Wes Patterson kicked off Round 3 last night with six sleek synth-funk numbers. Guest judges Tyrannosaurus Chicken — individually known as Rachel Ammons and Smilin’ Bob Lewis — wrote that they loved Patterson’s voice and noted his “knowledgeable use of his gear.”

Judge Clay Fitzpatrick noted that if only he’d had a couple more drinks in him, he “would have been on all fours making my butt dance.”
