Clay did a wonderful job on "Bridge Over Troubled Waters."

His arrangements tend to be a bit faster tempo than I like, but I guess everything moves more slowly for me these days, so maybe I just don't feel the need for speed. ;)

Clay gave the best overall performance tonight, imo. (Ruben reminds me of a policeman I used to work with; Clay reminds me of my nephew. They're both cuddly.)

Well, I am a Peter Allen fan, so I like "big finishes!" :-)

I hate it when Clay dresses like that, with his shirt OUT.....he went to see the GOVERNOR like that (even though OUR governor is a CREEP, it reflect poorly on him, IMO!)

I wonder who paces these arrangements? I halfway think that they brighten them up to keep the MTV-ers interested. OTOH, it shows their capabilities...

I think Clay learned quite a bit from last week. He sang Unchained Melody well, but not quite as well as he could have because he tried too hard to make every note, every phrase stand out, which resulted in it sounding over the top, forced, and made too few parts stand out, including an incredible high note he hit; it just blended into the whole, like a sentence where ev er y sy la ble is em pha sized.

He did Bridge much better. He let some parts glide, but smoothly, and that let the emphasized lines and cresendos really stand apart.

Reuben did well tonight, but he should not have left that song for last. He should have gotten that one out of the way early.

I think Clay takes it.

Love it ;)
