Due to a VCR programming error, I missed the first two-thirds of American Idol tonight. I take it the first songs (of which I only saw the brief snippets in the recap) were the contestants' selections? Because no way would the judges ever have picked "Saving All My Love for You" for Jasmine (though they might well have picked "Chain of Fools" for Fantasia).
Anyway, from my limited-to-the-last-song standpoint, nothing new to report. Jasmine is still a shouter who doesn't quite make all the high notes (and on each one she has to have her head cocked to the same precise angle--back and to her right--and her eyes closed). Diana is a shouter who is irredeemably ugly and can't dance. And Fantasia actually has some real talent (though I'd kind of like to fix her teeth).
Clive Davis is looking oddly preserved. Not like good-for-his-age, more like Vladimir Lenin in a glass box.

Contestants chose first song, judges chose second song.
First song Jasmine sang sucked. Second song Jasmine sang sucked. Paula picked Jasmine's second song in what I would have thought would be an attempt to dilute her votes bc it isnt a crowd please and is obscure until I heard
Fantasia's second song which was maybe my second favorite AI performance of all time. Never heard this song. No idea what era it comes from or whose song it is but I cant imagine the original could beat Fantasia's performce. I listened to it a couple of times. Just great stuff. Then I went back and listened to her on the Big Band night. She is really the best performer they have ever had, even if she is kind of Donald Trumpy. Well, I guess she can back it up.
Diana. Did they pick Celine Dion so nobody would vote for her? Didnt Celine Dion get somebody knocked out or nearly knocked out pervciously? She can sing but it isnt a pleasant experience. She was positively screaming her last song, I dont know how she got props. It was the most painful performance I ever suffered through. My guess is she is gone bc of the Hawaiian Punch. I tried to vote for Fantaisa for an hour and could not once get through. I am guessing it is the same for the other two?
