I still didn't like Haley very much and was surprised at how much Simon liked her (though if you watched it again, you'd notice that he wasn't quite as nice as it comes off. Most of it was very backhanded. He essentially said she was "not that awful" when it all got translated, but that she had a "presence."). I knew watching it that Gina's performance wouldn't get people really hot over it, but I can't explain it, but I thought it was incredible. That, and I thought Stephanie was the best last night. Who knew that someone I thought was very bland before tonight would grab my top spot?!

<3 Jordin.

Yeah, I think the fact that you and I saw different things last night underscores my point that this isn't nearly as bad a group as some people pretend. Stephanie left out the disco part of a disco song...I don't understand that. She has an excellent voice but she just left me empty last night...no doubt the girl can sing though! Gina is Gina...I like her and she belongs but I think she's limited. I don't know...I was really down on Haley and last night changed that for me...she has something that came out for the first time, we'll see if she can keep it...and remember the words!
