They were soooo cute. Props to the boys for learning basically 2 new songs. Anyone else enjoy how John pronounced a "broadway legend's" name wrong... haha!
Oh Katie Please don't go-o You're the one girl in town I TIVO. =)
gush gush gush, that performance was just... perfect. JRS is so funny, bringing the huge headshot of Katie in front of them while they were singing... he's too funny. I love how the songs let all the guys sing solos, showcased their voices too, and John was just smashing during Bye Bye Katie.
They did a great job. To get up this early, perform to "new" songs and then to have to do two shows today. Great job and loved the number with Harvey!!!

well, the "what an egomaniac" police are really gonna be after my ass for this, but here are the lyrics (and I think they and the clip are on The Today Show website, which doesn't work for Mac's, so screw 'em!):

Cute, It would have also worked well with the cast of Hairspray. Not, to take away the glory from the BOYS. But, it could have been cute sung to Good Morning Baltimore.
