I like Fantasia Barrino

Thursday, March 25th, 2004 | Trivialities

I’m an “American Idol” fanatic.

My Tivo device is coming dangerously close to reaching its recording capacity, and my tendancy to permanently save favorite AI episodes is to blame. With episodes from this season and the last stored on my machine, other shows I record only last 2-3 days before being automatically deleted. I’ve got to get a DVD recorder.

Well, this season looks promising. There’s some real talent among the remaining 10 contestants. Although the judges seem to be pulling for Latoya London , I really like Fantasia Barrino. She’s a natural performer with a sound that reminds me of Macy Gray.

Some of these people never earned the right to be in the top 12, if you ask me. Dean Martin wannabe John Stevens completely murdered one of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs last week. Camile Velasco can’t seem to shake her crippling anxiety. And Jon Peter Lewis is surviving on charm alone.

We’ll see what happens.
