She sucks is why.Yep, I tend to agree. She does have a good voice, but she uses it horribly in that modern screaming style with 400 riffs per note that's just an excuse for lousy R&B music. Barf!
PS: From the first season, the AI powers that be desperately wanted someone to win who could rake in the bucks in the hottest genre in the music industry over the last decade -- the so-called urban genre. So they pushed Tamyra Gray in the first season, but she got booted early. Then they pushed Ruben, and he's been a big (pun intended) failure. So in season 3 they pushed Fantasia, and she's done only moderately well. However, Clive Davis still thinks Fantasia is going to be a big star, so there wasn't as much pressure this year to push for another candidate for the urban music scene.
But I do notice that after four seasons, no white guy has won the contest. As a white woman, that irritates me.
