Brap brap WICKED a young Tina Turner, Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin rolled into 1. What a voice what a talented woman. Blessings from above Amen still listening in 2020.
Soooooooooooooooooo awesome! She is beautiful, talented and maintains her decency on stage. The greatest performer since Whitney. Can't wait to see her again in Georgia.
A powerhouse singer like her has the ability to compromise between the intended style of the song or showcasing their vast and powerful range. Best singer on Idol!
Fantasia will always be my favorite but I believe what Simon was trying to say is she over did it and she should have simplified it. It was have been just as great, even better. And I noticed last year, she had a habit of screeching and she doesn't do that anymore. She is the BEST singer of this generation, thus far.
Techincally it doesn't matter what we think because the Man hiself Elton John Loved it, Elton is like E F hutton Lol!!! when he says he doesn't like it then we can comment
attention idol fans the time as come to start requesting her new single "collard greens and cornbread" on your local radio station and buy it on itunes
I doubt racism has anyting to do with who got voted for .I don't know anything about american idol, I was just watching a few on youtube past few hours. I came here because I randomly clicked on a fantasia link. She's beautiful singer, even though I don't know music at all. I came here and I see all of the fighting and disagreement among the people who DO follow the show. Personally, I think you people aren't seeing the forest through the trees. Fantasia can sing. That's all that matters. To my ears she's indistinguishable from any famous singer. This show shouldn't stop someone like her from doing her craft. That's the bottom line. If she's good and the show's voters ignore it, that's their fault.
yeh, she is wonderful. and she wanted everyone to know where she is coming from, the book, the film. this is a bit of the cosmos coming back to us. left with Aretha, Whitney came back as Fantasia. no doubt about that.
Well I totally agree with him. And here are my five cents ... sometimes a song can be performed very simple and more natural without having all the high and low notes compressed which sounds to me often more beautiful.
@cellerosvision Well Fantasia was the only contestant that had the honor to sing at Elton John tribute singing sorry seems to be the hardest word had Elton in tears you need to look up the video. Anyway I love me some Tasia and for future reference years after Idol Sir Elton still says Fantasia was his favorite and Season 3 was the best season Ever
completely agree. her kind of voice used to be celebrated until all these britney-barbie types came along and suddenly the "acceptable standard" for musical talent became some nasally, pitchy, flat voice with little true emotion and soul. fantasia's kind of voice was celebrated in Aretha and Patti's day - i appreciate clean singing as well but you're completely right - this is SOUL.
yeah... people just don't get Fantasia. And thats cool, but don't cut her down. Shes REALLY not a recording artist though. I've heard some of the crap they've put her voice to on albums.. and it really sucks hard. But when shes been on Broadway or doing ANY other live performance? INCREDIBLE! I think the album media just loses her energy in the translation or something. And her energy is .... FANTASTIC. Hence her name... Her mom apparently resaw this or something.
Whatever happened to this girl? She should have been as huge as Kelly Clarkson is today! I don't think I've heard of any of her songs or even if she has any of her own! Sad!
@ntv5000 thats not funnie thats juss mean and i knoe this was 7 months ago and this might have changed ... and if yu still dont think she cant sing after hearing one of her songs on "Back to me" honestly ... oh nevermind cuz i dont have anything nice to say ... have a blessed day =)
Tashia voice is a force 2 b wreckon with! She's a beast, I think she is so undrated! She just might need to get rid of whomeva is writting her material. She should be up there with Biance by now! But she is still at a beginner stage of her music! I would love 2 hear her and Leandria from Sunday Best sing something 2gether! I would prob loose my mind if that eva happend LOL!!!!!
Agent you need to go to a African American Church ⛪️ and listen to the choir and it will have you jumping up and down before you leave out those doors and feeling on top of the world 🌎.#OBP
@taurusg32 Aretha can still sing, however in the 80's Aretha was starting to lose her voice because she smoked 40 cigarettes a day.(According to Aretha herself she stopped in 1991 because she admitted that it ruined her voice) Fantasia on the other hand does not smoke so I highly doubt she will be like the current Aretha.
@stardusth2o Simon never sang in his life perhaps, he certainly knows the business of music better but he does not understand music like Randy. I guess he is waiting for the good ole days of Dr. Do Little's music. Give him some sweet melodies from "happy days" and he be fine.
1.put your hand over your mouth 2.make a wish in your hand 3.make it into a fist 4.put against your heart for 5 seconds 5.put this on 3 videos 6.tomorrow will be the best day of your life

A powerhouse singer like her has the ability to compromise between the intended style of the song or showcasing their vast and powerful range. Best singer on Idol!
They were already prepping her for success by the way she entered into the song.

It's a great version!
Simon says he loved her. Aww Simon. But, Simon rarely gave her negative critiques. I love her for not letting Simon get to her.

Fantasia will always be my favorite but I believe what Simon was trying to say is she over did it and she should have simplified it. It was have been just as great, even better. And I noticed last year, she had a habit of screeching and she doesn't do that anymore. She is the BEST singer of this generation, thus far.
Beautiful woman ❤️

Was Simon watching a whole different performance? What screeching? Where?
Ooo, super!
Get it Fantasia!
Simon is always on point. Overall, she did a great job but she didn't need to overdo it. A more subdued performance would have sufficed.
The next whitney houston.. powerful voice...Miss Fantasia...
Simon gets on my nerves bt I like him. And WHY does he keep saying her name like that!!!!!!!!!!!
BrownBeauty XOXO ....he is in love with her.
attention fans request her new single "im doing me" on your local radio station so we can help on the charts

Very well written/said. I agree with you.
Simon had to be critical of her performance to keep her fans on their toes and make sure we voted.
sang gurl
yeh, she is wonderful. and she wanted everyone to know where she is coming from, the book, the film. this is a bit of the cosmos coming back to us. left with Aretha, Whitney came back as Fantasia. no doubt about that.

so love her WHAT a difference money makes... lol
1goldbaby She looks the same. She got braces. That's all.
She. Is. Even. Better. Than Beyonce. Mom e soul. Her singing. Touches your soul

wow
LOVE THE EARRINGS
WOW
@averagehomosapien Actually that scratching means she is going about two or three octaves to high to the point where her voice almost can't handle it.
whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa chilllssssssssssssssss
woooooow!

well BLiz3AK if her voice is horrible why did you bother to even click on the video to listen?Either you really do like her or your just a true HATER!
No studio version?
@TopazSkillMauler This performance was almost over five years ago and she not a hooker. As a matter of fact shes very successful
what's he supposed to say, he hated it? He wouldn't do that on T.V
yeah... people just don't get Fantasia. And thats cool, but don't cut her down. Shes REALLY not a recording artist though. I've heard some of the crap they've put her voice to on albums.. and it really sucks hard. But when shes been on Broadway or doing ANY other live performance? INCREDIBLE!
