I actually really like his voice, would love to hear him sing more. Wish he would have made it further );

@IslaJonas

I think the reason why he got eliminated was because he sounded like he forgot some of the lyrics to the song

@ExcessOxygen

@Courtney Statella he changed it

@MrKing-qv8rl

@Switees unite You're delusional if you think he did this to make it all the way. It's clearly a joke and simply a funny cameo. How are you people THIS dense???

@GuardianAngel871

While not the best performance of the season, I honestly can't help but love it for how ultimately entertaining it is.

@whizzolightred7153

If it was The Masked Comedian, he would have won.

@legowar177
