For those of you who were worried that a thug might win American Idol, tonight's performance put those fears to rest.
- In short, Scott sucked. (And how sick are we of Paula? Is she freaking deaf or what?)
- Meanwhile, Constantine kicked it up a notch with the best performance of My Funny Valentine EVER! And right on the heels of his stunning rendition two weeks ago of the Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You."
- Carrie and Vonzell were extremely boring. (Don't they do musicals in high schools anymore? Why are these kids so clueless about the concept? And meanwhile, poor Mikayla is the musical queen and she got voted off last week.)
- Anthony Federov was, as Simon so succinctly put it, "Horrible."
- People, how many times do I have to tell you, it's all about song selection? Nikko chose the most obscure song from West Side Story which is actually a duet! Couldn't someone have told him that duet means for TWO!!!
- Anwar, as Randy said, "Welcome Back!" Anwar is really good, but he's got to move past the Stevie Wonder impression.
- Bo, Bo, Bo! Okay, we get that musical theater is below your great rocker-ness, but c'mon, you've got to try. Just a little. Bo lost a lot of ground to Constantine this week.
- Nadia is back as well. She has a gorgeous voice. She's entertaining to watch. And she's got more class than everyone else combined. We hope she can hang in there long enough to really prove herself.
The biggest loser of the night: the American Musical Theater.
Now excuse me while I go watch the big hair guy sing about America some more.

I'm with you all the way there - this was the best they could do from the American Musical, one of this country's true art forms? Mind you, i guess we don't know how limited the song catalog they had to choose from was.
But I agree, Constantine STOLE the show. Without getting all gushy, the man looked like a star. (Well, he actually looked a hell of a lot like Michael Hutchence, in his prime, but then, that's not such a bad thing). His rendition of Funny Valentine really rocked.
I think we're being kind of hard on these guys - remember the damn pen saleman? or how terribly bad that crooner guy was at everything except Dean Martin?
Nice summation. Constantine and Nadia don't have the best voices but they do have the best stage presence. I'm with you, hang in there Nadia!
My wife was watching an old episode of that dating show "ElimiDate" and she said that guy Constantine was on it.
He won on that show by the way.
