Yeah this will be similar to One Step At a Time, Idol was used as a platform to introduce the song to the public... but then again, Jordin was coming off of a massive smash.

He's been sick all week which is why his vocals weren't as good as they always were...not to mention it's not exactly a song that blows people away vocally....except for the bridge, which I thought he did well on.
I'm just glad he did something uptempo and performed it well, since he was accused of only singing ballads and being wooden last year.

I think he sounded like he is still sick with that bad cold he had in Cleveland. And I don't think they did the whole song. I can't replay it because my fiance was DVRing something else, but the band sounded thin or not loud enough to me too.

Yeah it was shortened, but it's a long song so it makes sense. They couldn't do the WHOLE thing.

I guess I'm on my own since I said he didn't sound that great.

I'm a fan of David's and that wasn't a great vocal. I forgive you though David cuz I know you're sick!

Wow. That was soooo embarassing. I don't know how to say this gently, but I didn't like it at all. The vocal, the cheesiness, the outfit... not a fan of any of that.
He's done so much better. What happened?

Would've been a Top 20 hit if they released it right after 'Crush', instead they went with 'ALTNOY'.

I think he's very nervous and sounds sick. Not the best (even average) vocal from him. Also the sound mix is off and the light is little dark for a song like TMH. However, he did move around the stage which is improvement for him.
For the outfit, he should ditch the jacket and only wear the shirt and tie. But he still looks cute.
I was little disappointed that AI didn't mention his album and the hit of Crush at all to pimp his alum. However, no surprise as 19M isn't his management now.

Not his best performance. I guess he was sick or just nerves. I hope it gives the album a big boost though.

So far all good press on the TMH performance.

I thought his performance was laughable. I was surprised to hear him sound like that.

I thought he was good! He sounded fine to me, he sounds better live in a concert venue I think - he sounded awesome on that song when I heard it live. I've already had like, ten friends who never liked him before ask me to send them this song though!

How come he had to do it live? Every other single Idol on was taped the week before. Plus no mention of his platinum single. Still it was cute when he encouraged the bottom 2.

^Scheduling, probably. I think they switched him to this week at the last minute. And that's awesome, Sara Despite what people here may say, the overall response to the performance seems to be positive...hopefully it helps the song out.

That is good to hear, Sara. It would have been nice for Ryan to mention his album and his platinum single but I'm not surprised that they didn't. I'm interested in seeing how well it does on iTunes. I went to iTunes to buy the AOL Sessions and it keeps giving me an error.

I got an error too. I restarted my computer and it worked fine after that though. You should buy the regular version too

Yeah, I think that it was fine for people who haven't been following him so closely. For most of my friends, they were like, WOW, HE REALLY GREW UP. And were like, impressed by how much more stage presence he had. And of course, thought he was totally adorable. :)

He's been sick all week which is why his vocals weren't as good as they always were...not to mention it's not exactly a song that blows people away vocally....except for the bridge, which I thought he did well on. I'm just glad he did something uptempo and performed it well, since he was accused of only singing ballads and being wooden last year. I knew he had to be sick. I've NEVER heard him sound like that. Sucks for the people who were hearing him for the first time, they probably wondered how the heck he made the final 2. I'm glad it's that, and not his voice changing.

So far all good press on the TMH performance. I was expecting this to sound really bad based on what ppl are saying on this board but I just watched the HD video and I thought it was great. ??? ???

Well, I would think most people watching Idol watched last year too, lol...I can't imagine too many people are just now getting into it this late in it's run. It really wasn't that bad though. ??? It wasn't his best vocal, but it wasn't like OMGMGFM TERRIBLE, and he performed it really well. People here tend to overreact though, and the overall media response has been good, so whatever.

I just re-bought it from iTunes hoping it helps.
The performance great, the vocals were rough at the start, but I didn't know he was sick, I was thinking maybe he couldn't hear in the monitors...
I really hope this does well, it SHOULD have been released so much sooner, but they've really effed him...hopefully this can fix things. He reminded me why I like him so much tonight.

So far all good press on the TMH performance. I was expecting this to sound really bad based on what ppl are saying on this board but I just watched the HD video and I thought it was great. ??? ??? Because peoples have high expectation for him? I am fan of him and think he has an amazing voice and is a great vocalist. Even though I would say it's not his best performance, it doesn't mean it was a bad performance. Based on his past performance, this one didn't deliver the usual high vocal quality. He was shaky at beginning. However, I am not sure how much the sound system contribute to the low vocal quality as I think the sound mix is off and i couldn't hear the band that much. On the other note, it sounds better in my 2nd view than the first time I watched it online live (I am in west coast). Not sure it's due to the online video delivery quality or my nervousness. Anyway, I am glad to see the smiley face of David and the improvement in stage performance. Hope this performance boost the single and album sales.
