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. You should do Ruben Studdard another american Idol contestant
I feel like she got boxed in which is what often happens to r n b singers who don’t have crossover appeal. But color purple is gonna do big things for her
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.
Actually she was the first artist ever to debut at number one meaning went number one it’s first week. Debut is different than eventually going number one so they got that wrong
I Remember Her Rise On American Idol. She Took Us To Church Every Single Performance. But She Has No Range. She Screams On Every Single Song She Sings. I Love Her But It's Hard To Listen To Fantasia
I normally agree with you but you a lil off on this one and I could just be being bias because I’m from NC. Fantasia has had a solid career that spans 20 years and I think she’ll be able to capitalize off the success of “The Color Purple”.
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.
Destroy Beyoncé is definitely an overstatement. And while fanstasia made nice songs they were generic. They were nice cute little r&b songs but nothing out of this world
We all know Fantasia can sing. I feel Fantasia don't got iconic songs like MJB or Mariah Carey. Plus Fantasia didn't dump down her sound to be more ratchet to fit into todays mainstream R&B like Beyoncé
@@stuntedgrowthmusic new edition and off shoot groups BBD (Bell Biv Devoe). Solo acts Bobby brown and Ralph Trasvant. On Hip hop, we have Edo G (I got to have it), and Benzino (The source who is part of the rso, made men and wiseguys). Also, cousin stizz and Guru the rapper of gangstarr is from Boston. Also some of the rappers from gangstarr is from there especially big shug.
LETS KEEP IT REAL.... EVEN IF SHE DID EVERYTHING "RIGHT" SHE WAS NEVER GOING TO BE ONE THE BIGGEST STARS OF HER GENERATION. HER TALENT IS NEXT LEVEL, BUT NOTHING ABOUT HER IS ASPIRATIONAL. AND IM A TASIA' STAN.
You are right. I can't remember any song outside of I See You. That's sad to me because I should. She was a great singer but she never made music where I had to go check it out. It was just okay
@@handsomedubbledee SHE ACTUALLY HAS SOME GOOD SONGS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. BUT ONCE THE 2ND ALBUM STALLED, SHE WAS COOKED COMMERCIALLY. AS A RESULT SHE WAS NEVER PROMOTED .
Fantasia had the talent and start to become the biggest female singer of her generation! But everything outside the music got in the way.
Her push was cut too short. Plus, most singers came with american idol and similar had a short run.
Plus she was down to get tossed up by the higher upside in Hollywood
Ima be honest she never fell off at all, she’s always been on the same level. Love some of her music!
Fantasia is blowing up again MAJORLY as a result of her performance in The Color Purple! She's getting NOMINATIONS for FILM awards!
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.

You should do Ruben Studdard another american Idol contestant
I remember her season on A.I being one of thee best ones,because it wasn’t just her,JHUD and Latoya London were powerhouses too‼️
I remember that American Idol 2004 was bigger than the US election that year.
Which is kinda sad tbh...
😂😂
I feel like she got boxed in which is what often happens to r n b singers who don’t have crossover appeal. But color purple is gonna do big things for her
No Fantasia slander I love her!!! ❤
MY American Idol 🙌🏾
She’s a legend and we love her back home in NC

Put on "When I See You" in a room full of black men, you will get damn near that whole room jammin and singing word for word!
Thank you for bringing us this story. You should do another American Idol winner next which is Jordin Sparks.
i hope bro see this comment
I think Jordan Sparks is the real stunted growth. Fantasia, not so much.
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.

Great point
Keyshia Cole and fantasia were both mainstream 😂
@@maryjones794 Keyshia Cole and Fantasia had one pop hit each. Keyshia had Let It Go and Fantasia had I Believe. They were R&B stars, not pop stars.
@@Boogiesince"When I See You" was also a pop hit
@@Realviews603 It wasn’t a top 10 pop hit tho. Wasn’t even top 20.
I thought you were going to talk about her comeback?? The color purple helping her a lot
She and Young Dro had a thing going on, and he was drugged out of his mind. Fantasia seemed so authentic compared to the Scantily-Clad others.
Another great feature. You gotta do Jordin Sparks next!
Can you please do a video on Azealia Banks, Jodeci, Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight, Mya, Trippie Redd, YoYo, Young M.A and YG
Jodeci, McKnight, and BIIM were not stunted 😂
Both your channels are so underrated
He got 2?
She's still top 5 vocalists of all time
Hitmanx live from fyfsports whats good ✊🏿
@@little_thebodyguard3032 salute
Y'all love capping 😂 top 5 in what universe
@@Sincity725😂😂
Calm down.
Cardi B cannot rap, she recites raps. Fantasia can Sing 👏🏾👏🏾 she made bad decisions like regular people. Hope she keeps striving
She is a super star in a color purple
Nice video happy new year brother
Man, she’s definitely underrated.
Keyisha Cole , Toni Braxton , Cassie

I still have a crush on fantasia❤❤❤
Her voice reminds me of Macy Gray. And I love it
Yup another very good raspy singer❤
Crazy enough when you look back at Idol, Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson were on the same season but Jennifer got eliminated
Love your voice does, my dude! Can you do a stunted growth on Brandy, Boyz II Men, or Travis Porter; if you haven’t already?
I Remember Her Rise On American Idol. She Took Us To Church Every Single Performance. But She Has No Range. She Screams On Every Single Song She Sings. I Love Her But It's Hard To Listen To Fantasia
Please Do Tamia , chante more , Nieva
Comparing her to cardi is disrespectful to fantasia
I agree.
Right
Damn right! Cardi b is a no talent!😂
I normally agree with you but you a lil off on this one and I could just be being bias because I’m from NC. Fantasia has had a solid career that spans 20 years and I think she’ll be able to capitalize off the success of “The Color Purple”.
First of all…Don’t do that cause she’s a legend
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.

No memorable songs?! Truth Is, When I See You, Babymama her rendition of Summertime, like I get it you have to make content but lets not lie.
Forgot to mention Fantasia is also Dave Hollister’s cousin.
if you are doing American Idol winner, Jordan and/or Rueben have to be next
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.

You should do an American Idol series
Please do that group that was in family matters in the sing that song here we go.
I wonder why fantasia wasn't under the swing mob umbrella back in the day. yes kci and jojo are her cousins
Jodeci fell way off by the time Fantasia competed on American Idol. She was in elementary school during the Swing Mob era.
0:40 She IS special, she IS entertaining, and I like her.
Happy New Year bro
Happy New Years babe
Can you do Chino XL please
Happy New Year
I should do a video on the Ruff Ryders.
New age mich'elle dr dre baby mama I'm talking about voice wise

It's sad because Beyonce is the one that got the accolade. The music industry is garbage to me now. Nothing but opp killing and ratchet, hoe music

Do Maxwell Nexxxxt
Bobby Brown Next
Play with someone else. Fantasia always been that girl.
She just made generic r&b. Powerful voice. But she should’ve tapped in with a specific producer/songwriter. There was nothing there.
Cardi 👀🙄👋🏽🧹
She couldn't read.
She just can’t sing to me I’m sorry all she does is holler. Beautiful woman I just can’t with her singing
You should do one on Nivea or Lil’ Moe
Def good ones
