Plz she woulda been too similar to Jennifer and Yolanda. The point was that they got women of different genres: Pop, R&B, Gospel, Country and Indie Pop. Fantasia would have been unessesary aand certainly Yolanda and Jennifer are a step up.

I think the Grammys wanted a diverse group of females to do the tribute.

I have heard the tribute should have left off Florence Welch and Martina McBride. I don't agree, although I would have preferred Carrie Underwood or LeAnn Rimes from the world of country. McBride was not good on "Until You Come Back To Me".

If they wanted soul singers only, then they could have gotten Fantasia, to go along with Hudson and perhaps added Blige or Evans.

They wanted gospel - Adams

r&b/soul - Hudson

pop - Aguilera

rock - Welck

country - McBride

Can you imagine if they had Barrino and Aguilera trying to outrun and soar/wail over each other?
