I saw this one -- I thought the guy was great! I admit it crossed my mind, "What is he auditioning for?" because he was so theatrical and carefully costumed. Still, very enjoyable to watch.

I guess it pays to be a little older than Jonathan -- no problem so far.

I was going to feel superior to him because his costume looked liked it came from Liberace's estate sale, then I realized I would wear that to get my chance.

The costume you wore was better, tmitsss!
