As you can see in the video below, girl can sing! She belted out an original song for the judges:

    Is anyone from Fox reading this? Do you know something we don't about Leneshe Young? Why was that talented, original, "can't get enough of her" girl was sent home?! I can only assume they are saving her for next year.

    I agree that Lenesha and Jamal should have made it to the top 36. I don't understand how Tatiana made it thru and the other guy with the headbands, can't remember his name and Jamal and Leneshe didn't. I think the judges got it wrong!!!! Way wrong.
