Wow, Travis really effed that up, huh?

I’m not a fan of that Edwin McCain song, but Bo’s still it for me.

I knew people who want a ‘rocker’ would be pissed when Bo said he likes Edwin McCain. Because there’s got to be a pedigree.

Here’s hoping. That was painful. I completely agree with Simon’s critique.

_small voice_

I thought Mario’s song was sweet. I don’t think he’s in any danger of going home tonight.

Danggit, I missed the first half and now y’all are saying my beautiful Travis whiffed? ☹

I will seriously be saddened if Conjob Snarkpants makes it and TT doesn’t.

Another bad performance by Constantine and boy, Randy is sure pimping that performance.

Smirky McSmarmovitch couldn’t carry this song if Sting glued handles on it!  
Paula and Randy are insane, wtf were they hearing there?!

He did not sound like a bad impersonation of Sting. He just sounded bad.

Simon missed the perfect response.

“That was a bad impersonation of Sting.”  
“He doesn’t even sound like Sting.”  
“That’s what makes it a BAD impersonation of Sting.”

I would agree that this was the better of Constantine’s performances in the last three weeks, however that ain’t saying much.

It did make me wish for a Sting / Police theme night, though.

Bwahahahahahaha!

I guess I actually have to get out my phone and actually vote in tonight. If only so I can raise the votes for Scott.

I feel really gross when Constantine looks at me through the TV like that. Like I need to take a Silkwood shower or something.

HEY! Anwar’s finally gotten rid of the ugly jackets. I’m liking the song so far. It’s totally different and that’s a good thing.

Randy: “I don’t just give it up, I keep it most real”

Bahahahaha! 😃  
Ok, but this time was warranted, I finally got to see why so many people were worshipping at the Anwar altar.

Bad example. Simon isn’t pimping Anthony. He seems to brush him off everytime because he reminds him of Clay.  
Would someone please put Paula out of our misery? She seems to really be having trouble forming a complete coherent sentence… well, more so than usual.  
I think Travis is definitely out. The other person could be a toss-up, though I’m hoping it’s Constantine.

Is it wrong to have snickered when Simon said Anwar and Paula should marry because they’d have nice children?
