this seaon america cares about 2 things Haleys legs and Sanjayias Hair. Gina shouldve been at least in the top 5. I would take Gina and her talent over Haleys legs any day. I wish Gina the best and hope one day she gets a record deal. I would buy her cd.

It would be great to see Gina on the Idols Tour this summer. She can rock the house.

No WAY should Gina have gone! My 17 year old son said tell Gina to made a Cd so he can buy it! She was his favorite
in my mind the ultimate "Idol" contestant of the pre-lapsarian era, the one who most perfectly combined the demands for relentless emotive singing and the wow factor -- Katharine McPhee

Yeah, I don't quite get the voting this year either.  Stephanie, Chris S and Gina all left too early. It seems you have to be a hot guy or a hot girl to stick, with a few notable uber talented exceptions.

but Gina was hot and talented.  I find Gina more attractive and talented than Haley, but yeah I think Samjayia is still on there for his looks and that sucks. I want Gina to get a record contract so bad. I really want her to have a cd.

If Gina had done a totally all-out rock song instead of a ballad, she'd still be there. Well, at least she would have upped her chances. I guess she was just trying to be versatile, but I think people were really digging the rocker chick. I guess that wasn't the theme, but still...

OT, but Why don't we have any country people this year? Last year we had two in the top ten. This year we've got a couple of Justin Timberfakes. Which we don't need because we've still got the original.

Gina was really undervalued I think. Her rendition of 'Smile' was endearing and proof she can successfully go from being the gritty rock singer to sweet song stylist if she wants to. It's too bad she had to go early. But, we all know she's going to likely get a record contract. Every record producer out there can see she has talent...and we'll likely see her have a successful album somewhere down the line.

Did any of you see Jay Leno's opening bit tonight with Gina doing a walk-on? It was a bizarre bit to say the least. Leno brought the Oak Ridge Boys out with her (they must have been in the area)--and they did one of those parodies of the Geico commercials where a celebrity re-explains in layman terms what the regular person went through. With some interplay that pretty much led to crickets heard in the audience...the Oak Ridge Boys started singing a parody of their old 'Elvira' song...calling it 'Sanjaya.'

Weird, yes, but it was pretty clever...and Gina was grooving along while they sang.

Frankly, though, Leno doesn't show much respect for the Idol knock-offs. Last year, he had that Wheel of Consolation thing that just made the eliminated Idols look like they were worthless.

Seeing Gina's tongue stud makes me realize that those things are more mainstream than we think now. I'm not going to even ask why some people do that (well, I've heard why)...but that won't get in the way of her becoming a respectable music star soon.

Edit to Groucho: I agree that her fanbase probably didn't "get" her singing 'Smile.' I guess giving a rocker treatment to that could work--but I'm glad she kept it traditional to prove diversity. Sometimes the artist knows better than the voting fanbase do.

Gregoriancant I like the part where you said shes likely to get a record contract. , you can talk about Haley's legs or Sanjayias hair, but for me I liked Gina's streak in her hair cause she not only looks good but has the talent to back it up. and to me Wed proved Haley stayed because of her legs, cause right before we found out who went, Simon told Haley I like your legs, and then we find out shes safe.

I really like Gina's voice best out of the girls for my taste and I gave her quite a few votes the other night myself.  And that in no way denies the very talented singers like Melinda, Lakisha and Jordin.  I just really liked to listen to Gina sing and she was the one that provided a little variety.  She sort of reminded me of a young Ann Wilson (Heart).  Melinda, Lakisha and Jordin are all similar in style so with them it gets a little monotonous.  Haley is a decent singer and she certainly is attractive but her singing somehow reminds me of the girls that sing off the beauty pageant shows.   There is just nothing really memorable about her voice to me.  As Simon would say, no "wow" factor at all.  The one piece of advice that might have helped Gina is that when she is not in "rocker" mode like the other night then I would say she should have left off the streaked hair and the tongue piercing.  I'm not bothered that she has that, but singing "Smile" with a tongue piercing and the "punky" hair just doesn't fit.  Actually, I just wish she had left off the tongue piercing altogether when she was singing because it often to me seemed to effect her pronunciation of words.  Oh well, I wish her well and hope someone out there will give her a break to get a record out.

I agree about Haley, I am NOT trying to bash her in any way. I just feel she shouldve gone before Gina. but you cant deny her looks are one of the things keeping her on.

"Simon would say, no "wow" factor at all. "
Naw, dawg, that's the "YO!" factor.
I guess you either got it or you ain't. Haley keeps trying, Katharine just had it. Comparisons are hell. The past few weeks every time Haley performed all I could think was "I think I've seen it done better." She just keeps making me think of Simon's famous little shtick about "By doing that song in that way, you're saying you're as good as Katharine McPhee. Well you're not." And I'm not even trying to be mean because I like Haley. It's like that thing about how nobody should stand next to K. and have their picture taken because they're always going to be the second most striking person in the picture.

The bottom line guys and gals, is that there are two giant voting blocks on AI: preteen girls and middle-aged women. And you have to appeal to one or the other to make it through to the end. That's why Taylor and Kat made it, while Chris didn't. Most of the woman backed Tay and the girls backed Kat. Of course we helped, but the reality of the situation is that you need one of those groups behind you to push you over the top. Gina had neither. Same with Stephanie and Chris S. And if Jordin doesn't win over the preteens, she's ging to have a hard time making the top 3. Right now too many of them are voting for Sanjaya!

So who's voting for Melinda???? I don't think preteen girls or middle-aged women would vote for her.....

I'd say a lot of people are voting for Melinda because she just has a great voice and delivers a consistently entertaining performance every week. She doesn't have off weeks. She doesn't have pitch problems. She can pick a song that makes the juges go "eh-h-h" and then tell her she did a great job anyway. She doesn't have glamor, but she sure has everything else. And she's a friend of Mandisa's. God'll getcha if you don't vote for her.
