Someone else said it, Fantasia sounds like "fingernails scraping on a blackboard".
I cannot take her loud screaming and jumping all over the place and waving her arms all at the same time.
The only time she did not get to me is when she SAT down to sing Summertime.
I think she will go over to the hip hop genre with Ruben and we will not see her much anymore, just like Ruben sort of disappeared.
Clay is the winner of it all, personality wise, the whole singing package!!!
I cannot get past Rubens profuse sweating while he is singing.
Diana DeGarmo, while she is only 16, has the pipes and with exposure she will onlly get better.
I like her looks and her style.

She LOOKS like an American Idol should look. Clay and Kelley LOOK like an American Idol SHOULD look.
Fantasia and Ruben do not LOOK like the American Idol. And kimberley locke is another good example of an American Idol.
I would have been much happier if Latoya was the final winner.

To me she had a great voice, without being annoying and charm and grace and looks, truely, to me an American Idol
