Michael Lynch
Big Mike is first tonight. Again, playing the baby sympathy card in his video. Enough already.
His song choice is "Miss You." It's okay. Kind of messy in spots.
Randy: I wasn't so crazy when the arrangement started, but you slayed it, dog! Way to start the show.
Ellen: What's not to love about that? Amazing. Good, good, good.
Kara: First night, big stage. (compares Mike to Mick Jagger--pfft.)
Simon: You definitely got your confidence up. Dancing was kind of corny. You sang it well. But I think when you watch it back, it was verging at times as a tiny bit desperate.
Seacrest asks Simon to elaborate on "desperate".
Simon: Do I talk to him or do I talk to you?
Seacrest walks down to the judges table and gets uncomfortably close to Cowell.
Seacrest: I'm trying to help the guy out because I want him to stay on the show.
?
Simon pushes back away from the table, waiting for Seacrest to get back on the stage, which he eventually does.
Simon: If you want we can work it out in the trailer later. (ooohs and aaahhhhs from the audience)
