Anthony: Mom, dad, thank you so much for basically giving me the all-American dream, you know. You guys brought us here for a reason. To make a better life, and I'm living it. I'm making all my dreams come true and that would never happen if it wasn't for you two. So thank you, I love you both and I will make you guys proud.
Anthony sings...
Randy Jackson: Yo Anthony. An-thony. All right, so check it out man! You know what? This was a much better version of the song. It kind of put you in the mind of Simply Red, like Mick Hucknall, Paula and I were just saying. Dude, that was good man, you worked it out.
Anthony: Thank you.
Paula Abdul: You came out here with conviction. You nailed it.
Simon Cowell: (To the band) That was a better arrangement guys. (Paula laughs) (To Anthony) Ahm, the problem I have with that if I'm being honest is that I think you need soul to sing that song. Ahm, and it came over like trying to have Woody Allen play the lead in Shaft.
Randy Jackson: No, it wasn't that cheesy!
Ryan Seacrest: Anthony Fedorov... do you have soul?
Anthony: Yes I have soul!
Ryan Seacrest: All right... you like him, you want him to stay in, you've got to vote for him...
