Week after week, I cannot BELIEVE what comes out of Randy's and Paula's mouths. They'll praise a wounded bear, but NOT Simon. He is right on with his criticisms and tells these no-singers the truth. Bo Bice or the blond boy will eventually win, mark my word. There is not ONE truly great singer among this current group. At least, last time, we had Fantasia, LaToya and above all, Jennifer Hudson. Like Fantasia, I believe that Hudson held back really singing the way she KNOWS she can when on American Idol. Just look at Fantasia now: she is singing (and screaming) pure, unadulterated SOUL these days and she is really coming into her own. I love her. Did you notice the faces on the current contestants when Fantasia blew everyone away with her incredible comback performance? They were in shock, but didn't take to heart Fantasia's suggestions to them. The next week, everyone was WORSE than they've ever been! <BR/>Now, it's Jennifer's turn - incredible voice, soul and stage presence. I'm waiting with bated breath. One thing, I hope they don't try to make a hip/hop idiot out of her, she's much too talented for that crap. JUST LET THE GIRL SING WHAT SHE FEELS!!!!<BR/>LaToya, Fantasia and Jennifer have the opportunity to put the "soul" back into SOUL MUSIC, which has been unfortunately bastardized by the hip/hop movement.Olivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194714.post-1114145342591488262005-04-21T21:49:00.000-07:002005-04-21T21:49:00.000-07:00I've seen John Steven's official site. <A HREF="http://www.maverick.com/johnstevens/" REL="nofollow">here</A> It is a fantastic site - they seem to be promoting him heavily. I have to admit I'm a swing fan so I would actually consider his album.<BR/><BR/>Sigh - where's Jennifer?

And it's Maverick records, for heaven's sake!Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10860962208854302800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194714.post-1113918686518183902005-04-19T06:51:00.000-07:002005-04-19T06:51:00.000-07:00SO glad to hear George & Jennifer are having some success - I loved that sweet George and hated to think of him back flippin pancakes.
