Hopefully millions of other americans weren't able to get through to Fantasia either - walks like a duck, sings like a duck, must be highly over-rated duck!!!

LAST EDITED ON 05-26-04 AT 10:55 AM (EST)Let me start off by saying I don't really care who wins. I think this has been the worst Idol season yet, as far as talent goes. (who knows what the judges are smoking) Having said that, I voted for Diana. I used all 3 toll free lines, and I got through the most times on the 01 line. I guess I got through about 25 times. She wasn't that good, and Diana wasn't that bad. Why was I compelled to vote when I don't really care? Because I was disgusted by the judges comments last night. All Paula can come up with for Diana was "ditto", but she goes on and on for Fantasia, like her voice will bring about world peace or something. She wasn't that good, and Diana wasn't that bad. Sure, I think Fantasia is talented. I also think that she'd be much better off NOT winning the AI title. I'd never buy one of her CD's, mainly because if I wanted to hear that kindof screeching, I'd play some skee ball at Chuck E Cheese, and use my winning tickets to get a kazoo for my kid play. Her voice is so unpleasant, I'd probably turn of the radio if she was on.

True, I felt the same way. The judges should not be that one-sided. I dont remember them being this way with Clay and Ruben. I think their collective egos have gotten the better of them and they think its RPS Idol Show. I have not voted since last year when I got through on Clay's line all of ONCE Last nite, I was compelled to pick up the phone and vote for Diana. I really loved her first song, I thought it was better than Fantasia's-- the yeah yeahs just killed it for me. I tried on all three of her nos. but I kept getting through on 01 so I kept just hitting redial. I bet I vote for her about 20 times or so with many busy signals in between. That was in about 1/2 hour's time. emydi BTW, did you see our boy John in the stands. He looks great and so did Jennifer right behind him!!

>Last night ticked me off. Saying Diana wasn't old >eough to sing that song - like she had any >say in it to begin with. And they practically annointeed >Fantasia's head with oil. It was ridiculous. Yeah yeah yeah! I agree. "Annoit" was exactly the word that sprang to my mind last night. I almost expected the judges to leap to the stage with a tiara and flowers for Fantasia. And a Miss American Idol banner (whatever they call those things pageant winners wear - I'm blanking on the name - d'oh!) Why bother going through with the voting? - they kept declaring her the winner, over and over. It offended me. What happened to all of Simon's pronouncements that "America decides"? I don't *adore* Diana but I think she's quite a good singer and Fantasia's voice has annoyed me mightily since day one. I find it screechy and unpleasant. Some people just hate her voice, some people love it (and some people are somewhere in between). It was definitely that blatant favortism by the judges - I think they were *trying* to throw Diana off her game - that drove me to vote. And that's even though I have such a clear preference. Actually stopped watching the show quite a while ago this season but tuned back in for this ep. I only got through about 7 or 8 times in about 5 times that many tries. After the '1' line was busy a couple times, I decided to move on. I only got through once on the '3' line and moved on to '5' and stuck with that one.

I find it screechy and unpleasant." I feel the same way about Diana's voice. Fantasia's performance of that last song was brilliant. It gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. My mom and I got through about 200 times last night on the toll free lines.

8. "Fantasia" |
I voted for Fantasia. Love both Diana and Fantasia, but Fantasia is my choce for AI. I agree the judges were obviously one-sided for Fantasia. It puzzled me a bit, because of an interview I read about a week ago where Simon stated that he thought Diana would win. After dialing for 2 hrs 15 mins (yeah, I took breaks), I finally got through. Got through about 10 times or so before I gave up. The record company can get rid of the yeah, yeah's, and teach her how to behave in public, how to interview, how to dress, etc. Whitney Houston or Barbra Streisand didn't come out of the box that way, either. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Go, Fantasia. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I voted for Fantasia, I have no idea how often I did...it was a lot of times. Here's how I think it will play out: *If Diana wins, They will offer Fantasia a contract too because they love her. Simon absolutely adores her. *If Fantasia wins, then she wins and Simon is happy. Diana is offered nothing but the happiness of the tour like the rest of the people who get to go on tour, and maybe someone else will offer her something after her contract with Idol is over. That's my opinion. How's that for a lurker? Excellent siggy by JSlice, Worm by the Fab IceCat I wish I were a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum...Cuz how can you be grumpy, When the sun shines out your bum??

I voted for Diana 10 times with the toll-free number (03). 5 calls made through during the first hour (and during commercial breaks for 24); many busy signals. Then I got busy and made only 5 more calls around 11:30pm; made through easily, no busy signals.

"Her version of "I Believe" was so much better than Fantasia's version"What??? I don't even think so. Fantasia sanged that sond so good she had to audience crying. "Fantasia makes me sick" Go to the doctor!!!!!! "What is up with her tears? Every single show she cries. I think they are fake tears for sympathy! It just makes me sick." She only cried after singing "I believe" b/c she was feeling the song and it was actullay how she felt.

Dianna (I got thru like 50 times for Dianna) I believe that we are going to see an upset by Dianna and I will tell you why, by heaping praise on Fantasia (I am not insluting her abilities nor do I think she is a bad singer, she is actually very good) the judges were attempting to sway the vote, I dont believe that America will tolerate Simon choosing the winner I believe that it truly is up to America and not Simon. Also, Fantasia does not need this competition to become a star, she has Clive Davis willing to offer her a deal if she looses that is my two cents on the issue.

I voted for Fantasia because she is the best performer all around, but that's just my own opinion. However I do believe that Diana will win this competition because most viewers are too young to truly know and appreciate Fantasia's vocal style and those who preceeded her with that style.

I tried to vote for Fantasia about 20 times and gave up.From the beginning of the show I really really like Diana. My kids liked Fantasia but I loved Diana's strong voice. On Big Band night I was moved by Fantasia. She really is great. I think some people don't get her style. She reminds me of a young aretha or patti labelle....just awesome Diana will do fine.... she has a great voice and wonderful presence. I've been saying all season that Disney needs to hire her. She reminds me of the rest of those teen queens... Hillary Duff.... Lindsay Lohan...Raven Simone. She matured alot recently though. Her singing style reminds me of Leeann Rhimes. I will buy her CD.

24. "I didn't plan to vote , but..." |
I voted 25 times at least for Diana (on the 03 line). Two factors pushed me to the phone: 1) The judges' anointing of Fantasia; 2) The "yeah yeah yeah" tag EVERY FREEKIN TIME Fantasia sings. Had she left it off even ONE song last night, I probably would have voted for her, or not voted at all. So 'Tasia, if you lose by 25 votes... It was me yeah yeah yeah yeah. yeah. ________________________ Win or lose, Fantasia will probably get a contract and sell records to her fervent fans. I'm not one of them. Jennifer, you wuz robbed. These reality show contestants need a reality check!

Boy am I glad to see that everyone is feeling the same way I did about last night. Enough Yeah Yeahs and blaitant praising of Fantasia as if she is a God to the competition. I don't think she is the best finalist by a long shot. I feel bad for not voting for Diana, I voted for her almost every week but did not vote for her last night because if she wins it will just be another controversy that I will have to hear about for the next months. I am glad to see that a lot of people did. I'll be happy with either of the winning.

I voted for Fantasia 50 times-yep I counted. The only reason I voted was because they added phone lines. Last season I was very frustrated trying to vote for Clay, the true AI2 winner.

41. "RE: Who did you vote for?" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-27-04 AT 03:34 AM (EST)i cast all of my votes for Diana. trying on and off for the entire 4 hours, i might have gotten in 7 or 8 votes. i wasn't all that dedicated this time, if only because i wasn't 'passionate' about either of them. besides, after trying for HOURS to vote for Clay last year with no success in getting through at all, left me a little wary of going through all that again. (of course had Jennifer or George made the F2, i would have voted until the battery died on my phone or i fell over..whichever came first) i've a feeling that if Diana gets an album, it won't be with 19 Entertainment...and i think that they'll hold her to her exclusivity agreement with them until it runs out. i hope i am wrong, but i doubt that they'll want another Ruben/Clay situation this year. what i mean to say by that is that Clay had as much success as Ruben did, and I think that they don't want to risk a repeat of that again this year for the sake of making sure that the title means something. i do think that a lack of large amounts of hard-core fans for either Fantasia nor Diana means that more than likely neither of them will have the success of Ruben, Clay, or Kelly.
