Re: The Girls. Our local reviewer in the newspaper had some interesting things to say about the girls:
"I don't think Paris Bennett will ever receive the wrath of the judges. Some would think this might be in part because grandmother Ann Nesby sat with cat-like eyes ready to pounce on the judges."
"Melissa McGhee might have made her way into the top two for me this week. She took on Reba McIntire's "Why Haven't I Heard from You" and brought back the sultry sound of Lindsay Cardinale of Season 4.
"Ayla Brown followed Paris in her pursuit of the older audience with Celine Dion's 'I Want You To Need Me'. The reaction from the judges was altogether different. They liked her complete turnaround from sporty tomboy to the softer singer she is becoming. She was one who made me re-evaluate my thinking."

Funny, I found that comparison also which is why she is off my list of favs. It is funny that for some reason I cannot get into her voice or Lindsay's.
I agree with the gist of this point, except I think it's Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the rest of their class of pimps who are ready to pounce.
As for grandma and whatever other adults have overtrained Paris and turned her into a 60-year-old in a teenage body, they should back off and let the kid be a kid.
