Ryan Seacrest: Up next, this is a first for our live show. A very bold move for Bo. He's chosen to sing without the band. With 'In A Dream' by Badlands. Here is Bo Bice.
Bo sings...
Clive Davis: Bo, you took... you took a real risk here. And it was indeed bold and very courageous of you, but you pulled it off. Bo, you're getting stronger each and every week, and I'm going to make a prediction that we are going to have a great time making a very special album together.
Bo: (Smiles and nods)
Randy Jackson: All right, so, yo, man, check it out dawg. You know what I love about that? It's the way you auditioned for the show. And the public probably forgets, everyone comes and sings A Cappella. There's no band, there's no stage, there's none of this. You come in the room and face us. I love it that you returned to this. You were as good now as you were then. Bo, you are the bomb. That was courageous and it was unbelievable, dude. Great... great!
Paula Abdul: Bo, you truly are a gift and what people don't know what we do know, you are a gift on the inside too. You are a wonderful soul. And the rest of the world's going to get to experience that.
Bo: Thank you, Paula.
Paula Abdul: I'm very excited for you.
Bo: (Smiling) Thank you.
Simon Cowell: (Smiles) You may have just put 34 musicians out of work. (Laughter)
Ryan Seacrest: Bo Bice. Come on over, man. Fired up?
Bo: Yeah. I'm ready to rock.
