"One against Marcus." "One against Leroy." "It's one apiece." "Paula Abdul, what's the name of the artist you're sending home this evening?" "Well, it's not that quick, Steve." "Marcus, you know that you're one of my favorites." "You know that you have the ability to be a massive star." "You didn't deliver as much on the save me song as Leroy did." "Leroy, on the other hand, you did sing for your life." "I think that both of you are going to go on and have major record deals and sell lots of albums." "Need an answer, Paula." "Hate to do it." "I'm getting screamed at." "I hate to do this." "I'm going to have to, based on the save me song, someone who really sang for their lives, I'm going to have to send home Marcus." "Two against Marcus, one against Leroy." "Simon, if you send home Marcus, he goes home." "If you send home Leroy bell, we go to deadlock." "Simon, what is the name of the act you're sending home, please?" "I like them both." "You know, I think in the competition, Marcus, I think you're nudging ahead of Leroy." "Um, but, Leroy, you did sing better tonight." "I'm going " " I'm going to let the public decide tonight." "I'm going to send home Leroy." "Which means we are in deadlock."

"Thank you." "What I would like to show my kids and my grandkids is you never give up." "It's like I've been waiting for this my entire life." "You represent what this competition is all about." "Being on the red carpet was something you dream about when you're a kid, you know." "You're just great, is what you are." "You have a beautiful voice, and you deliver." "Nicole, what do you want to say about this man?" "I mean, he's amazing." "He's been lovely to work with, a hard worker." "I'm so proud of him." "And he represents so much." "And I'm sad to see him go, but I'm glad he had this opportunity." "And I have absolute faith this isn't the end for him." "I agree." "Leroy, Leroy, can I grab you for a moment final word, please." "Final word." "I'd like to thank everybody, my family who stood behind me, my mom, all the folks out there and everybody who supported me throughout this journey." "It's been great, fantastic."
