She put on a ton of weight during the competition, must have been feeding the girls very well! I agree that she is really not that great, I think the record industry sees that too... She still has not been offered a recording contract by anyone.

w/ chocolate syrup

Landos Mustache · May 27, 2004, 12:31 PM

And sprinkles.

quandarry · May 27, 2004, 02:08 PM

the chocolate chick sounds like a cartoon character on helium...and i think she's hopped up on some kind of stimulant.

she sucks!

as someone else said the second place winner will have more freedom in what she does and will be better off...

last years second place guy is a bigger hit than the big fat heart attack fat black guy.

but in the end it's all just a karoke contest...no big stars that stand on their own.

I can't understand how folks don't like Fantasia, she had one of the best performances of 'Summertime' that I've ever seen/heard.

You meant Hilary Duff with one L?

I don't think so. I believe he just likes saying fat.

I couldn't tell if he was being a petty moron or not. I thought maybe the dude had had a heart attack.

Ya, google says no heart attack. Only people saying he will have one.

She was good, no doubt. I'll admit that.

I just don't like her. American Idol is not just about voice...it's about personality. She only had the voice. Contestants with way better charisma and personality in my opinion should definitely be able to oust someone with just a better voice.

Fonzie · May 27, 2004, 02:44 PM

Who the hell names their child "Fantasia" ??? I think I will call my third child "Troll" or "warmonger" or "deckchair"

I suppose, but I'd put her above Dianna in charisma/personality as well. Dianna reminded me of a 16 year old Kathy Lee Gifford. Not exactly the personality I'd go for in a vocalist. While she was talented, I'm not sure she's nearly talented enough for a recording contract.

This season there were some contestants who had talent and some who had charisma, but practically none who had both. Fantasia was very talented and, maybe not particularly charismatic, but unique. She's the first idol winner/runner-up that I may actually listen for in the future.

The same parents named their first two children Snow White and Pinocchio.

Gotta feel sorry for what they named their fourth child.

Okay, bad joke, but I had to get it out of my head.

I'd assume that Fantasia isn't her real name.

Can we get back to talking about ice cream and sherbet?

Well she Named her kid Zion. She wasn't a bad singer at all It was definitely tough competition between the 2. They both are good singers and should be around for a long time. I just didn't like Fantasia because of her voice it sounded too cartoony She did do very well though.

Well, I may be misguided but I tried the best I could. With my leet gfx skillz

I may not be that enlightened. someone enlighten me !!! goddamnit! I demand it (somewhat)

You compare me to a girl named Fantasia ?? Nice! I dig that

I hope she is as good looking as me. Or should I say as looking as me!?

carry on.

Hmm maybe I should put a warning on the front page of my website= You have come here in vain!

She seemed real, down to earth, Approachable. I think that goes further than charisma. She had great singing ability as well, IMO.

What's wrong with that? I think it would be an honor to be named Zion. In high school I knew a kid whose sister was named Rainbow. Now THAT'S strange.

I'm actually just pissed off in general. I didn't like Diana either...

Like I said before, I wanted Jon Peter Lewis to win, but alas he was voted off. After that point, I didn't care who won, with the only exception of Fantasia - and look who won.

Socially Awkward Solo · May 27, 2004, 08:13 PM

IN the end who gives a rats ass who wins, not like us make any money off it.

This was the first mention of chocolate, not a single racist thread was made before this one turned it into a race thing.

Ghost, dude, when you first accused the poster about racism he explained that he only meant "plain" by it. Then YOU mentioned Chocolate.

I gotta tell ya, when I read the first few posts in this thread it reads to me like YOU are the one obssessed with the race issue.

Sad really, as it has no place in a thread about who one the show last night.

He really is that stupid not to see it

Don't bother.

ghost_flash · May 27, 2004, 09:05 PM

And he mentioned Vanilla before that.

If he were to mention SALT, as opposed to PEPPER?

Who really is the stupid one here. It isn't me.

ASIMO · May 27, 2004, 09:11 PM

Had a cracker today. Rather vanilla, I must admit.

The chocolate shake afterward was better, though.

... Judging from the posts I have read from you on this thread so far I don't think you would like the results if we all voted on that.

Demonhood · May 27, 2004, 10:53 PM

ghost, solo, enough with the race issue.
it was obviously not solo's intention to bring race into it when he mentioned the word "vanilla".
now get over it.

ghost_flash · May 28, 2004, 10:11 AM

Re-read the thread then Demonhood. BTW: I let it go many posts ago, I've just replied to others.

He's one boring mofo.
