Marcus Canty (Team L.A. Reid) performed “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” during a very special Michael Jackson tribute night at the “The X-Factor” Top 7 live show on Wednesday (November 30)- watch video below.

Although Marcus was determined to be the best singer and performer he can be, he failed to make a comeback. In fact, this was probably Marcus’ most disastrous performance. That was not good. Marcus was out of breath, proving it’s not easy to sing and dance at the same time. Marcus did a back flip – Nicole Scherzinger went crazy, while MJ’s kids continued to look bored out of their minds.

Nicole’s verbatim: “You’re the whole package, PYT!” Paula Abdul declared Marcus is the entertainer of this show. Simon Cowell pointed out the vocals weren’t really good. L.A. Reid loved the inventive arrangement of the song, hoping back flips will earn him some votes. Next week, Marcus will need to do a mortal to stay in the competition… if he survives this double elimination week! Doubt it.
