Does Steve Harvey know that Gedeon has stolen his hair? … Oh, this performance is reminding me _very much_ of “Animal House.”

That kind of reminded me of that David Allen Grier character in _Amazon Women on the Moon_ who was born without soul.

_YES!_ Gedeon looks like a cross between David Allen Grier’s face and smile with Steve Harvey’s hair. _Thank you!_ I knew there was some other resemblance in there.

He sounded a lot better in the intro clips. He sounds out of key now. Ouch, he just missed another one. This is awful.

Now it’s time for Stevie! Elliot sings well also. A pretty safe song choice and he’s kinda cute too.

I’m not understanding the Elliott love from the judges. I thought he was very, very good, but Chris was better.

What were they listening to? He sucked. I wonder if their sound system is off. Couldn’t they hear how out of tune he was?

Is Pauler sharing her drugs with Simon now? Because Elliott was not very good.

Well if I have to choose between Chris and Elliot than, um, Chris is the man I want to do very, very bad things with so he wins.

This is one of the worst songs ever written. I think the journey is going to end tonight for Bobby.

Nope. Not for me. He can’t sing, he chose a terrible song and he ain’t pretty.

I’m voting for Elliot, and I’ve never voted before. So whatever they heard, I did too.
