It's too much.
Simon, what are you gonna do

With them?
I can admit that I really

Liked that performance.
[cheers and applause]

um...
hey, can you just, like,

Stand still?
[laughter]

I cannot--I don't even know
which one is the most annoying.

[laughter]
I don't think this is music.

I think it is unintentional
comedy.

[audience booing]
but at the same time, I think

If I--well, actually, I am gonna
have one, actually--if I had a

Three-year-old...
[cheers and applause]

I think he probably--or she--
would probably quite like you...

thank you.
with the volume turned off.

[audience booing]
guys, why should I keep you in

The competition?
you know, I hated high

School, 'cause every time I sat
in a class, all I wanted to do

Was sit in front of people and
entertain people, whether it was

Singing, dancing, rapping.
That's all I ever wanted to do,

And that's all I'll ever want to
do.

And then, to be honest, when I
met this guy, it was like--it

Was like I got a superpower, as
cheesy as that sounds.

[laughter]
okay, iron man, listen.

[laughter]
only simon can make the call

About wild thingz.
With that said, simon, what is

Your decision?
[cheers and applause]

what would you do?
it's not my act.

What would you do?
keep them, keep them.

okay, this is--this is the
normal part of my brain, and

This is the insane part of my
brain.

which part are you going to
listen to?

[cheers and applause]

I'm gonna go with my insane
part.

Take a seat.
yeah, yeah, yeah!
