Remember last year and we had the 3 black divas?
Jennifer Hudson, Latoya London, and Fantasia. They all were really good, but Jennifer and Latoya were clearly better singers than Fantasia and they got the "boot" early. Why? Simple....because the "votes" were always split between them.
With Vonzell's "come from behind," I think that will hurt Nadia more than anyone else.
And Vonzell has a higher "likeability factor" than both Jessica and Nadia.
It would be sad to see Jessica go because she is one of the better vocalists and as Simon says, "it's a singing competition."
Just my 2 cents...

I'd disagree on that... Jennifer was a one-trick pony ("let me belt something out, the rest of the song can be crap") who went off at just about the exact right time. LaToya failed because she hit her peak early and never improved (and also got bit by the Jasmine jihad). As much as I disliked Fantasia, she was a more versitile singer and performer, and deserved at least a top-3 finish.

Speaking of that, do you remember when one of the first 3 were voted off, Elton John called American's racists!!!

I couldn't believe it. I was really pi$$ed.

Turns out, 2 of 3 Idols are black.

Fantasia's CD sales are very low compared to other idols.
