The twist has nothing to do with JH... they judges praise her now, but watch season3. She was treated as fodder back then. Only Dreamgirls and the Oscar changed their tune. I seriously doubt they’d have saved her at the time.
This is all about Hicks, Chris, and season5. (although, he was final four boot, so the magic power wouldn’t have worked anyway)
Absolutely agree. Simon still is not over it hence his negative Taylor Hicks comment the other night.
