Seamonkey, I bought Eva Cassidy's CD after seeing Michelle Kwan skate to Fields of Gold...that CD also contains "Over the Rainbow" (the one that Tamyra slaughtered, IMHO)

Iz's version of Rainbow makes me cry because I associate it with Dr. Greene's death in ER.
(I know, I need to get a life...)

Heard it. Quite amazing that Paula is still bad mouthing Clay for forgetting the lines, isn't it?

<Clears throat.. hmhm hmhm>

Oh HOBBSSSSSSSSSSS!

I would like to point out the following:


Quote:

Kelly was on the CBS morning show and sang two songs from her album, etc. Anyway, she was asked who she thought should win and she said she's been a Ruben fan, but was impressed by Clay's handling of a last minute lyric change on Vincent and she had to be rooting for both of them.




I will be accepting flowers, and wine for an apology offering... :)

Heh, the last minute change in the lyrics that is being pointed out, is the change clay made.

Maybe she was impressed that he did not collapse and lose it in front of a crowd which certainly could happen in such a situation.

Crossfire - the lyrics were changed by the producers 25 minutes prior to the show... Where did you hear that?

Well, I am being somewhat insincere in referring what some call his forgetting of the words as a change of the words. His after all was the 'lastest' minute change.

Don't take me too seriously, I am smirking a bit as I type these. :)

Funny funny funny Cross!!! I think all this SARS stuff has finally gone to our heads! <Did you hear they're having some sort of end of SARS party this weekend downtown?>

No kidding eh? Glad it is coming to an end but there's a party I'd want nothing to do with. Can you imagine if say two weeks from now headlines identify it as a new source of transmission?

OK, I am spoiling things here. I'lll pipe down again. :)

<slinking into the room on my knees>

Hi Deej. I'm terribly sorry. I never doubted you. I doubted the person on the other board that said it. I love conspiracies! I just couldn't see the producers as being so blatently stupid as that. I guess they thought if they said something on TV, millions of people would have been demanding a redo. They probably told Clay that they would give him a big contract even if he didn't win if he didn't cause a stink. I actually think Clay is too nice a guy to cause a stink. But if this thing end up a tie next week....

Anyway, here ya go Deej.12345678

It seems everywhere I go on this board, I get into trouble. I don't get it. Please warn me if you see Rabbit coming. (S)he wants to give me a mohawk and put a puffball on my tail! The flowers were to keep Deej from joining in.

Twinkie, that was hilarious! I laughed all through it. Meme, thanks for the help. He said he was a buck, but around here sometimes it's hard to tell. I hope that's not trimmers I hear in the background.

I am curious, don't know if anyone knows, but I'll ask anyway.

Does anyone know the nature of the error he made? Did he miss a complete passage, or substitute a word, double up on something? And the part he muffed up, was it that bit that was changed prior to him singing it?

It doesn't matter much, but I was just curious. For what it's worth, I did not even know he messed up during the song.

I do agree that it was a bit cheeky of them to mention it if no one would have otherwise noticed had they not said as much, especially when it was messed with just prior to him singing it.

Cross, Check out Dj's post at 8:18am and 6:42 in the thread. I think there is another one somewhere but I'm not sure. Anyway, I think she was the one with the scoop.

Cross, he did a really good job covering it up. I didn't notice it until it was pointed out and then I saw it again. It was the part of the song when he stopped singing and looked out into the audience. It almost looked like it was supposed to be an intrumental break in the song!

Didn't they have the words on the teleprompter for the contestants last year? I seem to remember some slight comment about it on the show.

i know the song well, both the original don mclean version and the newer josh groban version. he sang it in a slightly different order than it was written, but i've noticed that they do that a lot to condense the songs. seems odd, however, that they'd do that in a show with so much filler. my first reaction is that he flubbed the words. if the producers wanted to "stretch out the show", it seems they wouldn't change the lyrics from what he's practiced all week, but throw in more worthless ryan-banter. i love clay, but i think he biffed on that one.

also...i loved justin last year, but his unchained melody was PAINFUL....

and i thought maybe the 'missed words' in vincent were 'and now i understand' just before 'what you tried to say to me'! i thought the pause was a pause. it's hard to tell when they chop these songs up.

I agree. Geez … it wasn't like he sat up there for 2 minutes looking stupid not singing anything. He may have paused for about 5 seconds before continuing. As people are saying, if Paula hadn't made a point of it (which she is still doing), most people wouldn't have even noticed there was a problem.

Crossfire - I just rewatched my tape. He forgot "now I understand" at the beginning of the first chorus...he just sang "what you tried to saaaaaaaaaaaaay to me" (holding "say" out to catch up to the melody). I think the pause before the next verse was part of the arrangement, but I could be wrong of course LOL.

I did notice this missed phrase right away because I use to listen to this song all the time.
