<p>[Singer finishes singing. Seacrest says some stuff and he and the nervous singer turn to the judges for the feedback.]</p>
<p><strong>Randy:</strong> Mmmm. Kinda pitchy in the middle there. I really didn&#8217;t feel it, dude.</p>
<p><strong>Kara:</strong> It was just okay. Not a good song choice for you.</p>
<p><strong>Paula:</strong> You know what I like about you, (whoever&#8217;s on the stage)?&#8230;.An artist&#8230;An artist is like a bear&#8230;an artistic bear&#8230;that doesn&#8217;t hibernate when the other bears sleep the winter away. You are up in the winter. You don&#8217;t miss Christmas like other bears. You catch Santa, even if he is fake. You pull his beard off and get at the truth. The Truth. And you eat the Truth and swallow it deep. And I can hear that in your vocals and in your ears and your heart and your bear paws. And that&#8217;s what I love about you. That&#8217;s why you&#8217;re so so amazing! So incredible.</p>
<p><strong>Simon:</strong> That was horrendous. You&#8217;ll be off the show next week.</p>
