Here’s what the judges said
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’)
