Marcus Canty (born January 22, 1991) is an American R&B and soul singer and dancer.
His first public performance was at the world-famous Apollo Theater in New York where he won second place against adult and youth contenders.
Realizing that he wouldn't be 6'6" tall, singing became his obvious choice, and he is now pursuing his dreams.
His musical influences include Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Donny Hathaway, Boyz II Men, Mary J. Blige, Monica, Bobby Brown, and Whitney Houston.
This meant Scherzinger sent the result to deadlock and Canty advanced to the semi-final after receiving more votes than Crow.
[1] On March 7, 2012, Canty released his first single "Won't Make a Fool Out of You", which was featured in the 2012 film Think Like a Man, an adaptation of Steve Harvey's book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.
