I'm so disappointed this season.  I think they're still a talented bunch with a lot of potential, but I think no one really kept up with my expectations.  I feel they're either trying to hard or overdoing the singing...  I wish they would try to perform or singing straight up or sincerely, instead of "thinking" how they should sing or perform.  I noticed this is the common comments from the mentors.  I'm most disappointed with Jessica.  If she would just sing...  My husband told me Jessica's favorite/idol is Jennifer Hudson.  And now I think she sounds so much like her.  I love Jennifer, but for me she tends to oversing (very bombastic).  Was it Diddy (can't remember exactly) who told Jessica that he didn't believe her (what she's singing), and she did better when she tried to sing to him and try to be more sincere.  Selfishly, this might be a good thing for me though, so I don't feel like I have to watch religiously, as I hardly ever have the time nowadays.  lol.

And sorry, but I didn't like Haley's performance.  I liked her in their season, but I don't think she has improved much.  Maybe when she gets to go out more and promote her single/album, she can get more exposure and practice.
