Cowell picks his 'American Idol' faves link Simon Cowell has tipped Fantasia Barrino to become the next American Idol as the show prepares to move into the finals. "If I had to choose one of the 12 now to offer a recording contract without the competition, it would be Fantasia," said Cowell after last week's wildcard show.

Fantasia is my favorite by far. I think she has the best voice and she has an amazing presence, too. I worry that she might look TOO confident, though--it seems like people love underdogs who are IMHO much less talented than Fantasia. The funny thing is that on a politics board I go to where they NEVER talk about entertainment, everyone was talking about how GREAT Fantasia is and how they plan to vote for her and LaToya. So I guess you never can tell. One other thing: I think Fantasia needs a new 'do. Get a weave and act the diva!

I'm on board with this girl, so far. Her performance level is a notch or two above everyone else right now.

Fantasia has been and is my favorite and I expect her to win. Although I felt she should've been able to take Simon's slight criticism the other night, I hope it didn't hurt her, maybe her skin isn't as thick as it seems. She's so amazing, every time she sings I get so excited, what power in her voice, to me, no one compares to her in this competition.

This girl just has to win this competition so I can buy her CD. If she does not win, I hope what Simon said is true--that she really did not need this competition to get a recording contract. I am more interested in listening to her recordings than any other Idol performer, past or present. What a pro!

I totally agree, Hobo. She was featured well on the Ford commercial tonight, too. She has a great voice to to those obligatos behind the other singers. Just amazing. Maybe next week, I'll finally have to vote this season.

Tishala, you're right about that Ford commercial. I enjoyed that too! Clearly a standout performer.

Hey Hobo it looks like we agree on lots of music! I just looked at your profile. You're also very fortunate to look like Ms. Woodard. She's a stunner.

Notice how I did say I resemble her "on a GOOD day."

I find it interesting that a lot of people on this board don't seem to love Fantasia. I thought she did great last night, fantastic on heard it through the grapevine, she's just all around amazing. I also find her personality very cute, a bit powerful, but she's so sweet. The only other contestant that I like is Jennifer Hudson, but she's no Fantasia. Even if Fantasia doesn't win, she will be a star. Go Fantasia, GO GO GO!

I like Fantasia, and many of the other contestants do too. I've read post-boot interviews with Amy and with Leah and they both singled her out as a friend, so that shoots their diva theory all to heck. That's okay, though. This lady will do fine, I'm sure.

I agreed with Randy last night. "Summertime" was the best performance on ANY idol show to date, IMO. Unless the other finalists step up their game, Fantasia is her own toughest competition. What can she do to top that performance? It was amazing.

Well, If the voting continues down this night's path, my only Fantasia CD will be the one I burn from her downloaded AI performances. (Which, if released, could probably outsell whoever ends up winning this contest--I don't think the "power-dialers" are necessarily power music buyers).

Go Fantasia..but I think it is in the cards for Diana to win I heard Randy say that on an interview...his fav is Fantasia but he thinks Diana will win. BUT I bet they will have two winners like last year. I think they will sign both Fantasia and Diana (and LaToya) and next year we will see the same thing as we are seeing this year with Rueben and Clay...Two (or three) success stories. As someone said in one of the threads, maybe the producers plan it that way...more record sales and controversy increases ratings.

do we really need to hear that diana will win in the fantasia fan club thread? aren't there enough other threads for that in general discussions?

I'd like to point out that I was the first one here on the Fantasia bandwagon and I WAS RIGHT ABOUT HER DAMMIT! I'm also not worried because I believe Fantasia will win.

Hey, Lady, I am sorry about that . I am a Fantasia fan all the way. I wasn't trying to talk Diana up in here. I really want Fantasia to win. I'll stay outta here. Sorry about that.

If you'd like to download any of Fantasia's performances, this is the place to do it. To see her spectacular Summertime performance, go here [you have to scroll down just a bit to find it in both QuickTime and MPEG formats].
