I think Diana is so cute and I loved her from the beginning, but Fantasia needs to win this! She is just so amazing, and she really makes any song she sings. Last night, when Diana sang the song that was written for them, it was a boring, unforgettable song. Fantasia turned it into a GREAT one. I never realized how much power the singers have over the songs until Fantasia's performance brought the whole audience to tears.

Anyway, I love Diana, but I really hope Fantasia wins tonight.

Fantasia! woot!

The show will lose whatever credibility it has left if Fantasia doesn't win.

The first year, there was a big disparity between Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson, but at least Guarini fit the image of someone who can survive on a combination of looks and voice.

The second year, both finalists were the right picks.

This year, Diana has a good voice but she's nowhere as good as Latoya and doesn't have looks to explain herpopularity. Stonger voice than Justin, yes, but overall a more lopsided contest, with Fantasia a clear winner.

It's bad enough that Jennifer Hudson and Latoya didn't make top 3 but it would be a slap in the face for the strongest singer standing not to win.

Check out the American Idol message boards, that's where all the hatred and vile is spewing from...www.idolonfox.com. Some of it is shocking, but after a moment or two, it only confirms the type of world that we are living in. Some things have changed for the better, but when it comes to stereotypes and generalizations, we as a nation have a long way to go. Funny it took a tv show to really demonstrate that.

wow....i havent been touched by a perfomance on tv since mary j did "no more drama" during the grammys...


Fantasia WORKED it OUT during the final show.....Sure the song is an uptenth version of "man in the mirror" but with her voice, it WORKS!! this will be the first american idol artist I will buy....

for all the naysayers who crap on this type of show i say this, GET FUCKING OVER IT!!

Tina Turner would be nothing if she didnt get the chance to perform for Ike during a talent night...and thats all American Idol is....an overblown talent night....

but this year it blew Fantasia to a much larger audience then any gospel tinged r&b singer would have ever recieved...


and for that i am going to forever be thankful for....FANTASIA ROCKS!!! headbang

funny also that it takes a tv show's message board to demonstrate that some apply the ignorance and stupidity of a few to a whole nation of diverse people. shrug

yeah, i really don't understand what people's huge problem with this show is. it's entertainment. and it's a presentational version of the way the music industry works anyway. minus the blowjobs to agents, managers, lawyers, executives, etc.

hmmm, maybe that's how AI will top itself next year hmmm

i only hope that the corporate idiots don't ruin her. You know that they own Fantasia now, for hte next year or so. They will have full authority to tell her how to dress, where to go, how to act, how and what to sing, etc. shrug
