Top 12 Performance: Gina Glocksen

"You gotta pronunciate."
-Diana Ross, March 13, 2007

Gina seems intent on keeping her promise of maintaining her "edge," so she's rockin' out on "Lovechild", a song about being a bastard. Somehow, though, it just isn't as much fun as singing a song about being a bastard should be. She's straining to hit the notes toward the end, and the whole thing is just kinda blaaaaah. Like Simon said, it was middle of the road...and we all know what happens to middle-pack performances in the early rounds (paging Vanessa Olivarez and Amy Adams). Is it possible we've seen the last of Gina?

Grade: B-
