Jesus, kara, you guys ripped the shit out of him for “being Todrick” last week. And Simon is REALLY more full of shit than usual this year. He’s just flat out lying through his teeth. (and pssst…Simon…it’s Todrick, not “Tondrick.”) He really seems to want to get rid of this kid. Probably because he’s too black. ---

Kara was right about one thing. He did loosen up and got better when he started moving around. ---

What’s bad about Todrick is not that he’s changing songs up. It’s that he’s trying too hard. It’s like “Hey, check out this crazy arrangement!”. His voice isn’t the first thing you notice. Compare it to David Cook’s version of “Hello” as an example of how to change up a song while making it seem totally new, fresh, and effortless. ---

“I rocks my onesie.” Heh. ---

Footed jammies? That’s some scary shit. ---

Bowtie, polka dots, cardigan and a fauxhawk!? ---

Oh, Jermaine. No no no. You’re dressed like Gay Urkel and you can’t sing. ---

He’s a likeable kid, but he doesn’t have the soul of Marvin Gaye. ---

What is it with the stupid hair? Gumby sounds terrible. It’s not like What’s Going On is a hard song to sing, either. He ended better than he started but it wasn’t that good. ---

Jermaine, ugh. Cyndi Lauper’s version had more soul. ---

My husband informs me that that’s not Gumby, that’s Tin-Tin. ---

Did he just say he was going to be here next week because, “I know God”?!? Yes, he did, twice. Damn, boy. ---

That jacket looks like it’s slicing into his upper arms, it’s so tight. Neck Tat should have done John Legend. He’s got the chops. ---
