LeRoy Bell - Top 12 - THE X FACTOR USA 2011

[MrSercooo]

He looks like Ryan Leslie! And Nicole say "Les is More"!! Ryan Leslie´s name of his new album is Les is More! An OMEN!!



[jarnebeyls]

The dude has style!

[MegaFroso]

His voice is mesmerizing and he is so passionate and himself when he sings...........

[lawrencetheboy]

HE DOESN'T LOOK A SINGLE BIT LIKE 59!!!

[norizaliah]

Great, great voice!

[edmond5050]

hes sick, 59, siings great and looks really young and he has a good family.

[earlybecomings]

there is no one in the world that has aged this well.

[cherryhuai]

@earlybecomings i am 31.. and my profile pic here is real me ;)

[dazeguy513]

GLAD IM BLACK WE AGE WELL

[amolamusicacarajo]

Es muuuuy injusto que se haya ido,pero la industria de la mùsica es simplemente money money money hoy en dìa y buscan lo comercial.....Yo,sin emabrgo siempre me quedarè con este tipo de cantantes como Leroy que trasmiten puro amor con su voz y su presencia...gracias Leroy x existir!!!

[DiabeticL]

Wonder how he got his hands on that potion of Eternal Youth. He must've drank it somewhere in his mid 30s.

[AuraArumina]

NO ES JUSTO SACARLO....Estos jueces han cometido una soberana injusticia...el tiene ademas de VOZ MATIZADA, CALIDEZ, PERSONALIDAD, ENTONACION, NO NECESITA CHILLAR, EN FIN ... Los adultos necesitamos mas voces asi de ese estilo, Factor X no puede ser solo para elegir jovenes gritones....por favor....¡¡¡

[jorgerp20]

@AuraArumina estoy totalmente deacuerdo contigo....

[Yakushi0Mikatsu]

@AuraArumina pff no es solo culpa de los jueces pues muchos no votaron por el ¬¬

[80srbija]

AMAZING!!!

[LaMaAaOa]

His voice is amazing.. I'm so sad to see him out from this competition. Gonna miss him.. :\

[mimi15281]

Es muy reconfortante ver a un hombre como Leroy espero que esa impresion que tenemos en latinoamerica de le sea precisa y clara, porque se ve que es un gran hombre, y con un enorme talento , yo compraria sus cd, es enorme su voz y su aptitud ante la vida a pesar de que tanga sus desafios demustra de que esta hecho, talento, talento y aptitud te felicito adelante esto es impresionante para todos .Gracias Simon por dar oprtunidades a personas mas adultas.

[musafiruk]

How come he looks so young??!! Amazing !!! :)



[MJG956]

I usually agree with Simon,but where was His brain when He chose to save the rapper Astro over this most evidently talented REAL singer? I thought this was a singing contest,not a rapping contest?

[btymciw]

@MJG956 Agreed, But I suppose it would be the fact that this guy may not be able to sing this way or even close in the next 10 years, Astro will most likely still have it in the next 20yrs. Simon wants money, He wants an artist that will be able to last, and continue to make money. Buy I agree about the Raping. Rap should be taken out of the Music Genera. Just a Bunch of Grown Men Making poems, and putting a beat behind it so it doesn't sound so gay.

[bleah95]

Less is more??

*Simon roll eyes*

[DiabeticL]

He looks like he's 30.

[AnnaCherry123]

This guy is Amazing!!! And 59 yrs old!! NO WAY!! Simon's a prick for his comments and getting rid of him on the competition. Louis Walsh is a better judge than him lol.....fool! Lol

[TheSydneyDee]

I know his son , I know his son , i know his son !!!!!!!!!!! (((((: I go to school with himmmmmmmmmmmmmm ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhh hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!

[ajuncosa]

DIOS QUE HOMBRE QUE ESTÁ BUENO, UF Y CANTA HERMOSO

[melanynigth]

@ajuncosa si esta como quiereee supongo que el sueño de variasss... jajaja y que mega voxxx cierto???

[ChocolateLoverROFL]

X Factor in not worth watching anymore :(...... <3 Leroy

[according2Jo]

LeRoy you connected with me from the very first note that came out of your mouth! You are absolutely magnetic .... I watch XFactor just to watch you!

[izallskilfoo]

I love him, but his voice is kind of weak.

[cagelsthrough]

@izallskilfoo He could use a little lime and honey

[cecilia99670]

muy buena voz Leroy eres dulce .....pero no creo que tengas 59 años

[SeLoOoStYle]

damn he is 59!! actually he looks like 29

[jblovelol1]

I love him he looks like hes about 35 years old!!!

[wolvo7]

Anyone knows what's the music playing in the background from 0:48 to 1:12? I've heard it before but can't pinpoint it. Thx

[tdraben3]

@wolvo7 Somewhere Only We Know by Keane

[182Lalus182]

perfect ;)

[curseblazing]

Ooh, Simon got owned

[slancaster22]

I love him....I wish I could look that good @ 60. Wow! I really wish him the best of luck...and he does sound like Michael Bolton. Also, less is more sometimes~ He comes from Seattle, Washington...my town! Whoop! Whoop! I had a blast being at X factor....It really was exciting!

[vintagerosenz]

mum and I cried hearing this. This was our favourite performance from him :'). It's so beautiful. I wish I could download it, but I'm out of the USA! I have to use youtube download

[maharba664]

He can be a Hunk for his age category

[HDTanel]

He looks like The Rock, but skinny.

[morgean23]

Oh my post was too long - but let the song, the story, the music live thru your body - that is the difference bt u n Josh K. He gives his body up to b a vehicle for the song...

[morgean23]

No u can't marry him bc I am going too :-).

Leroy - you have an awesome voice but you do have to get a little more animated or you will be kicked off - but it won't b bc of u voice. Your voice is incredible and so soothing but if u turn down the sound and just watch yourself you will see that you look the same no matter what might b coming out of your mouth. You need to let those feelings run thru your body and let them come out. I know u don't agree w Simon but he is usually pretty accurate

[kfrigon]

I want to marry this guy. Can I?

[julivs3]

Torço por ele.

[Sheridan0313]

The person who is on the bass is my teachers brother :DDDD

[eshad1]

pls he should do a Dan Hill song. :)

[MasterOfBeyblade1000]

@eshad1 I totally agree. Sometimes When We Touch would be perfect for him.

[phofling1]

that voice is the best man. congratulations!!!!!

[musicbreaker101]

There were plenty of winners and solo alumni of 10 seasons of American Idol, Idol worldwide, X factor worldwide but only very very few survive or last in the music industry today. Many just in silence or really faded away. They just had a short taste of the limelight. Simon Cowell is inconsistent too ever since. Do you think this contestant will last for more than 10 years limelight like Kelly Clarkson? Don't always follow ur heart, use ur head sometimes. Sorry but am just telling the reality

[RelentlessFaithOne]

He looks and sounds like Lionel richie.

[eesceet]

Is he really 59? It's uncredible, and he has a great voice. Good luck

[puffiamiyummi]

ANDO ENAMORADA DE ESTE HOMBRE Y SOLO TENGO 21 AÑOS... ES VERY VEREY SEXY.... y su voz es bellisimaaaaaa <3 <3 <3

[TheMusicSubscriber0]

Old fashion my ass, SimonE ;)

[gsager6273]

Love this! Love the voice!

[SingSongSon]

I want him to dig deeper 1:08

[notbigenuf]

I watched this after watching some of Chris Rene. see, now this guy has real talent and a great voice. whew..... revives my faith in some of these shows that there's still talent out there needing to be tapped into.

[fubolas]

wena peloconcha!!!!

[vintagerosenz]

I love this. Mum loved it too

[Jasmine781333]

I cried during daaaah song . ):

waahhhwahhh.

[purple21lau]

I pinky promise I would totally buy an album

[andromeda05able]

This man has a wonderful voice; saw in several videos and I love him; I can´t understand why he has not been successful; He has something very special. He has The X Factor. Wrinting from México City.

[jj161612]

sorry what is the song at 0:47

[silvinhago1]

perfeito



[riovincentius]

suddenly feel bad for my grandpa

[elusiveangel8]

His voice pierces my soul in a good way.

[mattttty56]

He looks like kid cudi's dad.

[vmfleming1]

I want to look like that when I'm 59!

[ZegoAttack]

@vmfleming1 he is 60

[Bile74]

@vmfleming1 60years old!

[Annuhh123]

@vmfleming1 Amen to that! he looks at least 20 years younger than he actually is.

[vmfleming1]

I want to look that when I'm 59!

[TheMiSsShoeLover]

love this! he is seriously good! love his voice! no performance, no lies, just singing!

[tok454]

this is Phil colins ways of singing love that songs and his voice !

[TheRylanatorx]

The hottest grandpa ever!

[horolographer1]

Listening to his voice, I keep seeing Kenny Rogers but a handsomer and nicer sounding version. More hip more current more relevant today. Hope to see you do well in this competition Leroy!

[hugrinho44]

Woooooooooooowww !!!!!!!! Great singer, amazing voice !

[Marikat88]

Me encanta!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheZyueinsten]

[MrLediv]

He's like a diamond in the rough.

[1supaflygirl]

[eianj]

[genell01]

THEREZ NO WAY THIS MAN CAN BE 60~HE LOOKZ GOOD & IM 21 SAYING THIS~MR. BELL I NEED TO KNOW WHAT U DOING & WHERE I CAN GET SOME LOL~I HOPE WHEN IM 60 I CAN LOOK AS YOUTHFUL AS U!!!!

[Ptheu2001]

I would love to hear him sing some up beat song !!!

He got a great voice, but he has been only singing balads !!

[Zedian4lyf]

Would like to hear him sing a Michael Bolton song & am certain he would sound so cool

[Superiorsux]

@Zedian4lyf haha now ive read this i notice how much hes like michael bolton

[vintagerosenz]

@Zedian4lyf omg..me too!

[gabrielle02gt]

@Zedian4lyf eeexactly...

[ThexxStigxx]

@Zedian4lyf a Michael Bolton song would of been perfect for yesterday's episode

[cesard024]

idk why some of the judges didnt like this performance i thought this was one of his best!!!

[polanskyify]

amazing voice!

[sgaroli]

Leroy, you're just incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wortnot1]

I wanna see him perform Lean on Me again.

[Yoboii567]

He likes like he's in his thirties..

[mrsmonkey20]

I would buy his album, and i'm 15.

[skgh22]

good skin......ifu take care of ur self u can certainly look like this man

this guy drank outta some fountain of water and aint telling no1

[cannoir]

Aight he looks very youthful and dresses trendy.I can tell he has not done any hard menial work.He needn't do them.But they take a toll on your health.It doesn't matter if you peel off the dead skin with a razor blade or moisturize it with avocado it will still look a bit old. I am half his age and I am clean, I don't drink alcohol because of my religion but I am completely grey.

[skgh22]

good skin......ifu take care of ur self u can certainly look like this man

[zoomzoombob]

what song is this?

[bevhenss1]

@zoomzoombob The song is "Already There" by Lone Star

[98zenaida]

Leroy is amazing

[fotosdelillo]

THIS DUDE IS AWESOME ,

[glenr1989]

im young he is unreal



[MGB644GP]

Great voice - nice guy deserves to win or maybe 2nd to Josh.

Real talent but unfortunately younger viewrs will go for the rappers

which in fairness can't be compared to real music.

Sould have a seperate X factor for Rappers

[paulAFC1995]

@MGB644GP ignorance at its finest. Rap is just as "real" as any other genre of music. Whether its a moving ballad or a sick beat, music is music.

[MrTimmy852]

3.02 CAITLIN KOCH AT THAT BACK. haha look-alike LOL

[golibang]

reminiscence of eric clapton?

[nikaledesma]

how is he related to singer Regina Bell?

[Qui6582]

what a beautiful man....nice voice too...

[SquishyCandyftw]

they should give him a Marvin Gaye song.

He has yet to have a good song choice.... 

[mokong500]

one of my favorite here in xfactor..you did a great job ..and wht is your secret to be young at your age so amazing..

[Andre00x]

SImon is always right, Nicole is getting made because she's not the center of attention anymore.

[lovinginvain]

wow<3 Leroy sounds like Michael Bolton. Love you....< 3

[mark84g5]

no way hez 59 years old!!

[Duran0101able]

nice voice!

[Stan3298]

He's obviously lipsinging.

[JollyRodger39]

he has really stepped it up and improved

[brixton20]

HOT DADDY ^_^

[sithu04]

vote for him as i have feeling simon and la wanna get rid of him.

[Minaj199]

thiss song madde me cry ;')

[C1234530]

LeyRoy, you are hot hot hot

[TheJulietred]

I am 9 hours by plane away from my family. This song makes my tears fall...

[NeuroToxin109]

Lol this song makes me laugh.

"Dad when you comin home?"

"I'm alreeeeeeady therrrrreee!"

"No dad... Really, I need to borrow the car."

[170chic]

Leroy singing voice reminds me of Eric Clapton's, so if he sings Tears in Heaven i'm gonna pass out.

[jman1489]

Nicole should spice it up and have him sing Blink-182's "What's My Age Again?" this week.

[levi777ish]

@jman1489 :DDDDDD good one

[stichez55]

@jman1489 i hope youre joking -__-

[wlmp]

the hottest and sexiest Grandpa in the world (both vocal and looks). Leroy FTW !

[SydneySuzanne13]

I freaking love this guy. I wanna meet him, he seems so nice!

[patous2]

I am a dad and that was awesome

[crazyboy41100]

I bet he would do really well singing Luther's song "dance with my father again"

[ScorpianeGayle]

:) PURE TALENT

[ashleyboo579]

theres no way he's 59! damn hes sexy

[sithu04]

@ashleyboo579 he is recording artist in 80s but failed

[SsCardenal]

Must be lame too know your granddad dresses cooler than you

[kien905]

Thumbs up if you'd like to him to sing "Said I love you but I lied" by Michael Bolton on the next live show!

[tasha74561]

i like this guy i would buy all his album

[karlirose122]

@tasha74561 he actually has 3!!!! i have them all. i know his son and he gave them to me! look him up on iTunes!!!!!

[wakemeup54]

TOUCHED MY HEART :') 

[Liviasantos9]

I cried every time Nicoles cries in the show!!!!I know is silly but i do!!!!I love her I hope she stays in the next shows!

[krekmanski]

he always does the "1 tone up" ....

[ChristineDaae3]

very beautiful, I wish him to win!!!

[hexad12]

leroy was lipsycing in the beginning. but his voice is beautiful and i love him:)

[oohrahash]

I really want something to come out of this competition for this guy!! We all have dreams....and when you get older you get less time to acheive them. I am always impressed by people that never take no for an answer...and continue to strive for their dreams no matter what age they are!

[TheRoroki]

@oohrahash very well said

[luvmegirl89]

like him but I dont think it was a good song choice

Goooo LEROY!!!!

[lordofkronos]

@luvmegirl89 good point, it was a crap song, he should be voted out next imo

[ayeitskathay]

I thought it was the PERFECT song choice.

[TheEverEssence]

He is INCREDIBLE!! He sounds like he has total confidence but just looks like he's not sure what to do with his hands. I love how humble he is but I know that he can connect on a deeper level then he already is.

[Christina9520]

omg I cried the whole time just thinking of the men and women over seas singing this to there kids....

[lordofkronos]

@Christina9520 um yea i think their too busy fighting a......WAR. to be singing lame songs

[vickyanish]

Damn hes 59 it cant be true no no no no no Damn.... screams Simon in the mens Restroom....

[lazimofo90]

Anything Leroy Bell is good.It doesnt matter what he sings.

[vinnyhundreds]

the reason Simon said he had a confidence issue is because he hasnt pushed himself out of the genre of his music to make it his own, look at josh krajcik hes bein ballsy, on the other hand Leroy is playing it safe, not saying hes doing well, but thats what Simon wants is for Leroy to take risks.

[ukeinfused]

LeRoy! I LOVE your voice and your persona, I WANT you to stay in this thing... i'd really like to SEE your eyes more during the song like we do after the song (4:17)...

[MrRapperb]

They all are soooooo goood!!! everyone in Final!!! can everyone get deal???

[DanyDesideri]

Beautiful!! He sounds a bit like Michael Bolton..I love that sound!

[danidnb]

I usually dont feel like that... but that man is special... what a voice!! what a look!! congratulations!!! alll the best...

[Cary2468]

What confidence issue???

[gaby47]

for once nicole is right! sometimes less is more!

[EdenRainbow]

I love him

[Hotmami1982]

Leroy bell is one of hell fine man...damn!!!! with a great voice

[hotdog2020]

All of these people destroy American Idol. Here is my NEW show good bye IDOL

[RJA0183]

They are all really good!

[conejorafael]

Perfect!

[mypeastew]

This guy is as exciting to watch as a watching paint dry....booooring!

I'm not the typr of audience member who needs Stereo Hogz-style dancing and light show (which was great btw) but this guy needs some stage confidence.

Simon is right on the money....AGAIN.

By this time next year, I will be struggling to remember this guys name. You know the old dude that made the top 12?!?!?!
