He’s O.K. I just don’t like Brandon’s voice.

Sunshine can’t sing unless he’s shouting. I hate him irrationally.

I’m a little behind, sorry. Couldn’t find the popcorn. _Anyway_ … I like Brandon’s song choice. He’s not _phenomenal_ so far, but I _love_ that song.

“Nights in White Satin,” Sundance? Sing that at weddings much? Probably not, if you sing like that. Also: fattest fingers I’ve ever seen. They’re kind of creepy.

Sundance did kind of suck. He seemed really nervous to me.

Sundance – your hair is so gross. Stiff and greasy at the same time. Yuck, I can’t look at you.

Geez, now you’ve got me feeling guilty for bashing your hair, what with stanking up the joint with a cheesy tune like that.

Sundance, there’s a couple of calls for you. The Moody Blues want their song back, and Opera Man wants his shtick.

_Ugh._ I _hate_ this song when anybody sings it but George Michael. And you, Paul Kim, _are no George Michael._ For starters, _he_ can hit those high notes. You can’t even _find_ them.

Two of each are going home on thursday. Four total. From what we’ve seen so far, it’s not enough.

Aw man. That beginning was kinda rough, dawg.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA I’m channeling Randy.

I like Paul, but that was not great.

Chris’s dad had a rock and roll dream? Is it his total lack of rhythm that killed it?

“I don’t need to be anything other than a prisoner’s son”? Mmmmmmmkay. Also: Simon thinks this guy channels Justin Timberlake? Has he gotten into Paula’s stash? But at least he doesn’t suck as much as everyone else, so far.

Bo did this song about 350,000% better, though, y’ask me.

Why does Simon think “the girls” are going to vote for this Chris? He ain’t all that, is he? (He’s not my type, so hard to say.)

He’s got a weird, reedy voice. Randy’s on crack, that sucked.

Chris S calling the other boys pretty made me giggle. 😃

I’m so glad Sundance sucked, hopefully he’ll be gone Thursday.

Paul’s feet thing is annoying, hey look at me, I can distract from the ‘that asian fellow’ label by showing my toes! :rolleyes:

Chris did well, good for him.
