Very nice rendition of a real classic song. I wonder how many of the viewers know that it was written for Fred Astaire, who introduced it in the 1935 film "Top Hat". There are lots of YouTube clips of his singing and the sexy dance that follows with Ginger Rogers.
In all honesty, I feel bad for him. I wish he didn't make the top 12 because he wasn't the best, but still. He's a good singer. People way overreacted about him.
Some of you guys sound like you need some therapy and/or Prozac for your anger and hostility issues. I happen to think that he has a great voice plus he's an awesome entertainer. Give him a little time to become a little more "polished" and experienced, and "no doubt", he'll become a superstar!
He is a national joke because this country is full of idiots jumping on a racist bandwagon. Use your ears. Listen to Tony Bennet--or is he tone-deaf too?
What a piece of crap you are. Just because a person dosen't like someone's singing that makes them a racist? The only racist here is YOU. And Tony Bennett is so old, yes he's obviously tone deaf now.
assuming he can't sing, why so much hatred for a young man who joined AI to pursue a dream? why is the media out to destroy him? is he such a threat to the subcoscious fear of another minority (which is ironic because he is American and even part-white)
Go to 1:20 and watch what Simon does very very carefully and you will see why he is a genius

He said, "My goal is to let America see that I can sing", I say, "We haven't seen it yet".

that song could have been exciting if HE wouldn't have ruined it!

"Ruin" is a strong word, but his voice is strained or off-key in some parts, and it's really not an entertaining performance, I agree.

Wow. He's good. I've had it with arguing with haters. You're entitled to your own opinion. As am I. Sanjaya is amazing. You. Have a nice day.
