,

but in the last four years,
work is very slim.

You know, right now, I'm only
working two nights a week,

and that's at bucks a pop,

so our house was supposed to be
auctioned off and we ended up

being able to push that
back for a couple months.

We've lost everything financially.

Winning this competition
could change everything.

I've always dreamt of having
the big house.

I was over, just looking out at
what I've always dreamt of.

I was picturing my wife
and my daughter

and... maybe a newborn
baby or something.

You know, my mom's .

If she could sit on that deck and
look out for the rest of her life,

she'd be totally happy.

Right now, winning this,
it's huge in my life financially,

but also emotionally, because here
I'm and this is my last sh*t.

Hey, guys.
Hey, Tiger.

This is probably the last time
we're gonna speak

before I have to make my decision,

so can you tell us what
this means to you?

It's meant everything and it
means everything,

and to be able to move on and,
like all of us,

support our families and take
care of the people that we love

while finally validating what we've
been trying to do for so many years,

that's what it comes down to,

So, hopefully I can sing for you
now and you'll just be in awe,

and I won't even make
this decision hard for you.

That's what I'm looking for.
Good. Well, let's do it.

OK, thank you.
Let's do it.

Thank you, guys, very much.

So what'd you think?

Sometimes, you know,
with him, honestly, his voice,

It's effortless for him, but do you
feel like there's a market for him?

Do you feel like people will buy
his records?

I don't think there should be any
rules when it comes to music.

Anybody can get it
with the right song.

I'm happy with it, you know?

I made it through the song,
I hit some good notes,

and I really feel like
I connected with both of them,

you know, and, uh, so with all
of that, I'm very, very happy. OK.

I just really hope it's
enough to go through.

Welcome back to the X Factor

and judges' homes

The remaining acts have been
split into four categories,

Boys under s, Girls under ,
Over- s and Groups

The contestants are singing
their hearts out around the world

trying to earn one of the
spots in the live shows

One boy who's hoping to impress his
mentor LA Reid and special guest Rihanna

is -year-old
Marcus Canty from Maryland.

My mom gave me two years,
and it's my last chance.

This is all or nothin'.
Yes, ma'am.

What happens after two years?
I gotta choose another career.

♪ Why did those days
ever have to go?

♪ Cos I loved them so

Marcus! Sweetheart!

Whoo!

Listen, I know you're unique
and you've got your own thing,

but boy, you've got that
Bobby Brown energy. Yes, you do.

For Marcus, being in the Hamptons is a
far cry from life back in Maryland.

It feels so shocking to be in
the Hamptons.

I've never been here before.
I live in an apartment.

I see all these huge houses.
I see this huge beach.

This is how I want to live,
and I know I'll get there.

What do your family feel
about it all?

Oh, man, my mom, she calls me
every five minutes.

You know, "What's going on?
Are you OK? Are they feeding you?"

you know, all that
so, you know, my

family is just so
supportive, so excited.

I want to win this $ million and this
recording contract from The X Factor

because I could help my family out
with whatever they need.

I can be the superstar that
I know I can be,

I have the potential to be,
so it'll mean so much to me.

Not having a job
definitely makes this

competition way, way
more important to me.

I definitely want to make my mom
proud of me.

She used to tell me,
"Keep striving.

If you're gonna do something,
do it to the best of your ability."

I'm really happy to see you.
I'm really happy to see you.

And you, Rihanna.
Likewise.

Don't be flirting with me.

Good job.

I'm freaking out.
I got a chill on that.

I could not contain myself.

All right.
You happy?

Yeah, I'm happy, man.
Like, in my heart, I feel good,

and when I feel good
in my heart with ,

I leave it out there for
them to judge it, you know?

Does he sing like a star?
That's what I'm not... Convinced of.

I'm not convinced.

To see how confident he was...
Confidence, exactly.

He looked dead in my eyes.
I couldn't even look at him any more.

I felt like a fan. He made me feel
really good with that performance.

Crazy.
You k*lled it.

Yes, I did. I did k*ll it.

I always wanted to be, like, you
know, like, in his circle, man.

Like, man, that's LA Reid, man.

I always wanted to be
in his circle, man.

While Marcus wait, in France,
at the home of Simon Cowell,

anxiously awaiting her performance

is -year-old deli clerk Tiah
Tolliver from Bremerton, Washington.

♪ Tell them what I hoped
would be impossible

For my first audition,
they basically just crushed me.

Judging on your vocals,
you changed keys a lot.

Simon was the only one
who fought for me.

But you have to stay
in that key. Oh, come off it!

If you can't see this,
you're deaf.

You know, it kind of hurt me,
what they said,

so it is a big, huge thing
to discover that Simon is my judge

cos, I mean, he fought for me,
and he didn't give up.

$ million would change my life
dramatically.

I work in a deli, and it is not
an easy job.

Honestly, I would just love to
be able to wake up and sing

instead of wake up and make
sandwiches.

But as Tiah's performance
gets closer

her nerves start to get the
better of her.

I really want to try
to impress Simon.

He was the one who fought
for me,

so today I have
to prove him right

and show him that he made
the right choice.

Hello.
Hi.

All good?

All right, go for it.
You look great. Thank you.

Great. Thank you, Tiah.

Thank you.

I can't express how much
I want it.

I mean, if I get put through
this round,

I don't even know what I'll do.
I just cry thinking about it.

I just think there's
something about her.

I've just always thought
she fits in the show.

She has guts. She's got something.

When she's performing, you can't keep
your eyes off her, that's for sure.

It's raw. It needs some fine-tuning.

It's good, but it's slightly
out of kilter there.

We just have to work with her.
We have to work really hard with her.

Outstanding. See you in a bit.

Welcome back to The X Factor
and to Malibu,

where the over- s are waiting
to perform

for Nicole and special
guest Enrique Iglesias.

Next up to perform is
-year-old Christa Collins,

who made a impression at boot camp.

♪ I'm still into life

I like her. Which one?
Christa.

Well, she's got presence.
I think she's really good.

This isn't Christa's first attempt at
trying to get into the music industry.

I was the first child solo
artist signed to Disney records.

I was the prototype for what
became Britney and Christina.

There are moments where it can
be really glamorous

and you're on, you know,
a big stage with the lights.

But all of that is, like,
two minutes and then the rest of it

is, like, - hours
of just gruelling labour.

Being, you know, ten years old,
it was a lot of hard work.

So I retired when I was about ,
because it just became too difficult.

It was the worst mistake
of my life.

This is most definitely a second
chance for me.

Hi, Christa.
Hi.

I'm not taking one moment
of this for granted.

Give me all you've got.

Thank you, guys.

Um... this is my second chance,

And... I am definitely here for me,

because this is the only place
that I feel whole

is on the stage, performing, and...
thank you so much for this opportunity.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

I like her.

I do, I thought there was
- It hit me.

It hit me.
Intense, huh? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

These are definitely, um,
tears of joy and relief.

I don't know.
To me, it felt good.

The only thing I would
have liked to have seen is

- There's a lot of
pain in the song.

I would've liked to have seen
a little bit more of that pain,

a little bit more of that
emotion behind the lyrics.

I just hope that I was able
to touch them.

So as one former child star
awaits her outcome,

just up the coast,
a group of potential child stars

are eager to perform in front of
Paula and guest mentor Pharrell.

These ten contestants originally
auditioned as soloists.

What's your name?
Emily Michalak. Ellona.

My name is John.
Francesca.

Ma'at.
Nick Dean.

Lauren Ashley.
Is your name Arin?

Yes, ma'am.
Your name is?

Austin. And?
Emily.

Ausem.
Yeah, Aus-Em, we're Ausem.

But after being eliminated
individually at boot camp...

The competition ends right now.

The judges felt these acts were too good
to let go and offered them a lifeline.

You are in the groups category.

Creating one giant group.

ALL: We're Intensity.

Intensity.

When we got called
back on stage, it was

like, it was the most
amazing feeling ever,

just being able to get another
chance to live our dream.

And it was just amazing.

We all want this as much as
anyone would.

It's just crazy to even think
that, like, we're here right now.

Like, we're at the judges'
houses on The X Factor.

We didn't really sing together
until maybe a couple days ago.

Because we're all in different
cities and states.

We always stay connected.
We chat on Skype all the time.

Like, throw out ideas that we have for
the group that may benefit us and...

really works out that way.

We're always laughing and
having fun.

We feel like we're a family.

I can't see us moving
on not being a group.

Getting to the live shows is
our number one goal.

We want to show people that
we're young,

but we're also ready,
and we're ready to grow

and explode and become,
like, this next big thing.

Hi.
Intensity.

Yeah.
How intense is it now?

It's very intense.

Can I give you a hug?
Yes, you can.

Can we all give you a hug?
Absolutely, absolutely.

I'm very proud of you.
Can I give you a hug, too?

Looks like you had a great time
out there.

Do you believe that's enough to get
you through to the live shows?

Yes, I believe that's enough
to get us to the live shows.

I mean, we worked extremely hard
for this performance,

and we put all our energy.

And the adrenaline
just pumped in, right?

Wait and see. there were some
little stars in there.

Like a cookie - some really good
star morsels in there.

They're very talented.
Yeah, for sure.

But I think the biggest challenge,
though, is this needs more time.

Welcome back to the X Factor,
where we're back in the Hamptons

with LA Reid, Rihanna, and the
remaining boys.

For -year-old trash
collector Chris Rene,

the Hamptons are a world away
from life back home.

It's insane. This is lifestyles
of the rich and famous.

And we get to be a part of it.

I don't know. It's crazy.

Chris had just come out of rehab
when he auditioned in Seattle.

How long you been clean?
days.

Good for you.
Good for you.

♪ Hey, young homie
what you trippin' on

♪ Looking at life like,

♪ But life's too short,

You are the truth.

I'm gonna give you a yes,
but man, you gotta stay straight.

Chris, we have a deal here,
right?

If we're gonna put you through,
we're staying on the right track.

Yeah.
There's no breaking that. Got it?

I got it, Simon.
Fine, then you've got my yes.

Making it to the judges'
houses is the biggest

milestone I've
accomplished in my life.

I want this experience to continue.

I want to be critiqued.
I want feedback.

I wanna know,
and I want to give more.

I want to do a really good job,
because...

I started doing music at age ,
rocking out in a punk band.

To win this would just mean
so much to me.

My job is to haul trash.

But I didn't feel like I was
made to be a hauler.

It's, you know, obviously what
I'm doing to make money,

but I feel like the contract and just
making it is definitely my destiny.

So, with that in mind, are you
feeling any kind of pressure?

Yeah, there is a lot of pressure.
I mean, at certain moments,

anxiety, and then there's
the self-doubt voice that att*cks.

What does it say to you?

Oh, that voice just
says, you know, "You're

not good enough.
You can't do it."

I'd love to win this contract
right here.

To have a opportunity
to have some financial

stability off of my
passion, my music,

would just prove a lot to me.

I just want to be a good
example to my son.

That's just what I'm trying
to do today.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Once-in-a-lifetime chance.

I feel like a million dollars

He has something very special.

Like, I want to know more
about him.

He is one of the special ones.
He's about his art.

Whether he wins $ million or not,
it's not important to him.

What's important to him is that
he stays true to who he is. Yes.

But... I've never seen him
that uncomfortable before.

He might just be nervous.
Maybe you were intimidating him.

Really? Are you sure it's not you?
I don't think so.

With them legs crossed and
them pointy-tipped shoes?

I don't think so. No, honey, no.

What's up?
Yo, what happened?

It was good. It was exciting.

I've been doing this
for years.

What I can say is that nobody
in my city but me

got a chance to sing in front
of Rihanna and LA Reid.

I hope they liked it, you know
what I mean?

Welcome back to the X Factor

acts have now sung for their
place in the live shows.

And Simon has seen seven of
the eight girls in his category.

It's time for the final
judges' home performance

and the turn of -year-old
student Melanie Amaro

From Sunrise, Florida.

Melanie has been impressing the
judges throughout the competition.

Are you any good?
Um, I'll let you determine that.

♪ If you won't

♪ Listen

When I was asked by a lot of people why
I was bringing this show to America,

it was because I hoped that we were
going to find someone like you.

It's exciting for me that I'm here.

You're not in France every day.

Right now I'm feeling, um...
nervous, anxious, excited.

Um, I didn't think I would have
gotten this far cos,

in a little way,
I kind of doubted myself,

cos I said to myself,
oh, my God, look at

all these talented
people that are here.

But, like, I've never wanted something
more than I've wanted to do my singing.

My family wants this
for me just as much

as I do, cos they're
always supporting me.

They're always behind me,
especially my mother.

Go out there now and prove
yourself, OK?

I love you.
Love you, too.

If I win this competition
I can be able to thank them

for everything that they've
done for me in life.

It would be nice to be able to
give her back something, you know.

But this is the big performance.

I really hope that, um, I can
show Simon what I've got and, um...

this one has to be, like, my
best, because, um...

if not, then I'm gonna go home.

I'm just going to sing with
everything that I have.

Hi, Mel.

OK?
Yes, I'm great, Simon.

Good. OK, good luck.

"You just wrote me off.
Now write me off."

I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.

I got the look.
I've had that look before.

It's just about
contemporizing her.

for her, as well.

She's in her comfort

You've got to take her out that

Is whether she's going to sing

more contemporary songs and still
deliver in a contemporary style.

After the break,
it's the moment of truth.

This is going to change
their lives.

As the judges decide who's in
and who's out.

This is the hardest decision
I have ever had to make.

So she's out.
Definitely. Gone.

Welcome back to The X Factor.

All acts have now performed
at the judges' homes,

But only will be chosen to
go through to the live shows.

Now each judge must choose
just four of the eight

acts remaining in their
category to take through.

In France, Simon and
his team of industry

experts must choose the
fate of the girls.

In the Hamptons, LA and Rihanna must
choose the four boys to take through.

In Malibu, Nicole and Enrique
must make some hard decisions

about the over- s category.

And in Santa Barbara, it's
up to Paula and Pharrell

to decide which four groups are in
and which four are going home.

This is going to be our
challenge here.

This is going to be our challenge.

They all have very
special qualities.

It's just kinda like...
who's bringing

more to the table, you
know, at the time.

Cos that's how it is at
the end of the day, right?

This is going to change
their lives.

There's nothing left back
home for us,

and we just really hope that
the judges see our hard work

and see how we've progressed.

There are our eight.
Everybody can't stay.

Somebody has to go home.
I've got $ million on the line,

so the guys that we put
through had better measure up.

I agree.

If I'm told no, then it's
just back to work for me.

You know, this is my one true sh*t.

This is the hardest decision
I have ever had to make.

There's four people that go
through, right?

Only the best four can go through.

So... who was I moved by today?

Who was a star?

No, I didn't do as well
as I wanted to do, but...

I'm a perfectionist, so I...
never do as well as I want to.

I think we should start
with one person.

Do you see a place for her in
the final four?

She showed promise in the
auditions, but didn't deliver.

So she's out.
She's definitely out.

Right, gone. Sorry, sweetheart.

Half of us, he has to let go.
Hopefully it's not me.

There are two groups that
you guys put together.

Yes. I think that one
fared the best.

We want to be % confident.
Was that the $ million performance?

I mean, we'd like to think so.

I think this may be the hardest one.

Yeah. And he's talented.

But I just think he's
a little green.

Yeah, he is. He's going home.

You know what this could do
for my family?

Everything I could have possibly
dreamed of

is in their hands right now.

I hope I've done enough.
I really want to go through.

I really don't want to go home.

This girl needs a lot of work.
She was slightly off-colour today.

It was like she'd lost her
confidence.

I would not want this to be over.

This is the dream.

I'm just real nervous.
Maybe I'm not what Simon's looking for.

I'm just hoping that I am part
of his decision.

I don't think she's
the best singer,

but she's the one I am
totally, utterly glued to.

I just need this chance.

I just really hope Simon sees that.

I love this guy.
You want to root for him,

but do I think he can win this
competition?

I'm not convinced right now.

Everything's on the line for me.

I'm just really hoping that what
they saw in me was enough.

This one here is...
That hurts me.

Cos there is some serious talent.
In that group.

There's a lot of good groups.
You want to seem real confident.

It could mean the world or it
could, like, all go away so quick.

They did not raise their game
enough. I say no.

It'll be really hard if they
say that we're not making it.

This is what we really want.

You know, like, we really
want this really bad.

We're down to these two.
That is really hard.

I like different things about
both of them.

Unfortunately,
we can't have five.

We can only have four. That's hard.

It would be something else if
this wasn't their last chance.

But I feel like we have, like,
their lives in our hands.

I handed them my heart, so...
hopefully they love it.

I hope that this decision here
is the right one.

You dream about this for
so long and then

you're given this enormous
opportunity and you're here.

And now it just comes to this
precipice where you're like,

"What's going to happen?"

One yes left. It's so easy
to go with this girl

and just say this
is too hard, but I can't.

This is the one we can make into
a better artist, I guarantee.

I can feel it.
It's a big risk.

I know it is, but I like
taking risks sometimes.

I hope that he chooses me as
one of his four.

I'm going with this one.

I think that's it.
I've made my decision.

I think I've made the decision.

This is the one everyone
thought was going

to get a yes, and
we've just said no.

It's a hard one.
I didn't do that.

This tuesday

It's decision time

It's horrible all this,
isn't it?

I'm having a tough day

Who is in?

I'm struggling with this.

And who is out

It's bad news

As the finals are revealed

I've made my decision

I went back and forth
all night.

I'm not able to take
you to the live show

I'm really genuinely sorry

That's the X Factor

This Tuesday at / c

... just been there , you know ...
