After Astro left the competition tonight it came down to a showdown between Marcus Canty and Drew Ryniewicz; the results were outrageous! Drew leaving the competition has to be one of the worst events that ever took place during this race for the $5 million dollar jackpot.


While I started off liking Marcus, after L.A. Reid told him what he should be and he followed suit I grew tired of him immediately. What's funny is that he claims that he wants to make him into the next Bobby Brown, but for once I agree with Simon on something, "The world only needs one Bobby Brown". Why would L.A. even want Marcus to strive toward that anyway? I mean he is acting like Bobby is some prize, after his one solo album where has career even gone?


L.A. tries to make Marcus into this huge sex symbol by putting him in these obnoxious outfits and having him gyrate all over the place. What spark Marcus had is totally gone because it has been eaten up after listening to what L.A. thinks that he should be. Now he gets on stage huffing and puffing hitting sour and sloppy behind notes and I am definitely not feeling it.


People truly have lost touch with what music really is if they feel you have to constantly be singing a dance hit to make good music. On its own Drew's voice has a unique quality that you do not hear all the time, while on the other hand Marcus sounds like any other dude who sings R&B or "The Next Bobby Brown".


The judges should not be voting, America should be making the decision. After all, we are the ones who will be buying the CDs right? I am curious as to how it would have went down if they actually went by the votes like they should have.


Anyways, my two ♥'s are still in the competition: Drew, Melanie, and Rachel.


The survival battle



Marcus Canty



Better than his usual hurt performances, but some of those notes were rough!
