snl, personally, I hated his Bridge Over Troubled Water. I thought it was way too over-the-top. Honestly, I don't like anyone's version but Art Garfunkel's. All of the beauty and sentiment was lost with Clay's big delivery, the addition of the choir, etc. I don't like Clay now, but back when he was on on Idol I did, and I do think he sang a lot of other songs beautifully. Just hated his "Bridge." Season 2 was fun, and I remember really liking the final three.
Locke, Aiken and Studdard all had their flaws, but it was great when the final contestants were actually able to really harmonize in a group number! Last night was a total freaking embarrassment. Only David A. stands out as singing well in the group parts to me, even though, overall, I think David Cook has more going for him.
