Agree. Jordin Sparks had heart. She was about as young as Lauren, sweet as could be, and did put her real self into her performances. Haley is not as genuine as she needs to be. That look on her face when she gets criticism is not sadness; it’s some kind of resentment. It’s weird. I just don’t get a bead on a “real” Haley, like you can on the other 3 contestants, who are what they seem to be.
I personally can't warm up to Haley either. She's all about herself and doing what it takes to win; JMHO. Maybe kids don't see it as much as older people do. I tend to not enjoy the singing of people who don't feel the music and/or haven't lived what they're singing about.
They all have good voices. They might have benefitted more from living an unsheltered life and having some real world experiences instead of lessons on how to sound and act like idols. I'm not sure I'd by any of this year's CDs or go to their concerts.

Haley looks and acts like a young street hooker.
I cannot imagine how she has lasted this far; must be lots of similar trash watching?
