Scott: This week I chose "Everlasting Love" by Carl Carlton, a big dance hit in the '70s... Y'know the '70s ain't my thing, the platform shoes, butterfly collars, the crazy, ridiculous clothes... My thing on dancing isn't real choreography, anything like that. It's just feeling the song, moving on the stage, you know. And I want to move, and I want the people to move. I want them to feel it and have a good time.
Scott sings...
Randy Jackson: Scotty. Scotty. What's going down, dawg? What's up, man?
Scott: What's up man? (Clears his throat)
Randy Jackson: What's going down with you? You know what?
Scott: What's up?
Randy Jackson: You know what I'm impressed by, man, is every week the last three weeks, dude, you come out, you pick just the right song. That song fit your voice great, dude. I had no problem with it, dude. It was hot. (Applause)
Scott: Thank you, thank you , thank you.
Randy Jackson: Got to give Scotty his props Paula.
Paula Abdul: I give... You know I always give Scotty his props. You do have a knack of picking the right songs. But more importantly, you had fun out there. You seem to be on pitch tonight. I think even Simon was snappin'. Simon did you ever? ... This was a fun dance period.
Randy Jackson: Yeah!
Paula Abdul: Did you ever dance during these times?
Scott: He ain't gonna tell you he was.
Simon Cowell: No.
Randy Jackson: He doesn't dance, Paula...
Simon Cowell: (Shaking his head) No.
Randy Jackson: ...He doesn't dance.
Paula Abdul: God, you were...
Simon Cowell: Paula! (Simon gestures towards Scott)
Paula Abdul: Whatever.
Randy Jackson: Paula, there's a song called "the dead don't dance."
Simon Cowell: (Wanting to get back on track) All right, all right, all right.
Paula Abdul: The dead don't dance.
(Silent Pause)
Randy Jackson: Hello?
Simon Cowell: Oh, is it me?
Randy Jackson: Oh yeah...
Simon Cowell: I beg your pardon.
Scott: (Checks his watch)
Simon Cowell: (Some Audience screams) ...Sorry... Scott, look, I've been figuring out for weeks why you're still in the competition, and I think, and I don't mean this disrespectfully. You are 'ordinary guy', ahm... who is doing quite well. But at the same time ordinary guys can get up at a karaoke bar and sort of entertain an audience. (Groans) And I think... I think that was... no, no, I'm just trying to keep it real. I'm trying to keep it real, which is I think it was...
Randy Jackson: Wow!
Simon Cowell: ...and (I'm) probably failing, I know. But I think it was similar to that. I just wasn't that excited.
Paula Abdul: This is coming from a guy who doesn't like to dance.
Ryan Seacrest: Scott Savol, ladies and gentlemen. Come here, did you want to say something back to them?
Scott: Ah, I just want to say God bless you, man. Thank you for your comments. And I appreciate 'em.
Simon Cowell: Any time!
Ryan Seacrest: Also known as "I can't stand you". Scott, when I said "'70s dance music", did you have a little panic attack?
Scott: I did. Ah...(Laughter) ...you know, I was sweating for a week there. and ah... My mom, who's at home now... Happy birthday, mom... love you...
Ryan Seacrest: She picked that song for you?
Scott: She told me... I was thinking of another song. She said "Is 'Everlasting Love' On that list?" I said "I don't know". I said "I'll go back and check it out". I called her. She's like, "Do it! Do it!"
Ryan Seacrest: Did he do it for you, America? (Applause) Vote for him if he's your man...
