I'm with you 110%, Ansa! I think know I've missed his bantering as much as I've missed his singing.
I love, love, love his little smirk during EID when he sang the "Well, well/Well, now" and the audience reaction. I think on the CV cellcert someone was saying something about asking him at the stage door which it is... He's not gonna tell, the little shit! He enjoys teasing us as much as we love to be teased.
*sigh*
I'm procrastinating again... back to homework... blech.
