Boot camp began.

it's called boot camp for a

Reason.

Limit...

Have to send you home.

Next round.

Performances continue.

and there is one final

Challenge...

before the final are

Revealed.

we've made a decision.

oh, god, oh, no!

they'll be split into four

Categories, and the judges

Will discover which category

They will mentor for the rest

Of the competition.

a decision has been made.

the category we want you to

Mentor is...

just tell me who I've got,

Please.

This is total, utter .

welcome to the x factor

And the second installment of

Bootamp.

Toughest week of their lives.

They came face to face with the

Judges--simon cowell,

Paula abdul, nicole scherzinger,

And l.A. Reid.

it's called boot camp for a

Reason.

This is gonna separate the good

People from the not-so-good

People.

by the end of tonight, only

The strongest acts will

Remain.

They'll be split into four

Categories--boys, girls, over

s, and groups.

Each judge will be given a

Category to mentor for the

Remainder of the competition,

And next week they'll each

Invite their category to their

Homes, where the acts will

Battle to make it through to the

Live shows.

let's k*ll it!

the competition for a place

At the judges' homes began in

Last night's show.

it's gonna k*ll some people.

and so far, the contestants

Have beepushed teir limit.

again.

boot camp is, like, really

Scary.

they keep us in the dark.

It's like we don't know anything

Until the last second.

there's no sleeping.

You know, it might as well be

Navy seal hell week at this

Point.

oh, my god, boot camp.

I'm very exhausted.

and the numbers have been

Whittled down to surviving

Acts.

it's my only chance.

last night you saw the

Remaining acts split into groups

And asked to learn and perform a

Song together.

With everyone fighting for a

Place in the next round, the

Competition was intense.

Groups had to work well

Together, while individual acts

Were desperate to shine through.

The stakes have never been

Higher, because when this

Challenge is over, a third of

The acts will be going home.

It's midway through the ensemble

Challenge, and there are still

Five groups to perform in front

Of the judges.

The next group up consists of

Brennin hunt, equality,

Marcus canty, matthew johnson,

Ma'at bingham shango,

Chris rene, and his sister,

Gina rene, and they're all

Anxious to find out what song

The judges have chosen for them.

ah, what's going on,

Marvin gaye!

we picked the right one!

the group will be performing

Marvin gaye's number-one

R&b hit what's going on, and it

Looks like marcus canty is

Pretty excited about it.

whoo!

we picked the right one!

They gave us the song that we

Have for a reason.

Based on the voices that are in

My group, I feel like that song

Was chosen perfectly.

the judges first met marcus

At the seattle auditions.

I wish those days could



come back once more



I tell you, marcus, you are

One to watch.

oh, whoa, whoa



also hoping to make it

Through the challenge is

Chris rene and his sister gina.

what if we did the harmonies

Like...

oh, whoa, whoa



You take the harmony.

chris impressed the judges in

Seattle with an original song...

hey, young homey



what you trippin' on?



and his tale of survival.

I just got out of rehab,

Actually.

oh, wow.

how long you been clean?

days.

good for you.

I've been clean and sober for

days today.

My sister--we both made it here.

It's a frickin' miracle, and

She's like, "I'm here for you."

chris' sister gina auditioned

In los angeles, where she

Impressed the judges with her

Rap skills...

so you act just like



a chicken when you cluck



but failed to deliver the

Confidence they were looking

For.

you're actually really

Talented, but you gotta believe

It right here.

my first audition definitely

Didn't go as planned, so I know

When I go onstage tonight, it's

My time.

I have to do this.

brother, brother, brother



ooh



we both do solo music.

We don't do it together.

This is gonna give us an

Opportunity to perform together.

We're definitely here for each

Other.

so, after just five hours of

Rehearsal, time is up.

The judges await, and all

Seven acts in the group must

Sing for their future.

all that I've been working

Towards, it's kind of come full

Circle now.

I just gotta go out there and

Leave it all on the stage.

I'm beyond committed to

Making it all the way to the

End.

This is it right here.

I'm feeling very vulnerable.

It's been years of hiding

Out, in a way, like, holding

Back.

here you go.

You get one.

I'm feeling really nervous,

'cause my dream is to be a

Singer.

It's just, wow.

stand by, guys.

Here we go.

group one, off you go.

Good luck. Have fun.

good luck.

two, three, four.

I loved it.

marcus was amazing.

I told you, that kid is

Something.

but he needs a lot of work.

You know that.

You feel the energy back here?

It was pumping?

yeah.

what's going on?



this girl, who I fought for,

Just absolutely lost it.

it's amazing, simon, when you

Put them in these groups, you

Really see a big difference.

oh, massive.

She's got to go.

welcome back to the x factor,

Where the group challenge is

Under way, and more and more

Groups of contestants are facing

The judges.

thanks, guys.

next up to face the judges

Are this group, made up of...

Mathew slovacek, tim cifers,

Hannah bethel, thomas wells,

Jeremy easley, and the group

Kingston.

we found out what song we're

Singing, which was

I won't let go by

Rascal flatts, and it's a

Country song, so, I mean, it

Can't be more perfect.

first the group works on

Their vocals with savan kotecha.

you're not alone



can we start--start it over?

in my own time with it?

Is that right?

yeah.

okay.

the piano's keeping the

Pulse.

-year-old beer distributor

Tim cifers impressed the judges

In his seattle audition.

ol' red's itchin'



to have a little fun



uh, yes, I think you have a

Real good voice.

Good presence.

I like you.

thank you, paula.

Winning this recording contract

Would just be completely life

Changing.

I would describe me as a very

Family-oriented person.

I've got a four-year-old son and

A three-month-old daughter,

And I miss 'em like crazy,

But this is the biggest

Opportunity for a music career

In my life.

remember that you guys are

Actors onstage, all right?

You're--you're--you're

Interpreting the material, so

You have to connect to it.

Just don't wail to wail.

Don't just sing it.

Make me believe it.

it would feel so great to do

Well in this competition.

You know, just to have simon,

Paula, nicole, and l.A. Accept

You and say, you know, "you've

Got what it takes to, you know,

Make it in the industry," that

Speaks volumes.

when I am performing onstage,

I feel like I am in my strongest

Element, and I feel like this

Is--this is what I was meant to

Do.

I haven't had five hours of

Sleep in three days, but it's

Okay.

It's necessary.

If you want to succeed, you

Got to put a lot of hard work

Into it, and this is a dream of

Mine.

I'll do what I have to do.

this group chooses a unique

Approach with their staging.

Each performer will come onto

The stage one by one.

are we ready to go?

yes, sir.

like the song?

love the song.

good. Okay.

Best of luck.





it's like a storm



that cuts a path



it breaks your will



it feels like that



you think you're lost



but you're not lost



on your own



you're not alone



I will stand by you



I will help you through



when you've done



all you can do



and you can't cope



I will dry



your eyes



I will fight your fight



I will hold you tight



and I won't let you



fall



don't be afraid to fall



you're gonna make it



you're gonna make it



yeah



you're gonna make it



I will dry your eyes



I will fight your fight



I will hold you tight



and I won't let you go



oh, I won't let you go



ooh, I'm gonna hold you



and I won't let go



thank you.

Thank you, guys.

I'm really impressed.

yeah, it's good.

I thought the guy with the

Hat was a star.

he was the star.

I think I saw a grin from,

Uh--from simon, so, yeah,

I think they--I think they liked

It.

I didn't get him before, but

He's got a really good tone.

He's a contender, that--that

Guy.

I don't know if he's a star,

But--

I don't know if he's a star

But he's a great singer.

welcome back to the x factor.

It's near the end of day two of

Boot camp, and there is just one

Final group left to perform for

The judges.

They are the brewer boys,

Henry bredouw, james douglas,

Emma henry, hannah jackson,

Ryan sims, kyle corr,

And christa collins.

I just want to go out there

And earn it.

I want to show them that

I really want to win this

Competition.

the stakes of the day are

Enormous, but two members of the

Group who don't have to face the

Pressure alone are brothers

Nathan and justin brewer.

we never usually get nervous,

But for something like this, you

Know, it's pretty intense.

the brewer boys impressed the

Judges at their first audition.

with--without question, you--

You wowed us.

thank you.

thank you so much.

Thank you.

I believe we have the

"x" factor because we have a

Unique sound that not a lot of

People have heard before.

Hopefully that'll take us

Somewhere.

hopefully.

two members of the group,

-year-old hannah jackson and

-year-old emma henry, have an

Important decision to make.

do we pretty much know what

Everyone wants to do?

Okay, so you guys have to fight

For it.

I really want three because

I think the words are more

Mature, like, as an adult.

This is everyone's time to

Shine, but we have to work

Together as a team.

thumb wrestle?

Coin toss?

Which one?

indian leg wrestle.

call it.

heads.

heads it is.

so, yeah.

it's definitely an emotional

Roller coaster, this whole

Process.

okay, here we go, folks.

Please, places.

happy with the song?

yes.

okay, ready when you are.

our dream would be to,

Actually, you know, win this

Thing, get the $ million and

Become famous and stuff and

Fulfill our true passion for

Music.

proving myself on this

Stage, in front of all of these

Amazing musicians would be

Awesome.

I'm ready.

I'm--I'm--I wouldn't have been

Ready at any other point in

Time.

I was meant to be here right now

At this moment.

my dream is to be able to

Play my music for people for a

Living and have it inspire them.

we'll do it all



everything



on our own

: :: those three words :

are said too much



they're not enough



if I lay here



if I just lay here



would you lie with me



and just forget the world?



forget what



we're told



before we get too old



show me a garden



that's bursting into life

: :: if I lay here :

if I just lay here



would you lie with me



and just forget the world?



forget what you're told



before we get too old



show me a garden



that's bursting into life



if I lay here



if I lay here



if I just lay here



if I lay here



would you lie with me



and just forget the world?



good job.

thanks, guys.

thank you.

with all of the group

Performances complete, the

Judges must now decide who to

Put through to the next round.

Out of the acts remaining in

The competition, one-third of

Them will be sent home today.

So our acts are all backstage,

Mulling over their performances.

Our judges are consulting

Their advisors.

Answers are coming.

Although the acts performed as

Groups, they'll be judged

Individually and on their own

Merit.

let's start with tiah.

I think it was not the right

Song.

I think she's good, though.

I want to keep her.

no, no.

probably most of us are gonna

Go home tonight, and I'm just

Hoping for the best.

how did you guys come out on

Siameze?

so-so on that song.

I thought he was a no.

no way.

yeah.

hell, no.

no, no, no.

yeah.

We're gonna have to lose people,

Guys.

I'm trying to imagine that

Going home isn't a possibility.

Our flight back would be kind of

Heartbreaking.

she's a no?

no.

she's a maybe.

she's got energy.

I promise you, she's a catalyst.

she's got energy, but, boy,

She can't sing.

I need this.

This is what I need to do.

I have a little something and

That's why I came here, and

I'm gonna show them.

I can work with that.

I had enough.

we're done.

How quickly can we get them in?

they have come to a decision.

All that's left to do now is

Tell the acts.

The contestants will be called

To the stage in three groups of

Either yeses or nos.

shadows fill



an empty heart



as love is fading



thank you so much for working

So hard.

Some of you took l.A.'s notes,

And some of you didn't.

All in all, we were very

Impressed.

We all discussed this...

And we've made a decision.

And that decision is...

Although you did a wonderful

Job, I'm sorry to say, it ends

Tonight.

change the colors



of the sky



thank you all so very much.

You're a talented lot of people

Here.

sorry, guys.

thank you, guys.

for all the things



that never d*ed



to make it through the night



love will find you



what about now?



what about today?



I just didn't make the cut.

and I don't understand what

It is!

Maybe I'm too talented!

Maybe it would just be a wrap

For anybody else to compete

Against me!

I don't need to sound like

Anybody else!

I sound like me!

I don't know who else I gotta

Talk to!

the next group, anxious to

Hear their fate, takes the

Stage.

first off, I just want to say

How proud I am of each and every

One of you, and congratulations

On making it this far...

But I have to be honest and

Speak from my heart.

You've made it through to the

Next round.

what about love?



congratulations.

what about today?



what if you're making me



all that I was meant to be?



huh, huh, huh, huh, huh.

I just can't believe I made

It this far.

and finally, the last group

To hear whether they made it

Through face the judges.

this was a very easy decision

For us, to be honest with you.

It's not good news.

It's great news.

what about now?



what about today?



what if you're making me



we did it!

We did it!

this is, like, the craziest

One so far.

It feels amazing.

what if our love



never went away?



what if it's lost behind...



you did it, you did it!

You are a star!

we made it to the next round.

I just love you so much,

Honey.

You had way more faith in me

Than I did.

That was the call I wanted to

Make.

Man!

before it's too late

welcome back to the x factor.

Before the break, acts found

Out they had made it through to

The final stage of boot camp,

And now it's time for them to

Discover what's next.

the bad news is, after

Tomorrow's challenge, half of

You are gonna be out of the

Competition.

The next challenge is that

Tonight you're gonna be given

About songs.

You've got to choose the one

Gut feeling.

It never fails you.

I know you're tired, but

Seriously, this is a $ million

Moment.

Really tough tomorrow, which

Means show up tomorrow and give

Us your absolute finest.

the good news, and I hope you

Do find this good news, is

You're not gonna be performing

Just in front of us.

Tomorr this thear's gonna

Be full of , people...

So go for it.

with just hours until the

Diencerrive, the btle is

On to make it into the final .

For those who do make it, things

Are about to hit a whole new

Level, because in the next

Stage of the competition, the

Final will be split into four

Categories--boys, girls, over

s, and groups.

The four judges will become a

Mentor to one category each and

Will invite the remaining acts

In their category to their home,

Where they'll decide who will

Make it to the live shows to

Face your votes.

Everybody wants to make it to

The judges' homes.

to be mentored by l.A. Reid

Or paula or nicole or simon, the

Experience for me would be,

Like, phenomenal.

it makes me want it so much

More.

I like the idea that I can

Take contestants I like, work

With them, guide them, and,

Ultimately, of course, win the

Competition.

it's the next day, and

Everybody is up early to prepare

For the most important audition

Of their lives.

Each act has chosen a song from

The list of given by the

Judges.

They will spend the day

Rehearsing with vocal coaches...

you'll do the key change,

Basically.

choreographers...

just bending your knees makes

It look like, "I'm gonna get

This out," and it shows the

Passion so much more.

and the musicians they will

Be performing with.

let's do it one more time and

Time it.

okay.

and with the knowledge that

Only half the acts will make it

To the judges' homes, the

Pressure is on.

And after a long day of

Rehearsal, the time has finally

Come.

all right, minutes, guys,

minutes.

outside, the audience start

To arrive.

oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh, let me see.

oh, my god.

People, so many people outside.

Place, the judges make their way

Inside.

let's find a star.

let's hit it.

Challenge of boot camp to begin.

First up with a chance to

Impress the judges and hopefully

Go on to judges' houses is

-year-old rachel crow.

up to the red line.

I'm scared.

I'm kind of nervous.

It's the biggest one, so, um,

I know that I was--I'm meant to

Be here.

it's a surprise.

all right, I like surprises.

okay.

if I were a boy



even just for a day



I'd roll out of bed



in the morning



and throw on what I wanted



and go



if I were a boy



I think I could understand



how it feels to love a girl



I swear I'd be a better man



I'd listen to her



'cause I know



how it hurts



when you lose



the one you wanted



'cause he's taking you



for granted



and everything you had



got destroyed



if you thought



I would wait for you



you thought wrong

but you're just a boy :

Thank you.

To judges' houses is -year-old

Josh krajcik.

I make burritos for a living.

That's my steady work.

I've also been a musician my

Whole life, but, um, the burrito

Work keeps me, uh, out of the

Poor house.

I've had a lot of defeats.

I've had, um, a lot of obstacles

And--and, uh, you know, things

To overcome, but, uh, I want to

Win, and, uh...

The only way to win is to not

Lose today, so, yeah, I'd say

I want it pretty bad.

I have to grasp that hand of

Fate and make it mine.

Hi.

My name's josh krajcik.

Uh, I'm .

I'm from columbus, ohio.

This performance has a lot

Riding on it.

Number one, I don't want to go

Back to, uh, making burritos for

A living and playing empty

Nightclubs.

I want to go on to be a star,

And I don't just want you to

Remember me for this

Performance.

I hope to have you remember it

Forever.

As a performer.

I really, really like you.

thank you, simon.

I bring to this competition

Something that the world has

Never seen before.

you know, in the solo act,

It'll probably be...

However you want to do that,

But you can take it slower and

Make it, show 'em, "look,

I can sing pretty, too, at the

End."

mm-hmm.

I have just an attitude when

I perform onstage.

I'm fierce.

I know that it's not about

Anyone else.

It's just about me and how

Fierce I am and what I bring to

The table.

I'm just gonna k*ll it.

I'm so confident.

I just feel like I'm completely

Prepared, and I just can't wait

To show off.

Other artist like me in the

World of music today.

Confidence from you.

What it takes to be the world's

Next pop icon, and that's why

I'm here.

simone, what are you singing?

I'm gonna sing your song,

Elton john.

forget the words



I do what I can







so



I'm sitting here



in front of y'all

: :: simone, you didn't remember,

I don't think, a single word of

That song.

I didn't.

It's not like me.

Um, you know, I was trying to do

Something different.

well, you did.

You just wrote a whole new song.

I promise you that, despite

What just happened, I can bring

It.

okay, thank you.

thank you.

Like, a little piece of me just

d*ed, because this is what

I want to be doing every day,

And I get the chance to do it,

And I...

Completely just ruined it for

Myself.

I mean, that's the best

I ever heard her sing.

so simone's attempt to make

The song her own didn't go well,

And it seems others are

Following in her footsteps.

when I look out



I will go



yeah, yeah



hey, yeah



I will thrive



I will go



I think that's the worst

They've ever sounded.

they're making the

Arrangements too difficult.

that was too silly, yeah.

I know, I know, I know



hey



I know, I know, I know



I know



that was terrible.

we told them to be today, to

Be modern.

They're doing exactly what we

Told them not to do.

they're trying to do

Something so different, and it's

Not working.

told me her name



was billie jean



from a movie scene



da duh deh



I am the one



who will dance



on the floor in the round



yeah



that version was awesome.

you think so?

loved it.

did you?

well, I loved the idea of it.

I don't want to hear it

Again.

run



run



run

: :: everything about it was not

Right.

my name is brennin.

I'm gonna do alicia keys' song

If I ain't got you, and I can

Guarantee you've never heard it

Like this.

intro to if I ain't got you

with a piano.

yeah.

uh, I've--I've got to

Intervene here.

Why won't you just sing with

That and the piano?

I wanted to give my own twist

And my style.

I'm trying to help the guy.

I-I wanted to think outside

Of the box.

I'm telling you now, if it

Carries on like this--I am

Hating this.

Why are they making these weirdo

Versions?

Rubbish.

Total, utter .

It's just not working.

we are gonna take a break.

Here comes x factor, and

It's $ million, and we have

Five members.

that's $ million,

$ million, $ million...

$ million, $ million.

we first met the stereo hogzz

When they auditioned in dallas.

and runnin'



runnin'



through my head



four yeses.

whoo!

thank you, jesus.

and as the judges retake

Their seats, it's time for the

Stereo hogzz to show them that

They're worth the $ million

Recording contract.

we have our battle uniforms

On, and we're ready for order.





hey!

Whoo!

Hey, well, if y'all doknow,

We a the stereo...

hogzz



and you look great.

appreciate it.

e're trying to be like you,

N.

Trying to be like you.

okay, guys, anything you

To tell me?

well, I'm going to dedicate

This performance to my newborn.

She's one month old today.

aw.

and, uh...

And, uh, hold on to your seats.





ah



ah



ah, ah, ah

: :: now, you say :

you're lonely



you've cried



the whole night through



whole night through







oh







so untrue



cry me a river



cry me a river



'cause I've cried a river



over you



you say you love me



but you lied



what group is this?

'cause I have never seen this

Group before.

they were much better.

they stepped it up.

yeah, but the problem with

Them is, they're inconsistent.

they're inconsistent, uh-huh.

l.A., they're inconsistent,

Though.

agreed, agreed, agreed.

so the stereo hogzz have done

All they can to impress, and as

The afternoon rolls on, all the

Guys are doing everything they

Can to guarantee themselves a

Place at judges' houses.

uh



still I wonder why it is



I don't argue with



nobody like this but you



we do this all e time



it's running througmy mind



Boot camp like the battle of

E stthat step before the

Big step.

I've been practicing every

Single day, every hoevery

Minute.

now I can finally tell



what it is



it's not a secret anymore



'cause we been through that



before



uh



summertime



and the living is easy



I've worked extremely hard,

You know, preparing for this

Moment, and I really don't

Want to go home yet.

we're gonna spread our wings



and you're gonna



take to the sky



intro to every breath you take

This is my second chance right

Here.

I just want to live.

I nt tbe a father to my son.

I am feeling a little nervous.

This means the world to me.

If--if I get through to the

Judges' houses, I will feel

Completely like, oh, my gosh.

I feel like that was his best

Audition.

I feel like that was his

Strongest audition.

why?

because he got to really be

Him in a song.

I think he was a bit cocky,

And he hadn't rehearsed the song

Well enough.

welcome back to the x factor

Boot camp, where the final

Challenge is under way.

The pressure is on, as only

Acts will make it through to the

Judges' houses.

One contestant really feeling

The pressure is stacy francis.

The judges first saw stacy in

Los angeles.

tt was one of the best

Auditions I have ever heard in

My life.

but during her first boot

Ca challenge, things did not

Go as well.

that was way over the top,

Babe.

I'm sorry.

ow stacy's fate all rests on

This performance.

boot camp is such a

Roller-coaster ride.

It's fear.

It's heartbreak.

It's very humbling.

In my heart, I'm holding on for

Dear life, because I rlly want

To make it to the next round.

I really want to get it right.

three, two, one...

Off you go.

hi, I'm stacy francis.

you've had--uh, your first

Audition--

yes.

uh, was--was--was

Groundbreaking.

thank you so much.

but now we're starting to get

To the real competition, right?

kay.

is there anything you can

Share with the people here so

That they know a little bit more

About you?

you know, the day that

I arrived at boot camp, the

First day, you guys don't know

This--my dad d*ed.

This first day of bo camp, my

Father passed aw, literally

When irred.

I got tohe hotel, and

I checked in, you know...

Fatr paed ay.

So I was, you know, dealing with

The--the agony of that...

And I was, like, feeling quite a

Bit of guiltor not being there

For my mom.

For the rest of my life, I have

To deal with missing my father's

Funeral--

For the rest of my life.

Am I doing the right thing,

You know?

And I had to talk to my mom, and

My mom, you know, she was like,

Look, my dad would want that,

You know?

"it's okay.

This is your dream."

So I've kept it to myself,

'cause I know my dad would want

Me to be here, and I know he's

With me tonight.

god bless you.

All right, so what are you gonna

Sing?

I'm singing summertime.

good luck to you.

thank you.





summertime



and the living is easy



fish are jumping



and the cotton is high



your daddy's rich



and your mama's



good-looking



so hush, little baby



don't you cry



there ain't nothing



can harm you



with mommy and daddy



standing



standing by



ooh



yeah, yeah



standing by



take a look at me now



'cause there's



just an empty space



and there's



nothing left here



to remind me



that's pain.

That's deep, deep, deep pain.

oh!

l.A., that's exactly what

That is.

that's pain.

That's--that's pain.

I felt like my father was

With me.

I felt like I have a new angel.

It feels like a dream.

It doesn't even feel real to me

Right now.

I'm like...

I'm telling you, there's nothing

Like that, nothing like that

Moment.

hey



yeah

welcome back to the x factor

And the final challenge at boot

Camp.

The competition is intense, with

All the performers desperate to

Be one of the the acts who

Goes to the judges' houses.

It's a big day.

And as performances continue,

The girls' category is beginning

To shine.

just in case this is the last

Performance, I want to hear from

You.

this won't be my last

Performance.

Okay, good luck.

My expectation is just to

Impress the heck out of these

Judges.

I want to pass boot camp so bad.

This would change my life.

hi, there.

hi.

Ever since I was little, I would

Always put on shows for my

Parents.

I just always dreamt of, you

Know, one day it not only being

My parents, but, you know,

Millions of people.

thank you.

hi, guys.

hey, how you doing?

I'm good.

How are you?

wonderful.

Doing well in this competition

Would mean everything to me, so

I'm hoping I'm gonna do awesome.

hello, l.A.

hello.

I'm really looking to have an

Absolutely phenomenal

Performance.

And really take it home

So that I don't go home.

I was concerned for a minute.

not me.

I was concerned for a second.

some people rise to the

Occasion.

Some people crumble.

Which did you just do?

I felt like I rose.

and next up, hoping his

Performance will take him

Through to the judges' homes...

I need you.

is -year-old leroy bell.

my name is leroy bell, and

I'm a singer/songwriter.

This is what I love to do.

I kind of lost interest, and

Then just a few years ago,

I realized that I'm just gonna

Grow old, and I'm gonna be

Bitter because I'm not following

The passion.

just tell them how much you

Want this and what it means to

You, 'cause this is the last

Time you get to tell them.

right.

I want to win this competition

As bad as anything I've ever

Wanted in my life.

I've got to bare my soul up

There.

That's all there is to it.

Don't doubt me, 'cause I'm

Coming out there to win this

Thing.

hi, leroy.

Tell us about yourself.

been doing this a long time--

years old.

This is my second chance to try

To...

whoo!

to try to make this happen.

Um...

by the way, you look amazing

For .

thank you.

I know.

thank you.

seriously.

best of luck to you.

thank you.

enjoy yourself.

intro to make you feel my love

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

when he's up there, you feel

His experience and everything.

I'm just thinking what it

Would be like to have that

Talent but be frustrated.

He's years old, right?

he's competing with

-year-olds.

this is not an audition.

He's competing, as you said,

With -year-olds.

this is his life.

This is his last chance.

as leroy concludes the final

Performances of boot camp...

thank you very much, indeed.

the judges leave, knowing

They have some tough decisions

To make tomorrow.

All the contestants can do is

Wait to find out if they've done

Enough to make it through to the

Judges' houses.

After the break, the final

Are revealed.

first through to the judges'

Homes is...

welcome back to the x factor

And the final day of boot camp.

acts remain, but only half

Will make it through to judges'

Houses.

Yesterday everyone gave it

Their all in their last

Performance, and today they find

Out if they've done enough.

I really don't want to go to

Elimination.

I was homeless on the street,

Nowhere to live, and so this is

The most important day of my

Life.

I'm just hopin' and prayin'

That I will get through.

you know who will get

Eliminated today?

Ordinary singers.

You better be a star now.

this is the day, funny

Enough, I've been dreading,

Because I've actually got

Attached to a number of

Contestants now who I don't

Think the others are as attached

To as I am, so I've actually

Got to go in there and fight for

These people now.

so this is it.

The judges will now decide which

acts are going through to the

Next round.

These will be split into

Categories, and eight acts in

Each category will progress to

The next round of judges'

Houses, where they will be

Mentored by onjudge.

At this point, the judges do not

Know which category they will

Mentor, so they will need to

Decide together which acts make

It through and which are being

Sent home.

guys?

let's start with the guys.

Why don't we start with who we

Want to lose, 'cause I think

That's easier.

no.

oh, here we go.

We haven't even started.

He has really let me down this

Time.

yes.

well, I tried my hardest, you

Know.

I want it all.

I really do.

I would say no to this guy.

I don't think he's a

Contender.

I want this bad.

Don't get it twisted, 'cause my

Eye's still on the prize, which

Is $ mil.

he was a different person

Yesterday.

He came out...

to me, he was gimmicky.

let me look a minute, 'cause

I don't--

okay.

somebody gotta go home.

I mean, we're--it's a

Competition.

In the end, only one person can

Win, you know.

okay, let's move on to the

Girls.

This is a girl I didn't think

I'd be saying no to.

I am now.

ooh.

I'm expecting to go to the

Judges' houses.

did you copy that?

yes, I did.

I copied it all right here.

I'm just gonna say it and

Claim it.

what about this girl?

I wasn't impressed with what

She did yesterday.

but she's more interesting

Than here.

we are so close to the final

.

yeah, it's really--it's

Nerve-racking.

let me look at the groups

For a second.

I think there's three or four

Groups here I really like.

we really have five groups.

The rest of these are--I'm

Telling you, they border on

Mediocre.

when you get to this moment,

It literally is just--

it's like fear, excitement,

Nervousness.

gotta go.

they have to go.

they're adorable.

they got to go.

but we have adorable.

too shrilly for my taste.

yep.

It's just too--too tough to

Listen to.

we just want to make it to a

Judge's house.

right.

let's do the oldest.

great.

fine, okay, this is the one

I'm gonna disagree with you

On.

no way.

yep.

oh, yes.

I-I'm not letting this one go.

Not--not letting this--no.

I don't want to say it's like

My last chance, but it's my

Definite--it's my biggest

Chance.

this girl, vocally, deserves

To be there.

she--she's good.

I completely agree.

I-I have no idea what my

Chances are.

okay, I'll tell you what.

wait, let me just finish what

I'm saying.

you just said no to this

Person, so how can you be such a

Hypocrite about that?

you all agreed with me on

This one.

okay, but doesn't she deserve

A chance like him?

he is a singer.

yes.

and she's not?

You don't think she's a singer?

no.

you love both of them?

no, he's a different kind of

Performer.

come on.

he's a different kind of

Performer.

come on.

Get him out of here.

okay, fine.

close it?

close it.

good.

let's close it.

it's the right decision.

you know what?

We all had to let some go that

We didn't want to, and we all--

yep. Wow, that was hard.

so, that's it.

With all the decisions now made,

All that's left to do is tell

All the contestants who's

Through to the judges' houses

And who's going home.

when I call your group name,

I need you to stay together as a

Group.

I need you to exit this door

Right here.

the contestants are split

Into their four categories--

Boys, girls, over s, and

Groups.

Each category will take to the

Stage, where only eight names

Per category will be called out.

Name, their dream ends today.

Apologize.

Don't feel down.

Genuinely.

oh, my god, he's--he's

Gonna--he's gonna do it.

this isn't enough for me.

It's exciting, and I'm glad,

But, uh, I gotta go to the end.

hi, baby.

Daddy did a good job

Singing, so he's gonna be on tv

Singing a little bit more.

Is that cool?

All right, good.

so that's it.

Or is it?

As the rejected acts start to

Leave, the judges request

People to return to the stage.

I need the following people.

Francesca duncan...

Nick dean...

John lindahl...

Nick dean, seven...

what are they doing?

come over here, guys.

Girls, you stay over there,

Please.

Come over here.

Are there more?

we often look for artists

That may have the potential to

Be solo performers, but we often

Cast them in groups.

so, in other words, you four,

If you were to come in as a

Group, I think you would have

Blown away the competition.

I think you, as a group, if

You'd have come in together,

It would have been an absolute

No-brainer.

But you didn't come in as

Groups.

But now you are in the groups

Category.

congratulations, guys.

Congratulations.

yeah!

whoo!

congratulations.

You've made it through to

Judges' homes.

so the judges have formed two

New groups, completing the

Lineup of the final acts

Made up of eight boys, eight

Girls, eight over--year-olds,

And eight groups who are all

Now heading to the next stage of

The competition--judges' homes.

And with boot camp finally over,

It's time to celebrate.

it's ringing.

the judges find out which

Category they'll be mentoring.

the category we want you to

Mentor is...

come on, come on.

just tell me who I've got,

Please.

welcome back to the x factor,

Where boot camp has come to an

End.

From the thousands that applied,

Just acts remain.

That leaves just eight acts in

Each of the four categories--

Boys, girls, over s, and

Groups.

In the next phase of the

Competition, each of the

Four judges will become a mentor

To one of the categories and

Work with the acts in that

Category for the rest of the

Season.

It's three days after

The end of boot camp, and the

Producers of the show now meet

To decide which judge will

Mentor which category for the

Rest of the competition, and the

Four judges are waiting for the

News.

L.A. Is back in new york...

Paula and nicole in

Los angeles...

And simon on vacation in the

South of France.

All the judges can do now is sit

And wait for the phone to ring.

I'm really nervous.

I just don't know...

What they're gonna give me.

the strongest category is the

Overs.

I'd be excited to work with

The boys.

I think the groups is gonna

Be the hardest.

I think whoever gets the groups

Is gonna have a hard time.

anyone who gets the groups--

It's a tremendous amount of

Work.

I would really love the

Girls.

I think it's not a question

Of who I'm happy with.

It's a question of making other

People happy, knowing they've

Got me.

chances are, I have a

Better--I have a better sh*t at

Winning, no matter which

Category that I--that I get.

It doesn't matter.

it's ringing.

hello, nicole.

yes?

the category we want you to

Mentor is...

The over s.

really?

The over s?

All right.

All right, I can do that.

I can do that.

It's not the girls.

You didn't say girls, did you?

hello, l.A.

hello.

the producers have met, and a

Decision has been made, and

The category we want you to

Mentor is...

The boys.

the boys.

I think I just won.

What did simon get?

That's all I want to know.

hello?

hello, paula.

yes.

the category we want you to

Mentor is...

come on, come on, come on.

the groups.

oh, my gosh.

The groups?

Wow.

how do you feel about that?

I'm--I'm excited and, um,

Feeling a little bit overwhelmed

Already.

hi, simon.

just tell me who I've got,

Please.

the girls.

thank you.

how do you feel about that?

you just made eight girls

Very, very happy.

I'm actually more happy for them

Than I am for me, 'cause

I know that they want me as

Their mentor.

so nicole's got the over s.

Paula's got the groups.

L.A.'s got the boys.

And simon's got the girls.

So the competition...

I wonder who got the groups?

starts now.

not me.

I still need to know which

Category simon got.

I just gotta know.

hello?

Hi, nicole.

I knew it.

You have groups, don't you?

paula's got the groups.

If you think about it, a group

Has got multiple personalities,

And they've got paula abdul as

Their mentor.

Work it out.

hello.

hello?

who have you got?

I have the overs.

hello?

which category did you get?

the girls.

I think you just met your

Match.

so, all the best to you.

Simon is amazing, right?

He's got one hell of a bag of

Tricks.

However, I have a bag of tricks

That's just a little deeper.

we're not a team anymore,

You know?

We now work with our

Contestants, and if they win,

You win.

If they lose, you lose.

Nobody wants to lose.

next week...

The x factor goes global...

When eight acts in each of the

Four categories visits their

Judges' homes...

hi. How are you?

as they fight for a place

In the live finals.

The competition has never been

Tougher...

I just don't want it to end

Right here.

as will become just .

I've made my decision.

oh, god.

I struggled with this.

I'm sorry.

it's bad news.

You didn't make it.
