girls just wanna have fun?

Is another Clay/Ruben-inspired finale in the works this season? From the looks of Hollywood's female contestants, maybe. Tonight's Hollywood round kicked off with six-person group of girls getting the boot, including curly-haired Jory, a Canadian contestant I rooted for early this season. Oh well.
Fortunately, Jory's elimination was followed by...CHARO!!! Yes, Perla's back, this time with her own power sequence pumping her Shakira-esque personality. We got to see her in an airport posing for fan pictures. Watch out, William Hung.
Anyway, Perla got the OK, with a "personality over talent" disclaimer from Simon. That, of course, was followed by the inevitable tears. At least her hips still don't lie.
But hey...it could have been worse. She could have been Rachel, the Army chick who kissed her boyfriend's picture during the auditions but got a "no" in Hollywood. Also booted? "Rocky" workout chick Porcelana, daddy issues Sarah and Ashlyn, who got a second chance from Simon in the initial phase.
Kind of disappointing. I thought she'd get farther, considering how much Seacrest hyped her audition drama.
Also denied? Nicole Turner. I don't think we'd seen her before, but tonight she approached the panel and slaughtered some song her mom picked for her. She got the "no," but then her mom approached the judges and apologized for choosing her song.
Looks like somebody needs to head back to fifth grade.
Which other girls are hanging around? It's hard to tell, but we do know small-town girl Baylie Brown is in, as well as Kellie Pickler wannabe Jamie Lynn.
Stick around.
