The Elimination - Top 9 Eliminations - THE X FACTOR USA 2011

[Jestela7]

awww! really wish leroy's fans woodve picked up the phone!

[MegaJosezam]

That's no fear :/

[Mylime900]

i can't stand steve, at all.

[aaab519]

1:43 weird eye contact much?

[legwithanattitude]

The best man lost

[legwithanattitude]

see this what happens when judges talk shit

[legwithanattitude]

Well Simon had the casting vote and stuffed up

[mstarnicole3]

Hahaha 2:34 Steve looked so pissed...

[mstarnicole3]

@BellaElsman yeah exactly!!! I was so mad that week when everybody was hatin on Nicole bc she went 2 deadlock & Rachel got eliminated. But rlly it was Americas fault 4 puttin her in the bottom & then not Voting. & here, Nicole handled the elimination with a lot more class then Simon did.

[BellaElsman]

Does anyone see the irony in deadlocks?

Simon opts for a deadlock--NO BACKLASH.

Nicole opts for a deadlock--OMG, NOO! THE WORLD IS ENDING!

[RichiaMLT]

WOW I FELT THIS WAS SO UNFAIR TO LEROY. I wish i could change what happened </3 (im not hating on marcus)

[juzwannawatch67]

finally steve says he's getting screamed at. at least ppl will know he doesnt WANT to be rude.

[juzwannawatch67]

ever thought that all the eliminations happened because steve was rushing them and they didnt think properly? LOL

[Lynx45678]

If Steve hadn't taken a 45 second pause before announcing every name in the earlier part of the show, he wouldn't have had to rush them now...

[FlyingHighMo]

The Right People Left That Week

[loletalovely]

PEOPLE ARE BEING NEGATIVE BECAUSE THEY THINK YOUR SO MEAN...BUT THATZ WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS CONTROL THE TIMING OF HOW MUCH THEY TALK SO THAT THE SHOW CAN GO ON AND OFF ON TIME...THANK GOODNESS STEVE FOR YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB THAT THE FIRST SEASON BECAME A SUCCESS...ALONG WITH THE PERFORMERS THAT WERE AMAZING ALL AROUND.....LOVE THIS SHOW...STEVE...YOU'RE A BIG PART OF ITZ SUCCESS.

[loletalovely]

STEVE ...YOU'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB....I LOVE YOUR WORK AND YOU'VE DONE THE BEST YOU CAN AND DELIVERED. HAVING TO CONTROL THE TIMING OF THE JUDGES SPEAKING LIKE FOREVER...ITZ A HARD THING TO DO.

[MrProdopo]

its simon fault, he went to deadlock and saved marcus and he ruined him! hhehe

[BitchBitMe]

i wish he had said..

LEROYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYY BELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLL lol

[jerryingmaster]

I bet Simon is regretting his decision now. If he sent home Marcus now, there is no way Leroy will outlast Drew and Rachel given his streak of boring performances.

[agosgoigui]

I adore Marcus. Howerer, up to my mind, Leroy should have stayed in the competition.

[amolamusicacarajo]

I Love Leroy......i think he was the best,and i wish you the best Leroy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are a real musician,only you!!!!(and Josh)

[arsenalmanic]

dont worry about the little girl going, SHE WILL MAKE MONEY NOW for her and family. NO NEED TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER

she is only young too, so many years ahead, just the beginning

[22cecib]

love u leroy b!

!!! :(

[incisor456]

4:16 The moment Simon Cowell eliminated Drew and Rachel Crow at the same time LOL

[AJsfree2toke]

awww.... Cya leroy! You were great man! Props to you!!! Dont stop doing music, it seems like you have a nice life, enjoy and be happy. :)

[fifoflyable]

Leroy is memorable, Marcus NOT! :)

[chrisblack767]

WTF LEROY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO he was my favorite 

[clemisery]

I'LL MISS YOU LEROY ):

[ericao9]

Leroy is the best, not many persons can still have a great voice.

[cherryhuai]

oaula is like afraid of nicole, i noticed her doing everything nicole like it to be.. paula is like nicole;s sidekick

[erikaaaflores]

paula's so rude. "it's not that quick steve" UHH. YOU TRY DOING HIS JOB. THE QUESTION WAS "WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE ACT YOU'RE SENDING HOME PLEASE" NOT "GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION OF WHO YOU THINK IS BETTER"

[nima0022]

I love the host Paula n Nicole love to keep talking n taking so much time talking Ish. He needs to be rude.really every week they go thru this

[tinhmaibenanh1]

I don't know if I should like or dislike this video because I really like both of them...

[raulevich]

ASTRO SUCKS

[spinarado]

i thought Swizz Beats was on the X Factor for a minute

[MundyArtStudio]

wow i was so shocked to hear he was 59, almost 60 ???

he doesnt even look 40 ?

and his voice still sounds so good !

[wlmp]

if Steve left less pauses in between announcing those acts that will be going through earlier, he wouldn't have gotten screamed at :)

[Perfection2308]

Lol, i love how there are way more dislikes than likes, THAT says something.

America voted wrong... And i'm p.... sorry, but it's true.

- and LA p... me even more off, i mean, really LA? You're ALWAYS talking down - on Simons girls.

I. wanna. throw. something. at. someone. now.

[RJREID1992]

He's 59? I thought he was in his twenties!!

[2010Delcid]

@Jessie111B you know he doesn't want to right? He has to interrupt when they take to long they are live which means they have a time limit if he doesn't tell them to hurry up he'll get yelled at by the producers did you not hear him say "I'm getting yelled at" and if he does it to nice they won't listen so he has to be a little rude

[leadlid22]

love u LeRoy Bell..

[Jessie111B]

i HATE the host !!! very rude and disrespectful

[itsztommy]

HE HAS TO RUSH THEM FOR THE TIME OF THE SHOW. You guys are really retarded sometimes.

[SideburnsRule841]

@itsztommy All the time.

[0122738254]

oh poo :(

[iJAEHCE]

you ever notice he never rushes simon lmao..

[RuthieJey]

@iJAEHCE Simon could fire him...

[DeionSC2]

They took that little kid over leroy is how I see this. RETARDED.

[nonnez324]

Shame on you Simon . . . like you even care to read this . . . doesn't pay enough does it?!?

[oldascosmicdust]

QUESTION ABOUT STEVE? wtf is a bloke doin on the american version? dang, another job for an american taken by a foreigner. just saying

[Sleepichick]

@oldascosmicdust Seriously? What does his nationality have to do with anything?

[oldascosmicdust]

@Sleepichick  THIS IS THE USA! another outsourced job. get an american in there.

[Sleepichick]

@oldascosmicdust Actually it is the entertainment industry,where nationality means next to nothing. Do you notice who the head judge is? That's right Simon Cowell. He's English in case you hand't guessed. Do you know who the production company is behind the X factor? Its Syco. Founded by the aforementioned Simon Cowell. So..... why shouldn't he have British person hosting his show? I would imagine that there are a lot of behind the scenes people who are also not American. Get over it.

[thepokigur]

@oldascosmicdust who said this is american show?

[BsophieeeB]

too bad leroy had to leave, but I do like Marcus!

[ZACKYCHAN100]

blah blah blah bloody americans

[Andy041983]

"well its not that quick steve" next season you won't appear again ia HOST. thank you...

[sllarson84]

it takes them forever.

[SpiceUnionIslandGal]

I love what Simon did, let the public decision, both artists are great. I am really proud of them..

[Ilovecassi100]

I like leroy soo much, his voice is epic and i think better than marcus, but I respect the way marcus handles himself. Very genuine guy, everything is likeable about him

[yunnellington]

Leroy I love you!! Pls make an album Si I can buy them!! Steve , Haisss can you be a bit nicer and the person who speaking to him thru the earpiece. Pls. Pls just give the judges to finish talking. Don't hurry them. But Leroy I just love your voice so so much!!

[lovemusiclivepeace]

They should hunt down Brian Dunkleman from the first season of American Idol to host. He was a way better host then Steve. I'm sure he has nothing better to do.

[jjgal92]

Then its also his job to not make it so hostile and panicky and ppl hating on him right? Like ppl dont enjoy e way he host. Every single host gets screamed at or wtv srsly but they stay cool calm and funny...mostly nice to the judges -.- he likes to spark fire pls

[salvacuban]

Really tho??? The public sucks ass and they can all lick balls and go to hell. Non voting bastards. Tget would pick his Mario sounding little ass versus a real singer. I hope that man gets a record deal so I can buy all his records, Im not supporting marcus at all. That man Leroy should of got it.

[Myaucat]

knew he was going to get sent home after that lip syncing incident.

[OZ201038]

Marcus should had been sent home. He want last very with the other artist out here.

[Lecadaf]

I agree it's not he's fault but he could be a little more sensitive on his phrases!

[bunch2914]

agree...steve is a great host...just behind him he need to follow....he had an order!!and thats his work!!

[dododo14562]

wtf!!!!

[emichh4]

2:52 LOL guy in the back pointing at the screen and paula saying " well its not that quick steve " and

[ScarletTheDragonfly]

WTf... did he said 59? How in hell would that dude be 59...

[jjluna222]

HORRIBLE HOST...AGREED!!!!! HE'S GOTTA GO!!!!



[marxandmarzipan]

@jjluna222 STEVE JONES IS AMAZING! But we have got better in England.........GO DERMOT O LEARY!

[grete46]

LeRoy - we are all waiting for your album. You should not have been voted off but please continue to sing and make records. You should give us the pleasure of being able to listen to your wonderful voice. Stay strong and know that so many love you from all over the world.

[luisr12491]

Terrible host. 

[robsysory]

Guys it's not Steve's fault! Didn't you hear him say "I'm getting screamed at" He has to move the show along or he will get fired for letting the judges talk. Stop hating on Steve, cuz it's not his fault.

[FloatingNotes]

@robsysory yeah, sure... he will get fired by simon cowell cuz he let simon cowell talk... lol

Anyway there is a certain way to do everything... the host should be more gentle in the hurry up :/

[Angellana2]

@robsysory IT IS HIS FAULT! You NEED to watch X Factor UK if you haven't and see how the situation should really be handled. You can be firm without being so rude! AWFUL HOST!

[superchinaro12]

@robsysory yes its not all his fault but just the way he handles himself is not appropriate. i bet if you put ryan seacrest in the position he would handle it with a little more grace and politness. it wouldnt be so awkward

[tinhmaibenanh1]

@robsysory I totally agree with you. 3:23 is where you can here him say that, people!

[Chiku27yt]

@nanasanju at the first audition, rachel was just jokin when she said that her family has like no money, but i think that she didn't really said that to embarrass her family or make fun of them. she just said that out of humor and to make the judges laugh a little? i guess rachel is someone we need in this competition.

[vintagerosenz]

Is the double elimination this week?

[vintagerosenz]

Leroy was the only reason I watched it so I'm not watching it anymore. I will go to the site to see who is eliminated and MAY watch the final or just google it. I think Melanie or Josh will win, not because I like them, because I don't. Just by who I think has the most talent, not by fandom.

[Lanefair95]

Next week is ANOTHER double elimination! D:

I say Astro and Drew will leave

[itsespybro]

Leroy is 59.....

Wooooooo..........

Age boy.. Looks like he's only 31 lol.

Astro bouta take it, if he don't that's wack. He's out performing everyone every week

[DeathFlowerLvl7]

@itsespybro Hes 60...

[nanasanju]

It's sad becoz LeRoy is now out of the competition.

Astro is cool, but I don't like his attitude since the audition.

Rachel is cute, but I don't like the way she talked about her family at the first audition; mostly when I knew that they're her adoptive family.

Marcus and Drew is great, but they're not my favorites.

Josh, no question, what a powerful voice

Chris... his voice is not that great, but I think he'll be brilliant in composing

For me, Melanie is beyond all of them. Wow!

[SamanthaJFonua1]

not that I am a huge fan of either shows but ryan seacrest was @ least smooth with his hosting.

[lolcatzization]

i loved leroy's voice too but I actually really enjoyed Marcus' survival song as well, I'm not sure why the female judges said Marcus' performance was bad? i loved it

[leahcimnerak]

sad...leroy is just a record singer..

[gtjacobs]

Why can't the producers time events so there's not such a rush at the end? Seriously, can't they plan a television show? They're big producers!

[SamanthaJFonua1]

@gtjacobs it's all the freakin commercials.

[gtjacobs]

@foosiew - Pay a little attention to YouTube views and likes/dislikes. Astro is very popular with his fanbase, and he'll be safe for another week, because Marcus is the next to go. After that, it'll be Astro and Drew, leaving Josh, Rachel, Chris and Melanie in the top 4.

[poppyaje]

look whose back, mr. McCocky aka astro

[sctrjose]

para que tener otro usher, ya con uno es suficiente!! marcus es hofra de irte a tu casa. go home marcus!!!!! lo que dicen de drew es cierto es superfenomenal, lo que pasa es que simon no le otorga otras canciones de otro genero.. a mi me parece que tiene buen timbre de voz y que sabe jugar con ella... saludos

[NobodyAroundHere]

@sctrjose duh fuhh

[MiguelVistro]

Lets go Astro! Stand up!

[fieldhockeyx333]

stop hating on steve! people are screaming in his ear to wrap it up! you know these shows always save the elimination till the very end!

[zack21100]

Based on who is voting and fan bases, the top 5 will most likely be Melanie, Josh, Chris, Rachel, and Astro. Since he was in the bottom two last week and he does not have that large a fan base as the others, Marcus will leave. Drew will also leave because if anything she has lost votes. She is just not as great as everybody says she is.

[theloveofrihanna]

@zack21100 if we see it talent wise,Marcus,Melanie,josh,and astro are the talented ones

[TediusZanarukando]

I am disappointed that Marcus was in the bottom three last week. I will be upset if he goes home this week. His mother set a deadline when it comes to becoming a recording artist, and I respect that by voting for him. I think Drew and Astro should go home this week. Astro should have been in the bottom three last week instead of Marcus. Drew is overrated and lacks originality; she gave more the same week after week.

[bongalex88]

I have some feeling that Marcus is not gonna win this competition and to be honest I don't really like him.

[originalbobbeast3]

the crowd boos no matter what

[MrFreshkidd123]

nicole just likes leroy

[mengmenghelen]

steve is rude.

[gaby47]

love how paula said "well its not that quick steve -.- " ... he's not a good host definetely not nice and not polite at all

[marxandmarzipan]

@gaby47 Its not Steve that is hurrying them on he's just a messenger. In his ear piece he'll have the directors ushering him on! There is a time limit to how long the show can last, you know.

[Sleepichick]

@gaby47 He's a very good host. He is being told by the producers that he has to hurry them up. Thats his job. The judges take far too long and they know it. " Oh you know this is a very hard decision....." Obviously. Maybe Hollywood has tainted you so you automatically see British people as the bad guys. Or maybe the Americans are just not capable of accepting a different style than their own.

[MrChanDawg]

We'll miss you LeRoy, screw Marcus.. he did horrible.

[cdarkes1]

i knew he was 59 but he made it far for his age

[alamode000]

Oh goodness Steve pleaseeeeeeeeeee! he needs to stop interrupting judges

[Tamito777]

More smile and positive dear host please!

[Daftcows2011]

guys, the reality is that all the rest will have to leave at some point, and only ONE winner will be selected. i dont believe its the end of one's dream. this is just one avenue to realizing it. if it doesn't work, look for another one. if you want to be an artist so badly you will. Stop being too hard to Steve. if he doesn't interrupt the judges, they will talk forever, yet the show has only one hour on TV...what to do!!!!!

[kamathy1]

How did Marcus get there? Honestly based on consistency, Marcus has delivered week after week.... Leroy Bell is an amazing singer i love to listen to him but in terms of performance Marcus is alittle up there... I will not relax again i got busy lask week didn't vote for marcus i will make sure that never happens again!

[BloodOfRayne]

This is fixed! Obviously Steve Jones got the lowest number of votes! :)

[junkai44]

omg i diddnt watch the auditions, i had no idea he was 59?!! i thought he was like 35 until i watched this

[princessanna57]

3:25 "I'm being screamed at" hahaha

[luffAriana143]

I love how the judges ignore steve because its like shut up. i love when nicole took the microphone and said he's amazing and i think leroy is awesome even though i dont know that much songs he sings because im a kid.

[cheezelschan]

I love how all the judges are just ignoring the host.

Steve: "Hurry up guys"

Judges: *continues talking*

[djzeez221]

What's wrong with the nicole babe?

[djzeez221]

I don't care if he sang for his life..the two female judges where being bias...

[nicollda]

bello leroy, canta lindoooo

[LaYolita2011]

It´s a pity, LeRoy was my favorite. :(

[MASTERNCS]

these two deserve to be in the finals if Drew did not exist.

[thelionking807]

i hate simon and will continue to hate him ugh he disgusts me. he didn't have the guts to send home marcus

[slimjimzquinn27]

hah! steve's face when nicole stole the mic 5:31.

[neenster1000]

rachel crow will sell better than drew  she has that pizzaz and really isnt limited to what she can sing look at jennifer hudson

[liltes16945]

awwww i love both of them :(

[bunnieshortcake]

I can´t stop watching when Nicole took the microphone and  said he´s amazing and lets hear from Leroy bell :)

[kamarll]

LA and simon are following the script. Higher rating Created drama n teaming. Team simon & team LA.They wanted DRew to win frm the bginng because there is market for her out there. She can the new taylor n bieber and will sell more. white people buy record n they listen to drew kind of music. Astro limited. Rachel n melanie limited w small x. Josh great voice n talent but this is not UK. Crene u can be in the final with drew if u show ur vocal range u can go higher n try sing ballad n let the b

[Veeistheillest]

Can Paula just stop voting before she has a mental breakdown

[Stupify8]

OMG HE'S 59?!! he looks 35

[NeverrrEverrr]

Dermont from UK XF is 1000000% better than him...

[skysurvivor619]

The only thing I'm upset about is the fact that Lakota Rain got sent home :(

[realNZT]

whys everyone hating on steve :(?

[liacokelat]

@realNZT because he always say "ok, ok.. " especially to Nicole.. hate it

[HELEIEP]

@realNZT

thats ppl. they just follow what other ppl said. like them hating on justin bieber bcz he is young famous singer.

no one answers you bcz they have no aanswer at all.

he is not unique but he isn't that bad.

[weby099]

@realNZT I think everyone gets that he has a hard job and people a screaming in his ears, but he has so many faults. He is constantly interupting people, judges and contestants, he doesn't connect with the audience at all, he's boring, and no offense, but isn't that funny, lol. He just doesn't do well under pressure. I know it's his first year, but I don't sense improvement throughout the live shows. Just my 2 cents - please don't feel offended. :)

[memekidfan]

STEVE GO HOME!

[Jinxxed11]

how bad is this.. both of them dedicated their performance to their mom's..

[zhengyu1989]

I miss the audition periods, because we won't see steve on stage !!!!!

[jedryan33]

@MeNyouNuss other singers can write songs, but not quickly like astro can do,did your hear wat LA said astro can write songs 10 songs within a week!! no one teaches a good writer!

[MeNyouNuss]

@jedryan33 im pretty sure they all can write lyrics.. and im pretty sure someone else is helping "astro" write his lyrics. his song about his mom is not even that good ( but he does have flow) and compare that to the lyrics now, what suddenly he knows more words? pft puuhlease

[gtjacobs]

@MeNyouNuss - What makes you "pretty sure they can all write lyrics"? Lots of successful artists can't; what makes these contestants all such natural writers? What evidence have we got that any of Simon's girls have ever written a song? It's not the easiest thing in the world.

[warriors9601]

@jedryan33

they didnt send him home, even if i would like that..

[GiBiT14]

I miss ryan seacrest as a host.

[MeNyouNuss]

cmon america lets send astro home!!

[TheBellefillenoire]

Paula got mad at Steve at 2:49 .Lol. "IT'S NOT THAT QUICK, STEVE!"

[bueno9122]

Steve Jones - largest sugar on the ground . .

[canucksandbb]

they made the right decision marcus is the best and should win !

[G1Rave]

Astro should win! 

[FrankieeAteTheDinos]

Tbh you can't tell steve to shut up he's probably got producers screaming down his ears to hurry the judges up! I love steve,,, :) but im British so i would love him!

[beach436]

GET STEVE OF OF OF OF

[TheBellefillenoire]

@beach436 *off

[southparkallstars]

that girl group needs to leave they suck so does the host

go leroy

[jellybean1234jess]

how did steve become host???!!why he always said "the dream is over" !!! stupid man!!

[southparkallstars]

leroy is a boss and marcus is 2. but steve the host sucks so badly.

[HalfPinoy100]

SHHHUTT UP STEVE!!!!

[looneyruni]

simon cowell is once again an IDIOT!

[lovepoison102]

Aww
