looks like we share e same sentiments.
age wise, Diana definitely has an edge... and though La Yoya is pretty good, she is a little too old - not much to milk from.....
Jasmine confirm out i guess...her range realli CMI...
as for fantasia, she has great showmanship and stage presence BUT! her voice, though wide ranging and powerful, has a flaw - it doesnt sound pleasant...too shrill... try listening to her CD e whole day, i would probably get very "eeeeeeks"
And yes, Diana needs to shed some weight.... for an idol e figure simply isnt there... And she needs to select her songs better... song selection realli is e key here. La Toya seems to be able to pick e right songs..... even Fantasia cant beat that! and Jasmine, well, she always pick songs that she cant reach or sing (she went out of breath last nite )
but whoever win or lose, AMI3 is a great show to watch!!!
