In fact, on Thursday night, Steven invited Randy and Ryan onstage with Aerosmith during the band's concert at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, for the band's famous cover of the Beatles' "Come Together."

Last night, "The X Factor" and "The Voice's" first publicly voted results shows of the season went head-to-head...with my man Jason Brock sadly getting the boot on "The X Factor," and eight "Voice" contestants--including a couple other favorites of mine, De'Borah and MacKenzie Bourg, and a favorite of my "Day After" co-host Matt Whitfield's, Loren Allred--also going home. It was a rough night for us singing show fanatics...especially for Matt, who seems to be taking the news particularly hard today.

For the first time in "The Day After" history, Matt and I are combining our "X Factor" and "Voice" discussions into one epic episode, with enough promotional props crammed into the frame to impress even more-is-more "X Factor" artistic director Brian Friedman. And there is SO much to discuss. Was Jason Brock robbed? Are "The X Factor's" contestant rankings surprising? Did "The Voice's" judges make the right picks? And most importantly...now that both shows are down to 12 contestants each, which one has the best talent left?

We dish about all this and more in the mega-chat below.

But Jason went out in his usual fabulous style, as only he could, memorably belting out Bonnie Tyler's '80s epic "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" and triumphantly declaring, "I did it for the gays and Japan!"--a slogan that he really needs to print on T-shirts right away.

Speaking to Yahoo! Music the morning after his elimination, Jason acknowledged the possibility that his homosexuality may have played a factor in the results. "Yes, I think that the gay thing could have had some influence on the voting, because there's a good portion of America that still thinks being gay is wrong," he said. "But I was prepared for that, and I don't regret being me...and I have to say, I really appreciate 'The X Factor' for never asking me to [not be myself]. The show itself was always encouraging me to be myself, for the most part. No one ever said I was 'too gay' or needed to 'tone it down'--thank goodness!"
