daducha +1I have to agree with you Jeb, I'm no Fantasia fan too. -
bb9insider I'd agree--I'm not a Fantasia fan---Simon's reaction to Fantasia's performance was entertaining though! -
mkat Apparently trying to channel her inner Tina Turner... but Fantasia, you are no Tina Turner. -
AdamsWorldBlog She's terrible, but from what I've heard they played her up to win because she was up against a 17 year old girl, Diana DeGarmo (sp?), who was one of these robo-contestants, born and bred to win these types of competitions, so, worried that American Idol would turn into a teeny bopper competition, they showered Fantasia with enough praise to sway voters her way. The next year they opened up auditions to anyone under 30.
