Does Bobby Bennett remind anyone else of Jackie Gleason?

I am still reeling over the Elliott comment...but Simon is back in character...Barry Manilow is spinning in his grave.

 

[Slacking]

Wow..... Bobby Bennett was hilarious!!!!!

Barry's not dead....but that might have done it.

Did he forget Ruben...Chris was far better tonight I thought...

Bobby bobby....oh boy...no comment...ok I had to mute the TV for that....I think he will go home with Sway well at least that is who should...So Taylor is last tonight....they are hyping him up too...I really like him though...He will be better than Elliot I bet

 

[J.Cooper]

That proves it's not coke in that glass that's sitting in front of him!

Yes, he needs to keep the vodka at home

 

[damo]

Oh man Jackie Gleason was singing for us!!! That was hilarious!!!

 

[macraven]

was behind simon all the way until the elliot comment came up.



paula is starting to grate on my nerves.........she loves everyone.
everyone makes her beam............blah blah blah...........



and the rolling of the eyes when she disagrees w/ simon.......

 

[Pig Pen]

Ooops. Simon actually said Barry was probably screaming from his Las Vegas hotel room.

ACE is next, so Travis must be last? Is there someone else too? I have lost track.

[Pig Pen]

okay, this 47 yo middle aged woman just fell out of her chair...

I think the contest is over. Sorry folks.

 

[tevagirl]

Did you just see Ace's brother in the audience?? Even hotter!

 

[J.Cooper]

Sorry Randy, I don't think Ace was the best tonight. Ace gave us the Constantine look at the end with the eyes.

 

[llij]

Ace........ Wow!

Sadly, I missed the last three guys singing b/c I had to take a phone call. Ugh! How were they?

I can't wait to hear Taylor!

 

[twoksmom]

This 38 year old woman just feel out of her chair also. I already had to pick myself up once when Chris sang now I'll have bruises from falling out twice.WOW!!!!April

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

Watching TIVO now.

Up to Dave Radford aka Harry Connick Jr (HCJ for short).

loved his performance and I mean this in a positive way--I think he can get away with rockin' a bit like young Elvis.

Boo to the judges though !

 

[damo]

Oh Man!!! Ace can be my Daddy anytime!!! THAT WAS HOTTTT!!!!!!

 

[Shugardrawers]

Chris Rocks!!!!!

He's this years Bo. I liked Bo just a tad better but Chris is my man this year

This could prove to be a dangerous season!!!!!!

I hate hate hate when Simon tries to push the people he likes by exaggerating things. The only reason I think Carrie won was because Simon pushed for her votes. Even tho his singing is OK I don't like Elliott and won't be voting for him for sure....the only one's I'll be calling for are #2 David and #4 Will....

Too bad because I agreed with pretty much everything Simon had said up til now.

I disagree...Carrie was wonderful and truly deserved to win...She has a tremendous voice and beautiful to boot....She has the #1 song on radio right now with Jesus take the Wheel...Powerful song...She was hands down the best singer last season...

 

[dolphindan1]

I wasnt that big on Ace's performance either...but he will get the girl vote...too bad....Taylor just beat out Chris as the best performance for me tonight...WOW WOW WOW
