Fantasia Barrino Is a Hot Mess!

Fantasia BarrinoPlaying Miss Celie in "The Color Purple" is causing Fantasia Barrino to bare more than just her soul!

The Season Three "American Idol" winner arrived to the musical's after-party on Sunday dressed in a trash-tastic, skin-tight, green, leopard print dress. Maybe she was headed to a "Flavor of Love" casting?

Fantasia may be starring on Broadway, but decked out in this hoochie mama ensemble, she looks more appropriate for Times Square! Need a date?

16. What does her age have to do with it ... she's old enough to be a mom she's old enough to know when she looks in the mirror and something looks trashy. She's been around alittle bit longer then Jennifer Hudson so not sure why someone even brought that up. Carrie Underwood is just about the same age but there is a huge difference in how they dress. As someone said before just because you gain a "celebrity status" doesn't mean all of a sudden you are going to become cultured and classy ... those things can't be bought.

17. No matter what you wear..folks gonna say something negative..and no she don't look like a hot mess..I leave that for the Olson Twins..(scary_..I like to see what slop of a fashion hater wrote this article. Maybe he's hating on Fantasia because his lazy sloppy ass want to squeeze up in her dress... I agress It's a risque number(fashion-wise) but hey..its the music industry..aren't they called entertainer..at least the dress got the reporter noticed.LOL

19. #13, Jiggy, dear. It wasn't close to funny two weeks ago. It's truly not funny refurbished, dusted off and used again. Make up your own jokes. Don't bother. You are the joke. You are going extinct. Racism is so yesterday.

20. WOW! The comments are harsh - I'm not a fan, but dern! She's only 22 or 23, she's got a lot to learn. I'm glad there were no cameras around when I made my fashion mistakes at her age. Lighten up! Ugly doesn't catch!

21. This girl is a total mess. She is no American Idol and never has been. She is trashy and always looks like a slut. If I was American Idol I would try to cut my ties with this one and chalk it up to trash.

22. But Oprah needs her butt whipped too! Because once she brought her into the cast of "The Color Purple" she should have pulled her "tiny weeny dress wearing" butt to the side and explained to her that she needs to "classy up" her look. I've seen some of the other members of this cast on shows and they are pretty classy looking ladies. I'm so tired of seeing her in those old broke down "Lady sang the Blues" dresses, I don't know what to do. Glad I'm not the only one that recognized ths HOT MESS!!

23. She looks like she needs to be on a corner somewhere.
To be honest, her voice is nice depending upon the song choice, but lately she has a screechy tone and always sings that "Yeah Yeah Yeah!" at the end of every song, which is cheap sounding...get that stylist asap girl!!!
And a voice coach.........

25. Fantasia, from one woman to another, you know better!

26. Used to like her, but can't stand her now. She has a bad attitude and I feel sorry for her baby with her as a role model. She is really trashy.

27. Fantasia, I'm really disappointed in you. You can dress better than that!

28. I was so upset by the racist comment made by # 13 , that I made several typo's apologies.

29. The woman can sing with the best of them....but please honey, get someone to pick out clothes for you. That dress is way too stripper!

30. #13- Your comment is totally unwarranted. Fantasia is as talented as she is beautiful. 'Tasia, keep your head up! Celebs live such public lives. Everyone is allowed having an "off" day every once in a while. If the world were as cruel as some of these posters, no wonder Britteny Spears is having a such a public emotional meltdown.
