voting tips from another board...

READ THEM


Tonight's Voting Rules:


#1. There are very strict rules for block voting tonight Diana fans. Vote Smart rather than voting hard. If you place a huge number of calls tonight they will consider it block voting and your votes will not count. Block voting would be "using mechanical devises" (which I am sure most of you do not use), or any substantial number of votes coming from the same phone number, i.e. 4000 votes in one hour, etc.

#2. Text messaging is the best way to vote. (see voting rule #3)

#3. Do not tie up lines. Hang up the phone as soon as you hear the maching thanks you for the vote. If you listen to the whole message you are only tying up the lines for other Diana voters.

#4. People can get through almost as soon as they start recapping the show. The first two hours are busier than last too. But we all know Fantasia has the media, judges, and best odds to her favor. Diana needs all the votes she can get.

#5. DO NOT CHECK FANTASIA'S LINES. YOU ARE JUST VOTING AGAINST DIANA BY DOING THAT.

#6. Online votes DO NOT COUNT.

Randy said that if he had to vote, he'd vote Fantasia... and Paula said the simple straight forward "Fantasia!"

[David]

ooooo the stage looks nicer :D

and they both look great tonight :)

[David]

Diana singing 1st- - - "I Believe"

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Ok.. Im missing all of this beause we cant get Fox in yet.. so SPOIL ME people!!!

As for the voting tips.. yeah.. dont check Fantasias line. They did that last year with Ruben :rolleyes:.

Fantasia's singing SUmmertime... well you know the judges are gonna be all YEAH! DAWG! THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

I wish they all sang new songs. I like Dont Cry Outloud, but she already did it, I was hoping for a different blow-out performance. I wonder if anyone will have an impact on the media like Clay did last year with BOTW.

hmmmm maybe its just me, but i think i saw Amy Adams in the audience, and it looks black.

Diana's 1st performance
Randy- It's hard to sing Whitney, it's hard to sing Mariah.. Celine, but you do them! (something like that)
Paula- I feel like a proud parent, seeing little Diana here (something like that)
Simon- You sang that really well. The only thing i have to say is that you're singing about swinging trees, flying, and going across lakes, but you're only 16. a 50 year old should be singing it (oooo Tamyra)

Diana and Fantasia look great, and they're both wearing black. Diana's hair is curled, not straightened. Diana is very very very happy tonight :)

She has 3 numbers
1866IDOLS01
1866IDOLS03
1866IDOLS05

[David]

okay now. Fantasia 2nd...

they're showing journey videos.. very good videos. :) (i forgot to mention Diana's video earlier)

but anyways Fantasia... she's singing "All My Life" by Kci and JoJo. One of my favorite songs of all time.

but with fantasias performance... it was good, but i think the background vocals were a little too much, and there were too many "yeah yeah yeahs". it was still good for a good song.

Randy- "I didnt like the arrangement, you were loud but the band was all quiet and stuff"

Paula- "This is where you stand out as an amazing performer. You grab the audience in a chokehole"

Simon- "You're very lucky you're singing 2 other songs, because that was a complete mess"

Yeah Fantasia's it was good it wasnt her best, but it was still good! Diana 's is still the best

[David]

Yaaaaaay Diana is singing "No More Tears" again!!!!!!!

[David]

great again!

Randy- You're trying to win this arent you! That was great

Paula- Ditto
Diana- Thank you Ms. Paula

Simon- Haha Ms. Paula. You sang great, the dancing was hideous. Pageant- like. You could win tonight, singing great!!
Diana- Oh yeah i gotta work on that

SCORE!

Think odd!!!!!

1866IDOLS01 ----- 1866IDOLS02 -------- 1866IDOLS03

[Cactus Jack]

That was awesome from Diana!



Paula stole my catchphrase though ;) :lol:

[David]

2nd song- Fantasia--- "Summertime"

red dress -- sounds better than the 1st one. Great :D

Randy- You're back, that was like a master class

Paula- You'll never bore the audience, you're always commanding (or something like that)

Simon- You're the best contestant we've ever had

[David]

[David]

Diana 3rd song- Dont Cry Out Loud

Randy- you started a little rocky, and it was a little pitchy, and something happened in the middle

Paula- you're still wonderful. something did happen in the middle, but oh well.

Simon- he said something along the lines of 'you shouldnt redo an already-brilliant performacne unless u do it as well as Fantasia did with Summertime'

errrrrrr. i thought it was AWESOME!!!!! what the heck. oh well, its us voting!

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Ohhh wow thanks for the updates!!!!!!! Now Ima vote for a lil bit.

Well yea, since we moved we have DirectTV and the area we're in doesnt get Fox yet until June 10th. :cuss: I had been going to Amandas to watch them the past 2 weeks, but not tonite. Grr.


And Diana got good reviews!!! WAAAAAAHOOOOOOO :dance:

[Krisalicious]

OMFG. Fantasia is so gonna win. :angryfire :soapbox: the judges kissed her ass WAY too much tonight. I mean, sure, there's sucking up to your favorite...but omfg, on All My Life...SHE DIDN'T EVEN SING LIKE HALF OF THAT DAMN SONG. For the majority of it, it was the background gospel singers, and all she contributed to it was her damn yeah yeah yeah's. Ugh, thank GOD for Simon for calling her out on that one, cuz if not, then I'd definitely say this show is rigged. And it might have just been me, but Fantasia's "I Believe" sounded much longer than Diana's....ok..anyway...</end rant>

So here's what I thought tonight:

Diana:
- I Believe: Stunning. I wish she would already release that damn song and call it her own.

-No More Tears: Amazing as well...even better than the first time.

-Don't Cry Out Loud: OMG. She started off amazing. It was flawless, and her voice sounded 10 x more powerful than it did the first time she sang it...but then omg towards the end when she missed that note...aaaaaaaaahhhhh. And of course, the judges dwell on that. She sang like 95% of it great, and because of one note, they put her down. And of course, Miss Fantasia here can sing 80% of a song suckishly, and they praise her. Go figure.




Fantasia:
- All My Life: see above...

-Summertime: Good...good strategy on her part for picking that song since Randy officially named it "The best performance on any American Idol season".

-I Believe: It was good...


Well, now I'm off to go dial 1866-436-5701, 1866-436-5703, and 1866-436-5705 until I get carpal tunnel syndrome. :wave:


SEACREST, OUT.

SEACREST, OUT. i agree, Fantasia's 1st song was not good at all, but still Paula is all nice to her, while Diana's "Dont Cry Out Loud", 100x better, gets criticised. Ahhhhh. Off to dialing! Diana picks up the phone!

[-*Forever*-]

The show was amazing. Diana stole it.

Of course, everyone else loved Fantasia... but honestly, I thought tonight was one of her worst nights.

I'm not gonna waste time ranting. I'm gonna go vote. Even though my sister is doing it for me right now...

AND AMY :woohoo:

Its an old fashion 50s princess phone with the numbers going around so needless to say.. its a pain to dial, but well worth it.:D Though I must admit.. I accidently hit 06 instead of 05, but luckily it was busy.:D

[Vegas Girl]

I don't understand why you all worship Diana. That last song was PITCHY. Not just tonight, but week after week, Fantasia is clearly the better singer.

Anyways, Diana was wonderful tonight. I loved the first two songs. I thought she did good on the last one, but it wasn't her best. I don't think it was nearly as bad as the judges made it seem. They're all so biased, it's not even funny. But Simon cracked me up tonight. "It sounds like a song a 50 year old should sing! How many lakes have you swam across?"

None of my votes are going through. :(

[°Bubbly Blonde°]

ALL I CAN SAY IS FANTASIA BETTER WIN...People can say whatever they want but Fantasia was the best tonight. Diana was alright, but not in the same class, or even the same school, as Fantasia, as someone said in USA Today. And NO, the judges were NOT kissing Fantasia's ass, did you not hear them criticizing her 1st song, which I admit wasnt that good, but her last 2 songs TOTALLY made up for it! It's not like the judges didnt PRAISE Diana for some of her less-than-amazing performances. OMG.. when she started crying I almost started to cry. :crying:

They barely criticized her first song...Randy and Paula had to be all like "you're still amazing!" or whatever they said. At least Simon had the decency to be honest.

[°Bubbly Blonde°]

No, Randy said it was bad, I just got done watching it on tape....and Paula always says nice things almost no matter what so that's no suprise...

Aww :( I've been voting since the show ended, and I got through 30 times for Diana. But then after that, NONE. I've been taking a break from voting since around 10:15...but hopefully when I start up again I'll be able to get through more.

[G-Force Glockstar]

Hey everybody, did you like it that all of the other Ameircan Idols were out in the audience? I thought it was cool! :D

The lines were too busy, so I couldn't vote. :(

I'm gonna buy both Diana and Fantasia's CD's! :D

[Krisalicious]

Okay, I'm on a break now. But for the record, from 9-10:15, I got through 30 times. Then, from 11:03-11:23, I got through 70 times in a row. So that's 100 total so far from me!

[*InThisMoment*]

After tonight, it was more obvious then ever as to who is the best singer of the two. Fantasia was great. I like Diana, but tonight she was just blah. :/ Anyway, no matter who wins this thing, I think Fantasia is the American Idol this season. I really hope Fantasia wins, because she deserves it the most, IMO. Both of them are good, Diana just wasn't as good as Tasia tonight.

[Krisalicious]

Ah I'm done for the night. 150 times, and now my left hand feels cramped up lol.

[lau]

I watched the finale as neither a Diana or a Fantasia fan. I based my voting on my perception of tonight's performances. Here are my thoughts:

-"I Believe" is a terrible song. I would not buy the single if either of them released it. The opening was not strong for Diana and Fantasia's gravelly voice wasn't suited for long sustained notes. Diana sang the song better than Fantasia, but Fantasia had the better performance.

-"All My Life" was terrible. I couldn't stand it. The background singers did all the singing and Fantasia just added her "yeah yeah"s.

-"Summertime" wasn't as good as the first time. I wish both contestants would have sang all new songs for the finale. I guess the repeat can never live up to the original. Also, I don't think Fantasia was the best contestant ever. Still, good overall.

-"Don't Cry Out Loud" was okay, but once again, it did not live up to the previous performance. However, Diana's other song was strong.

-I don't like how the judges crowned Fantasia the winner. It was almost enough to drive me to vote for Diana, but after tonight's show, I believe Fantasia should win and will win the title and that's my fearless prediction.

[¤I Love Clay Aiken¤]

Ok I voted for a complete total tonight of 1 hour and 22 minutes and with that I got in 227 votes. YAY! Given, it wasnt for the full four hours, but ugh. Three hours was torture for me last year.. Im just lucky I lasted as long tonight. I hope it pays off. :-/

[Vegas Girl]

What I like better about Fantasia, besides her voice, is her attitude. After each terrific performance, she almost looks "surprised" that she did that well and/or the audience's reaction. Much more humble than Diana. Fantasia gives a sincere, "Thank you, Randy" (or whoever) to each judge. Diana gives a quick "Thank you very much"...it sounds very canned.

I had never seen Diana's first audition before. :barf:

She thought she was SOOOO cute. Simon told her she wasn't.

Diana needs to bring it down a couple notches. She has major attitude.

[Cactus Jack]

I loved Fantasia's last perofrmance, but still I like Diana better!


And wow, PAUL ANKA? He was awesome! That guys been around since 1957 when he was 16, Diana's age:eek: And his first hit was actually called "Diana"

[-*Forever*-]

I voted two hours and 5 minutes. Well, my sister actually did an hour. But altogether, we got 250.

No, I'm not the only one who feels this way. Others I've talked to have said "she has a major tude", "she acts like she's already a star", "she looks like a phony", etc.

[Brent88]

I just want to say

GO DIANA!!!! :happyface :D

Diana needs to bring it down a couple notches. She has major attitude. Actually, I a lot of the reason why I don't like Fantasia (besides the Macy Gray sound) is because she used to be rude to the judges. At the very begining of the competition she would talk back to Simon. I forget what she said but it started with something like "Well, Simon..." I have to say she has gotten much better with that over the past weeks.

I dont understand why people are like "oh, look she just said something back to Simon, this girl has SUCH an attitude!" I dont see how you can say that's an attitude, she does it half-jokingly. Diana, on the other had, does seem to have an attitude though...

What they are saying is that the winner got 51%, the loser 49%

[Krisalicious]

Quick question...really important...

When they come back, are they announcing, or will there be one more break?

I'm trying to think of what happened last year, but I'm way too nervous so I can't remember....


again like I said, it's really important lol

Congratulations to Fantasia. They were both great singers. Good luck to both! :)

Apparently the vote was close, although Ryan didn't say how close. 65 million cast.

THAT. WAS. GREATNESS.


:woohoo: I'm not even a huge Fantasia fan, but she was my favorite out of the two, and I was overjoyed that my favorite of the two won. o_O I thought for sure Diana was gonna win, when Ryan said Fantasia I squealed! :lol: They're both good, so good luck to Diana, also.



:D Woooo.

[~Tropical Punch 19~]

I'm sure the judges are happy. I'm not. Did you see the red carpet thing on E!? Almost everyone/celebrity interviewed voted or wanted Fantasia to win. With an execption of a few. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: I won't be buying her cd. She gives me a headache.

[°Bubbly Blonde°]

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I screamed when Ryan said Fantasia!!! I had a few doubts whether or not Fantasia would win, but I think I knew she would, because she did that "I Believe" single soooooo well. OMG, Im soooo happy!

[*InThisMoment*]

This has been my first time of watching a whole season of American Idol, and I'm happy it ended so good, with Tasia winning. She may not have been my favorite, but she really deserves this. I'm so happy. :D

[db108108]

On "Live" this afternoon, Ryan said the margin of difference was about 1%.

As for some of these Diana fans, don't begrudge Fantasia of her win. Diana is great, yes, but Fantasia is even better. She's been my favorite since the auditions and I'm so happy she won. I really don't know anybody personally who was rooting for Diana.

I knew a few who were, but they changed their minds last night after seeing Fantasia peform "I Believe".

Mmmhmm...oh, I'm so sure every single person there wanted Fantasia to win. No duh, they show the Fantasia people....and right when they made Diana sing the "winners single" and let Fantasia sing a new song, that right there was the giveaway. Of course, Fantasia wouldn't sing the same song...cuz she'd be singing it at the end...when she won. :rolleyes:

:nod: Yeah. Besides, Clay Aiken proved that runner-ups can be just as successful or more than the winners. I don't think Diana is going anywhere.

Exactly my thoughts.

And okay, I like Fantasia. I really, truely do. But ... I don't know. They're both good singers, but Fantasia's gonna get signed no matter what. Clive Davis even said so. But Diana, I don't know... she could be Justina Guarini :(

[Friendsfan#555]

I wanted Diana to win so she could go some where with singing because Fantasia was going some where win or loss.

From the begining I was agianst Fantasia but she was probably the better and more deserving of the two.

If Diana lost some weight she could jump on the Britney Spears bandwagon.

Well yeah, but I don't see Diana turning out to be the female Clay Aiken. I see her more as the female Justin Guarini.

[°Bubbly Blonde°]

Well, if enough people like her and want to go out and get her cd, then she will become the female Clay Aiken :)

I doubt any AI Contestant will become "The next Clay Aiken". But, a runner-up can have as much success as the winner, and that's the point. :p

[°Bubbly Blonde°]

Well, Im just REALLY happy right now, Im glad my few votes helped make this girl American Idol. I cant wait for her stuff to come out...I cried again tonight when she won, when she started crying. Love her!!!

[db108108]

Honestly, it does sound corny, but they're both winners. Both are going to make lots of money- it really doesn't matter who won. For people who didn't watch "AI2," who won, Ruben or Clay? It's so hard to tell because Clay has arguably been more successful than Ruben.

Speaking of Ruben, that boy has to lose some weight! OMG he is huge! Lose weight not from a career standpoint, but a health one.

got to feel bad for Justin tonight. they have Kelly and Clay and Ruben and all these past contestants, but not the runner up from the first group? Wow, he really has fallen hard.

Anybody noticed how hard Fantasia was hugging Diana at the end? I thought she was going to snap her neck!

Also, anybody else get a gay vibe from Fantasia?

[vienna waits]

Of course I wish that Di won but I'm not that upset. She's going to get a contract for sure and she will NOT BE THE NEXT JUSTIN! Bite your tongue Diana fans!!!

baaaaaad girls. talkin bout that baaad girls. sad girls bad girls you such a dirty bad girls BEEP uh huuuuh.

I'm not gonna moan and groan but I won't say Fantasia is better. Everybody I knew wanted Diana so it's subjective. Yayyy Diana.

[Burley_Furley]

I wasn't a big Fantasia fan in the very beginning. In fact, I wasn't really sure what to make of her, but week after week she started growing on me. Then when it got down to the bottom 6 and I started looking forward to seeing her sing. She always looks so comfortable on stage, the way she handles the audience is great, and she's so entertaining. Her voice is very unique and its like no other in the competition, which made her stand out for me.
Diana has the voice of just about every other singer out there. Don't get me wrong, she has a beautiful voice, but Fantasia is different and its a nice change.
So, Congragulations to Fantasia, she really deserves it.

[-*Leah*-]

:woohoo: I am so happy with the results. I squealed when Ryan called Fantasia's name. She did awesome on that song, and I can't even imagine anyone singing it as well as her ever. It was made for her. I can't wait to see both of them on 'On Air' tomorrow afternoon. I believe the best woman won, but I can't see Diana being the next Justin Guarini or Clay Aiken. I think she will be somewhere in between them both, and I think she has a long career ahead of her.


Yayyy Fantasia!!!:D
