X FACTOR Judge L.A. Reid Promises Contestant New Bentley if Successful

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, X FACTOR judge L.A. Reid has promised one of the contestants a brand new Bentley if he successfully wins the singing competition.

“I haven't given a Bentley away in a long time,” Reid tells The Hollywood Reporter. “But I told Marcus’ mom, ‘If he wins, you get a Bentley.’

Reid went on to explain that when the economy was healthier, he would frequently give away a new car to deserving individuals.  “When I was in Atlanta and the cost of living was lower and I made more money, I would do this: if the producers made me a platinum album, I would buy them an expensive watch. If my artists made something phenomenal, I bought them all cars. I bought Dallas Austin a Range Rover, I bought both Usher and Toni Braxton Porsches. I put a movie theatre in [TLC’s] Chili's house. It was the 90s and the record industry was insane. There was so much money.”

This week's theme on THE X FACTOR is music from the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.  In addition, Fox has announced that British rap star Tinie Tempah will be performing her latest hit, 'Pass Out' on the results-show broadcast, this Thursday, December 1st.

Two more X Factor contestants will be eliminated. The remaining contestants are Melanie Amaro, Drew Ryniewicz, Rachel Crow, Astro, Marcus Canty, Chris Rene, and Josh Krajcik.
