After last week's dramatic decision -- this is another last-minute decision.
Lakoda rayne and stereo hogzz, this is the final showdown.
The act I am sending home is stereo hogzz.
Stereo hogzz.
Paula, who are you sending home?
I'm not going to do this.
Paula, I totally understand.
Paula is abstaining from voting.
If Paula doesn't vote, stereo hogzz go home.
Paula?
The act you're sending home, Simon.
The act I'm sending home is the stereo hogzz.
Tonight, it's rock night!
And the pressure is on.
Relax now.
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 30s, Josh krajcik, Leroy bell,
and Stacy Francis.
And Paula Abdul and the last of the groups, lakoda rayne.
I have one group left and I am confident that lakoda rayne is here to stay.
It's time.
There's no better category to do rock week and own it than my category.
To save -- it's rock week.
It's going to either be a -- or a train wreck.
-- The music.
It's going to be some week, guys.
Live from Los Angeles -- it's the x factor-rock night.
Please women come your host, Steve Jones!
Â?I love rock 'n' roll ♪
03: 00:03:50,112 that was very pleasant.
Welcome to the x factor.
It's rock week.
All the acts are performing rock songs or songs in a rock style.
Tonight, from the thousands of acts who auditioned, we are down
to the final 10.
But if they thought making it this far was hard, life is about
to get a whole lot tougher.
It's also about to get tougher for their mentors.
Please welcome the x factor judges.
That judges' desk is about to become a battleground.
Nobody wants to lose an act.
Of course, Paula has already lost two.
So there's plenty of pressure on her tonight.
So, 10 acts will perform for your votes.
Only nine will make it through to next week's show.
If they're ready, here we go, we start with the over 30s.
Nicole scherzinger.
Nicole, when you're ready lapping up the applause there,
let's start with the over 30s.
It's over to Nicole scherzinger.
All right, America.
Singing a song originally sung by Bob seger, representing
Seattle, Washington, it's Leroy bell.
Leroy bell.
I was just so happy with Leroy last week.
Last week felt more comfortable.
He's opening up, letting go of his nerves, and he's enjoying it more.
The cool thing about our relationship is she talks in
terms I can understand, which isn't too high-brow.
He's just a really chilled cool dude.
He just rlly loves music.
I love that.
I always wanted to be a rock star ever since I was a kid.
When my son was born, I had to put that dream on hold.
I've worked at shipyards.
Tell me about your tattoo.
Three or four years ago when I decided to do it, it was a
statement of doing music full time.
I can't wear short sleeves and have a regular job.
Going for it and not turning back.
All because of the tattoo.
You're all the way already.
This week I gave Leroy one of my favorite songs.
It's a classic.
Everybody who's ever been in love has felt every word that you're singing.
Do you know who the majority of your fan base is?
Women.
It's cool to be a heartthrob.
I never thought of myself that way.
Tom Jones and people who throw their underwear on stages?
I don't think so.
Leroy is boring.
Not everybody needs the shezam.
Again, b-o-r-I-n-g.
His voice alone is what carries it.
You know, I love what I do.
I just want to do it better and better each time.
I've got to bring it better than I did last time.
Leroy bell.

thank you.
Leroy bell.
Leroy, so we're no longer simply trying to get through to the next round.
We're now looking for stardom.
We're looking for the ability to sell records, sell tickets, own
the stage, and listen, you look great, you sound great, but
you're still not working it like a rock star.
You're not working it.
You're good, man, but I need more.
Okay.
$5 million.
This is the big-time.
There is no mistaking, darling, that you have a
beautiful voice and you deliver.
I think what L.A.'s saying and what I hear most people talking
about is that it's live television and there needs to be
more of a connection so that the people who are watching
television feel exactly what you're feeling.
And I saw that you got away from the mic sandwich tonight and
you're beginning to engage with the audience.
Keep it up.
Thank you.
Hi, Leroy.
Nice song.
Good voice.
In terms of -- in terms of originality, in terms of what
you've done with the song, hearing a new version, zero.
This is my problem, and I'm going to direct this to you, Leroy.
$5 million, appearing in a Pepsi super bowl commercial will change your life.
Right now you're being mentored like a session singer.
And basically, we have heard the same kind of songs now four weeks in a row.
It's like you're in a cage.
Rough week.
You should have been a shark.
You acted like a dolphin.
I disagree.
And I say this to you not to be mean, because I want you to
have a shot at winning.
Right now you can't win this competition.
Agreed.
Nicole?
Leroy, I believe in you, and I think tonight was the best
that you've ever sounded in this competition.
No!
Thank you.
Nicole, let me ask you a question.
Nicole, Nicole, do you think he can win based on that?
Of course I'm going to hold that possibility he can win.
As a possibility, that's not good enough.
That's a possibility, yes.
You have to say yes, he can win.
He's not going to win based on what you've done.
I want to say thank you, once again, Leroy, for being the
oldest contestant in this competition and being so
courageous at 60 years old to go after your dreams.
Thank you, Nicole.
He's not older than Mick Jagger.
Quickly, Leroy, what do you think about those horrible comments?
They're not horrible.
I don't think it's unfair.
He's calling you boring.
He's saying you can't win.
It's not horrible.
Constructive.
Can Leroy speak for a second?
No.
They're not horrible.
I didn't take it as they were saying I was horrible.
I think I know what they're talking about.
But I think -- I think I've got what it takes to win this.
And if that means doing a couple of extra things to do it, that's what I'll do.
Good news is, it's up to America.

Leroy bell, everyone.
Coming up -- the 13-year-old from mead, Colorado.
Last week she reminded Simon of a mini beyon what will she make of rock week?
Welcome back to the x factor.
It's rock week.
Up next, the first of the girls.
Here's their mentor, Simon cowell.
Okay.
One of the greatest rock bands in the world, the rolling stones.
One of my favorite singers from hometown in mead, Colorado.
This is live.
Rachel crow.
I do enjoy working with Rachel a lot.
I think we've connected because any time I used to talk to her,
she just used to giggle.
Now she has an opinion.
She's taking it very seriously.
That's a massive, massive change.
Love you.
Why can't everyone be like you.
My relationship with my mentor right now is really good.
Knowing that he really understands and gets where I'm
coming from, I think it will give me more confidence to do my best.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Since it's rock week, I've chosen one of the great rock songs.
I mean, that's what we're supposed to do.
I like that.
I like the little inflection you put at the end as well.
You made it a little bit quirky.
Loosen up.
You've listened to the lyric.
You know?
Yes.
I thought the important thing was to find a rock song that had
a blues influence, so this song works perfectly for her.
But I want you to feel this song.
He told you to look right and left.
I want you to imagine it was your first concert.
The guy who sang this song originally is a great performer.
I said to her forget what everyone's telling you.
Just perform the song and let loose.
I have faith in Rachel this week, but I think probably
what's going to be the biggest challenge for her is her age is
going to be holding her back from really connecting and really going there.
She's going to nail it, I've got a feeling.
Rachel crow!

All right, Rachel.
So listen, last week you made your official return back to the competition.
Now the question is, can you sell records?
The question is, can you sell tickets?
I can.
No.
Let me answer.
And the answer is yes.
Thank you.
I'm really proud.
Great song.
It wasn't some karaoke rendition.
You really gave it.
You brought energy to the room.
I'm really proud of you.
Thank you so much.
So rock and roll originated from rhythm and blues music, so
that was the absolute perfect song choice.
For me, this is my favorite performance of yours out of all
of the performances.
Thank you so much!
And the reason is, is that rock music, rock and roll, it's
just supposed to be effortless and fun and letting go, and you
made it look so easy up there, Rachel thank you so much.
Thank you.
Rachel, you are one of my favorites.
There's no doubt about it.
Thank you.
I love -- thank you so much.
I love how you are starting to connect not only with the
camera, because you have that down, but you're connecting now
wi the audience and reaching out to the audience.
And that's what I really love about you.
Thank you.
My personal opinion is when I see you up there, it doesn't
matter if you have a hundred dancers.
I only see you.
Thank you so much.
Um, you know, Rachel, you said to me this week, and I
liked this, is "I want to win this competition."
I did.
And I actually can see you winning the show.
I can see you in the super bowl commercial.
And you know why?
There's nothing wrong with admitting that you want to win.
Too many people in this competition right now think I've
got a bit of TV exposure.
I'm going to get a record deal.
That, to me, means you're a loser.
I like winners.
And now you've got over the fact that everyone likes you.
Most importantly now, people are going to start to respect you as a singer.
Thank you, Simon.
Thank you so much.
Wonderful, wonderful comments.

Coming up next -- it's Chris rene.
Can the trash hauler from Santa Cruz, California, adapt his hip
hop rap style to rock?
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to the x factor.
Next up, it's the first of the boys mentored by Mr. L.A. reid.
All right.
Performing a song by rock and roll hall of fame Bob Marley, this is Chris rene.
Chris rene.
Last week being on that stage felt like the best thing ever.
What I love about Chris, it's been a challenge finding out what gives him tick.
In Chris rene's case, it's giving him moral support and
making him continue to believe in himself.
This competition is really important to me.
Staying well is just as important.
I'm staying with you.
What I've been doing to stay sober is going to meetings,
talking to my support group, my family, my sponsor, reading my
book, and writing.
I just want Chris to be strong.
It's definitely not easy, and nobody gets to see how hard it
is, but I'm working on it.
What really matters to me is that this guy can walk out of
this thing and be a better guy and not go back.
This week Chris rene is doing a song he grew up on and an artist he grew up on.
It's something that's really dear to him.
This song reminds me of my childhood when me and my mom
would go out to lunch and she'd pop the tape in and we'd listen
to it, dance in the car.
Hey, mom, I love you.
My mom comes to the show every week.
You were great.
Thank you.
Her being there means the world to me, straight up.
My mom bought me my first guitar when I was 12.
I've been doing music ever since.
Started play punk rock when I was 12 years old.
Gotta give me a rock star performance, a rock star performance.
Not many people get this opportunity.
You take the opportunity, you turn your life around.
Now he's got to be brilliant.
I think he's going to nail it this week.
Watch what happens.
Chris rene!
Â?We got people passin' on, we got people getting stronger
woman let me hold you like I'm supposed to I can sleep when I die
now we're gonna rise for a cause called life when I look to the sea what do I
see a world full of people like you like me everything's gonna be all right
are everything's gonna be all right yes, everything's gonna be all right
no woman no cry uh, uh, yeah no woman no cry first, second
yeah, I remember when we used to sit uh, in the government yard in cali
oh, observing, oh.
The hypocrites the people we'd meet good friends we have
good friends we lost along the way yeah in this bright future
you can forget your past so dry your tears, I say come on oh, ah, oh, ah
I know you know it sing it with me now everything's gonna be all right
no woman no cry uh, uh no woman no cry uh, uh no woman no cry
hey, Chris.
I love that song.
That was very original.
I thought that was very original.
I heard you.
And I rocked with it.
But I don't -- it's not what I'm -- it's not my favorite performance by you.
I don't know.
It was like I loved it, but was a little confused.
It was better than that.
I just have to go off my gut.
You were great.
I was confused by the music, the track, the hybrid.
I like that you take a chance.
Thank you, Nicole.
Let's go to Paula.
I think you got by because Bob Marley is inducted into the
rock and roll hall of fame and rolling stone said it's one of
the best rock songs.
I know why you chose this for Chris.
Chris, what I love about you, it doesn't matter if you are the best vocalist.
I buy into you.
You're original.
I love that.
Thank you.
I love that about you.
Thank you, Paula.
Chris, you know, I -- I loved the performance.
And it would have been great if the theme this week had been reggae music.
I don't care whether this guy has been inducted into the rock
and roll hall of fame.
That is reggae music.
The theme, L.A., is rock music.
Where does it play?
On what radio stations does it play?
Rock stations.
I think we just flipped it.
Listen, Bob Marley was a rock star.
What's the purpose of having a theme and not do it?
Let's have hip hop week and see what drew does.
L.A., do you want to comment quickly?
I was really happy.
I was worried about you staying on key.
You did stay on key.
I completely -- and I loved that.
I completely understand what you did.
Bob Marley was a rock star.
Rolling stone magazine had him on the cover a lot more than any urban cupcake.
I think you did a great job.
Let's give America the chance to let us know what they think.
To vote for Chris, call 1-855-the-xf-03.

Renegade.
After the break, from Los Angeles, California, it's Stacy Francis.
Last week, the judges questioned her song choice.
Has she made the right choice tonight?
We'll be back in a bit.
Welcome back to the x factor.
This last week you've been very busy talking about the show on Twitter.
A lot of you have been rooting for your favorite judge.
Last week L.A. reid was out in front.
Well done, sir.
Use the hashtags below and tell us who deserves to be at the top this week.
Okay.
Next to sing tonight, the second of the over 30s.
Nicole scherzinger.
Singing a song originally performed by meatloaf is miss Stacy Francis.
Â?Ain't no Mountain high enough ♪
42: 00:42:29,855 oh, my God!
It's so important to me.
Just like Nicole to me is more than a mentor.
She's a really good friend.
You know what I mean?
I think we have a really deep, loving relationship.
She knows what I'm going through and what I'm going through.
I have the same background you have.
I adore her as a person.
We work really well together.
She's very smart.
I would like to vote for Stacy Francis.
She's a fighter and I'm very proud of her.
Last week I just had this awful image of Nicole and her
playing Whitney Houston and Nicole lending her one of her dresses.
I was really proud of her last week.
Stacy took a risk.
This week is rock week.
She's not a stereotypical rock performer, but she's a very
soulful performer, and to me those feed off one another.
When I think of rock, I think of throwing it out there.
I think of big.
She's doing a meatloaf song.
She has to connect emotionally.
You have a place of pain to draw from nobody else has.
It's hard to go to that place.
I had this dark relationship.
It's not a proud moment.
This week with the song choice, I'm going there.
Last week I thought she was mediocre.
This week I hope she does something smarter.
I hope she doesn't pander and try to do a song I wrote again.
Stacy is a superstar diva.
Make it yours.
Tonight I'm going to sing from a very real, authentic place.
I think it's very important.
Stacy Francis!

all right, Stacy.
I know you think I'm about to be mean to you.
I'm not going to be mean.
You really sang that song really well.
I'm really happy for you.
I'm going to leave it at that.
Stacy, um, I'm going to be really honest.
This was my least favorite song you've ever performed.
Nicole, did you -- did you pick that song?
This is a song that Stacy wanted to sing this week because
she challenged herself and she sang something different last
week and -- the song was very close to her heart.
Your pitch was under.
I just didn't feel it.
You look lovely, though.
Stacy, let me start with the good news.
Your hair looks better this week.
Now the not so good news.
I thought the song was a horrible choice.
As soon as I saw the studded microphone, I knew what was coming.
It was -- I wanted a rock.
That was a pebble.
It was soft.
It's the sort of thing I would expect someone to sing at the
Hilton hotel with people turning their backs eating peanuts.
You are going backwards right now.
You've got to sort yourself out.
This is not a cabaret competition.
This is to find a recording artist.
Thank you, Simon.
We've got to move on, Simon.
We have to move on.
And the wind machine nearly knocked you over at the end.
There's a genre of music called glam rock, and, honey,
you are glam rock diva tonight.
I hear what they're saying.
I understand.
I don't know if it was the best song for rock week.
But through all this adversity, you continue to rise.
Your stars continue to rise.
And you know what?
You are so soulful.
You said you wanted to be r and authentic in this performance.
And that's rock enough.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I wanted to get back to my fans.
They said they wanted me to do something that's important to
me, and that was important to me to help them and give them what
they wanted, so hopefully I did that.
Thank you, Stacy.

Okay, let's go back to the girls.
Here's Simon cowell.
Okay.
It's rock week.
Sung by -- the original artist is rlm, a rock band.
Melanie amaro doing a rock version.
Here she comes.
Last week Melanie was amazing.
That was your best.
My mentor, Simon, is very good.
He believes in me so much.
I like working with her because she's got a beautiful voice.
I have a connection with Melanie.
I've been inside her home.
I know how much they want her to succeed.
I was born in Florida.
At 3 or 4, I was taken to the virgin islands to live with my grandparents.
I came over here to Florida for high school, try to start a new
life with my mom and dad.
I want to be able to win this competition.
That way I'll be able to support them and help them with
everything they need help with back at home.
Since it's rock week, I've chosen one of my favorite songs of all time.
It is a rock song.
They are a rock band, but it's not an up-tempo song.
Again, here we go from the top.
Rock is not something that I grew up listening to, so this is
really like you just took me out of this place I was okay and,
here, work with that.
Play to the judges, play to the camera.
I've stripped away everything.
No dances.
No tricks.
Her and a piano.
It's just about her voice.
She's very soulful.
She's an unbelievable singer.
I don't know if I've necessarily seen her let go.
Melanie edgy?
Forget about it.
Seriously.
How do you say Melanie and edgy in the same sentence?
Everyone knows she's a great singer.
Now she's got to become an artist, and this song could do it for her.
Melanie amaro!

okay, okay, I get it.
You're right, you're right, Simon.
I was confused.
That was rock, right?
That was rock.
Yeah.
Melanie, I love you.
You know you're my girl, right?
That was so not rock.
Well, okay.
You sounded beautiful, of course.
Thank you.
What I'm confused about right now is that this is one of my
favorite songs and every time I hear it I cry, and I don't know
why I didn't cry in this performance right now.
I -- I'm always connected with you.
I would have loved if it were a little bit more raw, and I would
have loved to have connected even that much more, but you sounded beautiful.
Thank you.
Melanie, you took us to church.
Thank you.
Rock and roll church, right?
A rock and roll church.
Yes, indeed.
Melanie, here's the deal.
You have an unparalleled voice.
It's gorgeous.
Thank you.
I want to see you let go and let loose now.
That's all I ask in your upcoming performances.
Let go.
Thank you, thank you.
Okay.
Melanie, you know, that reminded me of Adele, um, Alicia keys.
Um, Adele and Alicia are rock now?
What?
Alicia and Adele are rock now?
That was a rock song.
I tell you what, call rem and tell them they're not a rock band.
Melanie, I'm very, very proud of you.
Trust me, the audience, as you can hear, are really going to
support you on that.
You did great.
Thank you.
Well, Melanie, they're brutal this evening, aren't they?
Yes, they are.

Let's go back to the over 30s.
Nicole scherzinger.
Singing a song from one of the most important rock bands
today, from the foo fighters, America, you ain't ready for
this, this is Mr. Josh krajcik.
Josh krajik!
J is supercool.
He feels like, I don't know, like one of the pros.
She has great ideas.
Just think of this.
You know wt I mean?
Go big.
Absolutely.
She really gets me, and so she's in my corner.
I relate to you to just being a real natural roc star.
Let's make it real.
This is who you are.
The dream of being a rock star started around when I was 12.
I dreamed of it every night.
Following the dream of being a musician has been hard.
You may not make any money as a musician for months.
I had a factory job running a machine all day.
I took the job at a restaurant because I had to.
It felt defeating.
I played rock and roll in all kinds of venues, rooms that have
three people in them.
A nightmare gig.
You feel what the hell am I doing.
I've turned 30.
I've been trying this for 15 years.
I knew what I was capable of.
I knew if I had thathance that people would believe in me.
This is rock week.
This is Josh's cup of tea, right down his alley.
If Nicole is choosin song, it's loaf.
If Josh is choosing the song, it's going to be something good.
I'moing to ve to fight ck.
The expectations for me are pretty high so the pressure is on.
I'm going to ge it everything I've got.
Josh krajcik!

all right, Josh.
You have the authenticity.
You have the stage presence.
You picked the right song.
And you're the only person that's really rocked this house tonight.
I love that.
Thank you.
Josh, everything about tonight h worked unbelievably for you.
Not only is this my favorite performance you've done, but by
far the best performance of the evening.
Amazing, amazing.
You're so good.
Thank you.
Josh, never, ever listen to a single person again on this
show, because that was -- I used it last week, I've got to say it
again -- bloody fantastic.
Thank you, Simon.
Way to go, Nicole.
Thank you, Nicole.
Oh, babe, you took me back like I was in a rock band way back.
Got to tour with foo fighters.
Back to Josh.
I was in a band called -- you're the ultimate rock star.
Look, that's how it's done, America.
You rock.

After the break, it's the high school rapper from Brooklyn, New York.
It's astro.
Welcome back to rock week on the x factor.
Next, it's one of the boys.
L.A. reid.
Yessir.
This is the most popular contestant on x factor, our man astro.
Man, man, I could not be more proud of you.
Thank you, sir.
Last week being on stage was amazing.
I was nervous.
It was an eminem song.
I didn't want to mess it up.
I got a good response from the crowd.
My mom is working ba in New York.
Haven't seen her in my mouth.
-- I haven't seen her in a month.
My step pop is also a great role model.
T's me.
She just makes her food perfect.
When she makes it, it's perfect.
I love you, mom.
I love you, too.
Rock and roll represents freedom and irreverence and all the things you do.
Astro is going to take a very familiar song that becames big
as a hip hopit as it was rock hit.
I fell in love with hip hop when I was 10 years old.
Music is just an escape for me, freedom.
It allows me to express feelings I can't express when talking to people.
My song is about hip hop.
It's a love song.
I love this song.
I wouldn't necessarily be astro and rock together.
It would be cool to see astro challenge himself and do
something a little rockier.
He doesn't have bad weeks and good weeks.
He's been pretty good the whole way through.
He has to come through one week.
Maybe this is the week.
Astro.
This is dedicated to her the one and only girl that's known all over the world
e's 40 years old but I still try and speak to her we talk all the time and my
heart beats through her she messed with the wrong dudes and now she messed up
started doing drugs and showing the kids that stuff
she rocking jewelry and getting ballistic with pistols, whips,
the materialistic things she changes slly but still I'd ther be
with her than chill with my homies put on my headphones and zone out
listen to my favorite rapper and she the one I think about
she left the hood and went to the bright lights and now her voice just don't
sound right I see that she's having a few issues the truth is I miss you
every step I take every little step I take every move I make ery single day
every time I pray I'll be missing you remember rapping Duke the hard the hard
I never thought that one girl could bring me this far
every time I look at her doing her thing I remember how we met
through the sugar hill gang she the one and only that I could depend on
it may sound a li'l weird coming from a kid cuz she was here before I was born
but we fell in love as soon as I found out what love is I wanna get her back
to the old her and stop letting the dancers control her I wanna take it back
to the old days when we connected by letting the records play
but now it's the opposite of that bunch of dudes in her ear just talking crap
but good news for anybody missing her like I do ya boy's bringing hip hop back
every step I take every move I make every single day every me I pray
I'll be missinyou thinng of the y if youove hip hop the way I
do, lete see you raise your hands.
Yeah, yeah.
What a life to take what a bond to bre I'll be missing you
what I want you to know hip hop I miss you
thank you.
So I think that was a very smart song choice.
Thank you.
Classic rock song, hip hop.
The question is, I don't know if -- there's a question?
The question -- on astro there's a question?
There's a question on astro if you're ready at this age
for a $5 million recording contract.
Thankou.
And I definitely believe you are.
Thank you.
Thank you, Nicole.
Oh, astro, astro, astro.
Can you just suck for once?
I don't think you can.
Thank you.
You are phenomenal.
You are amazing.
You are ready right now in the studio selling millions of albums.
Thank you.
Astro, this is two weeks in a row now.
You took on eminem last week.
You just took on puff daddy.
What's amazing is you've got more maturity and intelligence
than some of the older contestants in this show.
Thank you.
Because you know who you want to be.
You don't compromise, and I'm with Nicole.
I think you've got a shot at winning this, young man.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
I couldn't agree, more.
Again, you knocked it out of the park, and I do believe you have
everying it takes to win this compition.
But more importantly, you have everything it takes to be a
major international star.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank y for all those universally positive comments.
Are you happy?
Yeah, it's a good night.
Stereo hogzz in the building.
A lot of girls in the bg.
Also, I want to y it's a special day for me and my sister.
Happy Birthday to my little sister, Reagan.
A showman to the last.
What a nice man.

Up next, the last remaining group, lakoda rayne survived a
final showdown last week, but the pressure is on for them
again and Paula Abdul when we come back.
Welcome back to the x factor-rock week.
Quick heads up.
Next week is on Thanksgiving.
We'll be on air one day earlier.
We start on Tuesday night at 00 central.
Please don't forget.
Last week Paula Abdul lost the second of her groups.
Now she only has one left.
And they're up next.
Paula?
Yes.
Originally sung by fleetwood Mac, here are my girls, lakoda rayne.
Lakoda rayne and the stereo hogzz will sing for survival.
The act I'm sending home is the stereo hogzz.
So close to having your dreams come true, something
you've prayed for your entire life.
To know it can all just disappear.
I love you.
I'm so proud of you.
It's devastating, because when you go home, it's not like this anymore.
It will never -- it will never be like this.
Back home in Texas, I'm home-schooled, so I -- I don't know.
I'm kind of alone a lot of the time, but once I was put in this
group, I not only have three best friends, but I have three sisters now.
I run a day-care center.
I miss my kids, but I -- I love it here.
Nothing better than going to sleep and you're in your dream
and then you wake up and you're still in your dream.
Was born and raised in capetown, South Africa.
My family moved all the way to California to give me this
opportunity to be able to sing and there's been so many doors
shut, and I've never been this close in my life.
When I was little, I would stand there for hours in the mirror
singing, but I want to be able to live my own dream and not
pretend to be somebody else.
They're humble girls.
They have amazing talent.
They've dreamt this their whole life.
If the girls go, Paula's out.
That's the end of Paula.
So no pressure.
I have one group left, and I am confident that lakoda rayne is here to stay.
Five, six, seven, eight.
It's been two weeks in a row that a group has gone home.
Just smile your face off.
Our dream's on the line.
You guys feel good?
We're going to make Paula proud.
Lakoda rayne!

you know what I'm happy about is this is the first time I've
ever seen you have fun.
First time.
All right.
Now, does it measure up -- does it measure up to your competitors?
Do you have what it takes to be superstars?
I think we do.
We definitely do.
Listen, it was better.
To me it was better.
Was it amazing?
Was it great?
I'm just not sure.
I don't know.
Girls, I think you found your lane.
Country rock.
I've been missing some of the edge, some of the rawness, and,
you know, the fun from it.
So tonight you did your thing.
I want to see you let go even more.
I know you have it.
Vocally in your performance, you're holding back a little bit.
So let go even more.
We're up to the challenge.
Girls, I've always thought you've got potential.
I thought tonight overall was a complete mess, if you want my honest opinion.
You know, I really hope America sticks with you, because I think
it was a great performance waiting to happen, but I have to
tell you at the point you jumped off those boxes and the
ridiculous dances, did that stupid choreography which was
unnecessary, it made it gimmicky.
Simon, you're being mean.
You're being mean.
It wasn't that bad.
Watch your back, watch your back.
Boys, really, no disrespect, but these girls have earned
their place right here on this stage.
I am most proud of them because they came together as a group.
They stood their ground and they chose this song and they did a great job.
And there's a void in the marketplace where once the Dixie
chicks owned it, and I really feel -- and you had them sing that song?
I really feel these girls can own that space, too.
I've missed the Dixie chicks.
I hope America loves them as much as I do.
Thanks, Paula.
Let's hear from the girls.
Girls, what do you make of those comments?
We chose our own song tonight.
We came out here feeling really confident about it.
We gave a good performance.
It is rock week.
You girls are having a tough ride on the x factor.
How's morale in general.
You girls okay?
We're keeping our energy up.
We love being here.
Confidence is key.
Keep it up.

Coming up, the school girl from chino valley, Arizona.
Last week L.A. reid said all her performances were the same.
Can we change his mind?
Next up it's drew when we come back.
Welcome back to rock week on the x factor.
Okay.
Let's take a look at which judge is ahead on Twitter, shall we?
It would seem Simon cowell is back on top.
Simon, it also seems that the meaner you are, the more popular you are.
Well, I actually did join Twitter tonight officially.
I'm just slightly surprised why it's only 53%.
I think you should be happy with that considering last week.
Thank you all indeed.
The night is still young.
Ay.
Here's the final singer.
Back to Simon cowell.
Simon?
God, I hope we don't mention that again, I'm the most popular judge.
53%.
Quite a lot.
Okay.
My last contestant, 14 years old, singing a U2 song.
Is it a rock song, though?
It's drew.
Sounded the same to me.
I need to see you do something different.
You were mean to me tonight.
I wasn't mean to you.
L.A. is a competitive person and he's trying to get inside
drew's head, but she's got me as a mentor.
You did great.
That was a little bit shocking to me just because I've
never, ever had that experience before.
Back in my hometown, it was all good feedback.
And then I came to x factor and it was good feedback all the way
until last week.
It's a 7-day work week.
I have choreography.
I have wardrobe.
I have hair.
I have makeup.
I have vocals.
And on top of all that, I have to go to school.
We did your paper.
We are held accountable not only to do well in the
competition, but to do well at school.
Nobody gets a free pass just because they're in the competition.
They go to school for three hours a day.
It's a lot of work, but I'm willing to do all of that to win this competition.
We take a little bit off the top.
Yeah.
This is amazing this week.
I'm more confident than ever.
Drew, the one that does the same thing over and over and over.
You know what I heard she's doing this week?
Same thing over and over.
Loved that.
I think you're going to see a very, very different drew this week.
Now if I get criticism again, I'm going to be a little more prepared for it.
Drew!

all right, drew.
You already know it.
I'm going to tell you again, you have maybe the most original
voice of every contestant we have.
Thank you.
You're really special.
I'm still in that place that I was last week, right?
Wait a minute.
I loved you last week.
So I don't know why they're booing me, because I really
loved you then and I love you now.
I'm still phing for more because the competition is stiff.
But you have what it takes to go the distance.
Yeah, I'm trying to keep my base on the genre that I want to be.
Listen, just do you, honey.
You can do it.
Thank you.
So, drew, you know how much I adore you.
Yeah.
I love that song.
But I was waiting as well and waiting for the tempo to pick up
and waiting for more.
I understand if we were doing like acoustic or so rock.
It's got electric guitars.
It's got more energy.
I've seen you do th I knew you could make this beauful.
This is the slowest rock song.
I don't -- I just -- I'm a little frustrated, actually.
I'm a little frustrated.
Sorry.
Here's the good thing, drew.
Yo'ren a good place becse you have a big fan base.
And when you have a big fan base, take advantage of these genres.
The reason why we're having genres is so you can lead to
diversity and diversity leads to long, long success.
So take advantage of it and maybe an up-tempo would be good to hear from you.
You have a beautiful voice.
Okay.
Drew, what I would say is take no notice of the three
witches on my right-hand side, particularly cruella I the
middle who thought doing a meatloaf song up-tempo is original.
This is all about being unique, appealing to your fan base and
doing something no one's heard before.
That's why I believe you'll be in this competition 'til the end.
I love you, Simon.
Thank you for all my fans and thank you for supporting me.
Thank you, drew.

Okay.
Last week, L.A. and Paula told Maryland's Marcus canty he was a star.
Nicole said he was a superstar.
Just Simon cowell to convince.
Marcus after the break.
Welcome back to rock week on the x factor.
In just a few minutes we'll open the voting lines.
Then you can vote for your favorites.
Before that, here's the final singer from the boys, L.A. reid.
Yes, sir.
This week doing a song written and performed by the rock star
Janis joplin, here's the rock version of Marcus canty.
Marcus.
Marcus is a joy to work with.
He's what we call a pk, a preacher's kid.
The church is a huge part of my life.
I started singing with my mom at the church choir about 11 years old.
I used to jam every Sunday.
Dance and do it up.
Hello, Marcus.
One of the things I used to do at church each sunda is look out for the kids.
You all gonna make me cry.
I'm kind of like the role model.
My aunt is the pastor of the church.
I'm so proud of you.
I'm just so glad you're living out your dream.
The pastor, my aunt, is such an inspiration to me.
I'm going to make y'all proud this week, okay?
The theme this week is rock and roll, baby.
I want sexy, dirty, I want him to be bad.
I want him to get himself in a lot of trouble.
The choreography with Brian, he wanted me to embrace the inner rocker.
It was difficult.
I'm conservative.
This is my mom and my aunt.
It's important for me to maintain my moral values.
Where's the bad boy Marcus?
I will make sure you don't do anything beneath you or that cheapens you.
I have a really tough week.
He and rock music don't go together.
It's about being an artist.
I want to make sure Marcus is there at the same time.
I want to show you I can be a good boy and a rocker.
Marcus canty!
