american idol results

american idol is now over. fantasia barrino was declared winner last night.

last tuesday, each contestant had to sing three songs. after fantasia and diana sang their first songs, i thought that fantasia picked a bad song for the final. i could understand the logic of why she picked the song but the arrangement was just bad! don't get me wrong, it's a great song.

the next two songs basically were the clincher for her to be the next american idol. "summertime" is one of my favorite songs of all time. she did a great job. her version of "i believe" was so much better. i just didn't buy diana de garmo from the very beginning.

not that simon had any influence but i really didn't buy her cutesy 16 yr old from snellville, ga schtick. i was always rooting for fantasia from the very beginning.

it would've been a more interesting and gripping competition if it was fantasia vs latoya.

now... on to the next reality tv show. no apprentice. no american idol anymore.
