How did you know the pants were pink, Scott?

Because I’m totally FAKING IT! PWNED!

When Ryan was introducing Scott, he said “It’s good to _ **see** _ you.” That seems a little insensitive. I have noticed similar things in other weeks as well.

We’re about to get a ‘cruise ship’ comment from Simon.

Trainwreck, but not enjoyable.

Stevie Wonder must be rolling over in his grave.

…not dead, you say?

That girl that went home last week was way better than Megan.

Megan sounds terrible. What is that sound she’s making. This is godawful.

Who told her that weird vibrato was a good idea? It was like she did the whole song in a goat voice.

Megan was awful. Embarassingly awful. Smokey needs to get some stones and give some real advice. And that dress? Was not a good look. The judges are just saying that so they can say something positive, right?

Who is dressing Anoop?! Good lord, get him in some real adult clothes!

Anoop showing some good control of the falsetto, but I don’t know that it was really all that special. Maybe the best performance of the night so far, but that’s not saying a whole lot.

I like Anoop’s song, and I thought it was a pretty good vocal. I enjoyed it. Dude needs a truckload delivery of stage presence though.

Simon called it a performance in a musical, but I’m calling “performance in a college a capella concert” myself.

You’re right. The falsetto was good, but that was a boring performance.

Michael’s best but he won’t be finalist if he survives this week.
