The official thread of AI3 - and here's a little funny to kick things off:

AI in the workplace

I love Fantasia. She's unique, she can "sang," and her name rocks!

Discuss!!

I couldn't care less about AI anymore. Last year, I was sucked into rooting for Clay *Barf* Aiken, who turned out to be a jerk.

I'm sticking with Justin...

I miss the charm and non-egos on AI 1.

LMAO at that guy smackin' her upside the head!!!

I *looooooooooooooooove* Fantasia.

Girl has some pipes and, finally, there is someone with a UNIQUE voice on that show. Until she came along, they all sang the same damn songs and they all sounded like each other, but this gal picks good stuff and sounds original. The other contestants should take notice.

I like Fantasia, but I preferred the dancer (was her name Debbie?) and the crying woman with the big hair (was her name Michelle?). The sixteen-year-old was good, too. I thought it was a strong group of eight; IMO the weakest were the Wind Beneath My Wings guy and that guy who made it into the top three.

That girl who sang Patsy Cline was horrific. She almost popped my eardrums.

I didn't love her but thought the other two were far worse.

Oh yeah, the two guys couldn't sing at all. I'm still shocked that Surfer Dude got into the top three. You know it was tweens that voted for that schmuck.

I voted for Diana. I like her a lot already and she can sing and has an amazing stage presence...not to mention she's absolutely adorable and quelle surprise! She's a clothed 16 year old!

The one girl sounded like the goat from last year. Mr. Walking In Memphis, IMO, wasn't really that stellar. Must have been the hair and his eyes that got America voting for him.

OK, Christy...

Let me know, I have to know why you think Clay is a jerk. He is from Raleigh and went to school in Charlotte, (my home) and I know many people who know him or "know people who know him." He has always come off as a very nice and genuine guy. Did you have a run-in with him or something?

I'm just curious.

He's a smarmy character is why I don't like him anymore. I rooted for him and voted on AI2, thinking, "Oh, he seems so humble and nice." Pffttt!! I saw a video of him on the net when he was on some show (Crap, wish I could remember which show, a news show, about the AI tour). Anyways, he was acting like a complete jackass and diva-ish about an audio technical thing. It was ridiculous.

Also, he's said some hateful things in articles about Justin. His die-hard fans are nuts too. I mean, they need serious mental help. Also, he acts very holier than thou in articles.

Sorry, I don't mean to offend any Clay fans, I just don't like him at all anymore. JMO.
