    What I've always admired about Fantasia is that she doesn't just sing, she emotes. You literally see her tearing up towards the end, struggling to sing, "I'm beautiful." That's what makes her renditions different from others. She really feels the words she's singing and her delivery takes you on that journey with her.

    I think they should have picked Fantasia to sing this song when Oprah was honored at the Kennedy Center. Jennifer Hudson is great, but Fantasia is in ANOTHER CATEGORY. She doesn't need two, three notes to move you ... she just needs ONE, the first one that comes out of her mouth. Period. Every single word she sings has a lifetime of meaning behind it. What a gift!

      I think you're right. I haven't gotten to see Fantasia act (or even sing that much, either), but I get the impression she really digs in to the soul and meaning. I certainly admire Jennifer H., but I also look forward to seeing her grow as an actress (including acting songs like this one), because she has much more depth to find, if she can.

      Her tone is ugly as hell, she’s a technical beast, but I can only take so much of that abrasive nasal tone. I much prefer her as a character in a show where that tone is broken up between other performers, but I can’t do a full album of just her. She moves me with her soul, but there’s nothing she can do about that God given tone, it’s a love it or hate it type of thing.

      To compare this version to her Broadway performance is ridiculous. It is obvious that she was asked to sing as herself in this video. Watching her last Broadway performance gives me chills every time I watch it. There is something about the way she carries herself and how there is a clear shift in her body language as she progresses through the song. POWERFULLY MOVING is how you describe the level of vulnerability and triumph she gives this song.

    The vocal coaching she gleaned while performing in this play shows in her later performances of this song. Her mid belts and control intensified, and her resonance and clarity improved.

    • @beenhim9229

      I agree. Her Broadway experiences have done wonders to her vocals. How Fantasia approaches a song now is totally different than how she would have Pre-Broadway. That’s what I’m excited to see in her reprisal in the film adaptation, how she will approach the role all these years later, I just know whatever it looks like it will be beautiful.. again.

    I love her interpretation of this.. she is venerable, strong and feels what she is singing. Which is what you need for that character “Celie” . The passion and the venerable is what stood out to me from the rest. Bravo Fantasia

    Jennifer and Fantasia both are power houses. Vocals beyond anyone one of our imaginations. They are both in the same category as Whitney Houston. They are all different in their talents, but not one is more talented than the other. I appreciate each and every one of their voices for what they are and that's utter music to my ears. I can sit and listen to anyone of the three women I mentioned for hours on end, and still want more. Bless those vocals.

    I saw Fantasia on broadway, and it's definitely a powerful memory. There were times when the show seemed more than she could carry, and then moments where she was the only thing I cared about in the universe.
    But, the joy of this performance is the larger picture. Fantasia Barrino was not supposed to be here. Her life story and the things that happened definitely hurt her ability to share her art earlier/sooner/better. There isn't much she can do about that, except she can infuse all of that into this moment.
    Cause, one of the joys of musical theater, is the ability to turn a song or lyric into a moment. A great song in a show is never just a song, and wherever and whenever you carry that song, you carry a character, a story, an arc, or just a moment in a person's life that feels real.
    Fantasia ain't Celie, but somehow, when she sings her about her children, about the things she can still hold on to, about the hard and easy days, about the beauty in her that it took some hard days to finally see? That's not words on a page but an entire life she can communicate in a few minutes of singing.
    A friend of mine saw Fantasia on broadway multiple times and said that often she would be crying through most of the show. However, she could still communicate the character and emotion of the moment well enough to make an entire audience of New Yorkers bawl their eyes out 8 times a week.
    And the fact that I still cry every time I come back to this video a decade later? That's some amazing stuff.
