It's been almost a full 24 hours since Haley's elimination, and I still don't have any profound insights. Aside from week one, this was the least surprising boot of the season. It was long overdue. But every season we get the obligatory sex kitten who outlasts some moderately better singers on the basis of looks alone.
I'm kind of sad about the fact that she had to go after receiving what many fans perceived as the harshest words from judge Simon Cowell. (The comment that referred to her wearing as little clothes as possible.) I, however, think those viewers were being slightly over-sensitive. It didn't take much to realize Haley tried to secure votes with skimpy clothing. You can't honestly say she was banking on talent alone, because the instant she hit the top 12 she started donning the short shorts and low necklines.
And I don't think anything was wrong with that. If you were in a competition, and knew there was no way in hell you'd win solely by talent, wouldn't you try to carve out a niche outside singing?
You'll be missed, Haley. Everything but your singing.

you know, it's interesting that of the three ladies who remain, only jordin is pretty. and she's pretty in an unconventional, callie-from-grey's-anatomy pretty. five years ago, she wouldn't be getting a pretty vote at all.
