Crazy Dave passed through to Hollywood because he promised Randy that he would talk to the animals for him and also because he was nothing but a huge ball of energy, jumping around and screaming on the stage.

Crazy Dave bounded out onto the stage and shouted, "People of the Universe! . . . [pointing to the judges] Honorable Overlords! . . . You're now in the presence of Mr. Dubious, Dubba Dub Dub, Bubba Wubba Yubba Baby Wooooo-Yeah!!!"

Dave then broke into Bat out of Hell, and during the performance, he lept the gap between the stage and the judges' table so he was belting out the finale immediately in front of them. Simon responded by saying, "That was wonderful. Thank you."

Despite this energetic performance, Dave was passed over and sent home.

It's really quite a shame. I realized that, if Dave Hoover made it to the final two, I would have watched every lousy episode this season. Now, there's simply no reason to keep watching.
