LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Fantasia Barrino 's fantasy of pop stardom became a reality Wednesday night when she was named the winner of "American Idol."

Barrino, a 19-year-old from High Point, N.C., with a powerful, gospel-tinged voice, topped Diana DeGarmo, an effervescent 16-year-old from Snellville, Ga.

The judges had pretty much crowned Barrino the winner the previous night, when she dazzled them with her powerful version of Gershwin's "Summertime" and two other songs.

I've gotta admit, the three winners - Kelly, Reuben, and now Fantasia - are all damn fine singers. I just wish they were given better material to sing...

Well, congrats to Fantasia. She's not my choice, I honestly think that Jennifer is a less cliche ridden (yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah for example) singer and more innovative, but I've always been as step removed from US pop.

But I STILL didn't like either version of Summertime. . . Fantasia's stuff seems fabricated rather than real to me. But that's cool. More power to her. May she have lots of success. I hope Jennifer gets a chance to record as well.
