I think he missed the part about not "shooting the deputy" (I hate that song too. I cringe everytime I go see Eric Clapton and he preforms it *sigh) I think Jason squawked errr sang something like "I didn't see the deputy", "I couldn't find the deputy", or "The Deputy gave me a Bail Bondsman card that read "Raise Hell, Need Bail"" or something like that. I am with Simon I was like what audition are you from.
Also who ever was mixing the sound tonight needs to get voted off the show.
Lousy mixing like that makes or breaks a performance and I think it was responsible for much of last nite's overall suckage. You can do a lot with a weak voice when you have a solid range of sound backing you up. I saw Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan on tour a couple summers ago. The torrential rains messed up a lot of the sound equipment, so it was Willie, his guitar, and one live mic. And let me tell you, the man needs a band. As (Frank Caliendo spoofing) Charles Barkley sez: "Turrable, turrable!"
"I couldn't find the deputy"
That's funny right there!
