He sings Matchbox Twenty's "Bright Lights". Excellent! He should win this. Clark tries too hard for the same sound that comes naturally to Nick.
Sustained applause.
Jlo : Simon Fuller was probably thinking of someone like you. Someone who has the look, who has the presence. We've seen you grow into that.
Harry : This would be a perfect opportunity to (start voting) You guys have to vote. Good job!
Keith : I can relate to you, Nick.
Seacrest asks Jennifer who won the first round.
Jlo: Can I say it was a tie?
Seacrest: You can but it would be a cop-out.
Harry begins to chant "You have to choose! You have to choose!" The audience picks up on it, mostly.
Jlo sticks with her cop-out. It's a tie.
Thinking Nick will get the “ smile vote” and that will be the difference.
PreferClark, but won’t be disappointed with a Nick win
