> [@KarlGrenze](#): > > I remember him last week, saying “I don’t look like Ace, but nobody does.” Ah right! I think Paula was more right than Simon. America does not vote on “tonight’s performance”. And Simon was saying the same thing Paula was, only Paula didn’t want to admit it. Which was what I thought. David doing Queen? Anybody who does Queen needs to stay a little longer. ---

David, David, _David_. Hoo, boy. Freddie Mercury is going to rise from the dead and bitch-slap your ass. And it wasn’t even a really good crooner version. Oh, _Pauler_. “Kitty Pound”? Lay off the 'Luudes, _mmmkay?_ ---

I’ve got to say I’m liking some of the song choices this year. Oddetta Adams, Jennifer Holliday, Heart, Queen. . . ---

> [@KarlGrenze](#): > > Wait… Biggirl is Seacrest “out” as in leaving the program or out as in happily out of the closet? No, he used to sign off with “Seacreast, out!” all the time. Oooooh Lynyrd! I wished for Lynyrd. I wonder if this was the song he sang at the bar with the doper. I don’t think he’s hitting the notes. But, it’s Lyrnryd dangit! ---

Hmm … Bucky sounds a _lot_ better if I don’t look at him. I wish he would shave that sleazestache off. And perhaps sing without showing his teeth. He could have done more with this song, but it wasn’t as bad as I expected. ---

He was a little rough. Randy is right. He wa trying too hard to sound “raw” when he doesn’t have to. ---

I thought Bucky was actually pretty good, although too growly and rough at times. Too bad I can’t understand a word he says when he talks. ---

I didn’t find Bucky’s accent that thick. His teeth are a little distracting and they give him a little lisp though ---

Would it be too me to say that I LOOOOOVE the Jackson 5. I was, like, 7 when they first hit. I don’t think I remember anyone else doing the Jackson 5. I don’t think he sang it that well but---- It’s the Jackson 5. And I wanna feed him peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches. ---

I know Will is, like, seven years old or something, and it’s _totally illegal_ for me to think he’s about nine kinds of gorgeous, but it would be OK if I brought him home and mae him fat on cookies and milk and just let him smile at me for a while? I am _completely over the moon_ about this boy and _I have no idea why_. Fer chrissakes, I’m probably the same age as his mother. Can I keep him for a pet or something? ---

What is it with the bad song choices? Except for Bucky, almost every performer has been brought down by exactly the wrong song for them. That said, Will is freakin’ adorable. If one can win on charisma alone, he’s got it in the bag.
