Honestly, I wasn't impressed by Fantasia or Diana. They are good singers, don't get me wrong, but certainly not great. Just my opinion.

Other than singing at the beginning of the show, was LaToya on any other part of the show???

There was a medley recapping the season in which all of the Top 12 sang. I can't remember if LaToya had a solo in that or not.

I agree with you Jen. Both of them should have been voted off a long time ago and never made it to the top two.

Both of the finalists sang a quarter-tone flat...but Fantasia definitely had a better vibrato and "coloratura" control.

Neither of them impressed me with any sort of stage presence at all...nothing to arrest the audience's attention for more than a minute, if that.

I could see them warbling in an off-street bistro, but not major record deals, that's for sure and for certain. :roll:

Let's see the past winners are Kelley Clarkson and the curly haried guy, Clay and Rueben, and anyone else and how are the others doing so far.

He's my man! :lol: :wink:

I would've been happy for either one because I think that they are nice. I preferred Diana's voice over Fantasia's. Either way, I don't think that either one compares to Clay! :)

Since I didn't watch enough to get to know all their names, was it the "three divas" who sang together on "I Made It Through The Rain?" I know Fantasia was the last one singing, but I'm not sure about the other two.
