First...THAT DIDN'T MAKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SENSE!!! She sounds better than all of them. My mother said she saw on some show (Extra or something) today that they asked the four of them who they really felt would win, and they said LA TOYA.
BUT, and I've heard this discussed elsewhere (I'm too tired to scroll and see if anyone already said this), its hard for two or more blacks in the running, because blacks who they feel will be their core voting base are split between them, instead of all votes going to one or the other. They said that's why LaToya, Fantasia and Jennifer didn't have a chance as a group to make it tothe final three, our votes were split.
Now, with the Jasmine and the other girl, they have more mass appeal, because the "mass" is not black. I mean, not to be funny, but if we as blacks feel that we can out vote everyone else, we can't, even if every black voted for one of the black contestants, it wouldn't equal to if everyone else voted for the non-black contestants. That's if you wanna look at this as a racial issue.
But, I think that the white girl (I cannot remember her name for NuTHIN) will end up winning. She has a good strong voice, she's a "nice" girl, favors Lee Ann Rhimes, and she's...perky. Young people are looking for another GOOD young singer to relate to, since Christina and Brittany (not that she was good, but she was out there) have crossed over into the Land of Ho, Jessica can sing, but she's married, so out of direct role model category for teens, so that leaves Kelly and...well not much else, qualitywise for teen america, so I think she will win.
Jasmine is pretty, but not strong voiced enough. And Fantasia, well, I don't like her, sorry. Her voice is not bad, but its not Idol material.
*ducking the rotten tomatoes*
