American Icon

Thanks to Tivo and a busy schedule, I'm just now catching up with American Idol. I've just seen Fantasia Barrino perform "I Believe." It's not the greatest song ever written, but it was a great performance.

My admiration for Fantasia has already been expressed on BC.

The performance I just watched only confirms the validity of all my praise.

Even Simon Cowell knows, as he said, Fantasia is the best AI has ever put on stage.

As my wife put it, Fantasia isn't the American Idol. She is the American Icon. Only once in a generation does a talent like this come along.
