Well, color me surprised. When I saw Hillary, Gina, and Phil in the bottom three, I was certain Phil would be the one going home. Not necessarily because I thought he should but because the judges were pretty tough on him last night, particularly Simon. My next guess would have been Hillary who didn’t even get critiqued last night; all she got were comments on her great legs. But instead we say goodbye to Gina. Maybe it was the stud in her tongue that did her in.
Best wishes, Gina. Tough to sing “Smile” when your heart really is breaking, but you did a good job.

Whoa, surprised me too. I liked Gina and thought she could have a future as a rocker. Maybe she still will.
I was also sorry to see Gina go, and I think Simon’s criticism of her hurt her. (Peculiar, his criticism of Sanjaya keeps Sanjaya there…) I thought the right people were in the bottom three, but I felt Haley or Phil should have gone before Gina. Two of my co-workers and I think Haley’s making it off her looks only (we find her voice weak), and Phil has no “stage presence.” I didn’t like looking at that ring in Gina’s tongue when she sang, but I could have overlooked it if she had stayed.
I was stunned. I really like Gina & hope she goes on to much success. In this week’s People, it says the producers told her to take the stud out, which she did for a while. I was fighting tears when she sang her last song…ironic, don’t you think? I’m glad Phil got to stay (singing for his wife!!! Awesome!!!), and I too think Haley got to stay b/c of her legs/looks, not necessarily her talent.
I like Gina … I thought Phil was a goner but (I guess) America spoke 🙁
