I've got kind of mixed feelings about this video. It's for a good cause, but it could have been executed better. Seems like Scott should of seriously thought about using a teleprompter or something. I find it sadly amusing how often the video cuts. He's lost in his thought processes, and the video is cut every 3-5 seconds, to try and paste together some coherent point. It must've been a hell of job for the editor of this clip.

Also, Scott's voice sounds shot. I don't know how this guy can sing with his speaking voice sounding the way it does.

Pictures & Computers sounds....I don't even have the right word to describe how great it sounds... Now I'm totally psyched to hear this album.

Only felons lose their right to vote.
Scott was never convicted of a felony.

He does that is every interview =) I think it is kind of charming but my husband always says T T Today Junior!! I am betting this was the best take of many

Why are they calling it Rock the Vote when it's basically just an Obama endorsement?  At least be honest and call it like Rock the Vote ofr Obama or something and don't disguise it is unbiased.

I don't remember hearing Obama's name mentioned in any of the rock the vote commercials.

Ummmm...where do you hear a candidate mentioned? Maybe you too young to remember when this was started but it's a non-partisan org who's main objective was to get young voters to understand the importance of registering to vote.

Tell me where you see on that site an "endorsement" for any party.

Yeah but you saw what he was saying about Clinton and he was alluding to relating him to Obama.  If he was endorsing McCain I wouldn't want to see him do it in something like that either, but I think more of a, "Hey get out there and vote, doesn't matter who it's for but make your voice heard," would have worked better.  At least he didn't do an ad for MoveOn though, now that would piss me off.
