I LOVE Heejun! He makes the show worth watching. I don't believe many of these teeny boppers will do much with this opportunity anyway...so might as well enjoy it! It's just a popularity contest, & I vote Heejun!

Disrespect the song? If you respect it so much, then you can go build a shrine to its records. He didn't disrespect it, he reinvented it. It fits modern tastes. Classics are classics because people are able to take them and reinterpret them in their own ways. Music is an art, not an exact science. We respect the classics, but we like to reinvent things to fit our current tastes. It's not like Joel will be any less respected because of Heejun's performance, but Heejun will surely benefit for taking such a bold decision to remake that song.
Heejun was a joke last night. Obviously has no respect for Billy Joel, who is a classic artist. He made a mockery of a great song and the vocal was just completely off. He's going to get voted off tonight. Steven Tyler was dead on with his response.
Then, did anyone catch the disrespect to Tommy Hilfiger. There's a point when you have to put the joking and witty comments away and take life seriously, its only his CAREER that's at stake here.
Brooke White's tears come from the authentic, good soul that she is. Her heart was breaking because she was overwhelmed with the experience she had with the show and the gift that it brought.

heejun is good at performing and entertaining, not in singing (compared to the other contestants)

This guy is a clown who came every week trying to be funny instead of singing. What a joke!
