X Factor 2011 Results: Top 5 Elimination

CHRIS IS SAFE!!!

i dont like josh.

have they announced the bottom 2??

the wait is killing me……. dang

okay so who went home?

I want Rachel to stay and Marcus out!! :S

i want Rachel to go home, shes an ok singer, she tends to cut her notes short, and she still sounds like a little girl, shes needs a singing coach and she will be great, shes just not ready.

Um yeah, Marcus is going home.

Oh stop it Nicole! She’s so annoying.

omg are you serious, marcus has been sososo lucky. that’s good because i love him.

NICOLE YOU MAD?

I am sooo disappointed right now!

My two favorites were in the bottom. All I have to say is g’night folks. Not happy with that result…my heart is broken. As much as I love Marcus, Rachel sang that song better than…

What can I say…

I am so disappointed!!! You know Rachel sang so much better than Marcus! Marcus has been in the bottom 3 X now. What does it take??
How many times does it take to see he needs to go home. I think Nicole needs to go home too!! How dare her not to vote the right way and do the heartfelt true honest thing……….

I don’t understand the point of the save me song. Rachel sang circles around Marcus and she ends up going home because Nicole didn’t have the cojones to send Marcus home. I don’t hate Marcus but people, he so is not worth a five million dollar contract. It’s going to be okay though because Rachel is going to be snatched up by Disney and will be worth twice that amount.

Nicole is weak… Whats the point of judging and being honest.. What a way to not commit… The only reason she picked Marcus is because he is a guy… Rachel has sung better then him the whole time he has been I’n the bottom two three x I’n a row … Way to go Nicole . Your just jealous that Rachel is more likable and more talented then you

they shld hire another judge and scape the mentor thingy for season 2. i really think it’s because of the simon-nicole rivalry that got rachel sent home. really not happy with the decision tbh.

I vote to send Nicole home, she’s a real b – - – -!!!! Was her vote just to hurt Simon? Rachel deserved to stay!!

NICOLE AND LA SHOULD HAVE TO GO HOME.

Nicole u failed us again Marcus should have went home a long time ago when he went up against Stacy Francis I’m so disappointed with you

I hate NICOLE!!!! They need to BURN/FIRE her ass already!! she’s caused alot of previous good contestants their career. She has poor song choices not to mention,JUDGEMENT! she SUCKS!!!

Ok, how can Nicole vote to keep Marcus, after three weeks in bottom youd think they would get it american doesn’t want him. LA Reid’s comment about hearing rumors that Hollywood has been coming around Rachel was so disgusting it makes me sick. However, she is very talented and will be ok, but have lost all respect for LA & Nicole.

what the hell nicole needs to rethink her position as a judge she clearly made a big mistake Rachel Crow should not have gone home.Why be a judge if you dont have what it takes to give a honest decision ,it was and has been obvious throughout the show that rachel is a much better singer than marcus.The girl has a wonderful voice not to mention a great personality.

let’s wait for the news that there’s a technical glitch and that they counted the votes wrongly

No, the judges did not get it right. Judges must be strong enough to keep the act with the stronger performance; they must be strong enough to make a decision. I am appalled that Nicole dissolved and abdicated her role as a judge. Rachel and Marcus were both excellent, but rachel’s performance was exceptional.

Omg, really Nicole!!!!!! Rachel so out sang marcus and she was fantastic. The sing off is exactly what it was designed for, who gave the best performance and it was Rachel. Geez Nicole can’t you even judge the person who sang the best tonight. Even the audience was disqusted just like I am sitting her now typing this. Nicole you blew it not Rachel.

Nicole you should be ashamed of yourself. Rachel’s performance was GREAT. From what I’m reading I can see I am not the only one who feels this way. What were you thinking? I understand, you WERE NOT THINKING!!!!!!! No offense to Simon but I PRAY that he NEVER BRINGS YOU ON THIS OR ANY OTHER SHOW AGAIN!!!!!.

Lilly, Nikidale and all the other voters out here now know you are a GUTLESS HUMAN BEING!!!! I will NEVER purchase anything you put out there EVER. You are a shameful, gutless person that Simon trusted to make good judgement calls and you did not…. No offense towards Marcus however, RACHEL CROW put out the best performance tonight to save herself and she did. You had to send it to a deadlock because you couldn’t make the call you know you should have. Why did you keep looking at L.A????? I understand why he made the choice he did, but you, you have disgraced yourself and your ability to be a judge on any show. That girl has such an amazing voice and you know it only you know why you did what you did. Lace of courage or complete deafness, however I think you lack the courage to make the decision you know you should have. I have never said this before but I wish you feel the same sad feelings Rachel is feeling right now. Rachel’s feelings are not just about you basically voting her off, it’s all the work she put into this show and just as Simon went and brought Melanie back you should have the backbone to admit your mistake.

But you won’t, you don’t have the courage Simon does.

SHAME ON YOU. You have to answer to yourself and God and the fans you use to have.

Its all fixed. Everything is about ratings. The more drama the better the ratings.

Didn’t catch a few words I that wasn’t spelled right just pissed off right now.

First off everyone should settle down because as much as we all hate to admit it, the votes were our collective answer. Ultimately the votes got Rachel in the bottom in the first place. If people truly supported her enough, she wouldn’t have even had to have sung her Save Me song. I loved Rachel and honestly thought she could have won, but votes have come to prove otherwise. Yes, Nicole should have voted, but she didn’t so as to have America choose. Maybe it was for the best because the judges aren’t going to be the only ones buying albums and attending concerts. Just because you like Rachel doesn’t mean everyone else does and it doesn’t mean the world is over. There is still plenty of talent left on the show and hopefully you all suck it up and go out and vote honestly the following weeks. If you can’t handle a televised contest without having the urgency to go online and hide behind a computer to try and defame anyone blaming them for the simple fact that a contestant did not get enough votes, then you probably should watch Teletubbies.

Simon hired Nicole, Simon can fire Nicole….bye chick you are a worthless judge!

This is my first time on this chat, but I really felt everyone’s comments. I agree to the fullest, I mean my three daughters and I were crying with Rachael. Nicole did Rachael dirty and if she can’t be a judge instead of being a coward then she needs to go. Well I guess it’s really to late for that now. But Simon should really think hard about bringing her back next season. Nicole owes Rachael Crow BIG TIME!!!!!

dear Judges..you must listen to these people..Was not Rachel the best that have you’ve heard!!!! My goodness!!! Okay was this just staged cuz we all know that this was not right!!!!! My family is not going to even watch the show anymore due to this..OKay guy’s come on..get real!! Don’t push it off to..she’ll get a show elsewhere.. she is the BEST!!!!!! She deserves this and I think you know that!!

Nicole you let me down, even though u did deadlock u should have thought that there’s apossible chance rachel might have gotten lower votes. You did not think and the deadlock call for a great singer to go home. I think Simon will let you go for the next season. I saw him on Wendy Williams and he said you were dense so I see your career with X factor over after this season. Girl you got to have a backbone and if you down oh well. Your beauty has got you in the door and you let your brain get you kicked to the curb. People are angry for that and I guess you will be the one that feels the blow. Sorry girly your time is almost over.

Nicole’s crocodile tears make me sick. Did she even listen to the audience chanting “Rachel” in the background? What did LA say to her? Was it something like: Just let the voters decide? No matter what, it was Nicole’s job to judge. Sending the decision back to the viewers makes the “sing for your life” worthless. A “sing for your life” should never go back to the viewers. The second guest singer should perform while the judges get together off stage and make a decision like grownups. If they can’t break a tie, then a double elimination results the next week. Otherwise, there should not be a “sing for your life.” America didn’t decide who sung better in the “sing for your life” because we never voted for the “sing for your life” performances. Nicole really was voting against Simon, anyway, and Rachel took the loss. Rachel even told Nicole not to cry when Nicole was mopping up her fake tears with tissues. I wish people would stop saying Rachel and Disney in the same breath. Rachel showed more maturity and class in her journey through this joke of a show than the judges or contestants twice her age. If there is such a thing as karma, Nicole should watch out. Her future will be much more unhappy than Rachel’s was tonight. Don’t cry, Rachel. You never really lost tonight, and Marcus will be shaking his fist, doubling up, and grimacing again next week.

Nicole is only interested in how she looks on camera, and over-dramatizing her ridiculous comments. She has no business being a judge and needs to go. This show will die quickly if she remains in the mix. Rachel and Melanie should be in the finals. The others aren’t even close to their talent.

Nicole is a waste she gets paid to judge off of the best performance to save the better singer from Americas votes. If America had to vote off of tonights performance Marcus was Def going home were he should have been sent weeks ago. La is also judging based on his team and not the performance which by tha rules shouldn’t be the case. Simon needs to have the crowed vote in dead lock situations that way the performance for survival gets voted on. That’s what a sing for your life song should be voted on is who performed better we all know who did better and she is going home. Thanks to stupid judges who say they are great judges of talent but vote not for who done better but who they need to stay in the competion. La is a dumb a$$ all he did was vote for himself. And nicole doesn’t belong in this show she has no class or clue of what is going on. Look at her song choices for her singer they are horrible. Simon can her ass and las ass they are destroying your reputation and the show. The finals are gonna be garbage and your ratings will suffer.

Chicken s–t Nicole has not enough virtue to vote!! Nicole totally knew that Marcus was totally outperformed by Rachel. Fire her Simon ! Please
boycott Nicole!!!!!

Honestly marcus voice is annoying rachel should have made it thru the bottom 2 should have been marcus and chris..but my girl melanie is going to win

Nicole had no guts. She could have saved Rachel, because she was great. Her first time in the bottom and out. WHAT! Marcus should have gone home. He would have taken the news better. America does not like him. He keeps getting low votes!

U guys all suck and stop crying like born babies. last week u guys blame Paula and Nicole for nt sending the vote to a deadlucked now nicole send them on deadlucked u knw say the judge are worthless.

Nicole is a f ‘ing bitch. She is nothing but a drama queen and not a very good one.

I truly think they should of voted by who sang their heart out, after all thats what Nichole asked for them to do, so whether marcus had been there before , every show is a new chance, but It just wasnt fair that Rachel sang her heart out, and really did a better job than Marcus , So how is it that Nichole could not give the rightful decision from her heart! What they need to do is start being fair and really allow the people who deserve to be there be there! It seems they favor marcus so much but it starting to get a little silly that he still there. Now if he still remains there next week you know this show is fixed! Theres no way in hell Marcus is better than the others!!! “Nichole” You talk soooo much on how you know what it is to be there, well how would you feel if you were Rachel!!!

whew THANK GOD! I was sort of afraid that America will make Rachel win JUST because she’s bubbly and cute.. let’s be honest here she’s not that bad BUT she’s not as good of a singer compared to Josh or Melanie and neither is she as much of a genius as Chris.

Nicole makes me sick. If she can’t make a decision she has no business being a judge. She needs to go.

Plain and simple……I would rather watch CSI than Xfactor from here on. At least I know from the beginning it is not a real show. Xfactor is rigged and fake. The judges don’t judge. The bottome two can have the same person through the entire show and still turn out as the winner, so America really has no say in it and the so-called “save” song means nothing.

that was the best performance on this show dis season from rachel…WOW

Even more proof this show is a complete train wreck. First Drew, now Rachel, and it’s all because of those two idiot judges in the middle, keeping and encouraging people to vote for Marcus each and every week. Look what happens, 3 great singers go down to mediocre cant sing a note on pitch Marcus, LeRoy, Drew, and Rachel. At least judges have no say next week.

Marcus

so damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nicole is fool…. really fool….
if you want to know…even rachel is a little girl.. but she has a beautiful voices you know nicole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has a big talented

or in malay…
AWAK NI BODOH SEBAB TAK PANDAI PILIH(you too stupid because you not pick a right choice

I already spotted this last week, I already knew Nicole and Paula couldnt make a proper decision. Paula had some brains tonight, and Nicole was like she usually is, brainless. They first sent home Drew, and now Rachel. If the judges can make a decision next week then I bet Marcus will make it to the finale..

This is the most worthless show I have ever seen. You have judges that are more interested in fighting amongst themselves than in actually “judging” the singers. GROW UP!!! You aren’t there to show that you have more “clout”or that you are better than any of the other judges. You are there to help start careers that can last a lifetime and all you are doing is destroying those same lives and careers.

Why haven’t we seen growth in the contestants since the tryouts? Why? Because, you are more interested in personal vendettas than in actually giving these contestants the guidance they need. These people put all their faith, heart and sole into this “chance of a lifetime” and got nothing from you! You have forgotten, or maybe you never knew, that what you do and say affects more than yourselves. The snide little comments that you make to and about each other shows less maturity than 5 year olds and, unfortunately, the public listens to you.

You should be ashamed of yourselves, putting your selfish feelings ahead of what these contestants needed from you. You, know….little things like……HONESTY and GUIDANCE!!!! What is wrong with all of you? Can you not see how you have destroyed the show. You will be lucky if America even wants to watch the rest of this season, much less a second season! Stop fighting and start listening. America does not want or need to see how adults can show less maturity than the 12 year old contestants that are under more pressure than you will ever know.

Get it together, XFactor! America is sick and tired of your BS!!! I hope that the contestants realyze that they should not give up when they thrown off the show. This was only a stepping stone — even though the stone was not sturdy — and I admire you for not turning around picking up that stone and throwing in the judges faces.

Good Luck to those of you who were lucky enough to get voted off the show and now have a chance to REALLY shine!!! God Bless You!

Just for the record, remember when they were all at the judges homes and Tiger Budbill sang that beautiful song and even Enrique Iglesias was wowed, and that “i love myself” Nicole sent him home and kept DEXTER to go through to the live performances???!!! That’s when it all started for me. If she would focus on what she is suppose to and stop waiting for her ” i know you want me bad” close up for the camera maybe the right people would still be there. I started out liking her but it ended right there. She is so shallow and so into her, not the singers trying so hard every week. She really has to go!

Marcus should of went home long time ago. I thought this show was different from American Idol. I thought the judges would discern the true talent and make the deciding decision. Why even vote if it is not going to be considered? Maybe they should have a secret ballot so judges can truly do what they were suppose to. I am so disappointed now Rachel should of stayed. They need another judge also so a deadlock doesn’t happen.

That was the most terrible act by an absolute coward!!!
Nicole is the most gutless person around!!! You can call Simon very many things (& I do) but “gutless” is not one.
On tonights “sing off” Marcus was good but Rachel “blew out of the theatre; incredible” and Nicole knew that & knows that but of course the “gutless & self centered” person just plain BLEW IT!!

No matter what Nicole did, she would have been booed by somebody because there was support for both these singers. I believe these people that were sent home need to learn to accept rejection because falling apart is not the way to becoming a winner. Rachel is up there telling Nicole it is ok and then when she is booted off , she suddenly can’t handle being the loser. She definitely should have won over Marcus but she did not handle losing as well as I thought she would. She tried to give this air of maturity but in reality she is a kid and responded as a kid. Nicole had a tough decision to make and she had the right to call it as she wanted to and she cannot help that America voted more for Marcus…

I think that Nicole should go home, permanantly. Nicole is gutless and childish, she knew that Rachel is the best singer there, but she didn’t want to show Marcus or LA Reid that she thought Rachel was better, so instead of acting like a mature adult, she deadlocks the vote and leaves it up to the audience to decide, costing the better singer the chance to win and letting the guy who has been in the bottom two, three weeks in a row now stay. Obviously people see he is not by any means a good singer, his voice is horrible. Last week we lost Drew who was a great singer and now Rachel.

X Factor, I am telling you now, if Nicole is back next season, I for one will not be watching your show anymore. She is a terrible judge, a horrible mentor and a big baby. When Simon says something bad about one of her people, she then turns around and says something bad about his people, just to get even, even though they were good. Very, very immature Nicole.

Nicole is hella stupid for that… Marcus should have went home…

To see Rachel break down that just broke my heart , I can’t believe that Nicole send her home she nailed it tonight don’t get me wrong Marcus was good but Rachel nailed that song tonight , she was amazing everyone knows that , this is not the end for you rachel this is the beginning you got a voice and the talent that is going to take you a long way ..i know will be seeing more of you keep your head up !!

You are absolutely correct. She is a child; one that is extremely talented and tonight she KILLED it. She beat the snot out of Marcus and Nicole is a gutless wonder. She should have done the right thing…rather she chose to be a coward! Simon, you need to get rid of her…have people on your show that can make a decision and either have 3 people or 5…deadlock is stupid. Judges are there as professionals (supposedly), so they should be able to make these decisions and base those decisions on the performance right in front of them…tonight Rachel was the clear winner…but she went down to someone that was in the bottom 3 times in a row…wasn’t the chanting by the crowd an obvious sign of who the winner was tonight? Geez Nicole, WAKE UP!

I used to believe in this show, but I can see that the outcome is not based on talent. The judges are all self motivated and do not judge based on merit. Nicole Sucks! Rachel is the best!!!

I THINK THAT THE JUDGES SHOULD NOT MAKE THE FINAL DECISION LET AMERICA DECIDE. MAYBE NEXT YEAR THEY SHOULD NOT ALLOW KIDS IN THIS COMPETITION AND THEN WE CAN PREVENT ALL THE TEMPER TANTRUMS AND OUTBURSTS ON STAGE.

Nicole needs balls and some talent to back her up! She has neither and sadly needs to leave! You’re show is only as lame as it’s Lamest judge! Not saying much since Paula is still around! Do America a favor and get rid of the Lame scared of hurting feelings dumbasses, and get some Judges with talent, that actually want to make a talent show that actually has Judges that stand for something! Nicoles actions tonight were apallingly Lame, she looked like a scared dumbass, unable to even make a sentence! Until you get some judges with talent and a backbone, your show will be a Joke! Fix it

One more thought for tonight: We the viewers vote for who we like
and do our best to keep our favourite singer alive for the next round.
Can we agre on these statement. Yes, then if the show is giving us
the right to choose the winner, then would you agree that having
a “Save Me Song” cancels that right and will now alter the results,
of which is causing great constipation to most you right now?

way to go Nichole. If you can’t be a judge, then step down! when someone is in the bottom 2 three weeks in a row and gets completely out sung, let him go “mr. man of principal”. All I can say is that if I was Astro’s mother, I would NOT let my son have “private time” with L.A. he was creepy and acted obsessed with the little punk. As for Marcus, he is sweet and I hate to see him go, but it is time. He will make an album and do well.

Nichole is paid to jude talent??? What was she thinking folding under pressure on who to pick. She does’nt do that in front of a sell out crowd when she sings …weak! Week! Shame on,you nichole.

A blind,deaf, mute could have seen that Rachel was WAY better than marcus tonight. so what the hell was Nicoles problem? How many damn times do you have to be in the bottom 2 to be voted off this damn show!!?? i stopped watching american idol for shit like this, now I will no longer be watching xfactor, Simon i hope you make some changes! after all this is YOUR show!

Rachel is only 13 years old but the fact is she sing better than Marcus…
I can not undertand which game is this…
This was really a wrong decision.

PLEASE!!! someone send Nicole home or I’m done with this show!!!

i hate nicole better she gone this week

I agree with Taymaro! I thought the judges were voting for the “best” singer!! Not their favorite…………… how disappointing………….
