Of course, George went deeper in the competition than Miss Hudson. It was a great season and the winner, Fantasia, is without doubt the most talented female contestant that has ever appeared on 'Idol'. I'm in good company with my opinion about Tasia as Cowell, Seacrest and Randy have said the same thing many times over the years since she won.

Both of these ladies are talented, but in my opinion they are completely diffrent. Fantasia sings with color like Patty Labelle where as JHUD sings with power like Aretha Franklin. They shouldn't be compared because they're styles are different things and they do their separate things very well.
