She looks like a Carrie Underwood drag queen.  
That was mean and I hope she never sees these words. Her performance? Who cares? Maybe she and the Up With People guy can reform them.  
Alaina Woodicur?

That sucked. (re: Hopelessly Devoted to You). She was off-pitch a lot of the time.

Yeah, if I were drunk, maybe it would be good impression.

I don’t mean good as in actually good, I mean good as in she would be the coworker who the rest of you egg into going up and singing “Piece of My Heart” after you’re all on about your 4th pitcher.

OK… she’s (Alexandrea) wearing shorts with a puffy vest. I’m confused.  
Plus, she’s messing up one of my favorite songs…

Damn it, somebody’s gotta sing good soon. Is she wearing cargo shorts and high heeled boots? The Boy is says her outfit is confusing him-- stoner chick and then BAM! dominatrix boots.

Is she sick? She sounds stuffy when she talks.

Alex’s outfit was weird for that song, if that makes sense.

Are those buttons that Magic Man girl is wearing on her dress? The background singers sound 100% better than she does. It’s like she’s not even trying to sing.

I want Pauler to fall right over. It’ll make me laugh and laugh.

They’re MAGIC buttons, duh. 😃

Sadly, there is no magic in this world that could have saved her on that song.

Maybe Fox can pass Kady off to MadTV so she can do her impressions. Is that mean?

Sure this is a terrible performance by Asia’h, but I hope she stays around because dang she’s hot.

That was not good though.
