We all did, Bobby!
And what a whiner Patrick is. He says he doesn't want to make excuses, but the whole piece is just one excuse after another.

Hey, Patrick....
Do you want some cheese with that whine?
Stevie Scott was sick -- was she one of the singers during the Hollywood round who made the same excuse? I don't remember. As for Bobby, at least he seemed to be taking it in stride, while Patrick is making excuses. Simon was right about him, decent voice, but zero charisma. He simply didn't stand out.
