The final seven.

That's why they are the final
seven, because they're brilliant.

If you want to download that performance
or any of last night's music, go to

thexfactorusa.Com.

Okay.

This is a critical night for the
contestants, and it's going to

be critical for the mentors, too.

Good evening, judges.

They were performing classic
Michael Jackson songs, and they

had to do it in front
of Michael's family.

No pressure.

No pressure, was there?

Take a look.

It's Michael Jackson week.

Marlon, tito and Jackie.

Prince, Paris, blanket, Katherine.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Jacksons.

I don't miss an
episode of this show.

And I'm so happy to be here so I

and I'm so happy to be here so I get to see it in person.

You were over-produced.

I think it was your weakest
performance so far.

Unlike how you mentor some of
your contestants, we actually

like to take risks.

When you do a song like dirty
Diana, why not roll the dice on

doing something big.

We wanted to challenge ourselves.

Why not challenge ourselves?

[Rapping]

It don't matter if
you're black or white.

I think you're extraordinary.

I think you could win this competition.

Thank you, thank you.

I would like to think the
Jackson family is as proud of

you as I am, because
that was truly amazing.

Truly amazing. One of those moments.

The whole chair thing,
I don't understand that.

You're playing it safe with drew.

The whole point of tonight -- ]]
even the artist wanted to stand up.

By doing it simply,
that's what you did.

Sitting down, it
doesn't even matter.

Who cares if it's a chair?

♪ forget it now, yeah ♪
can you feel it ♪ can you feel it

♪ can you feel it it
wasn't the best I've seen.

I don't feel the
song gave you justice.

Well, it's obviously
anti-Simon night tonight,

Rachel, so I wouldn't take any notice.

It's what are called
mind games, darling.

I'm really okay.

I'll be fine.

You did good.

I'm so proud of you.

You did good.

♪ I want to love you ♪
pretty young thing ♪ you need some lovin'

♪ lovin' care ♪ and I'll take you
there I hope America recognizes and

appreciates you for that
amazing talent you are.

You are the whole package.

You're the entertainer of this show.

With the Jackson five
family out there, crazy, man.

Incredible.

That's all that matters.

♪ I have faith in all you do ♪ uh, uh ♪
just call my name ♪ I'll be there

I cannot wait until you have
an album out so I can buy it.

You know you are the truth.

You're the most original
artist in this competition.

That's going to pay off big for you
when it comes time to make records.

Records. Now, that's Michael Jackson.

I forgot that we were in a
competition, and I felt that we

were at a Melanie amaro concert.

It was one of the best performances
I've seen on this entire show.

You don't get those comments
all the time when you perform.

Melanie, amazing.

I'm very proud of you.

You're amazing.

What a night, Simon.

That's the show I signed up for.

How was it for you?

I haven't got a clue
what's going to happen.

It was magic last night.

Paula, you actually
worked with Michael Jackson.

Do you think we did
the great man proud?

Last night was a very special night.

I'm hoping -- no, I absolutely believe
with all my heart we did him proud.

Nicole, did you enjoy yourself?

Absolutely.

I just want to thank the Jackson
family again for coming out and

just blessing us and honoring
Michael with us yesterday.

Finally, L.A.?

Mr. personality, do you
remember that I was here.

Wonderful night.

Wonderful night last night.

Outstanding.

Best of luck this evening, guys.

Hope you make the right decision.

Big night.

Here's a quick reminder.

There's a new album out of
Michael Jackson's music.

It's called "immortal."

It's also the soundtrack to
cirque du soleil's new show,

"Michael Jackson: The immortal
world tour," which will be

playing across America.

So the votes are in, and two acts
will be heading home tonight.

It's the results right after the it's
the results right after the break.

- The results.

Last week we saw what happened
when Pepsi allowed you at home

to help create the Pepsi
choice performance.

It was phenomenal.

Out there, but phenomenal.

Now for the first time ever we're
handing the show over to you.

You're helping the contestants
get one step closer to the $

million recording contract and
the chance to star in their very

own Pepsi commercial.

Next week all of the acts will
be singing two songs and you can

choose one of them.

It's called the Pepsi challenge.

So to pick songs for each contestant,
go to thexfactorusa.Com.

But, the big question tonight is --
which act will be back next week?

It's time to find out who
you at home have voted for.

Please welcome back the final seven.

Nicole scherzinger and the last singer
from the over s, Josh krajcik.

L.A. reid and the boys, astro,
Chris rene and Marcus canty.

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

Ladies and gentlemen,
the x factor finalists.

Okay.

Based on your votes, four acts will go
straight through to next week's show.

That will leave us with three.

The act with the lowest number of
votes will leave the competition.

Then the remaining two acts with
the next lowest votes will have

to sing for survival.

Good luck to everyone.

This is it.

These results are in
no particular order.

America, the first act you voted
through is -- Chris rene.

Yes, it's you, Chris.

You're one of the final five.

Congratulations.

Yeah, whoo.

The second act you voted
through is -- Melanie amaro.

[Cheers and applause]

Well done, Melanie.

You're one of the final five.

The third act you voted into next
week's show is -- Rachel crow.

[Cheers and applause]

Well done, Rachel.

I knew it, I knew it.

I knew it.

So Chris rene, Melanie amaro
and Rachel crow are through

thanks to you at home.

That leaves Marcus canty,
astro, drew and Josh krajcik.

One is automatically
through to next week.

One with the lowest votes is
automatically out of the competition.

And the other two must
sing for survival.

After the break, rap superstar
tinie tempah performs live and

we'll get the next results.

Do not move.

Do not move. Do not move.

- The results.

Before the break, your votes put
Rachel crow, Chris rene and

Melanie amaro into the final
five, which means Josh krajcik,

astro, drew and Marcus canty are still
waiting to hear if they've made it.

The harsh reality is only
two more will go through.

They're all backstage right now.

Guys, good news and bad news is,
the good news, two of you are

going through to two next week's
show with a one in five chance

of walking away with a $
million wording contract.

The bad news, two of you
are about to go home.

What's the atmosphere back there?

Astro, how are you feeling?

Man, I'm feeling great.

I want to thank team
astro, the astronauts.

This is not the end of the road for me.

I'm having fun.

I wish everyone else good luck.

Drew, you're looking upset.

Are you okay?

What's going through your mind?

I'm scared, but, you know, I
believe that my fans voted for me.

And I'm going to -- I'm
going to keep going.

Okay.

Marcus, how are you feeling?

Hey, man.

It's pretty intense back here, man.

You feel the pressure, you know.

But I'm staying strong.

My mom taught me to stay strong.

I'm staying strong for you.

I love you, ma.

Finally, Josh, am I seeing you
sporting a worried face, Josh?

I haven't seen you worried before.

That's a new face.

Yeah, I'm a little nervous
because of the final seven, I

think anybody could win and
anybody could go home.

There's a lot of pressure.

I'm feeling it.

Thank you, guys.

Best of luck.

Try and relax, if that's possible.

Before we get those results,

It's amazing.

After the break, two more acts
make it through to the final

five and two go home.

Five and two go home. We'll be right back.

- The results.

We are live in Hollywood.

Earlier tonight Rachel crow, and
Melanie amaro made it through to

next week thanks to your votes.

Still hoping to make it through, Josh
krajcik, astro, drew, and Marcus canty.

Two of them will be heading home.

Let's find out who else
America has put through.

Best of luck to everyone.

This is it.

The final act going straight through
to next week is -- Josh krajcik.

Well done, Nicole.

We'll see you both next week.

So, guys -- well done, Josh.

Off you go.

Guys, join me in the middle.

Simon, if I could push you
off just a little bit.

So three acts are left --
Marcus canty, astro and drew.

One got the lowest votes from you at
home and is leaving the competition now.

The other two will have
to sing for survival.

Let's remind ourselves
what was said last night.

Drew, last night L.A.
said you took Billie Jean and made it

your own, but Nicole said she thought
Simon was playing it safe with you.

Astro, last night Simon said he
was glad the public kept you and

you deserved to be here, but
Nicole said she didn't think

this is her favorite
performance from you.

Marcus, last night Paula said you
are the entertainer of the show.

We're so lucky to have you.

But Simon said the vocals
weren't that good.

But what did America think?

Let's find out.

Good luck to all of you.

The act leaving the competition
and going home is -- astro.

Astro, if I can grab him
for just a moment, L.A.

I'm so sorry, astro.

Obviously not a very popular decision.

How are you feeling about it?

Get the hugs out of the way.

Give him a hug.

I want to talk to him.

As you can hear, not
a popular decision.

How are you feeling, astro?

How are you feeling?

I love you all team
astro, astronauts.

Have you enjoyed your
time on the x factor?

I loved my time.

You all, best of luck, team L.A.

Reid.

It ain't over.

L.A., what did you want to say?

You know what?

This is one of the most
fascinating guys I've ever met.

His talents are endless.

His career is promising to be amazing.

You know what?

You are a star.

Thank you.

It's that simple.

Let's take a look at a few of your
many, many highlights just up here.

Yo, yo, yo, Simon, this
is what I say to you.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world
that you walked into my life today.

You're a champion.

That was amazing.

Thank you.

You are a total star.

There's no words to describe it.

I love it.

Could not be more proud of you.

You are phenomenal.

Team astro and all the
astronauts, but mostly hip hop,

I'll never let you down again.

You did a great job.

Thanks.

Astro, the music business
needs unpredictability.

♪ it's black, it's white ♪
dope astro, is there anything

you'd like to say to Marcus and drew,
who are still awaiting their fate?

I want to wish y'all
the best of luck.

Once again, I want to thank team
astro and all the astronauts

and, Molly, I love you.

I'll see you soon.

Ladies and gentlemen,
for the final time, astro.

Thank you, guys.

Off you go, astro.

We'll see you later.

So that leaves Marcus canty and drew.

They will now have to
sing for survival.

Drew, very quickly,
how are you feeling?

I'm nervous.

And I just hope everybody can
see my true talent and I hope

that shows in my save me song.

Marcus, quick word from yourself.

You know, I was here last week.

I was hoping I wasn't here again.

But, I mean, I'm just
giving you my soul tonight.

I'm going to give you
everything I've got.

That's all I can do.

L.A., you've just lost one boy.

What's going through
your mind right now?

I've still got two.

I love astro.

Everybody loves astro.

I think he was great
for the show, right?

But it is what it is.

And Marcus will have
to do his thing now.

I'm confident that he will.

And good luck to you, drew.

Simon, new territory for you.

What advice can you give drew?

Whoever does the best at this
point deserves to go through.

So two acts.

Only one can go through.

Everything depends on
the next performance.

For Marcus and drew it's the
final showdown when we come

final showdown when we come back.

- The results.

So far tonight four acts have
made it into the final five.

There's just one spot left, and
drew and Marcus canty must now

sing for survival.

Then it will be up to the judges
to decide who stays and who goes.

This is the final showdown.

Let's talk to our completely
impartial judge Paula Abdul.

Paula, what are you looking
for from drew and Marcus?

Well, this is the part of the
show that's the save me song.

Now's the time.

No one wants anyone to go home.

They're all great, but they have
to come out, not only give a

great performance, but they have
to prove to us why we shouldn't

cast a vote to send them home.

I want them to hijack this and k*ll it.

Let's find out, shall we?

Simon cowell, please
introduce your act.

Okay.

You know who's coming up next.

Sweetheart, best of luck.

It's drew.

It's drew. Drew!

L.A. reid, time to introduce your act.

Are we ready?

We're ready.

We're ready. This is Marcus canty.

Marcus canty.

Start, before I start, I just

Well done, guys.

So we have two acts.

Both desperate to be back next week.

But only one will make it.

The judges must decide.

I don't know how you're going
to separate these two.

I really don't.

That life-changing decision that life-changing
decision right after the break.

- The results.

So far tonight Rachel crow
Melanie amaro, and Josh krajcik

have made it through to next week
and astro has left the competition.

That leaves us with
drew and Marcus canty.

Now it's all up to the judges.

One act will be heading home.

This is it.

Best of luck to both of you.

L.A. reid, what is the name of the
act you are sending home tonight?

Well, first, let me say this.

For both of you, it's
been an amazing journey.

And, drew, I've had fun with you.

And I know at times you thought
I was being mean, but never.

Because I've always believed in.

And I've only complimented your
talent and you've done a great

job and your save me song
was quite well done.

I really loved the walk.

That was great.

Marcus, you know I believed in
you from the very first audition

and you've kept it up.

You've worked really hard.

You've done a great job, and
I couldn't be more proud.

But I don't want anybody to
think that this is an easy

decision simply because
Marcus is on team L.A.

The truth is I'm very, very torn here.

But the act that I'm sending home --
could I have a name please, L.A.?

It's drew.

You're sending home drew.

I'm sending home drew.

That's one against drew.

Simon, what is the name of the
act you're sending home tonight?

The reason drew is in this
position tonight is my fault.

I take total full responsibility.

I shouldn't have done
what I'd done last night.

I should have listened to what
everybody else was saying.

Therefore I'm the reason
you're there, drew, not you.

I feel you deserve a second chance.

What do you feel you did last night?

I did it wrong.

I shouldn't have chosen to the song.

It was too slow.

I'm begging these two to
give her another chance.

I really am.

Marcus, I really like you, but
this is the second time you've

been in the bottom.

And I genuinely with all my heart
believe the person America

wants to say is drew.

Marcus, I'm sending you home.

One apiece.

One against Marcus.

One apiece.

Nicole, it's coming to you.

What's the name of the act
you're sending home tonight?

I know that I've been really
hard on you the past few weeks,

drew, but it's only because
you're one of the best, and I

believe in you so much.

I know that you're going to have
a long career ahead of you, a

good recording career, but
you're so young already still.

Your voice is one of the best
in the competition, no doubt.

And you did an unbelievable
job on your save me song.

Judging off of the performance
that I've seen tonight, Marcus,

when you sing and you perform, I
feel like your heart and your

soul is on the floor for
everybody, and you go to a

vulnerable place that very
few people can go to.

I need an answer.

Both of you, truly, this is
a very hard decision for me.

I -- but the act that I'm
sending home is drew.

That's two against drew.

One against Marcus.

Paula, if you send home
drew, she goes home.

You send home Marcus,
we go to deadlock.

Paula, can I have the name of the
act you're sending home tonight?

This is -- this is -- I love
and respect both of you and I

think that you are multi-talented and
I believe both of you no matter what

deserve recording contracts.

That's the truth.

But I went out -- you asked me what
I'm looking for in this save me song.

To move, move, move me.
Nd it has I'm sorry.

I'm sending you home, drew.

Marcus, congratulations.

We'll see you next week.

Drew, I'm sorry, we have
to ask you to leave.

Thank you, Marcus.

Off you go, sir.

Well done.

Drew, can you speak about
how you're feeling?

I want to say thank you to my
fans and I'm going to keep going

and I'm going to keep singing because
I have a lot to show you guys.

And it's a lot more different.

Simon, what do you want to say?

Simon, just one word?

Drew, let's take a look at your
best moments that are up there.

I'm drew.

I'm years old.

I'm from chino valley, Arizona.

You are special.

Wow.

Drew, you have four yeses.

You are in my final four.

Are you serious?

I'm not her mentor.

She is my mentor now.

Can I give you a hug?

Of course.

Go ahead.

You are simply brilliant
beyond your years.

Tonight I'm dedicating my
song to give thanks to my best

friend in the whole world, shelby.

♪ like a skyscraper the song means
that much to me that it's going out to

everyone who felt worthless or
felt like they're not good enough.

Simon, what do you
want to say to drew?

You know what?

I don't think she deserves to go home.

I think she's a little star.

And I think America knows that
she is going to be a star.

And thank you for everyone
who voted for her.

What would you like to
say to the other judges?

I don't.

One final word.

I love all of you guys.

Ladies and gentlemen,
for the last time, drew.

So, America, we have our final five.

Rachel crow, Chris rene, Melanie amaro,
Josh krajcik, and Marcus canty.

One of them will win a $
million recording contract.

Next week, the battle heats up
once again because the acts will

all be performing two songs,
trying to win your votes.

And we'll have rock
royalty in the studio.

Len Lenny kravitz and Mary j.
Blige will be here.

It's been a shocking night, full
of emotion, but we will be back

next Wednesday at : , : central.

Stay tuned for "bones."
