Paul McDonald - Old Time Rock and Roll - American Idol Top 8 - 04/13/11

[halabrdave]

With his unique voice, costuming, and style, if Paul can learn to tie balloon animals he will have a long and prosperous career in doing kids' birthday parties.

[MegaPrincessUnicorn]

As much as I love Paul's suit, I find myself highly disappointed that he didn't come out in his underwear.

[minecraftman781]

awesome paul!!!!!

[loubean16]

why do so many people hate the way paul sang this song. I find his version really really good.

[kraznaplamsa]

Okay I NEED sheet music for this!!!! Alto Sax been playing for several years wanna give it a shot..... but it's so hard to find saxophone sheet music

[tom87ful]

@kraznaplamsa I have it for my band



[Shealene23]

It'd have been tight if he'd have done some Steven Tyler moves in that performance LOL

[SuperMario13king1]

12 people kept those old records on the shelf

[Faithcole98]

Paul should still be on !!!!!

[cdfmkk]

pual is the best of them all i <3 pual

[lilGambi]

who is the sax player?

[sangobaby97]

i love his smile ^_^

[memoriesare4ever2]

I agree with the people saying he should have never went home! I also agree with the people that said Haley needs to go home!

[segerfan]

Paul deserved to go home, he fucking trashed Old Time Rock & Roll.

[davidcooklover1995]

Paul should of never left. Haley should of went home!

[KarleeBrunoOswald16]

Paul is the coolest Cat ever.

Nicest voice on the show.

i <3 Paul

[Clarence055]

He has the Rod Stewart voice guys.

Stefano is a generic singer, he should have been the one who got voted out.

[gymmonkey4life]

OBVIOUSLY they are. if they werent he wouldve been out in the top 24

[sydneycarell]

dude if you dont like paul then DONT comment!!!!!go comment on f'in scotty or laurens videos...since most of you that dont like paul like one of them..or stupid stefano!lol I LOVE PAUL THOUGH <3

[1300176]

he fucking sucks

[sydneycarell]

@1300176 you fucking suck.

[Mich699900]

If you didnt like this song than you will not like Paul in concert cause this is paul! FYI is orginal stuff is so much better! check out Grand Magnolias and High tide blues stuf

[walkingtree444]

2 bad he left I hope he gets record deal so I can listen 2 him

[bigwhyte57]

The Grand Magnolias will be huge, just watch <3

[justherebarely]

Teeny boppers did Paul in, I think. I think he will have a great career after the other two bottom 3 are a fain t memory!

[originalvintage]

he's actually really good...

[kfdisawesome]

idk...it was an ok performance and i wasn't super impressed by his sax players.....playing at least haha

[DTrain5742]

I feel like it's better that he didn't win. Now he can go back to singing his own music which is where he shines the most. He doesn't have to sing all that pop crap that the winners do.

[smileydm66]

i really liked paul! him, haley, and james are the only ones who really bring life to the show with uptempo songs, everyone else is stuck on ballads and slow songs!

[Carol9812]

American public-dumb. voted off best singer last week, this week voted off the best performer/overall package.. For what Jacob? A "sweet" boy that sings Gospel to try to hide it? Makes me sick

[SuriChau21]

he was better than the other 2 ppl in the bottom 3 ! i thought haley was the 1 goin' home !

[calihorsechick]

Best stage performance. Best smile. Best clothes. Best taste in music. Now why did he leave? You tell me.

[JBcubed10]

Paul will do great things. Screw any one who thinks differently

[RandomFoodLuvers]

paul dosnt need idol he has a band and a producer and touring under his belt getting discovered was the final piece to the puzzle. idol forced him into a too tight belt telling him what to sing and putting him with out his band and putting him on a glammed up stage streamers and all. its there fault he got his point across and im glad idol wont spoil him form this date on

[IamKindness]

I hate that he went home :(

[boodz313]

American Idol is soo biased and screwed up! Paul did not deserve to go!!! Neways, he has greater things in store for him..I'm sure!!

[saranaveenhorse]

I thought he was better than the other 2...

[gymmonkey4life]

WHY DID HE GET OUT!!!! WHAT IS THIS??

[jamrodgers12]

@gymmonkey4life hes good dont get me wrong but hes not as good as anyone left and not as good as Pia either

[gymmonkey4life]

@jamrodgers12 NO ONE is as good as pia... but hes WAY better then stefano and all the girls are voting for stefano... thats why hes still in

[ApricotOfLove]

@gymmonkey4life Obviously all the girls AREN'T voting for him. He's been in the bottom 2 three times and had to be wildcarded. People shouldn't hate Stefano if their fav goes out because he is losing just as much as they are. More blame should be put on those who ARE getting votes: eg; sucky Lauren.

[jamrodgers12]

@gymmonkey4life i do agree that Stefano should be the next one to go but voice wise unless Paul sings RS his voice isn't as good as Stefano's even

[funkaholik]

I'm totally dumbfounded how this Rod Stewart caricature even made it through the first cut on AI. Got to agree, he's so bad he's good!!

[bpresley08]

Some of the people are dumb as shit if you didnt like his performance why even watch and then have to comment it? and Pia was good but it wasnt his fault so why dog him on it. Paul also has a very unique voice and knows how to entertain a crowd.Paul does have great talent and should be where he is right now.

[allyangel2007]

His voice is too much Rod Stewart. Im just neutral with his vocals Performance wise however, he's good. But I would definately trade him for Pia to come back anyday sorry!

[xsmotherxmexx]

Haley sucks!!! Paul, James, and Casey and even stefano.. all the way..

[JusticeForTheDead]

and please.. America - you failed me on Lambert, and you voted LEE somehow last year, so please vote a decent singer this year... PLEASE. lol.. The Lusk guy would be good, or that other guy with the beard, and of the girls, I think Haley seems decent.

[JusticeForTheDead]

he's so bad, that he's somewhat entertaining..... lol

[knackness]

@JusticeForTheDead ..Im sick of him already too, I like how J-lo gets jealous of Mindi the sax player though. I bet she'll be 'more' blonde next week, what do you think?

[preciouzgurl]

he was fun to watch at first but now i find him annoying. this was not his song and he lacked anything to it besides some bedhead hair.

[boodz313]

Screw all haterz...I Love Paul!

[sampson21000]

@boodz313 so do i, he is great love his voice. i hate that he got voted off. but he is with a group called The Grand Magnolias so he's already ahead of this game,,,,,,

[MCalixte89]

The Coolest Drunken Chicken in America! lmao haha

[CaranLonde]

this would have been Simon's comment: You looked like a drunk fool who just gate crashed in a wedding. :D enjoyable...but i wanna see him do something else.

[reprudy]

quirky and different but after about a minute i wanna scratch my ears off my head....

[2PolishedProductions]

great talent, sad to see all these comments

[javixupeke]

PLEASE GO HOME!

[liamn9725]

oaul is great he is my faverite

[Reereepalmer]

Can't stand him. Should have been gone weeks ago. That funky thing he does with his arm gets on my nerves & don't like his "Rod Stewart" sounding voice.

[megawatt111]

Pia could sing circles around this guy. And how come the judges have never had one negative thing to say to him? Hailey gets busted on for not choosing a song that challenges her, and Paul picks easy songs week after week.

[Voozun444]

@megawatt111 Yeah, he picks easy songs and still can't sing them! And what's up with him repeatedly yelling "Come on, Baby!" in this performance? It's like he's begging the audience, "Please pay attention to my enthusiasm rather than to my complete lack of vocal talent."

[MCalixte89]

@megawatt111 Pia has an amazing voice, it's simply amazing. But she has her record deal, she just signed with interscope. She didn't need to win, but there's people on this show that need to win more than she did. Plus, she's very boring. No presence on stage, beautiful voice, but just kinda boring :/

[ernieducks]

I think he's toast. The Rod Stewart bit is getting old.

[i90east]

Mindi Abair on the sax, nice!!!

[Jmacsexy]

let's just put it this way ... Bye,bye Paul McDonald.

[currydough]

i love his smile!

[oyyo025]

Best. Get over it. =)

[YankeesRock4eva]

GO HOME PAUL, YOU ARE HORRIBLE! REMINDS ME OF SANJAYA FROM SEASON 5

[TheGreatJosephiney]

Okay just looking at him with his ginormous smile makes you smile! :)

[zynjan]

how is this guy still on the show? awful

[idonthaveaname96]

I loveeeee his suit and I loveeeee him :)

[segerfan]

I don't like how the girl on the sax is trying to impersonate Alto Reed.

[diamonddano]

The sax player is Mindi Abair. Her live show is awesome. Her latest CD is called Hi-Fi Stereo.

[tevering99]

@diamonddano

Thx, never even heard of her. I found her website and bought a copy. Not sure what to expect but I'm sure it will be good. - T

[cammando80]

Pauls biggest nightmare is to win American Idol. This is strictly for publicity.... and i say good for him, because him and his band, The Grand Magnolias, are going to be stars. He is the only contestant primed and ready for a big career

[ver077]

The best part of that was the killer sax solo.

[slammzski]

That was terrible. He looked drunk all over the stage. A tambourine??? He did sound better in practice. I miss Simon. He would've put this guy back in place.

[Voozun444]

@slammzski Simon wouldn't have allowed him past Hollywood week

[Carol9812]

LOVE Paul and LOVE the suit!

[tevering99]

Paul was good but I think the sax player overshadowed him. Who is she?

[nuvamusic]

He always sounds better during the rehearsal than on the actual show. It's like as if he used up his voice rehearsing.

[bonggarrs]

woot! woot! we're all having fun here!!!

[Beachdudeca]

I like Paul , bu he really reminds me of a lounge act in some Indian Casino or on a Mexican Cruise ship, he is fun and all but to be honest does not have the strongest vocal or small screen dynamic

[mxyyp]

He sounded great tonight! I love that suit! This dude is sooooo cool!!!

[3WIkidz]

@syusukefuji16 *you* sound like a crow with a cough! Idk what your listening to but he sounds great, I think his voice is very unique!

[xloveXghoulx]

@3WIkidz

Lol. =D I think he sounds good too.

[3WIkidz]

@xloveXghoulx  yes, thankyou! im the only one of my friends who like him

[syusukefuji16]

he sounds like a crow with a cough, sorry...XD
