[FATASY2008]

Marcus you are the "TRUTH" !!

[weirx056]

how can anyone say that he is arrogant....he is the most down to earn contestant on the show!!!! If you want to see an arrogant contestant, look at chris rene!!!! #TeamMarcusCanty

[rodrigogarbarino]

So arrogant, always overacting... Dances like a monkey... Always a "HUH!" after every phrase... so repetitive, always a pose... never relaxed or natural... Sometimes I just don't understand these contests. Where the hell is Stacey Francis????!!!!!! She deserved so much more to be on that stage... Not this arrogant-overacted child.

[bfont007]

@rodrigogarbarino Stacey Francis?!? hahaha u must be joking

[TheScArFaCe786]

[monkey9945]

Marcus my friend you are to damn good!!!!!!!!

[jewsandgentiles]

Brilliant, Gifted, Amazing, Confident, Natural, Humble, Loveable, Handsome, Swag, Respectful, and God-fearing! This young man is rare, which is why he is worth every $ of the 5M prize. Marcus is already at home being a star, so just go on and make it official....Give 2 him what he has truly earned; he is the 5M dollar man.

[Danessaree]

he is so sexxy!!!!

[KiNGMarls]

I love Marcus Canty but feel that he should be doing songs that are current.......He does remind me of a young Al Green though hmmm.......

[1910blackbeauty]

[nowaela]

the production of the British and American versions of this show make the Australian one look like a backyard party

[jennifercoleful]

[MegaFlorian14]

when he sings at 2:15 I got goosebumps it sounded so good!!!!

[ciaabass]

[3912James]

I loved how he closed the song. Powerful.

[wazes2011]

Paula sounds like someone from Sesame Street

[beautycutelove]

i really want him to go on and become a famous recording artist cuz i wud def buy his music. him and stereo hogzz!

[MegaFlorian14]

[beautycutelove]

@MegaFlorian14 Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Culture Club

[youaremyredeemer2011]

neither his name is Marcus Canty hes on X-Factor.

[zopese]

Is that boy Chris Brown or Jason Derulo ?!

[84kodomo]

definitivamente el mejor cantante que he podido oir en my vida...su voz es unica ..y realmente compraria un cd de el...vale la pena

[19VANIKA]

He makes singing looks easy

[lisa196409]

@19VANIKA Marcus did well tonight. He did well on this night too but tonight 12/14/11 he sang boys 2 men Ill make love to you. Not to get ahead I think this boy george tune was the best ever. Marcus is good LA listened to us because Marcus really sang tonight he looked like a nice young man thats what he is

[hakati]

i'm so happy he's not going down the route of rap

[gottas33]

Paula: "you make me all nervous" lmao all that hot energy in his gazes both Rihanna and Paula felt it, it like melts you and makes you swoon

[boyeks]

MARCUS CANTY looks like Dwyane Wade on side view . lol

[Sarahmissmiss]

Babe!

[blacktop1416]

Those moves are sexy! I can't get enough from this guy.

[DavidBlaine18]

He's got a little kick of Stevie Wonder in him.

[methodman6156]

Michael Irving and Reggie Bush had a son...Marcus Canty!

[zrg3]

can someone please tell me the song that he's singing?

thanks! :)

[paolamartinezgarcia]

@zrg3 Boy George do you really wanna hurt me

[quinsy42]

3:13 that giggle is so cute ♥

[thewonderfulferret]

This guy's a boss.

[andriamty]

Has Simon lost his touch? :/ He's belng so nice to all the contestants!! Good for you Simon!

[saw4650]

@andriamty

nah, there just too good

[xlReMiX55]

Usher found the wrong usher.

[intensity74]

He really should win this show 

[TheAnita99]

@intensity74 Agreed. Hope his fans vote tons! Stiff competition but I think he is like a little black horse.

If he keeps it up and LA chooses the right songs for him he might go to the top.

[richendrick]

he is like usher

[squeakynee]

@sheldonyap A better song? This song sucks and Marcus still managed to make it a great performance. If him and Chris would've swapped songs the outcome would've been the same. It's not the song honey, it's the ability of the singer to make the best out of what was given him.

[sheldonyap]

@squeakynee i manage to listen chris again on stereo and my bad...chris killed superstar. sorree LA! marcus and chris all the way...but chris got swagger!

[90iojknm90]

luv him he should really win he is the only one tht really wants it

[wz12345678900]

$5 million and more! Marcus is it!

[quynhL76]

Love the tone of his voice.

[DUCKLAX30]

Represent Maryland all day Marcus..... Bring it home bruh... DMV Stand up!!!

[missygurl12345]

love this guy i love him he can sang!

[MZTHICKNSEXY100]

HE GOT MY VOTE

[Bittzib]

am i the only one who thinks that LA reids head looks like chocolate candy.....

[KyriahDee]

@Bittzib lol yes

[beautifuldisaster972]

reminds me of kirt franklin =]

[PussyLiquor2010]

Marcus is easily the best singer in the males category, its just that everyone has more of a bond with chris rene due to his amazing first audition, and as much as i believe in marcus, its chris rene who i hope will be on top

[TheAnita99]

@PussyLiquor2010 I hope you are right! I just hope Marcus keeps gaining fans. He really is a very talented kid. Deserves all the praise. Hopefully someone important out there sees him and offers him a deal, because LA I think will only sign Chris Rene and Astro.

But I still be rooting for you Marcus!

[TheAnita99]

I LOVE HIM So talented Amazing BUT.

Feel like they're downplaying him a little bit though - L.A. keeps trying to shove Astro and Chris down our throats while it's Marcus that has the best male voice in the contest.

The X Factor judges always have an expendable contestant; one they don't put much effort in while focusing their energy on the act(s) the think have more appeal, and I'm afraid it might be Marcus that L.A. just doesn't value.I ONLY heard L.A. talk about the other guys in interviews.

[PussyLiquor2010]

@TheAnita99 Canty was the first person that L.A. put through, I'm sure he's not gonna be downplayin him anytime in the future

[XXTheappleXX]

Ja rule u rule

[jasminepena93]

Be sure to follow Marcus! @IAmMarcusCanty! :) And DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR HIM! :D #TeamMarcusCanty

[callita3]

russell westbrook

[srslayerz]

@callita3 lolol

[xSwizzify]

I like this guy. It looks like he enjoys him self=}

[soleross1]

Love Marcus. LA looks like an alien....

[TheAnita99]

He´s an AMAZING singer. Hope he goes far.

[pj9cyj]

most overrated singer on Xfactor... along with Chris Rene

[chachaaa77]

He's the best singer from the boys category!!!

[MegaPhiltube]

A weak Omarion!!!!!

[squeakynee]

@MegaPhiltube Please!!! Omarion wishes he could sing half as good as Marcus. I've seen Omarion in concert and the 3 notes that he didn't lip sync were out of tune! Marcus is the real deal!

[Jabadabut]

@MegaPhiltube LOL your dellusional

[TheAnita99]

I am rooting for Marcus, hope they choose a better song for him this week.

[DukeFan1971]

Also, I think Melanie Amaro is awesome too. Put her and Josh Krajcik in the finals today, and you could give them BOTH a contract.

[DukeFan1971]

I love how L.A. thinks his category has the most talent...after watching all these videos, I'd have to say Nicole has the most talent, with Josh Krajcik and LeRoy Bell, even though she doesn't always pick the best stuff for them to sing. But then, I don't think Do You Really Want To Hurt Me is a good choice for this guy either. Should have picked something more up his alley.

[IceyBre]

Beautiful xxx

[TheBitingDoll]

AWWW His smile is soooooo cute <3 :)

[lani8686]

His laugh is so cute ;) Love it!

[MadamShizz]

I actually really love him surprisingly. I never thought hed be so good and its awesome. He sounds amazing live (unlike a lot of male pop singers nowadays) and its so refreshing! And that touch of cockiness he has is so sexy! Usually its a turn off, but damn, he so deserves to feel like a bad ass because he so is. I cant wait to see what he does with himself and i would so buy his album!

[cutejosephine]

His voiice makes me melt

[pammcadams100]

he's got star's qualities.. he's so self confident and lovely

[inabulan]

he just keeps getting better and better! definitely a finalist fav!

[samari07]

Sisqo back??

[gordonljl]

He Sings Better Than Culture Club LOL!

[gordonljl]

What Song is this? anyone? This song is so AWESOME!

[MrBen1200]

i was skeptical about all the talk on the web and youtube was about illusion confusion but after what they did to these guys at judges house i'm now a beleiver cut them out of all other shows yet they make it to the final 32 and they were the only ones who had a tape of them talking over their performance when no one else did?hell i read the Lyndsey Parker Yahoo column "reality rocks judges house",even she noticed these guys were railroaded.if you get a fair chance and lose fine,but they werent

[lim87c]

LaDanian Tomlinson!



[HarfordLax16]

Rep Maryland well.

[RebelFleur205]

[theyoungsters5]

[bluetoba]

He is may favourite! 

[Sliemadb1]

[missygurl12345]

This guy makes me remember Michael Jackson :( thank you Marcus Canty

[Crisyforlife44]

[62HDK]

That was great!!! Best cover of this song EVER!!  Best to you, Marcus

[JourSaysRelax]

Aww (: 'All Time Low' by The Wanted was playing at the beginning of the video!!

-American fan of the X Factor UK, now watching X Factor USA and The Wanted comes up.. I couldn't be happier <33

[srdz95]

omg he is the best<3

[jasminepena93]

Be sure to follow him! @IAmMarcusCanty! :) And DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR HIM! :D #TeamMarcusCanty

[123trishanne]

@jasminepena93 Thanks, I've been following him for days. He chatted a little yesterday. Sounded excited about his song for next week. Fingers crossed.

[dlfunky1]

I was impressed by him i wasnt sure he was an recording artist but after that perfomance i'm convinced. But what is with all the 80's songs this week 2 george micheal songs and culture club is it a 80's revival or something? lol!

[tomtom2390]

didnt like the song choice either but he still killed it

[KFlahavan]

Love the song choice and what they did with it .. my favorite song choice of the night by far. His performance was pretty good, couple missed notes .. one in the beginning that was pretty bad but overall i thought it was one of the top 5 performances of the night. He actually can't dance as well as I thought he could though.. Anyone comparing him to Usher.. please... He has 1 weird dance move with his feet he does over and over. Not close to Usher on the dance floor.

[TheAnita99]

@KFlahavan HE IS AMAZING. He just needs some choreography and he is way UP there. His vocals were SPOT ON: He is an incredible singer. I think he can grow in this show.

[Sliemadb1]

He sounds a little like Usher in the begging

[Glcsnow]

do they airbrush LA's head? like damn. its like matte smooth finish.

[justtsui]

@Glcsnow lol!!

[kawola17]

@Glcsnow i airbrush it

[tamim4ever]

he keeps on moving he's head like Indians .. lol

[navinbhandari2001]

@tamim4ever  LOL
