01x13 - Live Performance Show #3

[bunniefuu]

Last week, the final
sang for your votes.

You absolutely have what
it takes to be a star.

Thank you.

What you and your voice can do.

That was incredible.

Amazing.

So the bottom two were revealed.

The final showdown for
intensity and stereo hogzz.

And the judges made their
toughest decision so far.

The act I'm going to send home
because I thought they were

the weakest on the
night is stereo hogzz.

Intensity.

Intensity, I'm going to
have to send you home.

Tonight -- it's movie night!

And the final hit the red carpet.

Fighting for your votes -- l.
A. Reid and the boys, Marcus

canty, astro and Chris rene.

Simon cowell and the girls, drew,
Rachel crow and Melanie amaro.

Nicole scherzinger and the over
s, Josh krajcik, Leroy bell,

and Stacy Francis.

And Paula Abdul and the two
remaining groups, lakoda rayne

and the stereo hogzz.

But tonight, I'm promising
something special.

It's time.

Me and my contestants,
we're going to bring it.

-- To face -- there's going to be
a massive, massive shock from one

of my contestants tonight.

-- The music!

I know I lost a group last
week, but me and my groups,

we're fighting harder than ever.

Live from Los Angeles, it's
the x factor movie night.

Please welcome your host, Steve Jones.

Welcome to the x factor.

It's movie night!

It's very exciting.

All the songs coming up have been
used in iconic movie soundtracks.

Tonight, the remaining acts are
fighting for a place in the final .

To make it, they need your votes.

You at home are in control.

All week, the mentors have been
working with their acts, making

sure they give the best
possible performance.

L.A. reid... Nicole scherzinger...
Paula Abdul... and Simon cowell.

The prize on the x factor is a
$ million recording contract

and the chance to star
in a Pepsi commercial.

Extraordinary stuff.

And to give the contestants an
idea of the kind of superstar

life they could be living if
they win, earlier this week they

went to a major movie premiere.

Adam sandler's "Jack and Jill."

Take a look.

We went to the premiere of Adam
sandler's "Jack and Jill."

It was amazing.

The premiere was amazing.

I felt like a movie star myself.

Crazy.

People everywhere.

Cameras.

Are you going bald?

Hmm?

No, no, no, you're getting
fatter and your hair doesn't

realize it needs to cover more face.

Okay.

We've only dreamed of this.

The red carpet, special treatment.

Katie Holmes.

Katie Holmes.

Why do you guys always
look cooler than me?

Al Pacino.

Oh, my God.

That's Al Pacino right there.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sure you have others, though.

Justin bieber is my favorite singer,
but Adam sandler is my favorite actor.

You guys are all singing.

That's a lot of money you're
competing for, $ million.

That's a lot of bread, man.

I know it.

I originally wanted to play the
role of my sister, and I took over.

He's a funny guy.

One dollar.

One dollar to the winner.

Good luck to you.

I mean, just being here in Hollywood
makes me want it more, so it's awesome.

It's a good little taste
of what could be.

I could do this every single day.

♪

: : : "Jack and Jill" is a good

movie.

That was the funniest
movie I've ever seen.

Okay, okay.

Back to reality.

The goal tonight is to
make it into the final .

Here we go.

The theme for the songs is movies.

First to perform is
one of the over s.

Here's her mentor, Nicole scherzinger.

All right, America.

First up, sharing her inner
diva, singing a song from "the

bodyguard," this is Stacy Francis.

I miss seeing my kids all the time.

I at least have one of
them in my rehearsal.

My daughter was in vocal coach with me.

I son can't say x factor.

At , this could be my last
opportunity to make it happen.

Stacy's stepping out of
her element this week.

She's doing a massive huge diva number.

This is what you were meant for.

This is what you wanted,
you told me from day one.

Yes.

I was scared at first.

It's up tempo.

I'm going to be dancing.

I'm going over that intro with you
and square away when you come in.

Forget that aiko wrote it.

I think it's a bad song choice.

I think we're going to be getting
people out of their seats a little bit.

Stacy Francis.

whoo!

Stacy!

I didn't want to like it.

I didn't like the song.

I co-wrote the song.

I still don't like it.

But you did much better with
it than I thought you'd do.

Thank you.

But I liked "the bodyguard."

I love "the bodyguard."

Soundtrack.

Why didn't you do "I'll
always love you"?

I wanted to step it up.

I wanted to dance.

All right.

All right.

It was good.

Thank you.

Stacy, you are a diva,
there's no mistaking that.

Thank you.

And every time you sing, you sing
like you're singing for your life.

I gotta agree.

I really never liked the song.

Wait a minute.

That's going a little far.

I didn't say that.

I'm just being honest.

I can say that.

I co-wrote it.

I'm just telling you as a friend.

Having said that, Stacy, you delivered
and you delivered in a big way.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Hi, Stacy.

Look, you look cute.

But I would have you wearing
that somewhere else.

Again, it goes back -- may I?

Oh, Simon!

The problem is, Stacy, you've got
to convince America that you

are a $ million recording contract.

And I think --

I liked you last week as a singer.

I think there's a lot of -- it's
like Nicole has combined you and

Paula into one person.

You know what?

That's a compliment.

That's not the right thing for you.

I didn't like the dancing.

By the way, I thought the
dancing was fantastic.

Brian Freeman, you did a great job.

Stacy, I think you look gorgeous.

And what's even most important is
that you shine from within tonight.

Thank you.

You are a queen from within.

And you are empowering
to all women out there.

I'm so proud of you, girl.

Fantastic.

Up next -- the high school graduate
from bowie, Maryland, whose mom gave

him just two years to follow him dream.

It's Marcus canty after the break.

Welcome back to the x factor.

We are live in Los Angeles.

The theme for the songs
tonight is movies.

Next up is the first of the boys.

Their mentor is L.A. reid.

So up next, doing a song from
the cult classic "car wash" is

my man from bowie,
Maryland, Marcus canty.

Last week felt amazing.

My mom flies in each week from
Baltimore all the way to Hollywood.

I'm going to be here.

My mom has been a single
mom her whole life.

It gives me more motivation to
go out on stage and make her

dreams a reality, too.

Without her there, it feels like
something's probably missing.

My mom's pretty clear.

If I don't win $ million,
get back to a real job.

I don't want to go
back to mowing lawns.

I'm a performer.

I want to do this 'til
my legs fall off.

This week we've got to
take it up a notch.

Tonight you're going to see
a different side of Marcus.

We're going to strip it down.

I'm going to show everybody
my vocal ability.

It won't be about dancing.

It won't be about Marcus'

swag.

We've shown Marcus as a performer.

Now it's time to show
Marcus as a singer.

Marcus canty!

Marcus, two words.

Two words.

Mag-ic.

You're like a vision up there.

The smoke is happening.

I thought you were just a dream,
a beautiful dream happening.

What I love about you as a
singer is you take and you mean

and you enjoy every single word and every
single moment when you're up there.

You are a classic not
only pop star, rock star.

You are a superstar, my love.

Thank you so much, Nicole.

Marcus canty, everything about you
from head to toe resonates star.

From your voice, your looks,
your poise, your delivery.

I'm so proud of you, Marcus.

Welcme

Marcus, okay.

I have to say now that we've
got rid of the ridiculous

channelling of having to sing l.
A.'S songs and actually do

something that you should be
doing in the real world, that

was a thousand percent
better than last week.

Only issue, Marcus, is that
thank God you threw that jacket

off halfway through, because all
I was thinking is you look like

a cabaret singer and
it's like stuck to you.

Oh, no.

No.

A bit of advice from me to you.

Dress yourself.

Thank you, Simon.

Two words.

Okay.

Marcus, listen, you look great, okay?

You look great.

You sound great.

You have better taste than some people
that sit at the end of this desk.

Not Simon.

I was talking about myself, actually.

And listen, I have a crystal ball.

I was a crystal ball, and
there's an artist's picture in

it, and it's a picture of you.

You're a magic star.

Great words from your mentor.

I think that's the sound of
you moving to the next level.

How do you feel right now?

Man, I feel incredible, man.

I want to thank everybody, man.

I love y'all.

Next to perform tonight, it's the
first of the girls, mentored

by Mr. Simon cowell.

Okay.

From one of my favorite movies
of all time, "you, me and

dupree," representing chino
valley, one word, drew.

I'm drew.

I hope getng to walk down the
red carpet is something that's

been like a dream to me.

Yes, yes, girl.

Can I give you a hug?

Of course.

I need that.

I am beyond excited to be here.

I'm just a kid.

I'm .

And I'm from a small town
called chino valley, Arizona.

Chino valley being a small
country county that it is, this

has turned it upside-down.

There are signs all over the town.

Her school has viewing parties.

My class only had ninele in it, but I'm
so grateful that they're supporting me.

That's good.

I like nervous.

This week is not what you would
expect her to be singing, but,

you know, this is a girl
you can take risks with.

If it ever stops becoming nervous,
it's like you don't care anymore.

Instead of a big visual
performance, she needs to make a

big vocal performance to match.

She has to prove she can
do more than one thing.

all right, drew.

First -- first of all, I have
to say thathat was really good.

You were really good last week.

You were really good the week before.

But I don't know the difference
between the three performances.

I don't know if that was a new
song or the same song last week.

It's kind of the same to me, you know.

And I need some diversity from you.

I need to see you do
something different.

Okay.

I'll take that.

Simon you, me and dupree, whose
home theater was that released in?

I've never heard of that movie.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

Tell me where you watched it,
which city, which theater?

Los Angeles and London.

It came out in London?

Yes, it came out in London.

It has nothing to do with the movie.

It has to do with her, L.A.

But it was a movie.

It's a movie.

You guys heard of this movie?

I have home movies that
have a soundtrack.

You may as well sing one of those.

Okay.

Aside from the movie, drew, you are
simply brilliant beyond your years.

Thank you, thank you.

You really are.

I love that you take your time
always when you're up there, and

unlike your mentor, you're
just a little slice of heaven.

That means I'm sitting next to hell.

Drew, I have to say this about you.

You give an honest performance
every single week.

Thank you.

And, Simon, I will give you props for
picking a song that really fits within a

beautiful -- her beautiful vocal
range, but I'm not going to give

you props for what she's wearing.

I have to tell you.

Drew, you are a beautiful girl, but
that outfit took the seriousness away.

Don't take fashion advice
from Simon anymore.

Let me just clear this up.

Drew designed that dress.

Ew.

Oh, my gosh.

Now I feel really bad,
but I'm being honest.

Well, don't be honest.

Okay.

I'll lie.

I love you.

This is why I love working
with you, drew, that you take

risks, that your heart has the guts to
design something yourself, which shows

individuality, lady gaga, and
just to pick it up from what you

said, L.A., thank God I'm her
mentor, because my job is to

take this girl, years old,
and try to develop her with her

help into a recording artist and
to change her life, and this is

the kind of record she would make.

So I think you're trying
to get into her head here.

No, no.

Wrap it up, guys.

We have to move on.

Drew, well done.

: , central.

Okay, let's go back to the over s.

Nicole scherzinger, over to you.

All the way from Seattle,
Washington, singing a song from

"the runaway bride,"
this is Leroy bell.

I never thought this would happen.

If you had told me at I would
be walking the red carpet, I

would have said you're kidding, right?

You look very young.

Thank you.

Being on the red carpet was
something you dream about when

you're a kid, you know?

That's Al Pacino right there.

You never think it's going
to be a part of your life.

Amazing.

In Seattle, my hometown
support is awesome.

Go, Leroy.

People are totally behind,
tweeting, signs, feels great.

My son has people yelling at him.

Good luck with your dad on x factor.

I picked a song from his favorite band.

This is where he feels more at home.

He's got to have a wow performance.

Otherwise, he could be in trouble.

I just want Leroy to be Leroy.

Tonight I'm going to be in my
own element just being me.

Leroy bell!

you know, Leroy, I'm really happy,
because you finally got it right.

Like I was getting bored.

I'm not going to lie.

I thought the song choices over
the past weeks were questionable.

But this time I think you got it right.

So congratulations to you.

Thank you.

Leroy, I've been waiting
for this performance.

Nicole, well done!

Great, great song for you.

And you were so in your element.

You may have been singing "I
found what I'm looking for," but

America has found what
they're looking for.

Great, great.

Leroy, you know, I'm used to
working with older people.

And one of the -- I don't believe
there should be a cap on ages.

I have no issue with that.

Actually, the fact that you at
years old came out, sounded

like a -year-old, competing
with teenagers, you were

dignified, you were in control,
it was classy, I think this is

your best performance by a clear mile.

Thank you, Simon.

Thank you.

Thank you, Simon.

And aside from being years
old, let's put that aside,

you're just great is what you are.

Thank you.

I felt like we were at
Mariah's rock concert and you

took us to church at
the same time, honey.

Brimming with confidence.

Brilliant.

After the break -- the
spotlight is on Paula Abdul.

She lost an act last week, so
has she got enough to keep her

two remaining groups on the show?

The first that's up
next is lakoda rayne.

Welcome back to movie
night on the x factor.

Let's catch up with Twitter.

We've had . million tweets so far.

That's fabulous.

You've obviously got a lot to say
about our judges and our acts.

Keep them coming.

We appreciate your support.

We really do.

To get online, get involved, use
the hashtag below and let them

know what you think.

Judge the judges.

Okay, next to sing tonight,
the first of the groups.

Their mentor is Paula Abdul.

From the movie "how to lose a
guy in days," here are my

girls, the amazing lakoda rayne.

It's amazing to be here
again for another round.

We get to be back on that stage again.

It's honestly surreal to know
that just a couple weeks ago I

was a normal school girl.

Back home in New Jersey, our
regular everyday life consists

of school, volleyball praice and
squeeze in on my singing when I can.

We have so much support back home.

There's posters, t-shirts, flyers.

It's been crazy.

This is my entire grade.

This week I picked a country pop song.

Something pop, something country.

When you put your arms around me ♪

Baby there ain't
nothing in this world I can't do ♪



♪I wanna feel the sunshine ♪


Sun shining down on me and you ♪


When you put your arms around me ♪

all right.

So you took my advice.

You decided to be one or the other,
and you did it the right way.

You know what?

You've become my favorite girl
group in the entire competition.

Thank you.

There's only one.

There's only one girl group.

Pedal faster.

I know that.

All right.

So I grew up in Kentucky.

And do you know how popular I would
be if I took y'all home with me?

Wow, your presence together
continues to be such -- so natural.

You have such good chemistry, girls.

What I love about you always is
you're effortless and I got to

hear you each individually
sing tonight and I love that.

Thank you.

Girls, I've got to say, after the
absolute horror show last week -- .

It was like last week you were the
musical version of "the Stepford wives."

Now because we got rid of the
silly outfits, the silly season,

you are the group I always
hoped and prayed you'd become.

I agreed with Nicole.

I thought individually you were great.

I want to use this opportunity to
announce something about Paula.

The movie was called -- "how
to lose a guy in days."

Paula is doing the follow-up,
"how do lose a guy in one day."

Really?

It hasn't worked.

You've been next to me
for, what, years?

Girls, I am so proud of you.

We love you, Paula.

I love you, girls.

I tell you, you're clearing
your path to an imminent Pepsi

spotlight, because I see
you all over Pepsi.

You're amazing.

Fabulous comments.

Thanks, Paula.

Coming up -- the high school
student rapper from Brooklyn.

It's astro after the break.

Welcome back to movie
night on the x factor.

Up next, it's the second of the boys.

Here's L.A. reid.

All right.

From the Oscar-winning film
" mile," this is astro.

Amazing.

No words to describe it, man.

Like I love it and much more.

Let me talk about you and the ladies.

How's that going?

Did she like it?

She liked you a lot.

A little too much.

Take it away.

This is a taste of the life you will
receive if you win the competition.

If I was home in Brooklyn,
I'd be watching this.

When I'm home in Brooklyn, my
friend calls me to come inside.

-- Outside.

Do you always write your lyrics down?

Yeah, I always write them down.

I've been writing and prog since
I was years old, making

jokes, writing letters to girls.

They would turn into love
songs like different things.

I think L.A. does ask a lot
of astro, having to write his

own material every week.

We need a hook.

Astro's capable of
writing songs a week.

Astro.

♪I'm lost in the moment I
look around expecting to see a

this ain't the pity factor

so I don't show no emotions, I

feel it when I'm flowing living
a dream with grown men hating

for me to fail like Dr.

cause the only thing free
was the host of b.E.T.

I'm feeling myself and not afraid to
show it if you put me on stage I'm going

to own it you better lose
yourself in the music, the moment

you better lose yourself in the music the
moment you only get one sh*t one sh*t

y'all ain't even heard yet

I made it this far and I ain't shed a

Thank you, thank you.

Astro, I'm just in awe
of you right now.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

That was so heavy.

This is what separates the good
from the great, the amateurs

from the real contenders.

Watching how you work, your
whole creative process, the

lyrics that you write, how
powerful they are, honey, you

are a champion tonight.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Astro, that level of focus that you
have is what creates superstars.

You have the ability to
transcend your voice through a

myriad of genres, and that's what puts
astro in a league all of your own.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

You're so welcome.

This is so irritating.

Why?

You're like the cat
who's got the cream.

Thank you.

Astro, can I say something?

I've done my day job
for a long, long time.

And what I like about you is
that I believe that every star

has to have a work ethic.

You have that work ethic.

You are incredibly creative.

I think you actually are a
great role model right now.

Thank you.

You know, we call the show
the x factor because we're

looking for that indefinable
something special, and, astro,

you have the x factor.

Thank you so much.

You know what, astro?

I could not be more proud of you.

What really makes me proud is
that you have -- you have the

audacity to take eminem's song,
and eminem is one of the

greatest that's ever
done it ever, right?

And rewrite his lyrics.

And actually do a great job with it.

So, I mean, that's bravery, man.

Thank you.

So I really applaud you for
really charting new territory.

You're a star.

Thank you.

Thank you.

My man.

Well, that went rather well.

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling wonderful.

Somebody requested on Twitter
that I shout out to everybody

representing team astro.

So shout out to all my
astronauts in the building.

Well done, well done.

After the break, a trainee
nurse from sunrise, Florida,

gets her sh*t at making
it to the final .

It's Melanie amaro.

Welcome back to movie
night on the x factor.

There is a lot of action on Twitter.

We've been keeping
track of your tweets.

You've been talking up the
judges an absolute storm, too.

Look at this.

Oh, it seems that L.A.
reid is the most popular judge at the moment.

Whoopsie.

Can someone get a
band-aid for Simon's ego?

Go ahead and tweet one of the judges.

You never know.

They might tweet you back.

Up next tonight, the
second of the girls.

Here's the third most popular
judge, Simon cowell.

Can I, first of all, ask for a
recount, please, because that

doesn't sound right to me.

Irritating.

Okay.

Start tweeting me, please.

From the movie, this is it,
representing Florida, it is the

brilliant Melanie amaro.

I was studying nursing.

Right now my parents told me there have
been a lot of viewing parties for me.

As we've come to expect back
home in South Florida, it was

another packed watch party for Melanie.

It's so strange having all these people
like and admire the things you do.

Dozens of people wearing these,
taking over this restaurant.

It's ridiculous.

I feel like a celebrity.

Melanie, every week I'm trying to
push her outside of her comfort zone.

Can't really sing too
much right now or talk.

The doctor's asking me to be
a vocal rest for a while.

You can't get sick on this show.

She's not talking and saving her voice.

The worst thing to have
right now is a sor throat.

I would hate for me to have my voice
recovered before the live show.

I definitely don't want to go home.

Melanie amaro!

all right, Melanie.

Melanie, that was really good.

It was really good.

You're a great singer.

You're a really great singer.

I didn't find it that inventive.

I thought it was really strong,
but it was predictably strong.

She always does song likes that.

I didn't find it that inventive,
but you're a great singer.

You can sing anything.

But I don't see the range in choice.

It was good.

Yeah, she does the same
kind of song every time.

Simon, that's a brilliant song choice.

It could be a mentor issue.

I can't help it.

I love this song.

I can't get enough of this song.

I think the whole world
needs this song.

Of course we love the song.

Of course we love the song.

We love the song.

And her voice is a vessel of the
light and love that this song

was made and created from.

I think she made Michael proud tonight.

Music heals the world, and
your voice truly does that.

You are a remarkable singer, Melanie.

You know what?

The best thing to do, she can
sing the phone book from now on.

You can give her anything you want.

Well done, Melanie.

Melanie, to use a British expression,
you were bloody fantastic.

And, L.A., regarding what you
said, that is called a tribute.

That's what she did.

And, Melanie, this, for me, was
your best performance in the

whole competition so far, because you
sang it with sincerity, passion.

Oh, oh.

You hit that big note at the end.

That's called range, L.A.

You did amazing.

Congratulations.

Are you happy?

After the break, five best
friends from Houston, Texas.

They were in the bottom two last week.

Can they win your votes tonight?

It's the stereo hogzz
when we come back.

Welcome back to the x
factor, movie night.

Up next, it's the final group.

Here's their mentor, Paula Abdul.

America, I am so honored to
present this next group.

These guys are best
friends from Houston.

They've got the goods all the
way and they're most worthy of

your love and support.

It's the stereo hogzz and it's
from the movie "get smart."

Stereo hogzz.

Stereo hogzz and intensity got the
lowest votes from you at home.

They must now sing for survival.

Intensity, I'm going to
have to send you home.

I was very shocked to see the
stereo hogzz in the bottom two.

To be in the bottom two last week
definitely came as a reality check.

I'm here to perform.

I want to be an entertainer.

That's all I want to do.

Where I grew up, Houston, Texas, was
on the wrong side of the tracks.

I was raised by my mother.

I didn't have a father at all.

The first time I knew I wanted to do
music was when I saw Mike do "thriller."

I feel really close to
this dream right now.

You can almost taste it.

At any moment, we could go home.

I'm very excited for what the stereo
hogzz are going to present this week.

Do I love how they
sounded week on week?

No, I don't.

We're not going to let America down.

We're here to stay and we're
going to prove it tonight.

stereo hogzz, you know what?

Last week was a tough week for
you guys because you came in the

bottom of the vote, and you came
back this week and this is --

this is your recovery week, right?

But you did a song that I'm
not that familiar with.

So you did a gat job.

You guys look amazing.

You always entertain.

But I didn't know the song.

It's a big Christina aguilera record?

From when, from which decade?

I don't remember that record.

From which decade!

Look, I'm a real -- all
I gotta say is bananas.

Bananas.

It was bananas.

Seriously, that was my favorite
performance from y'all yet.

It really was.

It was smooth.

It was sharp.

Paula, kudos to you.

That choreography was slick.

And Scotty.

Shout out to Scotty.

Shout out to team stereo, too.

We love you.

Talk to my sister, too.

I love you.

That was really helpful
advice, Nicole, bananas.

Bananas.

It's American.

It has nothing to do with bananas.

I think your choreography,
your work ethic is amazing.

I think the problem I have with
you, the three, is that you're

not making -- you're not performing
the record you would make.

You've got much closer week one,
but this sounded more current.

This is now -- I think they
-- my problem with you as a

recording group is that you've
got to become less cabaret, and

you've now got to become
recording artists.

Simon, thank you.

I could not disagree with you more.

This fits right in the
vain for movie week.

This is a gre song.

Love you, Paula.

These guys have been working so hard.

I said that.

Trace, step forward.

Take a bow, take a bow.

America, vote for the stereo hogzz.

Thank you, Paula.

Thank you, stereo hogzz.

After the break -- the
final over singer.

It's a guy from Columbus,
Ohio, Josh krajcik.

He's singing for a spot in the
final when we come back.

Welcome back to the x factor.

It's movie night.

Up next, the final singer
from the over s.

Here's Nicole scherzinger.

Nicole?

Hey, what's up, America.

This is my boy, Josh krajcik, and this
song is from "across the universe."

I'm Josh krajcik.

After it went so well, it's
great to have family there.

I'm happy for mom, because she's
having a blast with this.

Every single time he sings,
it takes my breath away.

Back in Columbus, people are crazy.

He's our local star.

I had no idea we were going to have
a celebrity in our town like that.

People are going crazy in Ohio.

The papers are putting signs up.

Back at the restaurant, they
made a krajcik burrito.

I hope it's delicious.

Josh is doing a Joe cocker song this
week that's perfect for his voice.

Risky.

He has to prove he can sing
as well as Joe cocker.

Call and return?

I think the biggest challenge
is I have to go out there and

show how I'm very different and
I'm going to do this my way.

Josh krajcik!

yes, Josh, really strong,

One of my favorite voices.

One of my favorite songs.

Well done.

Thank you.

Josh, your voice, it's comforting.

It's like chicken soup for the soul.

And you did not take a risk.

This is who you are.

You're amazing, amazing,
amazing, amazing.

Beyond.

Josh, loved the song choice.

First half didn't quite work.

Second half was great.

I've just got to say one quick
criticism is that because this

is your mentor's kind of
responsibility, you were like

Dracula and the brides up there.

And I think next week you've
got to lose all the gimmicks.

Just you on a stage singing a song.

Simon, don't hate.

Just congratulate.

Oh, I love this right now.

Steven, don't you talk.

Josh, you are so worthy and ready for
a $ million recording contract.

May I?

Last week my mom was here.

That's super important to me.

Just never been so proud for you,
excited for you in my life.

Number one, your sobriety, number one.

And then this fabulous chance
to show off your music.

It was heartbreaking for her to
watch me go through my addiction.

It's devastating to
see where I'm at now.

Yeah, mama.

She's just proud that I made it
through the struggle and am a

stronger man today because of that.

With Chris rene, this week
I think we nailed it.

You have a connection
to who is out there.

He's got to be the Chris rene
we saw on that first audition.

I have to show the world a lot

I thought I was a king but
I was acting like a clown.

you've stopped what you've done.

You've stopped what you've
promised you would do and

hopefully this show is going to
make your life what you want it

to be, because I think you
are a potential real star.

And, L.A., I have to say this.

You've done a great job
with your acts tonight.

Amazing.

Thank you, thank you.

I'm really proud of you.

After the break -- the Colorado school
girl who's singing for her very own

bathroom.

It's Rachel crow.

She's up next.

On the x factor.

In just a few minutes the voting
lines will open and you will

decide which acts go through
to next week's show.

Before that, our last act,
it's the final girl.

Here's Simon cowell.

Okay.

This is from the movie
"Cadillac record."

And you know the expression
you saved the best for last?

Here comes a big surprise coming here.

Rachel crow.

I'm from a tiny town in Colorado.

My husband and I went to see
her for the first time.

I couldn't stop holding her.

I knew instantly that I loved her
and we bonded really, really close.

I told her we were soul mates and we
just had to find each other, you know.

She had a really rough start in life.

She's always truly the happiest,
loving girl all the time.

This is so cool.

Who would have thought a few
months ago I would be here on

this carpet with Adam sandler.

I love you.

Adam sandler loves you.

I'm so proud of her and happy.

Rachel, I don't think I've
done a good job on her so far,

truthfully, but I listen and I
listen to her and we've come up

with a song which I think is k*ller.

This could be a game-changer for her.

Up until now, I wasn't sure if
you were a tue contender for

the $ million prize, but tonight
you proved that you have

your eye on the prize.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You were great.

My favorite yet.

Thank you.

Rachel, you knew this already,
but, Simon, I'm just so

happy that you listened to me
and took my advice and you

finally picked a song --
can I tell you something?

I picked my song this week.

H.

That's right.

That would explain it.

But I'm so glad that
Simon agreed with it.

That would explain it.

That was amazing.

I don't know where you get that soul.

Only God knows, honey.

Baby girl, baby girl, do I love you.

I love you, too.

I'm so glad you are
teaching this man humility.

You were amazing.

Rachel, the best performance.

This is who you are on that stage.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Brilliant.

Paula, I'm not afraid to admit when
I get something wrong, unlike you.

The point is when you have a
relationship with an artist whom

you trust and I trust Rachel
-- I trust you, Simon.

Not only do I trust you, I adore you.

You know who you're lie?

You reminded me tightf
a mini little Beyonce.

You've got that winning
attitude, and right n you are

Thank you.
