LOL, gotta love devil's advocates I agree. The judges call it constructive criticism, but this is the Final Four! She doesn't need that kind of constructive criticism in front of the 10 million viewers (or whatever). I really think at this stage the judges have certain people they don't want moving on, and they deliver their comments accordingly. Randy even said it! When Ryan asked who he thought won the first round, he called it a tie between everyone BUT Haley! How do you respect that if you're her?

If I remember correctly, Crystal Bowersox didn't take any crap from the judges either. She respectfully disagreed. And she made it to No. 2.

I think the one thing she learned through this is that getting P.O.'d at the judges is a good thing. Each of the last two weeks, she's followed it up with the song of the night -- IMO

However, my wife disagrees -- she says Haley was disrespectful and hopes she gets voted off because of it. We'll see...

I'm just bummed I work nights and can't vote!
