Slezak, I love you, but you’re wrong on this one.
If you re-watch the video on ABC.com, you’ll see Van Camp’s mouth clearly produce the ‘mmm’ sound required for Tommy. You will not see the mouth form an ‘o’ needed for Tony. The ‘n’ sound requires different muscles and is produced with the tongue towards the front of the mouth, while the ‘m’ does not require the tongue’s involvement and instead requires the lips to press together.
But–maybe it’s all a conspiracy by ABC–they aired “Tony” as an April Fool’s joke and switched it before they posted it online

I just re-watched it, too. It’s definitely “Tommy.”

She totally said Tony. I replayed it twice on Tivo.

… said “Tommy” Walker. No such “flub” happened. Michael, please clean your ears before tonight’s Idol.

Please, enough with the Balthazar Getty backlash. I agree with you on the fact that Tommy Walker is not the most interesting character on this show, but please let the writers and producers give him a chance – the season is not over yet ! I’m pretty sure everyone involved can come up with an interesting story line for Tommy. Plus, Balthazar Getty can be a terrific actor. What you call blandness is actually really interesting when it’s used on the right purposes – remember Davd Lynch’s “Lost Highway”.

Heard Tony, convinced myself otherwise, too late, gone from DVR. What’s been bothering me more, however, is DNA and eye color “casting.” Holly has pale blue eyes and Becca has black/brown eyes, ergo she supposedly got her eyes from her father, but his were greyish blue which he shares with Kevin and Tommy and Nora’s are black/brown like Kitty’s. Sarah’s and Justin’s. I hate it when they cast like that. It’s backwards.

I’ve got to agree. I’ve seen Balthazar Getty in a few series now (including Pasadena) and he’s a blank slate. Definitely the least interesting of the Walker clan (although I don’t care much for Rachel Griffiths’ shaggy-haired TV husband – definitely not worthy of “Muriel”’s ‘Rhonda’). The show has promise but could be improved for Season 2.

Can see why you thought it was Tony, but after a couple of playbacks, I have to agree with the others it is Tommy. But when I watched the scene early this morning, I thought who? Oh, I guess she said Tommy. (It’s noisy on the treadmill.)
