Really, it doesn't matter who wins at this point. I mean... Clay lost, but he still has his clan of Clay-mates. We will see both Fantasia and Diana until we're sick of them.
That said, I only heard the last songs of both of them (though I know that they both sang their second songs... Diana's Enough is Enough and Fantasia's Summertime... very well, 'cause they always do), and Diana was out of tune for much more than 3 notes. The whole middle half of her song was funky. She got it figured out, I'll hand it to her, but Fantasia's last song was amazing (she had only one held out note that was kind of off). But the consensus seems to be that Fantasia is too much like Macy Gray... though I disagree... so I still contend that Diana will win. She is squeeky clean American. 'Cause you can bet that there are some voters out there shaking their head at Fantasia because she's a teen mother.
I like Fantasia's voice... it's original. Her voice has texture, like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, and Billie Holiday. Diana has a strong voice, but it's shaped from years of voice lessons and to me, it's not memorable. She doesn't put enough emotion into her songs... just power... and her low register does get funky sometimes. And Fantasia is just all attitude.
I can't help wondering, though, what La Toya would have sounded like, singing the Tamyra Gray song. :lol:
