Here is my take on it.... I think that the voters figured that she already made it. The judges have repeatedly said that she is a "star" and has a "great career" ahead of her. So I am assuming that the voting public figured why not give someone else a shot. Especially after her comment Tuesday night. Which btw, didn't bother me in the least, but I am sure alot of people took her confidence and words as if she didn't care if she won or lost.
Lixy, I am with you on the Jasmine thing! I am shocked that she has made it as far as she has. I think she was downright awful on Tuesday. ![Rolleyes](images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

It ceased being a talent competition quite a while back.

Coaster- AI takes roughly 70,000 people who think they can sing, and wittle it down to 5 groups of 12 people. Each of the first 4 groups gets wittled down to 2 more people, based on call-in votes done by the viewers. The 5th group is call backs. They are people who didn't make the cut, but that the judges feel have excellent voices. They gow through the same process again, except votes only pick 1 person, then each of the 3 judges pick someone, and that gives us the final 12.
Each week, they sing 1 song, and again, people call in votes. The next day, they hold another show where they eliminate someone, based on votes. The person who goes is the person with the least amount of votes.
Right now, we just got whittled to the top 3- Diana DeGarmo, Jasmine Trias, and Fantasia Barrino. La Toya London was cut last night, and Fantasia was just barely above her in votes.
What's rather upsetting right now, is that Jasmine bombed her songs on Tuesday, and still managed to not get cut. She garnered a lot of pity votes, I think. That, and I'm willing to bet that most the voters felt that both Fantasia and La Toya had plenty of votes to keep them in. They were the two who were being hailed as the top 2 singers in the group.
So, now it's down to Diana, Jasmine, and Fantasia, and the contest is pretty much over, because Fantasia is a favorite, though Diana is my favorite. Jasmine just won't hold up another week.
The way I got hooked was the audition stage, where they show some GOD AWFUL singers trying to act like they are good. It's hilarious at that stage, then you get hooked into watching it to see how far it goes.

I wasn't pleased by LaToya's comment on Tuesday night. She didn't sound excited or one bit "hungry". I don't know if that's why she got cut or not, but it might have cost her some votes. I do know that this isn't the first time that the person sent home was so obviously the wrong person. Why Fantasia was also in the bottom two is a mystery to me. Clearly it should be Fantasia and LaToya duking it out on the last night.
Sad to say, I'm not going to be watching the show any longer. At least last year, it made SOME sense.

My guess is just that so many people figured others would be voting for those two. I'd be interested in knowing the actual number of votes each person gets from week to week, though.

They've come this far. But who has what it takes to go all the way? We may learn Tuesday night when the ladies each sing three songs, one that they chose, one that the judges chose and one that music industry giant Clive Davis chooses for them.

It makes me sad that it's come down to these three... but after reading all of your posts, it seems that the same fate has befallen LaToya as did Jennifer. I can't say that I'm sad to see LaToya go, as I was not a fan of hers, but she was talented. Of the three that are left... I hope that Fantasia wins, as much as it pains me to say that. ![Smilie](images/smilies/smile.gif) Neither Diana nor Jasmine deserve to win, if you ask me.

If Jasmine makes it to the last round, I think they pretty much have to give up on half their veiwing audience.
Diana is good, R4T, she has an amazing talent, one that is natural born. She would blossom rather nicely under the teachings of a regular vioce coach, though, so she can get a bit more control.
I don't really think it's a contest anymore. Fantasia will sweep the votes hands down.

Not sure who will win now...and I better not hope for any particular contestant. It all goes kaplooey when I do. I'm hoping it's Diana and Fantasia in the final two. With the way America is voting...the winner will prolly be Jasmine, though!

-grins- I signed up for an american idol yahoo group tuesday night as they were playing the show, and a big theme in the past few days has been: Yeah, but would America actually buy Jasmine's cd's?
My thought is, Hell, if they buy William Hungs shit, of course they'd buy her music.
Overall, she's not a bad singer. She just needs some coaching, and a break to recuperate. She's showing her stress in her voice, and cracking under the pressure. I can't imagine her holding up well on concert tours, and what not, if she can't handle this.
Simon's big gripe has been that Diana is too young, but I think in terms of how well prepared the girls are, it's Jasmine who's just touch too young yet.

I think another thing that won Jasmine votes was her water works display. I felt bad when she cried..but damn that dosn't mean people should vote for someone who dosn't deserve to win. I've been a Fantasia supporter from the beginning. I like her....I know a lot of you don't. I like her spunk. And I love her voice.
