Jordin is so cute. And she’s belting the hell out of that song. I like her better than Lakisha. ---

I am frightened for Sandy. Feeling real angst here. Did you see that little girl crying? That’s what’s keeping Sandy in this. Good show! ---

Well Sanjaya is cute… but the song is not the best of the night. Although a fun beat. And this song sounds like Flaming Lips or some recent band than a British Invasion in the 60s! ---

Aw, poor kid. he’s going to get clobbered by the judges. Talk about inauthentic. ---

He gets worse every week. Bring out the hook. At least he tried. ---

Wow, a different side to Sanjaya. At least he’s having fun with it. ---

OK, let’s just be upfront about it: San. Jaya. Must. DIE! Nobody does that to The Kinks. _ **NOBODY.** _ Son of a bitch! He’s so bad, I’m seeing spots. However … I would sit here laughing and drooling if he done “Lola” instead. That would have been fitting in _so many_ sick, sad ways. _Awwwwwwwwwww_ … why did they have to trot out the little kid and make me feel _bad_ about what I just said? _Jerks._ ---

Sandy was absolutely adorable tonight. He’ll be back to make me anxious next week. ---

Aww…c’mon…I liked it…wish he would have hugged the little girl during the song, but he did seem to acknowledge her briefly.Sanjaya will be on next week. ---

You know, I think Sanjaya’s performance tonight wasn’t half bad. He can go out with his head held high after this one. Sure, he’s not up to the level of the other performers, but this gave some credibility to his placement in the finals. ---

I like this interpretation of the song. And the outfit goes with it. I hope she stays next week. ---

I’m surprised it’s taken this long for someone to do a Stones song. Gina’s not the one to do “Paint it Black,” though. No balls poseur. ---

First time watching this season. I must be on a completely different wavelength than the judges: I thought the girl Simon dismissed as “too cabaret” was great – she made me sit up and actually pay attention to the TV for a minute. Then I thought the kid with the long hair (Sanjaya…?) was terrible, and was shocked that the judges gave him good marks!! :eek: At least the consensus here seems to be that he’s gotta go. ---

[QUOTE=Biggirl] I like Sandy’s performance better than I like Gina’s. And that’s a shame because I wanted to like it. [/QUOTE] I have to agree. I love Gina, I love this song…but this performance was agonizing. I’m disappointed.
