That was a pretty good performance, I have to admit. The Stereo Hoggz just needed to get rid of that lame 90’s boyband beginning and get straight to the real action. The wardrobe and choreography were pretty rad, thanks to their extremely proud mentor Paula Abdul.

L.A. Reid was impressed, claiming they have what it takes to be a star. Nicole Scherzinger was lost (as usual!) watching the band perform. We wish Nicole would actually be less lost as a judge. Simon Cowell said The Stereo Hoggz are one of the best groups he has seen in one of these competitions and even one of the best in the world. Wow.
