yes, he cried like hell. and my aunt and my dad watch the show, she lives upstate, so they talk about it on the phone during commercial breaks. as soon as they said "You are going home tonight" our phone rang and my aunt was on the other end soundin' like Sister Patterson (I Love NY much?) going "PRAISE THE LAWD! PRAISE HIM! PRAISES BE TO HIM, I CAN ENJOY TV AGAIN!!!" lmao
Oh and for those who never got to hear him sing...it was terrible. He's an entertaining performer, but not a singer. He missed the words to songs almost every week, looked a mess, and snapped back at criticism. He wanted to be famous, he did it anyway he knew how. What sucks is that even though he's gone we'll never escape him. He's already booked for a dozen tv shows this week.
