Hi Ginny...I think it must have been pretty obvious that Fantasia would win, so it's all pretty moot...but anyway, the true mark of a pro is to be able to take lemons, and find a way to make lemonade. Even if the song was botched, Diana should have been able to read the situation and adapt...that's what a pro can do....I still found myself wondering what Leah would have looked like standing up there at the end...singing HER final song as the winner...pine, pine ,pine!!!

REGARDING DIANA DEGARMOS LAST PERFORMANCE!!


My friend Janet was at the rehearsal for the finale today (she's a
Fantasia fan keep in mind) but she told me that something happened
that no one knows about but the people that were in the rehearsal ..
she told me so I HAVE to share because I can't BELIEVE this .. it's
regarding Diana DeGarmo.

Janet told me that during rehearsal Diana's last song "Don't Cry Out
Loud" was PERFECT and she nailed it. Everyone was in awe. But the
minute she stepped on that stage after her first 2 songs to perform
it LIVE they changed up the song mojuluation on her and it went flat
and Diana started freaking out. They also made the song longer ..
they didn't TELL her and they changed it up on NATIONAL
TELEVISION .. LIVE! They also planned during certain parts in the
song where Diana fell flat because of this to turn up the volume so
it was made noticeable.

Janet told me after she performed, Diana's mom told her this and
John Steven's mom and Carmen Rasmussen's mom commented on this as
well (since they all were also at the rehearsal).

I'm sorry, but the show had NO RIGHT to do that to her regardless of
the fact they want Fantasia to win. To pull that on someone is
unacceptable.

Please feel free to copy this message Diana fans and post it ON ANY
MESSAGE BOARD YOU WANT. I got permission from my friend and she said
this needs to be leaked out in the media and other fans. As a
Fantasia fan she said her friends and herself found this to
be "incredibly wrong" of the show to do.

What the producers will do to get their way .. it sickens me. Let
America decide who they want. Don't pull stupid crap to try to sway
the voting.

And another side note, I found the judges comments to be incredibly
inappropriate after her last song .. HER LAST SONG IN THE TOP 2 OF
AMERICAN IDOL .. HER ***LAST**** PERFORMANCE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ONE
GOOD THING TO SAY?!?! Terrible.
