This girl has just nailed it with her first two performances. Her control of the crowd & her charisma is excellent. She is a winner!!! | ||

Sadly, Juice, talent has proven to be the kiss of death for these folks. Let's hope for the best however! | ||

I missed it. Someone should have alerted us that Clive Davis assisted in the grooming of the ladies. | ||

Hey Linda, how are you??? I'll yell at you later. This time it's ok. Simon has given her his "sympathy vote". She nailed all three of her songs & she handled The Greatest Love Of All wonderfully. When you have someone as respected & knowledgable as Clive Davis, giving real & accurate critique, these dunderheads couldn't possibly get it wrong again.......COULD THEY???? We'll see!! Honestly, these are the flattest singing folks that American Idol has ever had! Fantasia seems to be the only one who has a true emotional connection with the songs. Although Diana is singing the hell out of Don't Cry Out Loud. The performances during the verses was boring but....What a finish!!!! That was a big finish!!! | ||

FANTASIA WOW! It will be between Fantasia and Diana DiGarmo, but only if voters recognize true talent. Clive gave Fantasia the greatest props, and I'm sure she will be signed by his company. | ||

Fantasia nailed all three of her performances, regardless of the style or genre. Diana nailed her last performance. Although it was a strong performance, I hope that it won't sway folks from the OVERALL performances that Fantasia gave. Fantasia has made me a believer & if Ms London had half of her charisma, we'd be talking about her today. Fantasia has simply upped her game tremendously! | ||

I'm worried that Jasmine's going to squeak by and get to the finals. And I just don't think that out of 70,000+ auditionees, she should be in the top 3. | ||

Remember, they don't vote for talent or performance. They vote because they want a particular person to win. | ||

Jasmine was atrocious. I don't think she's as innocent as she pretends to be, she's actually quite crafty--she knows how bad she is, now that's rare for a kid her age. Fantasia went to work on all three songs, especially "Fool In Love". Wouldn't be a bit surprised if she goes home... | ||

Zebop: that's what's called working the crowd. There is something to the sympathy angle. Subconsciously it may have an effect!! | ||

Yeah Juice, that's why Jasmine stayed last week--her and those crocodile tears, I'm not moved, well she's 17 so I better not be too moved  | ||

I met Fantasia a few weeks ago and she couldn't have been any sweeter. She's had my vote right from the very start, this is what I call a STAR! | ||

Bobby!!! I have a vision!!! Listen to this one: You hook up Fantasia & Barbara Mason with a series of songs similar to Etta & Sugar Pie!!! Can you hear it Bobby???? Those girls are so sassy, the fellas would have to watch out & the ladies would love it!!! As it's my idea, I'll take 2 points!!! Juice the A&R guy!!! | ||

Jasmine Treas has been voted off of American Idol, the final is between Fantasia and Diane DiGarmo. Let's start placing our bets on whose going to win. My vote is on Fantasia. | ||

Congratulations Fantasia. She is fantastic. When Diana appeared on the first of the shows, I liked her and still do. But I think Fantasia's got it going on. Diana is a great runner up. She's young and has time to hone her skills even more. Shhhh don't tell anybody, but I got tix to see the show later this summer. They tell me I'm a bit old, but who cares! I'm looking forward to seeing Jennifer, LaToya, George, and yes, even Red (it will be in his home town) sing live. And of course, the rest of the group. The show last year was refreshing. Nobody was smoking reefer and nobody used the 'f' word. No drunken brawls in the hallway waiting for beer or bathrooms. How different! | ||

If you go to www.idolonfox.com, you will be amazed (or disgusted) to see all of the Idol merchandise they are selling. Capitalism at its best. And what in the world was that strange looking dude from Australia thinking? | ||

I wouldn't mind Fantasia winning it, but I may be disappointed again.  Don't want to get my hopes up like I have for the others. | ||

American Idol has become the Barry Manilow of TV Shows. Everybody likes some Manilow songs, but no one wants to admit it. LOL When I saw Fantasia in the first few episodes, I latched onto her and picked her to win. The way this show goes, though, it ain't about the talent, and with the way this country votes, it's just luck that she's still there(look at Jennifer, George and Latoya). I think Diana's come a long way, but she still needs a lot of polishing, and she needs to get rid of those damn giggles("tee-hee-hee, tee-hee-hee"). If all is right with the world, by next Wednesday, justice will be served and Fantasia will be the next American Idol. Jim PS: I saw the second season's tour (just wanted to see Kimberly Caldwell-very hot!). I think this year's has better talent, though. | ||

"The Barry Manilow of TV shows" ha ha ha ha ha!! Thats hilarious but true. The songs that they pick for the singers' first releases suck. They all are those syrupy "you can make it if you try" sickingly falsly positive anthems. They are oh so saccharine and watered down. Tamyra Gray was on last night and she sang two songs from her debut effort. Pleeeeease....spare me. The girl CAN sing but whoever is a&ring those projects need to be fired. And that guy who looked like a bushman from down under. errrrrgh!!! | ||

Indeed, Bobby, this is capitalism at its finest. And for that reason I buy no merchandise (seriously -- they got enuf of me in the ticket price). But I still gotta go!! The only product with a brand name on it that I'll pay for and wear is "Life is Good" clothing. Oh ... and an occasionall Patti LaBelle tee. But I hear ya! | ||

Stranger56, I agree with you completly, but Diana's giggling doesn't bother me..for God's sake she IS A TEENAGER...SHE IS 16...THAT'S WHAT 16 YEAR OLD GIRLS DO. Go Fantasia!!! | ||

Stranger56 LOL Ha ha ha!!! I feel ya! I have a teen age girl and like Diana that's what she does(giggles)..as well as talks on the phone about nothing...go to the mall...talk about boys...get on my nerves...I guess she is just doing her JOB..maybe one day she will actually get one (a job that is!)

Jim, How funny! My 13 year old loves Diana probably because they have the same giggly bubbly personality. If you came to my house at the end of the day you would be ready to pull your hair out and scream!!! IMAGINE if you will Diana...AND my daughter talking and giggling in your ear! AGHHHHHHHHH!!! Oh she likes Diana AND Fantasia! Debbie | ||

I have just watched the video of last night's UK showing of this weeks American Idol Porgrammes, a full 180 minutes and it could have been cut to 45 minutes in total! - I have never used my fast forward button so much! Here in the UK the top three and The Final is all on one nights transmission and not much longer than the usual weekly programme,so why ssssssssssstttttttrrrrreeeettt cchhh it out to three shows and then a Final! Fantasia is the most talented left now, but I still find one or two tracks ar eenough for me? LayToya London was still the Real Class! - She will have to sit and count to ten until after the Tour, until the winner and runner up get releases to even start discussions, unless Cowell and 19 Management sing her and I don't think they will! No way was this weeks show's the best ever! John | ||

Hi John, Simon publicly said that the reason why LaToya didn't win was her cold personality (or lack of) (not sure of his exact quote). He really seems not to like her. So I agree, he probably won't sign her. She is older than most of the others, so perhaps it's maturity and class that keep her quietly confident? Whatever, I hope she comes up with some significant material when she gets signed by somebody, and not some of the other junk being put out there. | ||
Vonnie (vonnie) 4-Laureate Username: vonnie Post Number: 160 Registered: 3-2004 Posted From: 205.188.116.138 |
LaToya is still a winner and will definitly be signed by a major company. She has real class and was unfairly voted off. Fantasia, IMHO has "crowd appeal", she has shown that she can connect with the audience. Her rendition of Ike & Tina's, "Fool In Love", clearly showed her showmanship. I wish the best for LaToya and Fantasia, they are both winners. |
