BYEBYE SCOTT! It's only 8:09, but im assuming it can only go up from there in this point in the show.

for me it was a little impossible to listen to... like scott, but love that song, and he didnt do it justice.

I can't believe it. He ruined one of my favorite songs, and Abdul gave him a compliment!

Didn't do it Justice? You're right, I can sing it so much better!

He was miserably bad. On the other hand, Nadia's "As Long As He Needs Me" was brilliant.

all he had to do was sing the last 3 words like stokes does (which i've ripped off for my own) and he woulda almost saved his ass, but now he barely deserves to live

If his little domestic violence problem did not do him in, his domestic violence against that song will seal his fate

I didn't see it, but I don't think he's a strong singer to begin with. Strong personality, but not vocally.

I think the fact that they had them do classical musical theatre songs is absurd. If they're looking for a pop star, and hate people who are "too Broadway," what would seeing them sing these songs do to help anyone decide who to vote for? The judges comments can't even be constructive, because this isn't even what they're looking for. I could see it making more sense if they used more contemporary shows, but come on. That's ridiculous.

ABSOLUTE CRAP.....I'll just leave Scott at that! As for the show, you would have thought it would have only gotten better from then on, but really the whole evening was mind numbingly painful, and unoriginal.

Bye!

Amen, Phantom05. Except for "As Long as..." the songs didn't even sound remotely like theater songs.

Mediocre jazz-y arrangements mixed with pitch problems, vowel-extending Whitney-Mariah flourishes or Michael Bolton-izing screeches, and a total lack of emotional investment made the entire evening depressing. A low point: "Climb Every Mountain." Even when the voice matched the type of song (Bice's "Piece of the Sky") the impact was neglible.

And the jerk said he never heard the song before...Is he serious?

To quote Molly Shannon: "Don't get me started...Don't EVEN get me started."

i really dont like how he changed that song.
and i also don't like how none of them sang the songs how they originally r...i mean isnt the whole point of singing diff. genres to show that they CAN sing different genres...but they are just singing every genre in the same pop style...

Awful awful awful...I generally like Anthony but his was the worst. I would hope the audience would have trouble voting for a man who beat his girlfriend, but the dazzling success of numerous rap stars doesn't reassure me.

I also thought to myself as the show went on that they probably didn't want to bounce Scott Savol considering that Judge Paula Abdul had a far more recent run-in with the law. But personallly, get rid of both of them. They are both awful.

Oh my was it ever bad!
I loved Constantine's though! I usually like Anthony too, but it wasnt very good last night either...
