The contestants from Savannah were apparently:
Taylor Bahin who cited Haley as her favorite contestant and defended her by saying some of Haley's critics mistook "confidence" for having an "attitude."
Brielle Von Hugel who A2H notes was on AI last year and in the same group as Pia during Group Week . "She said Haley is an inspiration to her."
Speaking of being an inspiration, other observers have noted there seem to be more performers auditioning this year that have a jazzy feel.
