maybe Screamtasia has the hots for mantasia and is looking for baby #3

>>Joshua is going pretty good, too. <<

I agree — jokes aside he was the best tonight so far. Really in his wheelhouse.

[peggybac]

I think he prefers the boys blowing in the horns.

Joshua Ledet

He sings “Runaway Baby” by Bruno Mars. WOW! This is great!

Standing-o from the judges.

Steven: You can sell a song like a work of art.

J-Lo: So dynamic. So much energy. You're the umph!

Randy: Unbelievable performance. You've got the vocals, you've got the performance. I he really gotsta have it!

Seacrest invites Joshua's preacher dad to hug his son on stage. "Come on up and hug your boy!"

"That's racist, Ryan!"

Sheesh, they should have rehearsed this walk-up. Dad is taking scenic route. Finally, they embrace. Cheers and applause.

Joshua pats his dad's belly, lol

In case anyone is interested, here is Bruno Mars doing that same song at the Grammy’s. He was awesome.

You realize you are not going to heaven for that comment.

And you owe me a screen-cleaning!

I like Joshua and Skylar so far tonight.

Sorry, I can’t agree. They are singing the same song apart at the same time.

JMHO

[Mark was here]

I wonder if they are dating?

[peggybac]

She’ll outshine Taylor Swift in a few years - finally. Taylor is sweet enough but I HATE her voice. Skylar can belt it out and actually carry a tune.

[kjam22]

THis song did not work nearly as well for Colton as it did for Skylar...

[freedumb2003]

OOpppss — I should read for content.

I thought you meant this song since it was Skylar.

Next time say “Mantasia” so I’ll get the right person

:)

Duet Deaux

Skylar and Colton are again paired-up (no, they're not dating, they both stress). They sing the Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson song "Don’t You Wanna Stay”. It doesn't sound as good as the original, but not bad. Skylar can't quite hit the same notes that Kelly Clarkson can. But she sure tries.

Steven: You just made love singing to each other so it don't make much difference now anyway. So gorgeous.

J-Lo: We had the pleasure of seeing Kelly and Jason singing this last year and it's not easy. (faint praise)

Randy: I love you both dearly, but that was just okay for me. A little pitchy. Some of the notes are a little sharp here and there.

J-Lo concurs.

[Netizen]

I think you are thinking of Colton and Skylar the duet. I was talking about Joshua and Skykar as individuals.

[MagUSNRET]

Taylor Swift is a song WRITER...whomever told her she was also a singer.....LIED!

[silent_jonny]

A watching potty.

Indeed I was *doh*

Post, read then think — the AI thread way...

Holly’s parents are so cute.

[peggybac]

AGREE.
