Anthony: I'm singing 'Don't Take Away The Music' by Tavares. Ahh, dancing has always been a part of my life... Number ones all over the place. Best dancer in the world, stuff like that... I'm just kidding... (Laughs) But I did take Latin dancing for a few years, and that was a lot of fun. ...I'm looking forward to this week because I have a chance to shake my bootie. (Laughs)
Anthony sings...
Randy Jackson: Anthony. Yo, yo. So dude, I'm sure, man, every week people are waiting like... Oh man, this might be the week Anthony falls down, whatever, whatever, dude. You didn't do it this week! Got to give you props baby. That was good. (Applause)
Anthony: Thanks, Randy.
Paula Abdul: You picked the right song. This song like was soothing in the right range, in your range. The vocals sounded great! Strong... in pitch. You danced a little. I thought... this was probably your best week.
Anthony: Thank you. (Applause)
Simon Cowell: I don't think it was your best week. It certainly wasn't your worst week.
Paula Abdul: Take it.
Randy Jackson: Yeah!
Simon Cowell: I hadn't finished. It was pleasant, safe, and a little insipid.
Paula Abdul: Whatever...
Simon Cowell: So it's sort of a compliment.
Paula Abdul: (Wearily)...whatever.
Anthony: (Smiles) I'll take it.
Ryan Seacrest: Anthony Fedorov. He says he'll take it. And that dancing, man.
Anthony: Yeah.
Ryan Seacrest: There it is...
Anthony: (Twirls)
Ryan Seacrest: ...Yeah...Burning it up!
Anthony: That's right.
Ryan Seacrest: Now, you always seem to be happy. You know, in the days leading up to the show. Are you just happy to be back each and every week?
Anthony: You know what? I actually... like I'm finally starting to click with myself, I'm starting to feel good about what I'm doing up here. So you know, that's... I've been... I've been happy last week, and I'm happy this week because I finally, you know I'm just... I'm not thinking about what I'm doing, I'm just having fun out here and just enjoying the crowd.
Ryan Seacrest: And relaxing a little bit.
Anthony: That's right. I'm relaxed.
Ryan Seacrest: All right then....(Gives out voting numbers) ...Let's see that Latin dance, c'mon!
