Leave me be with my 14 year old fangirl conspiracy.
At 19 I no longer buy into the silly theories but I can't let that one go.

I think that's true. I also think that "I'm Still Standing" on Elton John night sealed the LOSS for Diana. How could they have a winner who had ever performed that abysmally? Sorry... |

Y'all are forgetting the anti-DiBot vote. Bitter fans of people she outlasted on nights she sucked banded together to vote for Fanty. Full Stop.

Diana was very sick that night. If that had sealed her loss she would have gone much earlier than she did. Season three was one of those seasons where I liked both of the final two, but I did wonder about what happened with Diana, if any sabotage was going on. Supposedly she led the voting from the final seven all the way up to the final three show. Her winning would have ruined their story for that season, because I don't think they ever expected Fantasia to be a big star, I think they wanted her to win because her winning was a good image for the show (if a single mother without any real background in showbiz can become America's idol, than isn't this show brilliant). I think they also saw Diana as unmarketable. |

Sorry...Excuse her for getting laryngitis. Also that was very early in the competition and if that had "sealed her loss" like someone already said she would have been gone long before Top 2. Mantasia performed that crappy on a night when she wasn't sick also. |

Fantasia was crappy on Its a Miracle. I did not like that one bit. |

Season Three is very underrated. The boards were fucking hilarious - I rarely posted (maybe that explains the drop in quality now) but I still remember the
Things that are Whiter than JSIV and Things More Ghetto Than Mantasia thread. Plus Life With Fantasia, The Great Big Fat Woman With the Eyepatch, Boomquisha
Santiago and her outstretched hand, the pitchy alien Aloha Bitch, the birth of Whatevia and of course, the 0PLAN0!
Quentin still reigns supreme as the best guest judge they've ever had as well. |

Season three was underrated. Best times ever on these boards.
Wasn't there some fucking with Diana's mic kinda shit on Final 2 night? I seem to remember something about that. I liked Fantasia and Dibot but Fantasia did make the better winner I think. |

Season three is the last season which had a lot of standout performances. Since then it's mostly mediocrity with a few good moments here and there. I think
that season is overshadowed by some of the shock boots and by how bad Jasmine and John were, but there were some great moments.
I thought Quentin was the one to help Diana get over her issues, maybe because unlike the judges, he actually cared about giving constructive advice. |

They did. Diana herself said I'm Still Standing was her worst performance and publicly apologized to Elton John for it. And I agree. I also think it's
still way better than practically ANY Mantasia performance besides Summertime. Mantasia has a horrible, unfixably abrasive voice that virtually all 3rd season
sucksters hated (admittedly, some hated Diana even MORE). I don't know why anybody now feels differently. It's not as if either of her solo albums was
any good. I do agree about Quentin Tarantino. He was the only guest judge they've EVER had in the finals who wasn't a useless ass-kisser when judging
the contestants.
The stuff being said about Diana EVER being a favorite is very silly. Simon never liked her at all, though he did intermittently praise her voice. Randy and Paula didn't care for her either. Her Miss Teen Georgia vibe turned them off and they didn't think she was marketable (with some justification). The fun of season three was in the sheer quantity of trainwreck performances. No other top 12 featured so many useless (Leah, Fatt, JPL, Mantasia) or seriously flawed (Camile, Snotra, Jasmine) singers. There was only one decent male singer (George), most of the semifinalists would have been sent packing in the Hollywood round of other seasons, and the voters made a record number of moose-brained decisions (sending Amy, Jennifer and Latoya home too early). |

I wasn't at sucks at the time, but I always liked Fantasia. Jennifer was my favorite by far, but then George and Fanny were the other two I liked. I don't even disagree about the abrasiveness of her voice, but there have been some WORLD-CLASS artists ranging from Bob Dylan to Janis Joplin to Melissa Etheridge who have had ugly voices. It comes down to what the singer does with their ugly voice... |

I mainly "hate" Mantasia for laffos since she's so easy to rag on, but she did make up for her Donald Duck voice with a ton of stage presence,
unlike some of these contestants who just don't have anything going for them, both shitty singing and shitty command of the stage. (Hey, Julia DeMato!)

The boards were so much damn fun during season 3. Hell, TWoP was actually even fun back then too. I will never ever forget that damn Matt/JPL/JSIV shirtless pornstar chop that originated from Sucks. All I know is I was drinking something when I clicked on that image and all over my mouse/keyboard it went. |

Season 7 has the be the most meh season of all. They're all joyless and predictable. The chemistry of the judges seems way off too. Simon seems less
important which is wrong. If there is a God, the ratings should continue their collapse. I'm hoping the tour and the careers of the winners fail too.

This is officially my least favorite season ever. I hope by the time the Finale rears around the corner it's getting under 20mill viewers. The judges are
fucking ridiculous this season, as is just the general feel. The contestants act like they have the life sucked out of them.
You know something's wrong when Paula is the sole judge giving constructive criticism. This is AI's bizarro season. |

It's like all the fun has completely drained out of the show. God, even S6 had Sanjaya to make fun of. What the hell will people say about this show
tomorrow? I can barely remember it and I just saw it.

This is what happens when the show doesn't think viewers are paying attention. This happened last season when viewers didn't get that Jordin was
supposed to be the best ever. Around the top four. They made sure everyone else looked bad.
The men were supposed to be doing better than they are. The viewers were supposed to be getting rid of the people the show doesn't like. Since the viewers haven't followed the script the way they were supposed to, we get shows like tonight, with each and most of the women being told they suck no matter what, with Randy giving a standing ovation to a mediocre performance which happened to be by the show's favorite, and where pretty much everyone except Jason and Kristy acted as if they had survived some horrible cult experience. I think the atmosphere is much more depressing than they counted on because their favorites, the Davids, are both very unhappy right now, David Cook because of his brother's cancer, and David Archuleta because of his father. That means there's no balance to the people the show beats down.
