Jennifer and Jessica were two of my favorites and I'm really really
sorry we never got to hear Lisa Leuschner in the top 12. I don't think
Trenyce or George were underrated though. They both went out higher
than I though they should have

THe only one of these I'd say was overrated was Vonzell, she of the
constant pitch problems. Constantine wasn't always consistent, but then
he did go out earlier than many expected so I wouldn't say he was overrated.

Nice voice, but lousy stage presence. There is a certain "Ick" quality to
him.

Huff was my fav in season 3 but he had at least three weeks in a
row where he made poor song choices before he finally got the boot.
You end up asking yourself if he ever really did sing well and you
begin to wonder why you liked him in the first place. Not the
memory you want to leave people with. Song choice can make or break
you. Also, didn't George do the Bobo?

I wouldn't really characterize it as combining "intricate dance steps and
leg movements." It was more like "Leaning to one side and gently hopping."
No dance or leg movements involved.

It's Fantasia's signature dance. It's not much different from jogging in
place, except you don't wear shoes or a bra when doing it.

Some people still believe that a booming voice equals talent. That's
why you see a bunch of these morons yell out their song. Hudson is a
one-trick pony. Any song you hand to her, she'll only sing it one way
- she'll belt it out. She has no control. Remember when she sang the
Manilow song? That was hilarous. How can anyone yell out the song
Weekend in New England?

Wagnerian soprano, Margaret Harshaw, is sometimes credited with saying
that "if you want to find great big beautiful voices, go to a truck
stop." Big voices are common, artists aren't. When in comes to
performing, it's still brain more than brawn.

Well, you may think that Jennifer Hudson belongs in the overrated
category, but apparently Hollywood doesn't agree with you. She beat out
Fantasia for the roll of "Effie" in "Dreamgirls", so we will see how
well she does in December. I really enjoyed her on AI.

Jennifer Hudson..... a natural actress, she was actually playing a role
on AI as a singer, but didn't realize it.

Hudson is indeed over-rated but if you put her in the right role, she
sounds really good. When she sang Circle of Life, pairing the style of
music to her style of singing, then she looks very good at it. On the
other hand, when you pair her up with a song that requires the singer
to actually sing softly with a mellow touch, that's when Hudson sounds
really bad. That's why I call her a one-trick pony but it doesn't mean
she won't have a great career ahead of her.
