Interesting that Connie is performing in the dreaded slot-o-death. Is he wearing eyeliner? ---

Hmm … maybe I am not as old as I actually am, because I don’t know this song that Constantine is singing. What is going on with his crotch? Is that a _zipper_? Why? How am I supposed to touch it from _here_? And why on earth would I even _ **want** _ to? Anyway, I don’t know the song, but I think he did aiight. It had a good beat, and I could dance to it. I give it a 75. Oooo … looks like Paula mixed downers with her uppers, so she’s completely incoherent, but not as spastic as usual. I think I miss the old Paula. Maybe. ---

OK, so I love Carrie, but the girl can’t dance. ---

AI needs to stop making me feel old, godsdammit! Hearing these kids talk about the 70s as if it were the Mesozoic era is making me feel like Methuselah’s granddad! ---

Carrie’s bombed, I think. This song sucks in the first place and she gave a really lackluster performance to boo. That blew. Randy’s high. ---

Riddle me this, Batman: Why in the name of all that is holy won’t Scott look in the mirror and realize that SHE IS NOT COMING BACK? Look at yourself – you’re a troll! I know it’s hard to find songs about wailin’ on your babymama, but I never in my entire life heard such sick, sad desperation evident in a person’s song choices, unless one wrote the songs oneself. My head hurts. And it was bad, to boot. ---

And if we’re doing “70s Dance” as a theme, how about some punk? I remember pogoing to “I Wanna Be Sedated” and “God Save the Queen.” How about some music to slamdance to? The Cramps? Iggy Pop? The Buzzcocks? There was more to the 70s than disco, folks! ---

I’m hoping for a crotch recap at the end, i missed it. I think the eyeliner was distracting me. ---

Beneath it all, AFed is still a dorky high schooler. Oh wait… he wasn’t hiding that under anything. ---

The Cramps? Iggy Pop? The Buzzcocks? There was more to the 70s than disco, folks! I’ll mail you a dollar if any one of these people – including Constantine and Bo – have ever heard of the Buzzcocks. They probably think of it as a kind of cheap beer, or at best “some guys who opened for Pearl Jam once.” A-Fed, A-Fed, A-Fed … were you required to leave your taste in music behind when you left godless communist Soviet Russia? This song blows chunks. Good Lord. Sorry, y’all, I’m really bitchy today … apparently I hate “70’s Dance Music.” Guess it doesn’t count that _I_ dance to “Smoke On The Water,” huh?
