Oh, come on...so it's the producers who made Fantasia win? Could it possibly be that Fantasia won, fairly, because she to many people gave the best performance last night, and because people think she's unique and talented, instead of it being some conspiracy?

well okay, she got the most votes. however, i think that the producers did a lot to make Fantasia stand out.

im not saying these are for sure, but these are just some thoughts
-they mightve done something to Diana's last song. pretty sure they did.
-the judges were slobbering on Fantasia to no end. i mean, yeah like who you want, but dont say stuff like "it was a one-sided competition. Fantasia deserves it" and stuff everywhere you go, ya know?
-for some reason, i was fishy about the judges choice songs. first off, i know that Jasmine shouldve definitely gone for sure (i mean i even wanted her to go), but Paula chose a lame song for her... and Randy didnt choose a great song for Diana either, however Simon chose a great one for Fantasia. i know im just blowing this out of proportion, but still an observation.
-and lastly... the single. it was definitely made for Fantasia. its a very gospel-like song, and Diana's not that. hopefully when she releases a single, it'll be "Dont Cry Out Loud", without the technical difficulties
-ooo also, compare her and clay. clays song was tinkered with last year also. hm.

Well, they're judges, they're suppose to give their opinions on who they think is better, if they didnt do that, what would they be there for? And I believe the single was written before they knew who exactly was going to be in the top 2, so it isnt obviously written for Fantasia. I believe Fantasia simply got the most votes, and that's why she won. Diana will have a successful career hopefully, Im sure a lot of her fans will buy her cd when she puts one out...

I agree on ALL of that except last year they pushed for Ruben and they picked a GREAT song choice for Clay. He got a standing O and everything. But yea.. htis year.. UGH.

as a singer you have to be prepared for technical difficulties. I have sang on stages in which the monitors did not work ..the microphone shorted out....the music just quit...the cd playing the music had scratches...what you do is..


1. act professionally ...dont complain and work your way through it.
IF you are truly a fan of DIANA's you will just cheer her on with the rest of her career because no matter how much you complain and look for excuses she will NEVER...I REPEAT NEVER BE "THE AMERICAN IDOL". the show is over people

Well, the judges' function is to do just that. You can't expect them to keep their mouths closed and leave it all up to America...if they did, they would have no reason to be there.

I was pulling for Fantasia, but I think both will get record deals in time. As we saw last year, the real American Idol is proven after the competition is over. We'll just have to wait and see.

I know that these past few days I probably seemed like a bratty little bitch or whatever just because Diana lost, but that's not why I'm mad at all. If I really thought Fantasia won fair and square, I'd be mad, but not this mad. They messed up Diana's song...and sure, accidents happen, but it's just a little too weird for me that on that same night last year, they messed up Clay's song too. When Jennifer Hudson was voted off, Randy's saying stuff like "as a proud American citizen...blah blah"....oh, as a proud American citizen when someone spectacular gets voted off, America should feel guilty for doing something wrong, yet purposely trying to make a person lose, and during the SEASON FINALE, isn't wrong? Sorry, just had to say that.

The way I see it is...if Diana really deserved to win, she'll have more success than Fantasia in the future. The title will mean nothing.

Yeah, i agree. I mean, Fantasia is a great idol, and im glad with her winning, even though i was a Diana fan. However, it just seems soooo fishy, and its just weird ( the thing with Diana... and all that)
I mean, on E! True Hollywood Story, Kimberley Locke said "I'm 110% sure that the judges do everything to make sure that their favorite wins. From the beginning, i knew Simon didnt want ME to win", and i remember reading somewhere that after Ruben landed in the bottom 2 that week, they did a lot to make him unforgettable (making him go last 2 weeks in a row, and making Kimberley go first in the top 3 show). hm. im probably getting off topic but i also read in Simon Cowell's book, and he said "Ruben was the weakest that night (top 3) and Kimberley was the strongest, but i really wanted a Ruben and Clay finale". But basically, im not mad that Fantasia won. She's a great idol, but what they did to Diana just seems very iffy to me.
