Which of the 12 finalists is the most unique and original?

American Idol: Season 3 Forum

ok, nobody wants to hear the same pop voices coming out of the competition over and over again right? we as people love origianilty, and we love a unique voice. so which finalist if the most unique?

the most unique is definitely Jasmine..she is from hawaii..but she sings soulful r and b....and she does it very well..unlike her fellow native...i love her voice..she said she has trouble singing other styles ...especially when she had to do the country thing....

im ki nd of thinking that none of the finalists are really original.... none of them seem to stand out... i dont really see any of them having really truly original voices.

well..i can say..i have never heard anyonen sing as dry as john stevens..i guess that is unique and different..not a good unique..but yet and still unlike any other. i wish someone would pinch him before he sings so maybe he would wake up before he "performs" if you want to call it that....lol...

hahaha i totally agree, i practically fall asleep during his performances. people say they like him because he is differnt. he only seems differnt because hes in a POP contest. hes not differnt at all, he sounds like all the other sinatra wanabees and when america realizes that, then he will finally be gone.

Most original, before she got the boot, was the one and only Camile Velasco. All the others had the same belter-capacity voices and "falta attention" personalities. In contrast, Camile was camera-shy, definitely a unique trait in a competition as dog-eat-dog as AI. She wasn't aware of her beauty too, very low-key. Unliek the others, who always look as if they're advertising toothpaste because they crack such wide smiles. Ugh!
I miss you Camile. My heart goes out to you girl...Keep the flame burning, and nurture your talent.....

camile was probably the most original out of all of the finalists. she had a differnt kind of tone to her voice that no finalists, throughout all 3 seasons of american idol had. she was quiet and softspoken, and wasnt always trying to get the camera on her like some of the others. people confused her shyness for attitude which is ridiculous to me. now that camile is off the show, she has better things coming for her. she'll be moving out to california and start recording music that is more her style. she has already written 3 full songs and has music to go with them also. good luck camile!!!

Hi! I know, and its obvious from your postings, that you're also a Camile V. follower/fanatic/supporter... and thanks for that. You seem to be very updated with the latest news and information which Camile has been doing.. How'd you do it? And are u a member of this other Camile-devoted forum canmed http://camile-velasco.org?
What is the definitive member forum to subscribe to that gives accurate information on Camile, her latest career moves, etcetera? Thanks ahead

I want you to know about 5 people from ym language class here in Makati are totally gaga over Camile & Jasmine, they make us proud to be Filipinos...And it hurts to think she has gone the route of the yellow brick road...shucks!

i know it was sad to see her go, but i actually think it might be for the best... it was obvious that camile isnt as comfortable performing pop songs, so she'll probably be going back to her hip-hop style. it has just been announced on the hawaii news that she has been offered a record deal from singer babyface. good job camile!

The most unique huh....

Well...if I really look at it...I would say none of them have a uniqueness to them....they all pretty much sound like someone else....which makes them un-unique...

Fantasia has been compared to Macy Gray, JS to Frank Sinatra.

Been there, done that.

Honestly...as much as Camille sounded pretty bad...I think I really enjoyed her "tone." It was a low voice and for the right music I think she could do well.....so with that said...maybe she was a tad bit more unique....

She wasnt my favorite....but Im assuming that my favorite has nothing to do with who I think was/is most unique.

what was the song that Camile sang when they were trying to get into the top 12.. She was Awesome then.. does n e one know where i can get that on audio?

i think that the most original and most unique idol is John Stevens!!!!! i think his voice is AMAZING!! and i hope he wins sooo VOTE JS!!!

My opinions:

I am fairly sure that Camille will have many offers for contracts but i just hope that she takes the best one and not rush into anything. I think that she is an amazing prospect because not only does she sing so well - i wont say unique cos i think she sings a little like Lauryn Hill who i really love - but she can also play the piano ... kinda like Alica Keys actually! She could do really really well with the right backing.

John Stevens is unique in the fact that no one his age would want to sing the kind of songs that he loves.

Fantasia does have a Macy Gray/Aretha thing going which is really good when she picks the right song (i too thought that her Elton rendition was her poorest so far).

George has this husky voice which is very unique in itself and will no doubt lead him to great things ... he just seems to get stronger and stronger each week.

you couldnt say that Latoya, Jasmine, or Diana are unique.

JPL is different but much of that was to do with his personality and quirkiness which has strangely enough been missing from his last couple of performances - he seems to have lost his spark...

Jennifer has a power house of a voice and has a personality to match but its like a gospel singer .. not really unique.

i think Camille sang One Last Cry

oh ok.. thanks!

no..actually the song camille auditioned on was "Ready or Not" by Fugees.. Lauryn Hill is the lead singer of that once popular group of hatian rappers and singers....and that is who camille idolizes and wants to sound like..she really isnt original either because if you listen to lauryn..camille does a great imitation of her..and sounds a whole lot like her..

hi j_butter_b, Camille sang Ready or not at the initial auditions to get through to hollywood and then sang One Last cry to get into the final 12 if i'm not mistaken.

Its been a shame that Lauryn Hill hasnt released a song for ages .. i think she may have stopped ... but i'm glad that Camille has such a similar voice and can carry on where Lauryn left off

Fantazia without a doubt most unique with talent. John is unique ,but so is a frog in the dessert and he can't sing either

I really like George's sound, and JPL's spunk, but I would definitely have to agree that John Stevens has got the most unique sound. I mean yes, of course, we all know he has been compared to Frank Sinatra. But come one, everyone is going to sound like SOMEBODY. And honestly, Frank Sinatra is definitely not a bad person to be compared to, no? Frank Sinatra had a wonderful sound - in his voice as well as his music in general - that is definitely lacking in today's musical generation. His day was a great time in music history, and I for one would love to see it come back. Michael Buble is doing what he can, but hopefully John's exposure will help push it. If anyone agrees with me, please feel free to IM me: my AOL sn is WiseSamHP86, the address you can use for MSN is WiseSamHP86@yahoo.com and my Yahoo SN is ClayDork67.

Fantasia sounds like Nell Carter *chuckle*..

Jennifer has it hands down.Even,for some reason, she isn't chosen,she will still go further than who ever wins. Look at Clay. He's going farther than Reuben ever will.

o ok..cool jayb....didnt knwo which time you were speaking of...my bad

JOHN STEVENS FOR SURE! He is finally bringing back the normal music that should have stayed around. Not like rap, which is all about money/cars/whores/and how many times the rapper got shot. And also he is bringing back singing. In rap all we hear is music being talked to. Disgusting. He is bringing beautiful music and singing back into the world along with Josh Groban, and Micheal Buble, and also Hayley Westenra.

its not a popularity contest! Fantasia is the greatest end of story......

I think Fantansia is obviously the most unique. Shes the star of the whole show and she brings personality along with extreme talent. The fact that she has a child, is something many will hold a against her, but I nod my head to her for not being one of those people who hide the true them just to please America. Fantasia keep doing your thing girl!

Fantasia is obviously the most unique in the competition. She brings a lot of talent and personality to the stage. The fact that she has a child and is not married, is what a lot of people will hold against her, however i nod my head to Fantasia for not being one of those people who try to hide the true or real them just to please America. Someone thats real and true to themselves regardless of what everyone else will think, thats the definition of a true American Idol. Fantasia keep doing your thing girl!

John Stevens....JPL....

to be different, you can't be scarred to be yourself and I think that is what John and JPL were...themselfs and that made them different and great!!!!

right..Fantasia is the most unique...she is Not afraid to be different...she doesnt sound like anyone else...she doesnt even sound like macy gray to me..because i will bet you any amount of money...MACY cannot do those riffs...lol...

Fantasia is alright but I am not a big fan of hers. I just don't like her voice. She's good though...they all are. I don't know my favorite is gone so I am not into the show much anymore and out of the last ones left...I hope George gets back on his game because he is really good.....I would like to see him go far....

CAMILE




was the most unique. her voice was low and sexy, and she's got that hawaiian laid-back personality she's so hot i can't wait to see her on the american idol 3 tour this fall!

when is your show? Mine is in August in Atlanta (diana's homestate)...so I can't wait....

i think fantasia was the most unique singer there was now it was some good one's like latoya and jennifer but fantasia did her thing. you go gurl.

Latoya had an out standing voice this season but...I still say that my favorite was Diana...she was unbelieveable for a 16 year-old.....


(John Stevens and JPL were my favorite boys....)

i think JPL wa sthe most unique...he anced soo good... no one compared to his Star magnitude!! hes the ful AI package he ROCKS

goly yall.....derrr......JPL!! John Stevens was kool and all but JPL just was the whole reason to watch the show

I liked JPL's dancing....it was cute...and no one can do it as well as he
