"To anyone who have problems with how the judges talk about Fantasia: Could it be that they like her so much because she's that much better than everyone else? If I were in the judges' position I wouldn't be complimenting anyone who didn't deserve to be there."
High Five, Mike. I mean really, do people think Randy and Simon (Paula I don't know) would give standing ovations to somebody who sang like crap? I think people who don't like Fantasia don't like what I'll basically call old style southern soul singers--and I won't say what else. They wouldn't have like Aretha or Tina Turner or any of the other soul divas if they heard them before they were "discovered." Tina Turner wasn't considered beautiful until the '80s. In the '60s, reviewers would bash her for looking like a man. The only man I know with legs like that is RuPaul--and he can't sing like that.
Mike's Post 2
"We can laugh at Carmen and Julia (who does have a good voice, it gets ruined by her obvious stagefright), but we can also laugh at the crap that was Leah, Matt, JPL, John, Jasmine (in recent weeks), and Camille."
Or we can cringe and howl, as I did, lol.

"Well man I think Fantasia deserves the praise.
I guess people should really dislike Michelle and Sasha since they get praise most of the time. Maybe it's because presentation wise they are better than everyone else."
Well said, Lavendar. If you don't like the style, say you don't like the style, but enough with the, "Fantasia thinks she's Miss All That and she isn't!" Hey, baby. Win or lose, she'd definitely ALL that!

Oh, goody. Another poster as naughty as I am.
BTW, about Christina Christian, when she performed on AI, she was sex kitten city. Four dancers, all "baby, baby"--nothing like the Christina who had to go to the hospital during AI-1 because she got so stressed out. I don't remember her talking about a CD, but I defer to Toni's AI expertise. I thought she was just performing in Europe and hoping to get a record deal. Or maybe that's just what I thought her performance was worth. Basically she was just a much, much, MUCH less talented version of the ten-million Janet Jackson/Brittany clones. If she does have a CD, I don't see her selling any--I mean many

Go 'Tasia! Go 'Tasia! Love those Lips!
I think this year was more diverse in singing styles... but I think that AI 2 had a lot of great singers... the top 5 were brilliant (even Josh, because COUNTRY RULES--it's been a few days since I mentioned him. Click his banner so I get more points at the street team site! LOL
