direction (Hey, I started this thread

).
I've never really considered the weight thing. Mandisa was a big girl, and she did really well, until the end when she blew it. Not sure about Ruben.
Aretha is simply HUGE now. But if she were Mandisa size, (like the size she was in the Blues Brothers Movie, certainly not thin) and was really the Aretha voice, then there would be no way she WOULDN'T win.
Right?
