Scott Savol
Song: Everytime You Go Away   (Brian McKnight  )

Scott makes us laugh again with his preview video, talking about how his fashion coordinator makes him look "more appealing to people". He's holding that tongue firmly in his cheek again!

Actually most of his outfits do really suit him. We also have a hard time working out whether Scott has lost some weight or if the styling is making him look slimmer. His 'fashion coordinator' has gone for the leather look for this song and yes, he's very appealing!

His vocal is 'okay', but there are a few pitchy notes and the general delivery of the song doesn't match up to his rendition of 'On Broadway' earlier this evening.

We think Scott could be in trouble this week... but we said that last week and look what happened!

Panel-Bites:

Scott:  One of the cool things about being on American Idol is before I used to dress myself, now I have a fashion coordinator who puts all my outfits together that make me look good on TV to make me more appealing to people.

Scott sings...

Randy Jackson:  Scotty. All right, man, so yo, check it, man. You did it again, dude. You did it again, dawg. You pulled it out... again. (Cheers, Scott claps) ...I mean, you know I was thinking... I was thinking Brian McKnight, you know, it's a little hard because he's got that syncopated kind of chorus. And you... dude, you pulled it out, man, congrats. (Applause, Scott claps.)

Paula Abdul:  I have had so much joy watching your joy tonight on stage. You own it on stage tonight, Scott. This is your best night of the whole competition. (Applause, Paula claps.)

Scott:  You know what? I only did this, this week for Simon. (Paula laughs)

Simon Cowell:  You did what? What?

Scott:  I had to come up here and do my thing, man. I'm not going home. (Applause and screams)

Simon Cowell:  (Grinning) Well, hang on, hang on, hang on. You were more flat than you were in tune on that song. (Scott grimaces)

Randy Jackson:  No, it wasn't that bad.

Paula Abdul:  (Smiling broadly) It was really good... It was really good... 

Simon Cowell:  ...I don't know about that. Scott,

Paula Abdul:  ...It was really good.

Simon Cowell:  ...you were much better on the first song.

Scott:  Okay.

Ryan Seacrest:  Scott Savol. Teeing up the challenge there. 'Every Time You Go Away', Brian McKnight, 39 on R'n'B pop singles chart. What's going to happen tomorrow night Scotty?

Scott: (Deadpan) Probably have to start thinking about what I'm going to sing next week. (Cheers and applause)

Ryan Seacrest:  Not lacking in the confidence department! ...
