TOP 8 GIRLS!!!!!

I'm posting the night of, will you look at that!!! :)

Now there's a title deserving of exclamation points! The girls definitely brought it!

JORDIN - She's showing a different side tonight! I liked it - she showed she can do many different types of music. She's not "stuck in a rut". I felt just like Randy...it was WAY better than any of the boys! It's a completely different show tonight!

SABRINA - A really good performance. There were a couple of *iffy* spots, but she did well. Ryan even helped her with the finger numbers! :)

ANTONELLA - A little blah, boring. She came through toward the end, but it was just okay. The judges being so negative with her will galvanize people to vote for her - she'll have higher numbers than ever.

HALEY - She did well. I don't know why the judges were going off about her song choice - that seems to be her. Simon was pretty rude. I'm not sure about her chances for the top 12...

STEPHANIE - Good job. Some of the *held* notes fell off tune or something. I cringed a couple of times. Paula saying "darn near flawless"??? Give me a break. Talk about trying to help someone she likes. Is she one to beat? I don't think so.

LAKISHA - I don't think there's a song or artist off limits to her! She did a great job! She seemed nervous for the comments. It was nice of Simon to rebut his rude comments about her wardrobe from last week.

GINA - I really like *her*!!! Great job! I agree, it seemed to really be her genre. I still like her variety in all types of music though. She definitely deserves top 12.

MELINDA - She's. so. awesome.!!!!!! Pure talent. WOW. What more can I say?? She has not yet ceased to amaze, and I don't think she ever will.

TOP - CHOICES CHOICES!!! MELINDA, GINA, LAKISHA, JORDIN in that order.

BOTTOM - ANTONELLA, HALEY, STEPHANIE with Haley and ? leaving...

I'm so excited for the TOP 12!!!!!!
