I"m going to get a lot of hisses for this, but I didn't/don't like Gina. I'm glad that she is gone. The reason for not liking her was not because she doesn't have talent (she does), but because she is a snob. She is full of herself, and from the way she acted towards other girls during Hollywood week. I gathered her to be a very unkind person.

but that doesn't fit with how upset the others were when she was kicked this week.

I learned seasons ago to not trust the way the editing depicts people in the hollywood rounds.

they totally ruined Kimberly Caldwell's chances in season 2 by making her look like a ##### to Julia in Hollywood.

oh for g**'s sake.

that obscenity was bi#ch.

well yeah I understand how the fans could be disappointed. I'm sorry that their idol didn't make it. As for the editing. The editors didn't put the words in Gina's mouth. Gina did. Editors just caught it on tape.

What did she say? I missed alot of the Hollywood part of the show so I missed some of that. One thing I have found on this board is that it doesn't matter who you like or dislike on the show, someone will disagree. I was taken to school because I made the comment about disliking Sanjaya! I happen to like Gina but not everybody does(My wife can't stand her!) Welcome to the boards Crazie!

Well when they seperated into the group thing. There was a girl from Colombia that had made it and there was kind of a language barrier problem going on, and Gina just acted like a wench and said some mean hateful comments. I dunno her whole persona just came off really not appealing to me. Yeah I understand that. If we all liked the same things it would be a boring world. I will never degrade anyone for liking someone though. I will however state my opinion in a tactful manner. Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be here.

Maybe I'm glad I didn't see it. I think that would have put me off a bit too.

wow, I totally don't remember that.

it would have put me off too, if I'd interpreted it the same way.

if there were an easy to find that on-line somewhere (and we know it's probably out there somewhere!) I'd like to see it.

I really am trying to find this. I struck out on YouTube, now I'm looking for written accounts.

it was Perla, I guess?

"Meanwhile, Gina Glocksen (aka Callie O'Malley) is stuck with Perla in her group. Tempers flare because Perla has limited singing range. And her bubbly personality doesn't help her when she sings off-key."

http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/02/14/american-idol-hollywood-round/

then part of a very very very long blog on the episode:

"Midnight, they head to the hotel for the total social breakdown that makes Hollywood so much fun. Another group is Gina, Perla, and girls named Melissa and Jessica, one of whom is the lonelygirl one. Gina complains that "one of us" isn't as talented as the others with harmonies, and that bothers her, and we see her trying to teach Perla the basics of music. Gina Don't Lie, dog. I know she comes off a little harsh, but I've liked her since last year, and I always like the harsh professional girl every year on group night, so I'm fine with all of this. "

http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/articles/content/a12827/index-7.html

oh and then this is a continuation, from the same blog, on the next page ....

"0330, Gina and her group trying to get Perla together. At some point I think Perla suggests that they switch songs, and lonelygirl15 almost spits on her. She's like, "I have it down! Lyrics, harmonies, choreography! The only reason I am awake is because you are an idiot!" Perla is not feeling this, doesn't understand that she's the problem, because that's how you end up with a Perla: the ongoing feeling that she's not the problem, when in fact most of the time I imagine that she is. It's a vicious cycle. Gina's like, "Perla. When we all stop and stare at you, you get mad. When you ask for help or to tell you when you're off, we try, and you get mad. You are full of #####, sweetheart, and I'm at a loss." Perla denies, denies, denies. She's like literally too dumb to even have this simple conversation. Gina finally just laughs into the camera: "We're not...going to be friends, after tomorrow." I was over Perla about a minute after the first time I saw her, so congratulations on getting up to speed, Gina."

And then go here to read the long recounting of the actual group performance. I'd totally forgotten about all this.

http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/articles/content/a12827/index-9.html

this is the punchline:

"Perla does her level best to, I guess, screw up the harmonies as horribly as possible. Why not just tell her to stay quiet on those parts? Anyway, Simon detects that she is the problem and tells her she's the only one of the four that is going home today."

Honestly, it didn't come across to me as Gina being mean so much as Gina being down to business, and after several hours of practice and the entire group trying to help one person get with the program, everyone getting frustrated with Perla.

I see what your saying, but being business minded is also using tact to get a point across. What Gina chose to do in problem solving is a quick way to chaos.

You can only say something "nicely" to an obtuse person so many times before "being nice" becomes foolish.
