Seeing Frankie Avalon at the beginning of the show last night was a lot of fun. It played like some of the best moments from the show's finals that play out like media events.

Meanwhile, I have to admit that I got a bit choked up when Scott got cut. I had so much empathy for that kid that, as unrealistic as it may be, I would have loved to have seen him go all the way. I hope that some record executive sees him as a viable recording artist and gives him the chance to record.
