Love Fantasia. but I think voice, control and technique..Latoya is better. I knew though that Jennifer Hudson had the voice and range that these two could not match.. she was just intimidated by Idol and Simon. Look at J.Hud. now... BETTER THAN ANY IDOL. Jennifer..gettofied??? (the comment below) You definately have the wrong girl. I love Latoya a lot.. And were is she now??
voice wise, LaToya London has it all (vocals, range) except she really has no fighting spirit of winning or she really has boring personality or maybe she's just down to earth.
Fantasia was soulfully great but quite exaggerated sometimes. Jennifer was really voted out because she sings like Broadway although she has very big voice.
look at this totally robbed contestant ever in AI history. Season's 3 Lisa Leuschner. I believe she would have won that season.

I am not familair with Ms. London ( saw her once on the tom joyner show ) but this sister is extremely fine and sexy!!! I mean that in a respectable manner
She was so awsome. I am not sure why she is not more popular. she was one of the most talented ones on AI. She is sssooooooooooooooooooo talented!!! and I love the Bee Gees.
People thought she was too mature. She was married with a couple step-kids. The young audience of Idol wasn't connecting with her sophistication. I suspect something kept Melinda out of the finales.
Watching this video brings me back to what had me crushing on LaToya. Beautiful, talented, smooth lower register. She had a tendency to get a bit screechy in the upper register, but she and Fantasia held it down on Season 3
LaKisha had 2 great moments during idol, but throughout the season she really lost control of her vocals and thats why if this was a top 15 or 20 list she would just outside of the top 10... here is my additions 11. Carrie Underwood 12. LaKisha Jones 13. Diana DeGarmo 14. Gina Glocksen 15. Christina Christian 16. Brooke White 17. Jasmine Trias 18. Trenyce 19. Jessica Sierra 20. Kellie Pickler 20.
The Top 10 Best Female African American Contestants in History (IN MY OPINION) 1. LaToya London 2. Melinda Doolittle 3. Vonzell Solomon 4. Tamyra Grey 5. Jennifer Hudson 6. Mandisa 7. Paris Bennett 8. Syesha Mercado 9. Fantasia Barrino 10. Kimberley Locke This is based on there performances in there seasons
I like this because this is raw! without the daily training from voice trainers. Look at keyshia cole after her first album she has a voice trainer and she shows she's better vocally. So latoya will get better and her upper range is off the hook
@kevincheng77 OMG yes it would have been? What about a Fantasia, Latoya, Jennifer Hudson, and George Huff final 4? They were the best that season and that would have been a TOUGH decision!!

one of the worst version of this wonderful song
she doesn't stay on the beat, oversing, shout too much...
she's most taken by herself rather than the music--
sorry Barry!
