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.

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.
