I didn’t mind the arrangement unlike the judges. I thought her singing was pretty good. But what made me wince was when she spoke using island dialect for her introduction. I thought that was where Randy thought it was cheesy, and I agreed.
I wasn’t crazy about that particular performance, but I do like how she puts different spins on the songs, and I like Naima and I hope she doesn’t go home tonight. But I don’t know who I’d send home in her place, they’re pretty much all really good!
I just saw Fantasias butchering of that song. I remember her audition, and if I were judge never would have sent her to Hollywood. Has to be the worst Idol EVER. Man, I hated that season. Amy Adams should have won. I’d buy tickets to a William Hung concert where he sings “She Bangs” for 18 hours straight than listen to 18 seconds of Fantasia’s squealing. Oooops, sorry…. way off topic here, but was just watching the show…...”
@marinelife Yup, that was perfect. I would have chosen the same two to go home last night. Luckily Paul didn’t go home, he’s still got something up his sleeve.
