Judges Comments:
Randy: He felt “Big Mike” was a great performer and “what a way to start the show!
Ellen: Couldn’t find something not to love about Mike– she thinks at some point she will be dissapointed but NOT yet!! Great start!
Kara: Loves The Stones because they are such great performers and that’s exactly what Mike did tonight! ‘I really liked it.
Simon: Was happy to see his confidence up but also said that he felt the performance at times, particullary his dancing was kind of corny. He felt the singing was good but the performance was a tiny bit desperate (all the while the other judges loudly saying ‘no, no, no’).

Judges Comments:
Randy:I don’t know if it was the perfect song choice, I don’t think it was your best vocal, but you know what I love, man? It’s the same thing that Simon was saying about Crystal. You know who you are, you’re this R&B soul dude. The best thing you can do is sing the ‘I don’t know what’ out of who you are and be theat every time you hit the stage. That’s what you did today. I loved it.
Ellen: I did feel like it was sort of a safe choice, it was like driving the speed limit. You have an amazing tone, you have a great great voice. And this woman loves that man (pointing to Lynche).
Kara: You know I love you. Technically it was really good, you hit all the notes. But I felt it was a bit boring and loungey at times, too overindulgent. Too many riffs. And I lost my connection to you performing it. I’m sorry, but you know I still love you.
Simon Cowell: I kind of know what you’re saying. It’s like you wanted one scoop of ice cream and you got eleven. It’s almost too much. I think if I advised you about choosing that song, no disrespect I would have taken all this lot off the stage. I would have had just you, piano, very simple. The truth is that this audition could have taken place 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 10 years ago. You made it very loungey. The good news is that you’ve got tons of charisma, you’ve got a very very good voice, and people like you.
