Fantasia Barrino shot to fame after wining the 3rd season of American Idol. Although her album sales may not have been of the same magnitude as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, she is one of the most popular contestants with a voice that is truly an explosion of spirit and light.
Fantasia is an artist who I feel needs to record a live album as she is amazing on stage. All you have to do is YouTube some of her live clips and tributes that she has carried out to Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Pattie Labelle and Aretha Franklin and her Colour Purple work. Her new Album ‘Back to Me’ will be released at the end of this month. Please support her ‘legally’ by purchasing a copy or two (one for me:-) as from the preview it is possibly her best album to date. I do also think she does needs to record a gospel album. Hopefully this will happen in the near future.
Stay tuned
NTJ.
A Bonus Track ‘Broke’ that I like which is not on the album

this is a biased article written obiously by a fan. Fantasia has a good voice but her music is wack. Honest truth. she can hold a note for a bit then she starts shouting and yelling.

I have to agree with the screaming and shouting… I just can’t take it

Oh here we go. Her growling is an art form. I am sure you will be receiving her new album for your birthday.

I saw Tasia at the 02 in Greenwich, London. She was amazing. British Crowd get on my nerves though as people were moaning about not knowing the song. Why would you go to a concert, knowing who was performing and not prepare. I have heard the album and it sounds good. My track is probably even angels and a few others that I only know the track numbers of. Also why the hell is there an additional track only if you purchase from Itunes? I like having the album hard copy so they better put that extra track on the album or else

@mike is this mr ojo? Fantasia is a natural raw gifted singer. She sings from her gut. You can tell with the emotions and soul. YouTube her Live performances and you will understand

Fantasia is a SOULLLLLLLLLLL SISTA.
She’s a modern day Pattie Labelle/Aretha and I dont think we’d deny those Divas their crudentials – so please!
We’re getting so used to these SOULESS, drip-drip, bodyless, superficial rinny-tin tin vocals that we cant appreciate TALENT! Fanny is extraordinary – shes just got a lil extra chilli in her chocolate.
