I Don't Mean to Be Rude, But...: Backstage Gossip from American Idol & the Secrets that Can Make You a Star

Scott Savol is determined he's going to be a star 'on Broadway'!

During Scott's pre-song piece he has a tongue-in-cheek dig at Simon Cowell who told him to pack his bags last week!

He even manages a second dig during his song when he steps down to the panel, points at Simon and sings "You say that I won't last too long on Broadway!" Simon, seeing the funny side, grins back and applauds Scott for his humor.

Dressed street-style, Scott delivers with this song. He sounds good, has a fun vibe and goes down like 'da bomb' with the studio audience.

The only thing that Scott (and Paula) fall down on this week, is in not being familiar with the wonderful original version of this song by The Drifters!

Panel-Bites:

Scott:  This week I'm singing 'On Broadway'. A song made famous by George Benson. And the reason I'm singing it is because last week Simon told me to pack my bags because I was leaving. And I'm not leaving until I become a star on Broadway.

Scott sings...

Randy Jackson:  (Laughs) Scotty... Scotty, what's going down, dawg? What's up, baby?

Scott:  What's going on?

Randy Jackson:  So yo, man, listen. Definitely there were some bad notes in there, but the thing that's interesting for you. I mean, there were some pitch problems. But listen, the thing that's interesting for you, here's the positive point. Every week you seem to come up with just enough of the right vocals to pull it out, and you did it again that time, dude. I give you props. (Cheers and applause)

Paula Abdul:  Have you ever heard of the word 'moxie'? Like...'moxie'?

Randy Jackson:  Yeah.

Paula Abdul:  You've got a lot of 'moxie', meaning that you have come with conviction, and it's not one... you're having... in tongue and cheek, so playing it up to Simon like you're going to stay here. I think that you did... I've never heard another version besides George Benson. That song was made for George Benson, but now I really love the way you did that version. I really do. (Cheers and applause)

Simon Cowell:  Scotty, you've had more escapes than Houdini... (Paula and Randy laugh) ...But I agree with Randy, there were one or two bum notes. Taking that aside, in my opinion that was probably your best performance so far.

Scott:  (Smiles and claps... the audience cheers)

Ryan Seacrest:  Scott Savol pulling it out! Excellent, bro...
