if I was Diana.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Dean Winchester · 05-27-2004, 03:05 AM

I don't watch AI, but I know more than I ever wanted to know from watching programs like Entertainment Tonight.

I notice that Paula Abdul always interviews the previous night's loser on E.T. as a special correspondent. If I was Diana DeGarmo, I would refuse to grant an interview to her.

Paula and Randy Jackson were both on E.T. basically saying yay Fantasia, boo Diana, which IMO was incredibly unprofessional considering their gig on television. I wouldn't blame Diana if she snubbed Paula when asking for an interview, because for several times over the past few weeks, Paula let it be known on tv that she was 100% behind Fantasia, instead of not playing such a biased role when asked on an entertainment series, you'd usually expect a "well, they're both so great, so I'm rooting for them both". Paula and Randy both basically said "Fantasia rules, Diana sucks", and I thought that was kinda rude, and I think Diana should snub her.

Yeah Paula and Randy don't know the meaning of the word objective. A judge isn't there to push their personal preference. It's about judging the good and bad about both of them. I don't know if she will do an interview with Diana though. Runner-up kind of gets the shaft because everybody wants to talk to the winner. It could be like last year though when they made Clay go everywhere with Ruben.

Their first appearance is today on the Ryan Seacrest show. I'm not too upset though about Di losing. She can move on and do her own things without having the stigma of being the American Idol. And she can have someone with a little more credibility write her first single...

Their personal preference is based on good and bad. Fantasia was better than Diana. Plain and simple.

It's SUBJECTIVE! You can shove your plain and simple up your ass. A good argument could be made that Diana is a better technical singer.

You mean A bad argument can be made that Diana is the better technical singer.

Fantasia is the better singer hands down.

You're too hard headed to understand the idea of opinions so I'll digress.

Just cause Fantasia won, doesn't mean she'll have more success than Diana. I mean look at Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken. Ruben won the competition, but Clay has sold more albums than Ruben and has had more success.

db108108 · 05-27-2004, 11:32 AM

That's not going to be the case here. Fantasia will sell the most albums and have the most success.

I also think it's most likely to turn out that way.

Fantasia has more soul and originality. This is a competition based on talent and Fantasia has more hands down. Fantasia has already been offered a recording contract even before the results. Diana is your regular plain jane. I can get anybody off of the church choir if I wanted to hear Diana. She can hold a note but she is no lead singer. She is more background vocals. Fantasia takes charge of the song as well as stage. I really believe some of your comments as ELTON JOHN put it is based on "race" and not the obvious..stage presence..energy...vocal ability.

Yes. It's all about opinion here. Some people think Diana's better, some think Fantasia is better. A lot of people i know dont like the screeching and the constant "yeahs" in Fantasia's songs. Also Diana has more range, but its all about what people prefer.

im 100% sure that nobody on this board is basing their comments based on race. Its all about opinion and preference for the last time. No, we dont prefer Diana because she's white. The racism comment was just blown out of proportion that week. It was simply that the John, Diana, Jasmine and George fans voted hard for their fave (all 4 of them did well that week), and the fans of LaToya, Jennifer, and Fantasia all assumed they were safe.

you just don't go on tv and pick a favorite like that. I don't care for either, but it WAS unprofessional for Paula and Randy to do that.

And regardless, I am willing to bet Diana can sing circles around Paula, she was the original Jennifer Lopez for crying out loud, her judging other peoples singing is like Steven Seagal judging someones acting

Simon and Randy can't sing either. Should they not be judges either?

Paula's singing ability is irrelevant when it comes to judging who is the best in the competition.

Furthurmore, Paula never criticized Diana's singing abiltity. She just stated that Fantasia's is better.
