I have a sneaking suspicion they guy's on some sort of anti epilepsy medication. I thought I caught his eyelids doing some odd rapid fluttering while he was singing (stress? late for his meds?). Of course, the same symptoms could easily apply to someone on crack or heroin.
Paula almost certainly passed him just to p*** off Simon, I just wish she'd said as much.
I think your analysis is pretty well on the money.
I am a bit disturbed about Crazy Dave. The dud is seriously disturbed. Surely, we know he won't go beyond the next round, yet giving this poor fella a false sense of hope seems cruel. I'm not sure though, that he will even realize what has happened to him.
My Husband liked 'Crazy Dave' right away...course, my Hubby is named Dave so maybe that's it. lol
One thing about this guy tho...he certainly captures your attention. His 'buzz' was contagious, at least for Paula and Randy, and that's a big part of making a 'celebrity'. A crazy brand of charisma perhaps!
Looking forward to this season's show! Who knows what will come of it. It's been fun watching the careers of previous season. I like Kelly Clarkson more now than in her 'Idol' days and think she has a shot at a long career, as does Carrie and prossibly Josh Grasin. I'd like to see Bo Bice's career really take off this year..he seems like a deserving fellow. Caught him on CMT's 'In The Moment'.
Perhaps you're right. I have no knowledge of such medication, so don't have a clue how they might make someone behave. If that's what the guy's problem is, I'm truly sorry for him.
If, on the other hand, the guy (1) was faking to get noticed and get on TV, or (2) is genuinely nuts and/or on illegal drugs, I have no sympathy for him.
Whatever...he should not be going to Hollywood -- if for no other reason than I live here in So. California and don't want him coming to my neighborhood. ;-)
