Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:44 pm     He sure is smiling though. (Ruben) |
Hippyt | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:44 pm     I was so excited to see this too. I guess they are both just nervous,maybe worn out.Simon looks like he wants to barf. |
Spygirl | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:45 pm     Oh...man...that was just...not good. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:45 pm     The audience and the judges seem to be enjoying it. Linking hands in the air and swaying. Oh, that one shot of Simon, he looked bored. Let's see what they say... |
Yuhuru | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:45 pm     Last year they only sang 2 songs |
Halfunit | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:45 pm     BWAH HAH HAH Tabby |
Twinkie | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:45 pm     Geez, he gets a whole freakin' choir! And I still wasn't that impressed. I don't know what in the world the judges heard. |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:45 pm     ooooops, sorry Tabby. oh well. Randy and Paula standing O. Simon looked grim when they cut to him at one point but says it was fantastic. huh! |
Tabbyking | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:45 pm     simon always looks like he wants to barf |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Spy.. like a giant human pitchpipe?? Tabby.. even Simon wouldn't make them sing a song about pulling wings off a fly, would he?? |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Randy and Paula give him a standing O. Simon says you obviously saved the best for last. Over to you Clay. That was fantastic. |
Crossfire | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:46 pm     It kind of sucked for me in that the camera was not on Ruben during the high point of the song. |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:46 pm     Clay, Bridge over Troubled Water. |
Resortgirl | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:46 pm     This is where you all are!! My only comment is to Simon: Figure out HOW to market Clay! |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:47 pm     Clay- Bridge over troubled water |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:47 pm     Gospel Choir starts out the song. |
Hippyt | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:47 pm     Good Gravy,why would he do this song? You cannot improve on the original Bridge over Troubled Water. AND a church choir on it???? Accccckkkk,now I want to barf. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:47 pm     This should be a good song for Clay.. |
Hermione69 | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:48 pm     I do not like the backup singers for either performance. |
Hotlantan | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:48 pm     The choir stays for Clay. Hard to mess up "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and Clay is playing it as safe as possible. |
Spygirl | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:48 pm     Sea - exactly - I'm now wishing I had Ruben's performances on tape...I think those vocals have served as a big pitchpipe all this time! |
Yuhuru | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:48 pm     I think they are both doing really great. This is a much better final than last yeat imo. I'm enjoying it. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:48 pm     Uh oh.. a choir?? on Bridge? Yikes! |
Crazydog | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:48 pm     Clay is singing "Bridge over Troubled Water" with maybe like 50 gospel singers backing him up. WTF, they are drowning him out?! And while I thought the second song was too high-pitched, I think this one is being sung too low for his voice. Not impressed at all. |
Tess | Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - 05:48 pm     Never thought of this as a gospel song before. Hmmmmm. |
