Remember last year, towards the end, many contestants seemed to have "throat problems" (understandable). However, this year it doesn't seem like such a big problem. Maybe they are now doing something to prevent it (like Trenyce/olive oil).

BTW, re Kim's performance last week..on the oprah show, they talked about the fact that Kim had a cold last week and actually was sent home to rest with some vitamin c on one of the rehearsal days

Tish - it's the Don MacClean song that starts out, "Starry starry night...."

I thought John Denver sang it.

Randy - not your best performance
Paula - not your best performance, lyrics forgotten, picked yourself up, finished brilliant
Simon - terrible, dreary performance

The judges don't like it. They said he forgot the words. I don't know because I've never heard this song.

Clay - Vincent (Don McLean - about VanGogh) I've never heard of it - ....-oh yes I have

Wearing a blue shirt, camel suit.

Sounds good - very "Clay" performance - very vulnerable all vocals, no "show", very clear and sharp. Great job as well. what a competition!:)

Randy - Interesting competition - kinda boring, not best performance, weakest one for me

Paula - hard, wasn't your best performance, you forgot the words, picked yourself up and finished with dignity

Simon - forgot the words, dreary, terrible

I will agree that it wasn't his best performance (I'm really trying to be impartial... I swear :) )

I thought Clay forgot the words and he did. Paula and Simon kept harping on that fact. The judges HATED it! Uhoh!

Hey I'm not a Clay fan but forgetting words isn't so bad! It won ella Fitzgerald a grammy for her "mack the Knife"!

I wonder if Josh were still there and had to sing "vincent"....would he make a motion like he was cutting off his ear?

I didn't know it was the name of that song either. Lol, I don't think I ever listend to anything but the chorus.

A learning experience, again.

Essence - I've heard the song, but not enough to know if he forgot the words - I really don't think that it's really going to matter since most of the audience wouldn't know either!

Out of that round - I would actually give it to Kim, she knocked it out of the park for sure!

Not his best showing... that being said... it was still nice... it's kind of a dreary song to begin with... so the fact that they hated it doesn't shock me. Why would they puta song like that in the hat??? Anyone who sang it would sound pretty depressing!

My sister says that if I'd heard Josh Groban sing Vincent, I'd know how terrible that version was

I dearly love Clay but I have to agree with the judges that it was not great. But then again he never would have chosen to sing that song. Terrible random pick for Clay. I'm sure that's why he forgot some of the words.

LOL Gramma Babyruth....

I know the song, but I swear John Denver did it originally - did he remake it?

poor clay..he is the only one whose random pick was a song he didn't like himself! Makes it hard to sing and memorize the words I guess...and to go last must have been nervewracking too. And I am not just looking for excuses for Clay since I am a Ruben fan first, then Kim , then Clay.

I thought the song Vincent was Starry, Starry Night all these years. I love CLAY, but this was very dreary to me.

You're doing good Djgirl thumbs. I was a little concerned at first, knowing how much you like Clay and all .

Forgetting the words won't doom him if Clay really brings it the next two songs.I remember when RJ silently stood there like a deer caught in headlights during "Big Band" week, and they still kicked Christina off! But Clay is definitely fighting a more uphill battle now.
