ETAA: I’ll have some sort of recap up much later today.
ETA: I’m hearing that David Archuleta has won the coin toss filmed post-show tonight. The winner gets to choose whether to perform first or second in next week’s finale. He’s chosen to perform second–he’s got the pimp spot. Archie will have the last performance of finale night.

Yes, Fantasia was a red hot mess of something different – cool and unique. A shot in the arm that the show needed. I never really got her and was prepared to dislike but dayum – she finally shook the place up in a crazy wonderful way.
I am a Fantasia fan but I hated what she did Wed. For me, it was possibly the worst thing I have ever seen on Idol. Her hair, outfit, & screaming non-lyrical performance made for a scary few minutes. Simon & I had the same look on our faces at the end.
