disaster?? she displayed more energy and originality in 4 minutes than syesha+david archuleta have the entire season. like her or not, she danced, she didn't stand in one spot, and my favorite (though many don't like) is the different cadences and timbres of her voice. i wish people appreciated the musicality of her voice. when she's "screaming" she's sometimes hitting several notes at one time. janis joplin was the queen of this, being recorded once as hitting 8 notes at one time. fantasia isn't a master of the technique and usually just sings the same note in two different octaves, sometimes she throws in a color note which adds a nice flavor. fantasia is a ROCK STAR. few women sing with enough balls to match james brown or steven tyler or other rock stars, i've had my fill of one-dimensional, one-toned operatic belters (mariah carey, david archuleta). i like voices with different sounds to them. plus tasia's use of improvisation is unmatched by ANY idol winner or contestant. her use of scats and runs is the difference between belting a song like a robot (david archuleta), and singing it every word has immense meaning and importance.
