On her MySpace page, Jillian Hall responded to claims that she’s imitating Brooke Hogan with her new singing gimmick. Hall wrote in her blog, “I just wanted to drop a few lines to let you know what’s going on with me. I assume you all know that I have been doing some things a little different from what you’re use to on Smackdown. Some of you may like it and some may hate it, but I’m having a ball!!! This is the closest thing to me that you all have seen yet. I’m constantly singing backstage, and this thing kind of just happened. I love to sing, I love to wrestle and I love to entertain…it’s perfect for me! A few people asked me lately, why I am imitating Brooke Hogan? Coming straight from me, I AM NOT IMITATING OR MAKING FUN OF IN ANY WAY BROOKE HOGAN. My favorite pop star is Britney, so I get a lot of inspiration from her.”
