Fantasia is Fanterrible

Singing “Yeah yeah yeah yeah” ad infinitum does not a good singer make. Having a hoarse voice that sounds like a raspy goat dying does not a good singer make. Being an annoying, mindless bitch and playing to the crowd doesn’t either.
I’m not saying the competition is the best thing to hit music ever, either, but anything is better than this.
This puts to shame Ruben beating Clay. Fantasia, go count your blessings with Macy Gray, and pray that America never grows ears.

I did like her rendition of Gershwin’s “Summertime,” but like the rest of the contestants, her tuning is *baaaad*. I was at the Lilac Festival this past weekend and someone sang the Star-Spangled Banner, and it was all I could do not to cover my ears — it’s like suddenly belting and sounding like you’re trying to be a combination of Celine Dion and Pavarotti is more important than actually hitting each note straight on. I sort of felt dirty all over when it was done.

I don’t like her Summertime, but it’s probably because it represents her evil in its most pure form. I’m still fuming about the night Latoya London got voted out.
On a side note, how exactly can they call the voting accurate? For the entire four-hour voting window, all three of Diana’s lines were busy – trust me, I can attest to this. If all the lines were constantly busy, that means a LOT of people who wanted to vote couldn’t, and the results are basically up in the air. I’m not saying it would have wound up differently if everyone had a say, just that with the 65 million they got, it’s impossible for it to be representative.
