Randy:
Yeah, yeah, dawg, Clay, man, see? You know what I'm sayin? That's
how you do it, dawg, that's how you do it right there. No matter
what it is, you make it your own. That was brilliant dawg.
Paula: Arright, Clay.... you've proven it doesn't matter what genre
of music you're singing, your voice is your voice, it's golden,
it's golden. And I just was lookin for ya to dance a little...
Clay: hahahaha!
Paula: Butcha didn't. Great job!
Clay - I need some help on that, yeah.
Verdeen White: Clay, I saw ya backstage this afternoon and you didn't
look like you could sing like that. Man, you can sing, you got chops
man!
Simon: Simon on his last episode of American Idol... um... First
it was a disco genre and I have to say, Clay, if I'm being honest,
within the context of this competition, I thought that was terrible.
Paula: booooooo
Randy: what? What you mean dawg?
Simon: Sorry... no no no no no... I'm sorry maybe I'm just missing...
maybe I'm missing the plot here. I'm looking for a future superstar
and based on that I just didn't get it, sorry, they disagree...
Randy: Don't you think it was the best so far tho?
Paula: Way to go, Clay, way to go! |

Randy:
Yo, yo, Clay, what's up dawg, what's up baby?
Clay: How are ya?
Randy: how do ya feel, baby, good?
Clay: OK!
Randy: First up tonight, that's good. Listen, it's definitely been
proven week after week that you can definitely really, really, sing...,but
the choice of song this week, and even a little bit last week, didn't
really slay me, I mean, to me it just makes it a little bit... it
shows a little less of your voice, it brings out the theatricalness
in it, but I think that you can definitely blow, but I just wasn't
crazy about the song.
Lionell Ritchie: Well, let me tell you how I feel about this. First
of all, I am still in awe that all of that is coming out of that body.
Unbelievable. Can't get over it. Who is that guy? I don't know, who
are you? The most important thing is that, you know, Randy, it's all
in the selection of the song, and even the fact that the song, if
I had another choice, it would be another song, but the fact that
you just pulled that off with such powe,r and such conviction... you...
I think you did a great job, man, great job.
Paula: You know I'm a big fan of yours, don't you? Clay, here's the
thing... I agree with what Lionell's saying, it was good. The only
thing that I think is it's a gutwrenching song, and I didn't feel
that there was enough urgency, or heartbreak, but I'm a huge fan,
as always.
Simon: Well this show proves that Randy Jackson hasn't got a clue
what he's talkin about because that song was perfect.
Randy: Yeah, right, yeah, right.
Simon: Absolutely on the money, well done. |

Randy:
Yo, baby, I just got one thing to say, man, it's good to see you
switch it up! Yeah, you did your thing, man, you did your thing,
dawg.
Smokey Robinson: You normally do sing ballads, but you proved tonight
that you can sing anything. It was terrific.
Clay: Thank you very much.
Paula: Smokey, I just gotta say I love your eyes so much, I was
always in love with you, I just had to say that. Clay..... you have
such a great voice, I love it, I love it, I just can't wait to see
you just let loose and dance a little more. Please, please, just
for me?
Clay: I'm workin up to it. Slow, baby steps.
Paula: Thank you!
Simon: You're drunk again....
Paula: No, it's just that you didn't take your happy pill, that's
all.
Simon: Clay, don't take this the wrong way, but I prefer you when
I shut my eyes...
Randy: What does that mean????
Simon: It's a complimemt, it's a compliment, it's your facial expressions...,I
find them a bit theatrical, but you'e got such a great voice...
if you could just calm down that weird thing you do with your face...
Randy: Can you do it, Simon? What he does?
Simon: I'm not gonna do it.... but it's a compliment 'cause he sounds
great...
Paula: Nice backhanded compliment.
Ryan: You know, it's funny, 'cause I prefer Simon when my eyes are
closed! |
Ryan:
Send him down the rocky road to fame...

Randy: Yo, yo, what's up, dawg, what chu doin', man? Clay, you know
what, you know what's funny? I keep thinkin about this contest we're
doin', and I think we're tryin' to find the best that we can find
in America, an' dude, every week you come up with it, dawg, you're
definitely one of the best in America, dawg. Gotta give it up!
Paula:
Another wonderful week. Great vocal performance. I really think
that the only bit of constructive criticism for you, and I'm not
gonna say dance, I promise, is just conitinue down the path of being
truthful to who you are as an artist. Let go and continue. Your
voice is the star, and just keep goin', you're a definite contender
for the finals.
Diane Warren: Wonderful,
Sarah Evans did a great version, Edwin King did a great version,
and now Clay did a great version. Beautiful, excellent! I love your
voice. Thank you!
Randy: Simon Cowell? You have anything to add?
Simon: Well, I mean, if I, it's, you know, ahhh, blab blab blab
blab blab (tongue tangling), if I was gonna give you advice, which
you probably wouldn't listen, but anyway, I would say as a Broadway
artist, you will make a fortune on the back of this. I just don't
see you as what we were looking for originally, which was a great
(fans uproar in background), a recording artist. That 's not to
say that you haven't got a great talent, you have, but when I was
talking about, if I was casting for Phantom of the Opera or something,
you'd get the part, and that's not being rude. Because you've got
that type voice.
Randy: You talkin' 'bout that show with that mask?
Simon: No, not Mr Personallity.
Randy: Oh, right, yeah, yeah, ya not that show .
Simon: But you know what I'm saying. That's why I'm trying to be
a bit more constructive this week as to... I don't know what...
Diane: Simon, I have a t-shirt for you...
Randy: Diane has a gift for you, Simon...
Diane: You need to wear this t-shirt...
Randy: Hold that up Simon it's for you...
Simon: (reading shirt) "Sorry, I don't do nice" OK, but
well done!
