Babyface group up next; David Leathers, Kevin Quinn, Sanni M'Mairura and angelic-voiced Kayden Stephenson singing "For The Longest Time." Stephenson forgets his words, and even though it's an enjoyable performance overall, he along with Quinn are cut. M'Mairura's one of my favorites, glad to see him moving on.

Group day for the guys ends with Brooklyn's Frankie Ford — who said he sings on the subway to try and make money — and Papa Peachez' group, which seems to have had a lot of drama.

It's disjointed and a bit odd. Minaj asks them to raise their hand if "you thought it was bad," and they all slowly raise their hands. She tells Ford "you fell apart for me today .?.?. and it's crazy because I love you so much." Peachez tells her the group was "a hot mess."

It's sad, Ford definitely had the vocal abilities, but just had an emotional meltdown. His group mates try to talk to him afterward, but he doesn't want to talk to them; walks away from them sobbing. Winds up telling the camera, "I'm coming back next year and I'm going to win."

And then goes off alone into the night.
