Fantasia Barrino Is a Hot Mess!

151. I was one of Fantasia's number 1 fans until I saw that she began dressing like a hoochie with all of the off the shoulder dresses and splits even on gospel shows. That is just inappropriate. She has talent, I give her that and she has a sweet personality but she should try to dress better and more respectful for herself and her child. The last CD that she recorded was horrible. That hood boy was distasteful, especially when you are someone that is trying to be a role model for people that are still unfortunate and have to live like she said that she did. Where Fantasia is from is not the issue, I am from there also. The thing is that she was admired for how she talked of trying to change for the better and she is still looking and acting the same. I loved Fantasia like my own daughter from the beginning. She talked sweet and acted sweet but I was really turned off when I heard the words she used on stage just to relate to the crowd. It doesn't matter about the marketing, she can still be a lady and sell a Cd.

152. #13 Let me guess you wanted one of those fake, wannabe, Mariah Careys to win?!! Or perhaps you're a Britney Spears fan (or J-Lo) and that's your idea of singing (sike!!). This girl can sing!! She may not know what's stylish, but you can't take away what she has...natural talent! Stop hatin' and go buy another "pop-diva" CD and continue to live in the realm of the clueless.

153. #64 pETE
Okay, perhaps I'm missing something? How does lightning her skin, whittling down her nose (caucasian-like) help her to look pretty? Can you say Micheal Jackson? I hope she keeps her afro-centric features (and hire a stylist pronto!), and resist the pressure to conform to the European version of "pretty". I'm sick of "others" putting down African-American women, calling them ugly when they actually embrace their natural features, as opposed to hiring a surgeon to suck out the fat, shape the nose, insert the implants, spray on the tan... oh wait that's 90% of white Hollywood, I don't want to offend all the "natural", "ageless" beauties that you must find attractive #64 pETE.

157. Fantasia di not even audition for this part she was on tour minding her business when she recieved the call, we believe this is a door that God has opened. We also believe that everyone out there does not look lke Beyonce and maybe God is trying to show all of us who are so caught up on looks that it is the heart he looks upon and that if he be for you who can be against you, yes her gift and calling has made room for her, she did not manipulate go to numerous auditions getting nervous begging God, she merely siad to Ms. Winfrey when she said I am aserious about you being my Celie, she said yes mam, and I will go out there and do my best. God has away of exalting you when others are trying to put you down> Fantasia has been through a lot and some things that have been done or said about her she knows about but we will all take to our graves. One person we know in particular was not right did some underhanded stuff to get a head, but I love the line that Celie says to Mister, "Everything done to me already done to you!!!! As the Color Purple song says, look what God has done. her reviews are awesome and everyone, people from around the world are saying the same thing she is a natural, and may of youall said she couldn't do it. What she has done and is doing bears no compariosn ot Jennifer Hudson, please know this, all agree this is something truly phenomenal. Actually it is amazing, just amazing and to God we give Him all the glory. Yes, JHud you were only referring to yourself, but look at what God can do!!!! He truly did this!!!! he is daring us to take our eyes off Fantasia. he put her in this position,He caused her to win American Idol, this youg girl has and is a hard worker and nothing has just been handed to her, and I pry he continues to bless her and all that the devil meant for evil,God will or has turned it around for her good. Thank you, Jesus!!!!! Tahnk you Lord!!!!!!

158. I don't think some of you have a right to criticize her,i've seen plenty of celebrity women dressed like that, and didn't nobody say anything about them,so yall should just leave her alone.

163. No I ain't no man my name it QUEEN B.

164. #15 You're right Carrie Underwood does dress better. It's probably because she's white, has more money and better people helping her. This girl probably doesn't get half the things Carrie Underwood does. CU probably got more money from her record deal and a lot of perks to go along with it. I noticed that she and Kelly have been the only two from American Idol to be invited to the Grammys. I agree she looks a hot mess but she has to work with what she has. Not everyone is privlidged. Given where she grew up she's doing the best she can.

165. First of all you are abunch of sick people. If what the last person said is true then you are implyiny that Idol 19 management is prejudiced and they have tried to really sabotage Fantasia's (something us black folk have always known), as for grammys rome wasn't built over night and she will be there in her season, okay. And what she has accomplished today has far excelled all of them you mentiond including Jennifer Hudson she is labeled by the best in the industry as a Broadway STAR and if you didn't know Broadway is Hollywood in other words they are connected.
You obviously have not read Fantasia's bigography, she has done really well and she has made some sound business investments which are very properous you know nothing about, you thing she is a joke, but the girl ain't playing. I quarantee anyone of the people whom you applaud would love to be standing there in the dress you hate and to be in her shoes right about now, because it's only a dress, but her work has spoken volumes and it is going down in the history books and this is judt the beginning for her you watch what we tell you.
As far as where she came from, she or her family never asked you for anything, and you are right where she came from, because you obviously don't know how she is living today and by the way NEW YORK loves her and she is being treated like a star and whether you know it or not Fantasia would still be singing if she had to build her on supper club, she doesn't like compliments doesn't take a lot of picturees holding awards and if she never went to the grammys she would still be singing, she loves what she does and by the way you probably haven't seen the play I have twice and like one of rhe critics says she is acting up a storm, yes the very one you are hating on is actually doing just fine!!!!! i know you white folk just palin hate it!!!!!! sorry!!!!!! She did not do it, but God did. You tired to put her light out with your token black and media hype, but there were some people behind the scenes who KNOW Fantasia. Racist and prjudice AMERICA!!!!! The home of the free (right)
