Ryan Seacrest: ...(To Clive) Great to have you with us. This man knows what he is doing. So, let's get going. What did you pick for Vonzell to start?
Clive Davis: I chose the great classic, that Dionne Warwick made famous 'I'll Never Love This Way Again'.
Ryan Seacrest: You ready? Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, Vonzell Solomon.
Vonzell sings...
Clive Davis: Whoa! You hit the notes great. You have a real, real strong voice. One caution, you've gotta be careful about a hint of a smile in a song like that. It's about holding on with passion, fearing you'll never love this way again. So no smiles. Other than that you hit the right notes, real good job. (Applause)
Vonzell: Thank you. Thank you very much.
Randy Jackson: Ahm, I still think that you're really one of the better singers left in this, but that was a little pitchy for me. All throughout... and it's a tough song to sing because ...(Audience Boos) ...No, no, no, no, listen... keeping it real. It's a very tough song to sing, because it's very rangey in the melody.
Vonzell: (Smiles and nods) Right.
Randy Jackson: ...But I mean, in the end, you brought it home, but it was just a little pitchy about halfway through.
Vonzell: Okay. Thank you.
Paula Abdul: Uhm, listen, we've heard you sing amazing ballads. You... you have a beautiful range, beautiful voice. I think it was ... it started out maybe not the best key to start in. I don't know... it was a little pitchy. But you ended up nailing... the power... power of voice that you have.
Randy Jackson: At the end... yeah.
Paula Abdul: You look beautiful. The end was great.
Vonzell: Thank you. Thank you very much. (Applause)
Simon Cowell: (Smiling) No tears, tonight?
Vonzell: (Smiling back) No tears.
Simon Cowell: Good. Okay. Look, the biggest night of your life, this. Uhm, I think you're very nervous. I think you showed in that performance, I think there were some bum notes particularly in the middle. But you got two more songs!
Vonzell: Okay.
Paula Abdul: (Nodding) Yep.
Simon Cowell: You gotta do better, though.
Vonzell: (Smiling) Okay, thanks! (Blows a kiss - Audience Applause)
Ryan Seacrest: There's Vonzell Solomon to start... two more to come from Vonzy tonight...
