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?

106. Have your fun TMZ, when she comes out transformed, I wonder if you will print that, and she is going to change, youwatch what I tell you, this little sleazy dress was to throw youall off, Fantasia is not stupid, she already promised her grandmother she would not dress hoochie, she has a plan and it is good , you guys have fun, just like she can't read and she is not a "ho." Just part of a sick industry with people who will criticze you if you sneeeze to loud. Evrything she does is scrutinized. By the way her record is selling, for the one who hope and said it wasn't.

108. Watch and see what I tell you, watch and see what happens when the braces come up, you don't believe me. She's taking your crap now, but from where she has come from she is a tough cookie. Just like most folk said she could not do the color purple. People are really surprised ovewhelm by her talent. Just you see.

109. She is not a tramp and for all of you who are just dead set on calling her names, all I have to say is "your Mama". That's all I have to say, I knw you did not got to see the play. I got a feeling that you are white rj. I wonder which one of you is going to write in and call her a nppy headed ho, this word is becoming real big in the white community in referring to us in any way, so youlike Ho's that good since your mama is one.

110. Whether you like her singing or not, that outfit looks terrible on her. The outfit looks cheap and streetwalker ready. She doesn't have the body for anything skin tight or the legs for anything cut that high nor the cleavage for anything cut that low. Why don't the young celebs of today have any class or sophistication? Why must everyone try to be naked? Ladies, if you don't have it to flaunt, don't embarrass yourself this way!

112. I'm praying that someone gets toher. i myself wonder where Oprah is. she needs a good stylist. Fantasia did mention yesterday that she was getting an assistant. I also realize no matter what she puts on their a people who are going to still call her ugly and names because that is how big they are. Now we ahve all established the fact that the dress is not appealing and a vey bad choice, now can we move on. Now TMZ because you have posted this I guess from the remarks of those who you wanted to see this Fantasia must give up and quit because what they say about her is gospel. I don't believe she is a quitter like one New York critic said he believes she could take the ingredients from a cereal box and make a song out of it and sing it. Because you are surface and superficial people I believe there is something spectacular happening in Fantasia'a life in regards to her singing, I believe what she has done with the Color Purple is building her confidence and her talent is getting better. I don't believe she should trow in the towel just because you all want her do. She has room to grow and she is growing and some people in the industry still love her even if you don't. Will one person just agree with the obstacles she has had to face and all of the rejection she still seems to face today because she does not fit into our stereotypical mode I believe she has displayed a gret deal of courage, she could have walke d away fromIdol because you all talke about she and her daughter online thesame way as well as the rest of her family. I pray she will hold her head up and look back on all of her mistakes and do better. it's just now she is in the public eye and everything she does gets scrutinized, I've not heard you congraulate her on the good job she is doing in the Color Purple. I was there opening night and I am going again to take my grandson, she was superb. Triumphant, and her reviews were great, can't fool the great white way. There were many sceptics because she never auditioned. It was not meant for her to do dreamgirls and thank God JHud got the Oscar, but it was not an Oscar performance, the biggest joke on the internet. Oprah did not even do her Oscar show this year. You guys pray for Fantasia, you don't have to buy her music or even like her, but pray for her and her daughter, that's the least you can do, I know you will not go see the play because of your distate for her. She can not help how God made her, neither can you or your children, but I pray that someone who really cares about her will help her with her image and clothing selections which will enhance her. I observed her at the stage door and she is so sweet, youwould think that life would have made her bitter, and all of the rude comments would have made her bitter but she is a very sweet and warm young lady. I will say this thought Fantasia loves to sing and this is her destiny, she is not doing for the money, she desn't envision herself doing anything else. Singing is her call and her life it is what God has gifted her to do, so she will be here for a while. You can continue to compare her to Jhud, Carrie, Kelly or even who wins this year, to tell youthe truth this is really all she has ever done, now go figure!!!
Lots of love and peace. God Bless and keep you Fantasia, God bless Zion and you Mom is not ugly, she is precious and valuable gift made by God Just like you and all young ladies.
Fantasia, I know you don't read these things but maybe one of you friends or someone in your family, there are people who are praying for you and we know you will do better. Represent God when you choose your clothing, okay. I'm the kind od person who likes to offer solutions instead of kicking someone when they make a bad choice. You know one I heard aman say , what about the mans sins you don't know about. We also need to be careful about judging another mas servant because God is able to make them stand, and those same devils might be knocking on your door.
Everyone on this thread have a blessed week, you too TMZ. I would not want your job, you have alot of blood on your hands trying to destroy people. You don't like Fantasia and of course your white girls cant't do any wrong, Kellie,or Kelly they come from such pristeen backgrounds and don't forget saint JHud the worlds greatest singer since Mahalia Jackson. All these great singers I guess Fantasia should throw in the towel with all thie greatest and wonderful social standing and such elustrous backgrounds, these are big shoes to fill. It's great being perfect isn'yt it you guys, don't you just love it!!!!! God Bless!!!

115. I think it's funny when people say that everyone who makes negative comments about black people are white...um there are other races & other races that make negative comments about black people & dislike them.

White people aren't the only people who dislike black people. Other races hate them too!

116. NIA , THAT IS SO TRUE i ONLY MEANT THAT i KNEW IT WAS NOT ANY AFRICAN AMERICAN HATING LIKE THIS, WE ARE GENERALLY NOT THIS CRUDE, WE FOR THE MOST PART KNOW HOW HARD IT IS AND MOST aFRICAN AMERICANS ARE PROUD OF fANTASIA FOR NOT GIVING UP AND THEPROGRESS SHE HAS MADE, THERE ARE SOME OF US WHO ARE WILLING TO GIVE HER A CHANCE AND ALLOW ROOM FOR GROWTH, I SINCERELY BELIEVE SHE WILL DO BETTER BECAUSE EVERYTHING SHE HAS TRIED TO DO THUS FAR IS WHAT OTHERS SAID SHE COULDN'T. SHE CAN CHANGE AND SHE WILL, AND SHE CAN STILL BE TRUE TO HER SELF IN THE PROCESS, I BELIEVE IN HER, JUST LIKE IBELIEVE IN YOU (SMILE)

117. I personally do not understand the Fantasia bashing...it is ok to have opinions, but some of these posts are down right evil. I for one think Fantasia is wonderful. I'm a bit confused by some of her hair styles and clothes...but hey...that is what makes the world go round. I personally think Fantasia's popularity is underestimaded...and believe one day she will become a classic.

118. Hey everyone...just breathe! I seriously doubt that this is about race. It is just another celeb. in a garish outfit. TMZ raggs on anyone dressed without the benefit of a mirror. We can't make everything in America about race. Her outfit IS horrible, and yes she happens to be Africian Amer. Now for the race conspiracy zealots, what would you say if TMZ only reported on Jewish or white kids?? Fantasia I am sure is enjoying the press.
If you race conspiracy zealots need somewhere else to put your energy then tell me why rappers HATE/DETEST [black] women?? Answer that for me, otay!

119. Roxanne Wood you are very young obviously and I genrally don't play the race card my grandson is mied, but it is something to always consider with the media and in the field of intertainment and in Hollywood where TMZ is based. We have come a long way but we have much farther to go!!!!!!

Posted at 5:30PM on Apr 24th 2007 by TRUE

120. I am confused, I went to the play in Chicago on 4/21/07 and Fantasia was no longer in it, so why was she going to after parties? TMZ I am doubting your story just a bit!
