I don't know why the animosity towards Vonzelle. She as sweet, pretty, had a great voice and a great personality. Carrie has a great voice, but come one guys, a bit short on the personality. The fact is they're all good and will all have careers. But this negative stuff about all of the black women finalists is just...well...you know.

I'm with you. What I don't understand is that while Vonzelle has been inconsistent, and tends to over-sing when she gets lost, people around here say she's "screaming" even on the songs when she is perfectly, 100% in control and just displaying good power and support.

Then, there are all of the Fantasia comparisons, which are ridiculous; 1) their vocal styles are not even close to the same thing, and 2) Vonzelle appears to be a sweet, nice, family girl while Fantasia ("Baby mama") has basically done everything but wear a "Proud To Be A Ho" t-shirt. The only similarity I see between the two of them is their skin color.

I also loved 'The Vonz." She always looked gorgeous and carried herself with grace and elegance. She will have a great career. She did deserve to go home, though.

For some here on FR, it's the only thing they see.

That made me giggle!

I didn't see any comparisons of Vonzell to Fantasia at all. But I agree with you, Vonzell seems like a very sweet girl with a strong family structure. She may be a bit spoiled, but heck aren't girls supposed to be spoiled?

I hope Vonzell does well. She wasn't ready to win AI, but she does have a lovely voice. She just tries too hard I think. That might be why people think she screams?
