Collins when he is in his element.

Canty has done some good performances though, very underrated.

Collins. When Marcus Collins sings the right songs for his voice he can sound really good. Marcus Canty just sounds like budget Chris Brown all the time... and Chris Brown is crap anyway.

The US version of Misha B. Survived bottom 3 times. Judges love him. Public obviously don't. Will probably go home in the semi-final

They're both "black". That's enough for some.

He's nothing like our Marcus, or Chris Brown for that matter.

Anyway, Marcus Canty is far more talented than Marcus Collins. His voice actually nothing short of incredible and he's where he is now in the competition because people are voting for him and the public save him, not just the just judges.

watch marcus collins' first audition. he has quite a powerful voice!! canty, however, seems like bobby brown, usher and CB put into a blender. We don't have anyone like collins in the Uk music scene, put there are plenty of cantys. also in cantys first audition he showed the limitations of his voice, pushing it at times. either way, collins destroys canty - oh and also has a killer smile and popularity. #YEAH

They're both called Marcus, in their early twenties, and appearing on different instances of the same show. That's more than sufficient grounds for comparison. Playing the race card in this instance is utterly absurd.

Canty's voice is strained and whiny, and he's frequently out of tune. Marcus Collins' voice is so vastly superior, it's like comparing a Ferrari with a Fiat Punto.

46 hours away from elimination?

Canty isn't great, but Collins is nonentity, so Canty.

Marcus Canty is more Bobby Brown than Chris Brown.

I'd say Marcus Collins has a better tone to his voice. The rich quality which shows through when he uses vibrato on a sustained note. He catches the groove of a song better, but he's possibly less of an interpretative singer - I checked out some of his performances going back 5 years at YouTube and he hasn't changed a single thing in how he sings Signed, Sealed, Delivered, for example. He sings a song 'straight' and rarely vocalises around a lyric. He can bop about, has better than average performing skills, and is good looking. I'll score him 8 out of 10.

Marcus Canty (MarcUSA?) doesn't have the same tone, but is more of an old skool 'soul' singer, and has a better vocalising ability. His runs seem haphazard at first, but somehow he always manages to end them well enough. He's also a good looking diminutive guy, puts on a performance each week, and is a much better dancer, even sexy with it - I particularly liked that hip hop/Cossack dancing he did early on, 'Canty Pants' I called him. I'll score him 8.5 out of 10.

Canty is far too nasal for my liking

I don't care for either of the Marcus's. I don't know how they got so far. Well, I guess US Marcus got this far because Nicole has a crush on him or something.

At least the US Marcus probably won't make the final.

Collins,

I think Canty sings through his nose.

And Canty shrinks his hid in his shoulders when he sings. Has nobody noticed that?
Canty, you canty sing. LOL

I don't like Marcus Collins singing voice but I hate Marcus Cantys. I'd say Collins was the more talented of the two.

Marcus Canty has everything...he can sing in any genre with real emotion in his voice...he regularly brings people to tears...Marcus Collins is a Little Richard i.e. he's a little bit like Little Richard, but a lot like Cliff Richard...
