Tonight was tough for fans of InTENsity, the group that Paula Abdul mentored, was eliminated.

After Steve Jones announced that InTENsity and The Stereo Hogzz received the fewest votes, judges Simon Cowell, Abdul, L.A. Reid and Nicole Scherzinger asked the two finalists to perform their “song for survival” and then eliminated InTENsity. In addition, Outasight sang his latest hit “Tonight Is The Night,” which is featured in the current Pepsi campaign.

Next week, the Top 11 Finalists, including Girls – Melanie Amaro, Rachel Crow and Drew; Boys – Astro, Marcus Canty and Chris Rene; Over 30s – LeRoy Bell, Stacy Francis and Josh Krajcik; and Groups – Lakoda Rayne and The Stereo Hogzz will continue to battle it out for America’s votes, the X Factor title, a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music and an iconic Pepsi commercial. Don’t miss the Top 11 Finalists perform LIVE Wednesday, Nov. 9 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
