Scotty delivered another solid performance. He worked the stage and the crowd. He walked with confidence, but he seemed way too relaxed for someone who should truly understand what it really means to be competing for the Idol title.

The judges didn’t speak until the end of the second round of performances, but when they did we wish they kept their mouth shut. They could not deliver constructive criticism even if their lives depended on it. And Scotty was named the winner of the first round.
