In People's latest issue, Gina's tongue stud and tattoos are on display. Do you think that's cool or a big turn off?

She had done so well, and she looked terrified during the results show. It just didn't seem right to us.

Gina performed The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You," to the delight of everyone, even Simon. It seems she's a shoe-in tonight to us.

Do you think this will give Gina a much-needed boost?

This is a big one, as she will be on the "Idol" tour now. Are you more likely to see it with her on it?

Do you think she's history? What about Haley and Sanjaya?

Randy and Paula praised Gina's rendition of "Paint it Black," but Simon ripped it. Did you think he was too hard on her? Will it hurt her chances in Wednesday's voting?

Lulu has written songs for Tina Turner and had some hits from the '60s, most famously "To Sir with Love." Peter Noone is best known as the leader of the 1960s group Herman's Hermits.

Gina on "American Idol" or Nicole on "The Apprentice"?

but Brandon didn't. Were you surprised by the vote?

Gina was not the only singer who struggled with Diana Ross' material. Was she a good choice for 'Idol' singers to showcase?

Did Gina wow you with her performance tonight of Diana Ross' "Love Child" or did you agree with the judges that it was not her best performance?

Gina is real rocker. Which song do you wish she'd belt out on the "Idol" stage?

Early on, Gina made comments about wanting to win at all costs and not caring what happens to anyone else. Will these comments cause people to vote against her as she advances in the "Idol" competition? Will you vote against her because of it?

What do you think of that?

Who’d ever think that red-streaked hair and ripped jeans would be the suggested attire for a young woman.
After being criticized for not establishing an identity by “American Idol” Judge Simon Cowell one week ago, Gina Glocksen came out Wednesday night and danced in knee-high black boots and ripped gloves and rocked with a full band.

This week the competition on "Idol" gets even more intense, as contestants are whittled from 16 to 12. Will Gina advance?

Gina Glocksen was speechless. Her eyes welled up; she rocked back and forth with her face buried in her hands. She was devastated.

The rest of the contestants looked equally stunned. “Idol” contestant Leslie Hunt was going home, as more than 30 million viewers decided that the 24-year-old Chicago contestant hadn’t performed well enough to advance to the next round.

Tonight the Idols are cut from 20 to 16. After Wednesday's performance of "Alone," will Gina be in the running at the end of the evening?
