    Fantasia had the talent and start to become the biggest female singer of her generation! But everything outside the music got in the way.

      And I'm so glad for baby-girl !!! Always liked Fantasia as a person more than an artist,but,still LOVE -her singing too. Never liked Cart-B tho,robbing dudes is being a low-down person. PERIOD. Fantasia has learned a lot in life,now,she's more mature and wiser and it shows thru her actions. God bless her.

      That's the lane she has to stay in. Her and Jennifer Hudson are doing way better because of it. The music industry doesn't value great singers anymore, especially R&B. It's rare you see them on full display like H.E.R. I would stay far away from the music industry right now. It's a s**show now

    I agree. I think Fantasia should've blew up longevity wise. Her voice and personality is one of a kind. I think better song writing and being more diverse could push her to be a superstar; she's like a adult contemporary artist this time around.

    The industry did Fantasia wrong, she was very underappreciated but she has a very unique sound, every time I hear one of her songs on the radio, I immediately recognize it's her, because of her signature voice. Now I'm not sure if colorism or feuturism comes into it, but it's very common for many black female artists to succeed because they are lighter skinned than other darker skinned black female artists.

    Fantasia did alright but she boxed herself in trying to sing simple r and b and gospel songs. She never quite found that identity outside of black tailored r&b music, Auntie music. When I see you, is a certified classic.

    Its very rare that a female singer (Fantasia, Keyshia Cole) that doesn't have a falsetto can truly crossover to the mainstream. Last time that happened I believe it was Aretha Franklin. But as of recent, hasn't happened.

    2:20 - *She was only the second female artist to have her first single DEBUT at No. 1 on the Hot 100. Several other female artists had _reached_ No. 1 with debut singles. Fantasia made her accomplishment with “I Believe” in 2004.
    The first was Lauryn Hill with her first debut single “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998.

    I think American Idol just didn’t know what to do with her. I think she could have been the black version of Kelly Clarkson with the right team around her. Also, she could have been just a bit too hood or a bit too illiterate to seek out the right people around her.
    American Idol couldn’t market R&B or soulful contestants that won, and Fantasia was miles ahead of Reubon Studdard or Jordan Sparks. I truly do think she could have gone as high as Kelly Clarkson with the right team around her. Way too talented not to.

    Idk about this one. Technically her growth may have been stunted, but I think there are too many others who couls be highlighted over her. She's still relevant. She's not a superstar on Beyonce level, but she's still out here and I feel like if she put a new album out, she still could sell really well. I really only consider someone stunted if there's very limited or no ability to come back

    If songs like, "when I see you" "Truth Is" and "Free Yourself" are just average generic R&B songs I must just be ignorant and hood then because in my opinion those are some of the best songs of the last 20 years from ANY genre. Go to Trap Karaoke or R&B or shit even a brunch and see if people don't go absolute nuts singing their hearts out to those songs. I feel like this page is usually pretty spot on but, the statements in this one are wild. I can see an argument for the personal things and drama negatively affecting her career. But to say that she was basically mediocre talent wise is madness. Fantasia would DESTROY Adele and Beyonce too vocally. I guess she didn't go out of her way to pander to colonizers but who cares about them. Not everyone should have to completely sellout. I'm honestly shocked to see her talent assassinated like this.
