This was the only performance which stands up in the real world -- tonight you were the standard.
They don't perform that song live because it's not a very good song.
Thank God for Chris. This, for me, was the only real-world performance. I can actually imagine you having a hit with this record. . . . Best tonight by a mile.
Honestly, to see these guys perform tonight is the proudest moment of my life. I came up with the idea four years ago. I just thought we should bring this music to the masses like we've done tonight. You see the reaction.
In my opinion, this was your best performance so far.
The truth is, Lisa, is that the song was too big for your voice. There were parts during the performance where it was actually painful.
They all hate each other deep down, but they're not gonna say it on camera. Ask Kelly how many congratulation e-mails she got from the other contestants. Probably zero. But that's the music business. In a positive way, I like that. I like the fact that people enter the show because they might win.
Personally, I hope to find the next Siegfried and Roy.
Everything's open this year, isn't it? There are four, five, six people who could win.
The Super Bowl's a good analogy. You've got to make people look forward to it once a year.
Ryan, with respect, I do this for a living. I don't play at it like you.
Complete and utter mess. It was 'We Will Rock You, Gently'.
Creed would not be caught dead on this show. You've got to start showing, at this point, another side. You can't keep doing this week after week after week.
We don't want to spread any rumors here.
