Lauren was a wreak, hard to watch a 16 year old go through that. i'd prefer Scotty to leave next but i think the redneck contingent likes him over Lauren.

Haley's vocal sucked, couldn't even tell which song it was, just pure yelling lol. Hope she sticks around though, Lauren can go home.

watching it live i thought Haley sang the first number really well. when they did the recap at the end (and after JLO made her comments) i thought it was a bit screammy

i get that the show and the guest mentors are all about publicity and marketing and hype but i really found gaga to be worthless last night. other than to shock america her presence couldn't have been more useless. In practice James sang his song with a piano accompaniment that sounded like a weak lounge act and gaga was trying to get him to move like Elvis. then he comes out and does a rocker performance instead, the complete opposite of his mentoring session. :roll:

Yeah..but he did mention he was going for a Bad Company sound, but all they ever have in the practice is a piano. It did sound very Bad Company-ish - loved it.

Gaga was painful to look at, VERY painful. But she seems like smart cookie.

I saw her on the Larry King show just before he called it quits. I watched because she is definitely a freak and I was curious as to what she was all about. As Warp Daddy stated she is a packaging and marketing whiz and as SkiFanE stated she is one smart cookie. I came away with my assumptions of her shattered.

I also saw an Interview that was insightful . I expected her to be a real "lightweight" but she is anything but and came across as someone who has good grasp on who she is and how to market herself with both edginess and a sense of how to be successful in the industry

. As you said my assumptions were shattered
