I am just really mad cause I like Jewel to a certain degree, but I just feel that Paula really deserved to win, I mean come on "Cowboys" is so much better done than "You Were Meant for Me". I don't even understand that video, plus it looks like Jewel is about 12 years old in it!!!! I was just disappointed that Paula had to get dressed up, sit there through basically the whole show (since her category was almost dead last), and then not even get anything for it. Jewel got all her limelight. That's all my venting for now!!! Was really cool how the dude from Blackstreet played up Paula's name over everyone else's!! He must secretly have a thing for Paula!! Paula's our gal!!
