Survivor Marcus Canty (Team L.A. Reid) failed to impress with a colorful, cheesy performance of “Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka Khan during a night with two rounds of performances (“club hit” and “save me” rounds) at the “The X-Factor” Top 5 live show on Wednesday (December 7)- watch video below.

Why is Marcus still in this competition? That performance was tacky, awful and he sounded like an agonizing sheep, which just proved once again Marcus is no Usher no matter how hard he wants to be. Nicole Scherzinger’s verbatim: “You have earned your spot here!”

Paula Abdul though he just looked good. Man candy. What else? Simon Cowell wanted to be fair and said that was a good performance. Simon doesn’t like people who play victim and was glad Marcus proved his point on that stage. Mentor L.A. Reid just begged people to vote for his pupil.
