"Diana is going to make a Come-back!" |
Okay, okay! I read all over these boards "The three divas" and "The top four: Jennifer, Latoya, George and Fantasia ,etc... It is always the same. I can see all four as doing well in the competition, obviously they have been voted four of the best singers/idols in America within a particular age group. My office started a poll at the beginning of the contest in which we vote each week on who leaves, as well as voted on the winner at the beginning of the season, which we cannot change. I picked Diana. I thought she was very talented, had a great voice, her age brought something new to the competition we haven't quite seen in other seasons and she's a very pretty young girl with a powerful voice! She's sung national anthems, done pageants, etc.. and all I ever hear about her is "her robotic performances". I agree her past two shows have not been up to par but I really wish people would give her a chance. Think of Carmen Rasmussen. She was certainly much worse than Diana but we saw her go far, much further than she should have. I don't expect people to stop voting for one of the "three divas" or George. Please keep in mind Diana was sick two weeks ago, and in an up-close interview last week on some TV show (forgot which one) Paula said she was still not fully recovered. BAD choice of song last week, but I don't think it was absolutely terrible! What I'm trying to say is despite the past couple of weeks of bad song selection, I do think this girl has an amazing voice and I'm asking voters to at least give her one last chance to prove herself. At Braves games, "Vote Diana" is on the screen for long periods of time, just as John S. and other contestants' schools are doing, her high school I believe is also doing the "Mass voting". Despite the fact Simon has not given her ONE positive comment, she takes everything with a smile. I think the only reason she did the Celine Dion song last week (aside from the fact that has always been her idol) is to prove to Simon she didn't have to be "cutesey". She took what he said from past weeks and tried to prove him wrong but then gets the comment "you're like an overgrown child. This stuff is too old for you". Poor girl can't win. I'm not saying she necessarily deserves to win and is the best of the competition. I think Latoya will win, which is good, but I think Diana could be a front runner for the top three so please give her a chance. She's fabulous! GO DIANA!

1. "RE: Diana is going to make a Come-back!" |
She had better or I think she could go this week with John Stevens obvious fan base. I wonder if a sign at a baseball game telling you to vote is a help or a hinderance. After all we are voting on the best singer or performer that night. Just because a sign says to vote could actually turn people off. They should just say "Go Diana". For 16 she does sing well but not well enough to be The American Idol considering some of her competition. I do think she is better then Jasmine. I know everyone hates what Simon says but lets face it, either the show is rigged or American listens to what he says.

So are you really saying you would actually not vote Jennifer or one given week if she had a bad performance. Please answer honestly.

I'd say that she is in trouble this week, but she as far as I'm concerned, she has at least one week to prove herself. I really hope Jon Stevens goes this week. That gives us an exciting showdown between Jasmine and Diana the following week for 5th place. Both teen sensations going at it. Whoever wins that battle may slip into the Final 4....

If you go based on the popularity polls, Jennifer Hudson's spot at #4 is tenuous as best.

14. "Come on Diana" |
I've been a Diana fan all along, but I believe it is make or break time for her. She has a great voice. She needs to pick the right songs and let her personality show more. She deserves to make it into the top 5 but I think it will be close. Probably Johnny Red will be the next to go, unless Diana has a terrible week.

Maybe I would feel differently if I was in the studio audience, but I feel as connected to her as ANY of the idols. Passion - I feel passion from Diana, Fantasia, LaToya, and Jennifer. All the others - including George - sound (or sounded) like they were having to try REALLY hard to stay on key, as if they were in pain just trying to get the notes out. I know I have felt their pain listening to them. I often find myself cringing, gritting my teeth, and praying for it to end. My wife can't even listen to their whole songs!The four I listed seem to actually be singing, and this is what moves me. Handcrafted by RollDdice! Have you given your TiVo a nice, firm handshake today?

26. "Why is Diana always first??" |
Is it just me, or is Diana just about always the first singer up? I'm of the opinion that the closer the singer is to the end of the show, the more the audience remembers the performance and gets behind him/her. I do think a lot of people 'forget' how good Diana can sing because she seems to always go on at the very beginning of the show, and is forgotten by the time we get to vote for her!! Am I crazy? Does anyone else wonder about this too? Has she ever ended a show? The first time she sang ("I've Got the Music in Me"), she was first. Has anyone else besides LaToya, Fantasia or Jennifer ever ended a show??? Don't you think placement in the evening affects scoring?? Does anyone know how placement is decided?

She is very well on her way tonight(Barry Manilow night)! Still needs to step it up a lot more to garner my vote! But hopefully she will make the top 6 and maybe the top 5, but I cannot see her going much further... Plus- just because Simon says it was her best performance, she still is beneath some of the others....

I am not one of Diana's fans, but I will say she beat out George and John last night. She might get another bye tonight after being sent to the bottom three tonight.

Despite George having a bad performance, there is no way I would put her ahead of him. One thing, stage presence alone, charisma alone. I do remember Quentin Tarantino saying its like she has glass in between her and the audience. Come on 1 bad or 1 good night does not create an American Idol..

Sorry, Boo. Diana is not the one! Cute? Yes. Young? Yes. American Idol? Not! This is a huge compitition. There isn't really much room for mistakes. You have to bring it! The "Three Divas" have brought it. George has brought it. Latoya or Fantasia truly deserve to win this compitition! They have what it takes! (My opinion)

That's weird how inconsistent it is. I live in Michigan and I could get through anytime betwtewen 9-11 (EST) for Diana and Jennifer. I called and redialed successfully several times for both of them.

Wow, if there is one thing I have noticed on these boards, it is how differently people see the same performance. I thought Diana did very well Latin night, and not so well Big Band night. She has accomplished quite a bit just having the judges say she ought to be top 3. I do think her wardrobe choices are hurting her. I don't think we need to be telling our teenage girls they need to be skinny to be successful. But she needs to dress for her body type. Jasmine and LaToya both have more of the "look", but should that be what it is all about?

I don't think we need to be telling our teenage girls they need to be skinny to be successful. But she needs to dress for her body type. Bingo. I keep thinking back to the show where she wore that cute pink leather jacket. Completely age-appropriate, had some style, and was not unflattering to her figure. I miss that look, especially given how horrendous her last two wardrobe choices have been. I think a lot of us know how to dress to compliment the figures we've got, even though they're not perfect. My biggest frustration with Diana is that the clothing choices get worse and worse each week. I contrast that with Jennifer, who once she got in the hands of a stylist, learned how to pick outfits that were more flattering to her figure. Snarky, smart, S7 Anti-Bootee Champ and YOUR American Idol.

I think she may have gained some weight during the competition as well. Maybe from the pressure of the show. She's not petite but there's nothing wrong with that, she just needs to dress for her size/age.
