We'll have plenty to say about the impending showdown between David Cook and David Archuleta in the days leading up to next week's final.
For now, though, let's go back to last night - and the performance of Fantasia Barrino on the show. Wow!
The former American Idol champion scared the heck out of Simon Cowell by sporting red hair as she sang the song "Bore Me." Check out the rendition NOW.
What did you think of Fantasia's performance, as well as her new look?

I thought she looked horrible and I could not stand all of that screaming. I rarely comment on any of these things but thought that all she did was scream and screech!!

One thing you have to say about Fantasia---she's got balls. She does what she wants because SHE wants to. I admire that in her. There is rarely middle ground---you love or hate what she is doing, but you will definitely FEEL something. That's how she became the American Idol. Her passion and talent won America over.
Having said that, I'm guessing she does not have much of a PR person or Fantasia completely overrides them at every turn. The Woody Woodpecker hair do was not flattering. The song choice was highly energetic but mostly unintelligible (even after looking at the lyrics, it is still hard to understand what she is singing/screaming.) All in all, it is the most energy that AI stage has had in a long while and is short circuited Simon's brain.
I still think she's awesome. You cannot turn away from Fantasia. Her perfomance of "Bore Me" was anything BUT boring.

I think she was wonderful she is a strong individial and she has fought to get were she is at. To those who didnt like it and thought she just screamed alot you must have never heard other black stars such as patty labell shaka kaun but what do i know these ladies have awards and money and you who didnt like it have bad taste

Her voice sucked and so did her performance. I'm not a big fan of screaming and looking at her with that ugly red doo was enough to make anyone sick.

I totally loved Fantasia last night, too! Her natural and exuberant energy, her performing talent, her originality and stage presence. She was awesome crazy FUN!!! She made the show worth watching. Otherwise, it would have been one of the most boring Idol nights ever. I really think Fantasia saved the show last night and gave everybody a lesson of what a true Idol should be about.

Wow as per usual people with little talent, average Americans judging music! As a Pro Producer i put to you is Prince a hack? James Brown. Come on guy's screaming. She has a voice most cannot fathom. Your opinion is your own, she won for a reason and Simon god love him had to be impressed talent wise. Did it work the way that he wanted it to, perhaps not. But that was one hell of a performance!

Fantasia's performance was awesome - lively, energetic and foot stomping. I could care less that I couldn't understand what she was saying - she was FUN to watch and made you want to dance, clap and just get moving. I've not seen or heard something that alive on American Idol all season. Her creativity deserves praise. I'm not familiar with her at all, but she won me over. I've played the video over a few times - just love it. As far as her appearance, it's all about individuality, feeling comfortable with herself, and again, having FUN.
Loved Simon's frozen face - that came in second.

I loved Fantasia. she actually made AI fun to watch, her voice is amazing! You have to get sick of the winey ballods that AI contestants sing all the time, and those cheesey opening numbers before the show starts. Fantasia is sassy, spunky, and it was an awesome performance. Oh and Prince, Madonna, Cindy Lauper, have all died their hair strange colors, I think its boring middle America that cant handle performers that think outside the box!
