BOTTOM TWO (AFTER LAKODA RAYNE GOT ELIMINATED):
LeRoy Bell
Marcus Canty
Marcus Canty
Marcus Canty sings first for survival. He does a rendition of Christina Aguilera’s You Lost Me.
LeRoy Bell sings Don’t Let Me Down by The Beatles.
ELIMINATED / VOTED OFF:
1. Lakoda Rayne
2. LeRoy Bell
VOTING:
-L.A. Reid said Marcus has been consistent all season and so he saved his own mentee, Marcus. He also urged the other judges to remember how good Marcus has been all season (probably since LeRoy killed Marcus in the ‘sing for survival’ round).
-Nicole saved her mentee LeRoy, but said there is no doubt in her mind that Marcus is a star.
-Paula told Marcus that he is one of her favorites but he didn’t deliver tonight (I agree). She chose to send home Marcus because LeRoy sang for his life better (he did – he was electrifying).
-Simon said he likes them both. In the competition, he said, Marcus is nodging ahead of LeRoy but also said that LeRoy sang better for survival. So, Simon chose to save Marcus to tie things up 2-2. Because of the tie with the judges’ votes, we had to resort to fan votes. The person with the lowest number of fan votes was LeRoy Bell so he was eliminated.

Poor paula is left with no one?
