Unfortunately, I have to agree that Mantasia won fair & square. The judges blatantly favored her of course, but that's happened with people in other finals also. As much as I fervently supported her at the time, Diana was not one of my big favs that season and was the wrong person to take on Fantasia. She should not have been in the finale anyway: Jennifer Vs. Latoya would have been a much better one. In fact, an all black top 3 with George coming in 3rd (and Mantasia eliminated on Barry Manilow night) would have REALLY improved the season!
