Steven Tyler said Scotty keeps getting better and better, and that he kicked that song into the middle of next week. Humm… Right! Jennifer Lopez praised Scotty for reaching some higher notes and pointed out he has clearly grown as a performer. Randy Jackson said that was a great song choice and that Scotty’s got money.

The judges keep doing their thing. Randy just wants to look cool, Steven doesn’t really give a damn and JLo tries too hard, but lacks depth to offer constructive criticism. Yep, Scotty tried to hit some higher notes, he told the story of the song, but his performance was a bit boring. Idol is a competition. Show us the money!!
