At 16, Diana was probably too green to win AI. Now, at 18, she's on the cusp of Broadway stardom working with Melba Moore, another Tony winning musical star and a Tony winning Broadway director. I thing she's terrific and wish her all the best.
lol...that music.
DING...Fries are DONE!!!
Bye Doode.
"The Good, the Bad and the Tone Deaf!"
No offense, but nonsense. Fantasia is only older than Diana by a matter of weeks, and the only reason Diana didn't win is that Simon had already cornoated Fantasia and swayed the audience. (Yanking the sound system out from under Diana during the finale just made sure of it.)
