Not that it matters, I don’t think, but is Bobby dinging anybody else’s gaydar? > [@Biggirl](#): > > Chris is the man I want to do very, very bad things with Oh, me too. Me too indeed. ---

Of course, I am only peaking through the weave in my t-shirt, but still. Ooh, weak applause. ---

But he did sing it well… Although the song scares me. ---

Technically, shouldn’t drag kings be in the ‘girls’ category? Five bucks says Bobby was born a woman. ---

Is this guy some kind of Barry Manilow freak or something? ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > Is this guy some kind of Barry Manilow freak or something? He lists Barry Manilow as his favorite male artist on his bio page, so. Wow … did Seacrest just actually say something _intelligent_? And … was he _right_? _Hmm._ Simon must have developed a tolerance to the Pauler Pills, because they’ve worn off already. _What happened to his happy place?_ ---

Gotta agree with Simon on that one - that _was_ a nightmare. ---

No, I don’t want Ace to be my father figure… I want something else from him… ---

Ick. He’s doing the Constantine think with the cameras. He’s also still way too breathy. ---

Shameful Admission time. I’ve bought Faith on 3 different occasions. I want to not like Ace but he did a good job on that song. ---

I’m a straight guy and I thought he fucking nailed that. ---

Ace was just OK for me. I’d like to hear him sing a masculine song–I don’t like the breathy, soft crap. ---

I don’t know whether I like his brazeness or whether I find it offputting. Definitely a sexy look he gave the camera. ---

The rumors are correct: Ace is the new Constantine. An Evil Genius of Song Selection. But you know what else? I don’t care how well or how often he makes love to the camera – he is NEVER getting in my pants. No way, no how. Nope. Polished pretty boys like this are _so_ not my type. Give me a guy like Chris any day. Still, though … Ace is going to get a lot of votes. He is not a bad singer, and I can tell why a lot of people like him, but _everything_ about him reeks of poseur to me. What the hell is he doing in this competition? Doesn’t he have an A&F catalog he should be shooting or something? ---

Now I think he’s a jerk. Referring to the professional back up singers as “his girls”? Very lame. ---

I’m melting, I’m melting! What a world… Sorry Ace haters - that was as perfect as it gets. ---

I’m really sorry. I don’t get it. Ace does _nothing_ for me. Not a twitch. Chris is quite hot, though. (Was Randy bashing Constantine there with his comment?)
