After just watching her Tina Turner tribute on the Grammys last night, I’m a ball of emotions right now 😩🥹🥰 Fantasia is living breathing proof that nothing we do in life is EVER wasted. She had NO idea on that night, 20 years later, she’d be where she is right now. We watched her gain it all, lose it all, work for it all, and gain it back 10 fold. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am truly inspired to keep going. I hope everyone reading this feels the same.. 🫶🏾✨
@Zestii Perfect bitch have you seen my pictures? I make fantasia look like shit!...who would be jealous of a homewrecker chipmunk looking bitch!...She put the u in ugly....
Isn't that the truth?!!! Last show during COVID 19 was so hard to take seriously. I don't remember any participants in the last 8 or 9 years, to be honest. But, I can still name all the top 12 of the 1st season. Who remembers dialing the phone over and over to vote for your fav? I think I called 40 times for Kelly Clarkson on the finale. haha.
I think they reigned her in a little for American Idol, you see her performances after Idol and she GOES OFF. They weren't even ready!! They weren't reeeeeaddy!!!
I wish Fantasia had been a young adult back in the early 1960s when the great Motown groups were so popular. Everyone would have been crazy about her singing! Amazing performance!!!
I would not have wanted her to be on Motown though. Her sound would have been watered down. She would have killed it on Stax/Volt or some of the other straight down-home R&B labels.
She is the only one who can do a Tina Turner song justice. Tina and Fantasia should of done this as a duet. They have similar voices and styles. Now that would have been a hit record on all of the charts. Thanks for the post.
Fantasia stayed true to herself and her voice. She could sing any song they gave her and she made it her own. She is hands down the best Idol winner ever simply because she was herself, nothing superficial, nothing fake.
Fantasia has one of the most amazing voices. Simon's right- she's a throwback to the golden age of vocalists; pure soul voice. Better than Aretha. Just incredible. I just wish she'd release more old school music than she does because I think the market is missing that and I think her vocals need to be centre stage more. Have you heard her Summer time with Chaka? Fantasia is sublime.
I am a former Entertainment Executive and I normally don't reply on the videos. However, it is truly amazing how Paula Abdul predicted everything that would come forth in success for Fantasia. Not to mention Clive Davis got the Artist he said he would sign too. Thanks Simon for picking a terrific song for her to further showcase that she had what it took to garner the accolades she still gets to this very day. I can only hope that the show ends with an Artist just as talented. Farewell IDOL 2016
+LaMecha R As I watched Idol the year Fantasia won it seemed to me that Simon sort of knew that Fantasia was the best in the competition. I think that Fantasia was his girl from the start. She was mine too.
+LIL RAE Thanks for the reply on my comment. However this year I feel that there is some backlash that LaPorsha is experiencing from the favouritism the judges were showing her. Just last week she ended up in the bottom two! Her songs chosen for her lately have been horrible choices or second from the best that she should have had. She even kind of hinted towards that on Thursday. The voting mechanisms have been weird too in blocking access to vote through the FOXNOW app. I tried to raise attention to this matter on her Twitter as well as to reach out through the app to inform them of the issue yet there has been no response??? So I will say this as a professional. The label that American Idol is using would not be the best fit for her and that has been very clear over the past week. If she doesn't win it may be for the best to make sure she has the freedom to choose which label to go with and excel like Jennifer Hudson did. My guess is that Trent will end up getting the popular vote. All of Idol sites keep pushing his image and Dalton. We will see...
I Absolutely Love Tasia AND she actually made the show Worth Watching out for thee Next Tasia she has that amazing sellout show's talent across the country frfr... #Kudos Sis.
Listening to this brought back great memories of that season. It was a great season. Simon made me get online to listen after seeing him on Oprah today. He still says Fantasia & Carrie Underwood are his favorite Idols. He still loves Fantasia and so do I!!!
Oommggg such a pretty girl !! I found out about her through the movie that was created a long time ago . I'm glad I did though , because she is amazing in every way !
You're right she is a vocal beast. Vocally she can not be touched. I've seen her live a few times and let me just say, she held back on Idol. She really is a talented and beautiful lady. Love her.
I never watched American idol much,but when fantasia was on omg,i didn't miss a single performance she was sooooooo captivating and amazing, she totally deserve to win!!!!! Love you fantasia!!!!!😍😚💖💖💖💖💖

Fantasia did not need Idol- Idol needed her!!!
Hi there..how are you doing? Hope you're fine and staying safe?
Absolutely!!!! 🎯 Fantasia Can Sang-- No Doubt About!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
You are so right!!! She made this show!!!!
You are absolutely right 💯💯 percent
Indeed!
Every word of what Paula said came true. Fantasia is a STAR!
Of record. In concert. On Broadway. MOVIES!!!
Yes!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS❤
Absolutely ❤❤❤
Yes! Paula must be so proud of her today!😊
The greatest stage presence in the history of American Idol. She OWNS the stage like no other.
FANTASTIC fantasia
I look to you by Whitney Hostan
It's her stage!!!
are you deaf?
@@Dion_Mustard no. Are you stupid?
Now Fantasia is doing Tina Turner tributes!!! That girl can sing anything.and knows how to connect with the crowd!
American Idol has never been the same since FANTASIA WON, the best American Idol ever. FANTASIA WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY! ILY
fantasia kelly and carrie are the 3 best American idols of all the seasons
+oNegLeEk they are the 3 actually making music
joan crawford FACTS!!!
@Jennifer Yearwood Jennifer was actually eliminated after being in the bottom 2 with Fantasia
How can any one come after her. This girl showed her natural ass off. She was there to win nothing less, nothing more.
This aged oh so well. The leading lady of The Color Purple Movie! 💜 So proud of you Fantasia.

Paul don't even realize that she prophesied over Fantasia's life! She sings now to stadiums! Bless God for this precious gift!!!💞
No truer words ever spoken!!!
If Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, Aretha Franklin and James Brown all came together to make a baby, Fantasia would be the baby they would conceive.
Exactly... She is blessed for real!
Throw in MJ and you have her sister, Beyonce!
Rhoda Wilson Lol! Wrong as hell!!
Rhoda Wilson
yup
Fantasia remains my favourite American Idol of all time.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nancy Creed same here I went to her concert in NY it was amazing
Fantasia is a homewrecker! She cant sing plus she's ugly as hell!
@Zestii Perfect bitch have you seen my pictures? I make fantasia look like shit!...who would be jealous of a homewrecker chipmunk looking bitch!...She put the u in ugly....
@@lovelylady35 😂😂😂😂 You wish you looked better than Fantasia!!
Simon loved him some Tasia...
jljf2f yea he did
I love the way he says her name
Yes he did!!!
jljf2f it is so obvious😀
jljf2f yes he did
Still watching 2023 love her simply the best ❤

She performed the hell out of this song
Under I'm of l .au

Back when Idol was worth watching!
tribblegirl2 omgggg yasss

Very true
tribblegirl2 yup

As close to Tina Turner's performance as they come!
I love Tina but Fantasia sounds better than Tina on this song imo...
Yes, i think so too! Especially the walking into the audience. Only….. Tina can do it better.
Steven Baker So effortless too. What a gift
from God she has
Beyond!! Waay out of this galaxy 🙌 Ya'll🥰!!!
Actually, better in my opinion! She was fantastic!
Pure talent! She can sing any genre of music. Period!
Periodt !!
I think they reigned her in a little for American Idol, you see her performances after Idol and she GOES OFF. They weren't even ready!! They weren't reeeeeaddy!!!
+DiannaSugarF00t her new album called "The Definition OF" will be available everywhere on June 10
I so agree
Fantansia was born to be a singer....Thank you God for Fantansia...Real talent
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
She was sensational. The voice, the showmanship -- everything. Back when Idol had heart.
Fantasia on IDOL was a moment. We were witnessing a future legend and I'm glad I was able to see the journey.
Fantasia is a BEAST with the runs!!! I believe if she came out with a single of her sample of “fool in love” it’ll go PLATINUM
Fantasia please stay just the way you are. Please don't become overly processed!!!! Keep your rawness and vibrant personality. Simply brilliant!!!!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
And she did look at her now
she gives me chills every time I hear her sing!!! 😘
she came out in the audience like yall might as well go home i already won this
Chris Davis YASS!!! Hunte!!
after going back to watch Tina do this, I must say Fantasia ABSOLUTELY did this song justice, wow!! good call simon
Simon was so right, this song showcases her so well, perfect for her
I remember this episode! This shit had me crying. I was so proud of her like she was my child!
My
This woman only needs a damn mic and a song! Jesus Christ her vocals are CRAZY!
That's the truth! :)
Amen 💯💃👌💕💕💕💕💕
Jet Mistress ABSOLUTELY
Cant take nothing away from my favorite idol. She is a classic in her own rights. No one should compare her to amyone else. She is in het own lane.
Paula predicted it. She made her own movie of her, in Broadway, and the greatest singer out there. All I can say is, GOD does amazing work
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
She sings so effortlessly omgosh... my fave Idol winner...
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
What Paula spoke over her came to pass...she has done a movie and stay filling stadiums!
Godschosen05 And she have done Broadway twice.
QueenChampion She is not filling stadiums, bit she is killing auditoriums.
QueenChampion 1 b.c.
My girl you is the best since I began watch America idol I love you good luck in the future
Yes she true,
she did this song and Miss TINA justice,,, awesome
I wish Fantasia had been a young adult back in the early 1960s when the great Motown groups were so popular. Everyone would have been crazy about her singing! Amazing performance!!!
I would not have wanted her to be on Motown though. Her sound would have been watered down. She would have killed it on Stax/Volt or some of the other straight down-home R&B labels.
I’m crazy about now
She is the only one who can do a Tina Turner song justice. Tina and Fantasia should of done this as a duet. They have similar voices and styles. Now that would have been a hit record on all of the charts. Thanks for the post.
And her hair stayed on point and slayed. Ijs
+Marquita Shiver The 1st thang I noticed about her, is she keeps her hair whipped, & can sang anytime, anywhere.
She still gives me chills with this recording
Paula spoke Fantasia performance into the atmosphere. She has been filling arenas everywhere she goes!!!
Fanny NEVER disappoints. Sing hunny !
There's still no one around like Fantasia! "Soul Train!" 2015 was the proof!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
I love you fantasia. You are anointed to sing girl. Couldn't stop crying after watching your movie, on your life story.
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
I would love to see Fantasia play Tina Turner in the Soul Sister musical over in the UK. She would be perfect for that.
Paula prophesied what we are all witnessing today in 2023! What a blessing the gift of Fantasia is to this earth!!!
Simon was right though. he said she was the best they ever had.
He even said it during her audition
the comfort she has while she is on stage is one of the reasons she won..loved this
Still the best American Idol discovery yet!!!
Still loving Fantasia in 2020
She was literally born to do this.. My one and only time voting, haven't watched it since..
This is what a natural born talent looks like. It’s natural you feel it it’s very cathartic and organic
This girl ROCKED OUT!!!!!! LOVE YOU TASIA!!!
This girl can sing ANYTHING 😍😍
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
She make it seems so effortless.. love you tasia
Fantasia was the best American Idol ever it's not even worth watching now please bring her back somehow some way please and thank you
Fantasia stayed true to herself and her voice. She could sing any song they gave her and she made it her own. She is hands down the best Idol winner ever simply because she was herself, nothing superficial, nothing fake.
greg lassiter Heyyy!! What you say?? No that’s right!!!
Could not agree more Greg.
She is just a natural performer!!! This was a wonderful season !
Wouldn't it be nice to have Fantasia and Tina Turner sing this together? That would be fantastic.
Fantasia has one of the most amazing voices. Simon's right- she's a throwback to the golden age of vocalists; pure soul voice. Better than Aretha. Just incredible. I just wish she'd release more old school music than she does because I think the market is missing that and I think her vocals need to be centre stage more. Have you heard her Summer time with Chaka? Fantasia is sublime.
No she is not better than Aretha. She would even argue with you on that.! Aretha is the QUEEN of SOUL for a reason. I love Fantasia.
Her version of summertime mesmerizes me!
My all time favorite version from the original she slayyed it 😍
Outstanding !!!!!! Not just singing but moves ! This girl is a treasure !
How are you doing today my name is Eric

This girl looks and sound like a chipmunk being choked!
Idol should have ended with Candice Glover.
THANK GOD FOR AMERICAN IDOL
FANTASIA SENT FROM HEAVEN
