Once again America produces a travesty. I'm disgusted.
Granted, both divas (and I would most definitely NOT classify either Diana or Jasmine as a diva) had one fantastic and one less-than-stellar song choice last night, but come on, people!
Jasmine was plain awful last night, and Diana was nowhere near as good as the judges seemed to think she was. I would love love love to have her perform next to a white girl who actually can sing, like, say, Kelly Clarkson. Then maybe the stupid white people who "don't get why black people can't just sing the notes" (a paraphrase of an ignorant relative of the SFC's) would realize that their favorites in the competition SUCK.
But no, I'm not bitter. HA! I'm still bitter from last week. I could have given George lots of people to listen to and emulate besides Cab Calloway, like Joe Williams, Billy Eckstine and, yes, Nat King Cole. When you're a soul king, you don't try to sing an Irving Berlin song most closely associated with the ultimate white singer, Fred Astaire.
Which brings me back to last night's song choices. The only person who should have attempted The Weather Girls is Fantasia (or Jennifer could have, had she still been around). Anything by the BeeGees, in spite of the passionate lyrics, is just too musically cool to work in a competition where being emotionally overwrought is rewarded. And curses on Fantasia for resurrecting one-hit wonder Bonnie Tyler. Feh.

PS RT, I was the one who posted the pics of the Urban Outfitters boots. Glad you like them.
