Fantasia sang Summertime, that is what won it for her in my mind.

Oh I loved her performance of Summertime. She was wonderful singing it. But she also sang something else that wasn't even remotely close to being a Big Band tune?

The only other song I've heard Anwar sing was Moon River. So far, I love his song selections. What did he sing last week?

On big band week, Fantasia performed "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," both in big band style. She performed "Summertime" on movie week, not big band week. All three were sublime performances IMHO.

I'm with you, Tish! And when she sang "Summertime", I said aloud, "... a star is born ...!" It made me realize that those moments are the ones that keep me riveted to American Idol. Each season, I hope there will be that perfomance that will blow me away!

I don't agree with the majority about Nikko. I actually think the only man who did a worse job of staying in tune last night was eye candy guy. Even my sig. other (who doesn't watch AI usually) said "that boy sure can't sing in tune".

Hi to all of you. just wanted to comment on some of your postings and share a few of my thoughts as well. My picks this week to go home would be Travis for all the obvious reasons. He's a talented entertainer,handsome,has that youthful charm about him but can't sing in tune a lick! I also think either Constantine or Anthony should go next but i think the public will send Nikko or Scott home. Personally I think Nikko and Mario have the best voices of the males. i think Anwar has a good voice and near perfect pitch but his voice lacks that quality that touches your soul when he sings. I think Nikko and Mario have that quality. I think they are naturally gifted vocalists and you will see they will be able to sing anything as the theme weeks come into play. I agree with those of you who think Simon and crew are pushing for a rocker to win this and it looks like Bo is their choice. He is a better singer than Constantine. Its sad but the guys are so much better than the females this year that i feel like they are taking up some spots that the better singers from the guys should have.I almost cant wait for them to be sent home or until one of them really steps up and shows something real.

Carlito you expressed perfectly what I was trying to say about Anwar-- thank you I must confess I am surprised at the lack of love here for Anthony. I wasnt a fan at the outset but thought yesterday he was just AWESOME. I sense a fierce determination and can really see him coming into his own and growing throughout the competition. He is the dark horse imo. I think his blazer and whole look btw may be European influenced.

And this is why musical taste is so subjective. Anwar is one of maybe two that does "touch my soul" (with Bo being the other). They are the only ones whose CD I would buy at this point. With all the others, I'd rather listen to the original performers of their songs.
