DeGarmo said she suspected at the start of the show that she'd lost when producers told the girls, " 'Fantasia, you'll be singing Dreams, and Diana, you'll sing I Believe.' " Realizing they wouldn't have the winner sing I Believe (the first single to be released this summer) twice, DeGarmo put the pieces together. "I was sitting there going, 'Well, you just told me who won,' because they wanted I Believe to be the (final) song for the winner."

Yeah, I figured the same thing when I heard her singing that song early in the show. I wonder why the producers did that. Seemed like a dead giveaway to me.

They've done that every season. Last year Ruben had Flying Without Wings. Clay had Bridge Over Troubled Water, haha.

Yes, but I don't think Clay sang the "winners" song Flying Without Wings. Diana sang I Believe (the song she knew was the winners single) before the end of the show, thus knowing she did not win.
