American Idol season 3 winner, Fantasia Barrino, was on the results show Wednesday night where she performed her new song “Bore Me” and worked her new red hair color. The performance was dope. I’m a Fantasia fan, so I guess I’m biased. Anyway, peep Simon Cowell’s face at 2:43 mark, he looked like he was in shock..
CONGRATS TO TRISTAN WILDS!
Tristan Wilds, best known for his portrayal of Michael on the HBO series The Wire, just signed on to be on the new Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff. The 18 year-old has also been featured a few music videos, as well as on Jay-Z’s I Will Not Lose Spring Campaign. He is a good little actor, so make sure you guys look out for him. I still miss The Wire man….

Red looks cute on Fantasia. Why is she screaming?
tristan is foineeeeeeeeeee
dayyyyyyyyum!
No Fantasia ! That hair color is not for you boo .
I miss the Wire too, that was my shit.
Lol at Simon face I love Tasia
Tristan is a cutie I am not sure if I will be watching the 90210 spin off.
Love Fantasia. She killing it. I hope this show is as gritty as 90210 was when it left off and not like how shallow it was in the beginning.
I am so not diggin’ Fantasia’s performance. And the look on Simon’s face was priceless!
I am loving that proformance mah girl got me moving to this song as well you go fan fan.
Unfortunately, BETJ is not available in my area
Wow that was a good performance…! I didnt know Fantasia was so talented…
Fantasia killed it! That is the kind of energy & emotion American Idol was missing this season. There will never be another Idol like Fantasia. And Simon’s face was priceless. He looked stunned!
Fantasia left Simon’s lower lip on the floor! My girl tore it down last night! I loved her performance and thought if only Syeshia had those moves and that voice, she could have a chance at winning it all. What I love about Fantasia is that she puts everything she got into her performances and brings it like a true diva! Those Idol contestants need to watch and learn! Loved the new song, loved the dancing, loved the outfit… homegirl dropped it like it was hot hot hot! Show stopper, show show stopper!
Fantasia did her thing!! She’s full of energy and it was nice seeing her do a little movements. You gotta love Fantasia she was born for this. She was all over that stage. Simon ain’t never seen nobody tear that stage up like that before so of course he was shock!
This season of Amercian Idol was “Startin to Bore Me, Bore Me, Bore Me….. Emmmmmm (Yawn)”
Thanks Tasia for bringing some excitement back!!!
I watched American Idol last night out of boredem, because I already know that robot a.k.a. David Archuletta will win, but anyway I saw Fantasia’s performance and I liked it. She was giving it a lot of energy. I just felt she was mumbling too much on some parts. If she was singing more clearly, it would have been a better performance. But yeah Angel, I saw Simon’s face and it was priceless. I don’t think he liked Fantasia’s performance. LOL!!
Simon was like WTH??? U can’t handle all that Simon huh..lol!
I liked the the very end when Fantasia and the girls was dancing to the beat. Fantasia is just straight Fantasia…she doesnt care what anyone thinks and i doig that about her…go Tasia!
BTW, Syeshia will be just fine and we’ll hear from her soon enough, she’s probally got offers on the table as we speak!
I’m soooooooo happy for my boo Tristan!!!!!!
Congratulations Tristan! Great actor great face! LOL
♥[[Tiara]]
Simon’s face was priceless.
alright Tristan, go ‘head! Now let’s get a Sister up in there. There’s got to be more than one black person living in 90210!
I will be tuning in on May 22nd’s episode of Real Life Divas. I love BET J. When Soul Sessions comes on, it’s a wrap in my house…I jam for that whole hour.
Angel, I agree with you 100% on BET J. My favorite shows are “Soul Sessions” & “Lifted”.
Fantasia had a lot of energy in her performance which was great…BUT I had no idea what she was saying…I couldn’t get into the song because I couldn’t understand a word of it…I think she’s a great singer/screamer…but she really needs to find a happy medium when she’s performing live.
I agree with #13, 14 and 15.
I love Fantasia! Such energy, and she was really giving her all.. Great performance.
Who is gonna watch Beverley Hills 90210.. i know i wont im not really that interested. One black person in the whole of 90210…smh token black kid.
Nobody can’t take nothing form Fantasia, every time I see her I’m proud. LOVE YOU MAMA!
I think Simon was shocked that she was moving like that LOL, she definately did her thang, go fantansia,
That’s what makes her unique, her energy
I liked Fanstasia performance but she was screaming tho. Simon was like damn… I saw that too. She took over that stage. Hopefully, Syesha will learn how to work a stage.
90210 2.0 I see they have the token black guy. I mean America is a multi-ethic country while if we watch t.v. we will see nothing but white people on these so- called popular shows.
i LOVED THE PERFROMANCE REMINDED ME OF TINA AND PATTI, BABY GIRL KEPT HER WORD AND STEPPED OUT THE BOX!!!! I LOVED THE NERGRY AND SHE WORKED THOSE MOVES. GO FANTASIA LOVING THE RE INVENTION!!!
FANTASIA -
didn’t like the hair color or outfit…she looked like she should have been on the VEGAS STRIP PERFORMING IN THE CASINO
like the energy, BUT WAY TOO MUCH SCREAMING!! FANNY NEEDS TO FIND A MEDIUM and LEAVE THE SCREAMING FOR GOSPEL SUNDAY ON BET
it was a good performance, but not great. It was a great performance for a local club or venue, BUT NOT TELEVISION
Tristan and 91210? I can’t see Michael doing that,lol….Yo, Tristan was soo GOOD in The Wire, its hard to see him be the token Black dude in a show like 91210! Regardless, I wish him well. Hopefully this will widen his resume…he such a good actor!
Fantasia brings more excitement to her performances than anybody else. She feels her song and she shows her emotions. Unlike some of these robots out here.
Simon was too busy looking all that beautiful blackness that was on that stage!!..LOL…did anyone see MTV Cribs when they toured his house…a sista answered the door…ummm hmmm….he was lovin’ that performance!!
Fanny is so pretty.
Tasia looked a hot mess and i couldnt understand a word she was singing cuz all she was doing was shoutin and screamin. Simon’s expression said it all.
Go Tasia..you were rocking the new do and the outfit!!!
Simon didn’t know Tasia knew how to move like that!!!
90210 is the zipcode for Beverly Hills which is considered an area for the wealthy and elite. It is unfortunate that the writers of the show have not considered that Cali is culturally and ethnically diversified; as a result they have decided to portray this show as a dominant caucasian-weak rip off of a former popular show.
I know I will not be watching this show!!!
Damn Fanny left Simon in a state of dsibelief and shock…lol. That look was definitely priceless. Well all the rest in this post, good luck with y’all.
I LOVE TRISTAN WILDS. It’s gonna be good to see him playing another role. Even though i loved him on the WIRE. Iono about this spinoff though…i have a feeling it won’t be on for long…but i could be wrong! I hope i am so i can see Tristan’s fine self every week!!!
Fantasia will always be different when it comes to performing. Either you hate her or you love her . She gets people talking. That’s all that matters. She was doing her and simon was just not used to that lol. I thought she woke AI up lastnite. I want david cook to win though lol.
@ #28 … Tasia was a combo of Tina & Patti for real. Double energy! I love her though. There is no one out there in the Industry that takes risks like she does. I don’t know about you guys but I’m tired of seeing the same old type of robot singers/performances on T.V. today.
When she was on Idol Simon always said he liked her b/c she was different and quirky, well take that Simon! lol He just wasn’t ready.
Tasia fan 4 life!!!!
CONGRATS TO TRISTAN!
THEIR ONLY GOING TO KEEP HIM FOR ONE SEASON TO GET THE RATING UP AND HAVE BLACK PEOPLE WATCHING.
THEIR GOING TO DO HIM LIKE THEY DID VANESSA {SOUL FOOD SERIES} WILLIAMS ON MELROSE PLACE. SHE WAS THE TOKEN BLACK GIRL WITH THE SAME STORY LINE THAT THEY GIVE ALL BLACK FOLKS ON TV BORN IN THE GHETTO AND SCORN.
BEST OF LUCK TO HIM!
I luv Fantasia, but that outfit is not cute and that hair color is not for her either! It looks like Ronald McDonald’s hair, not cute ‘Tasia.
I love her performance that was hotttttt!
FANtaisa u did your thing last night wroke up that stage, the hold season
was boring until u got on it last night, At least u were singing your own
song with out all the new tech they got now. First time seeing Tasia doing
her thing and it will get better not only the light shin can do it Now we know
that you can do it. Can’t wait for the new music. Go FAntasia
Tasia looks like she was on coke or something lol!!!
she has so much energy!!! I am telling you, if tasia had this “looks” then she will be bigger than Bee!!!!!!!!!!!! She has way more swag, just not a marketable look! But i am happy for her, she deserves it but she is really underrated!
I THINK FANTASIA IS SO HOOD AND AN EMBARASSMENT TO IDOL….THE READ HAIR WAS EMBARRASSING TO WATCH SO I CHANGED IT
I THINK FANTASIA IS SO HOOD AND AN EMBARASSMENT TO IDOL….THE CORRECTION: “RED” HAIR WAS EMBARRASSING TO WATCH SO I CHANGED IT
i thought fantasia’s performance was a little wild and spastic. too much “hooperin’ and hollarin’” for me. but it was good to see her back though.
#46 I thought the same thing. It wasnt a classy performance at all and Ryan didnt interview her as long as he has done in the past with previous winners. I think they wanted to get Tasia off stage. Now I cant wait til Ruben comes back and performs. I know he will do a better job!
I love Tasia!!! She is the best. Sometimes I will listen to her songs on repeat.
I didn’t like Fantasia’s performance either. I too, could not understand a word she was saying.
Please if they wanted Fannie off the stage they wouldn’t have invited her in the first place. They knew what color her hair was before she came, It doesn’t have to be a classy performance as long as its accepted and liked and I loved it. Like my granny said, when it comes to a REAL singer, there is no such thing as singing CUTE.
That being said…..Go ‘head Fannie Go Head cuz these mark ass chicks is started to BORE ME BORE ME BORE ME!
Fanny rocked that performance..she betta GONE!!!….
Y DEY CASTING JUS A BROTHER BUT NOT A SISTER ON DAT 90210 SPINOFF?? DAT AINT RITE DEY NEED ONE!!!!!
BET J YEAH NOW DATS SUM GUD SHYT!!!!
Did anyone notice that Rico (fantasia’s brother) forgot the lyrics?
KC I agree, and i think Fantasia killed that performance
i think simon’s look was more of an “eww” than a “wow”
They threw a negro into 90210, lol. They got him positioned directly in the middle of the 8 caucasians. I guess he’s the sacrificial lamb.
fantasia too good last night.
as for tristan, they have him play the part of “the new brandon” on the show. so he wont be done like vanessa because hers was a recurring;tristan has a starring role. he plays the adopted son of the family the show is based on. for those who know about the original, then you’ll know what i am talking about.
Yeah, Tristan will be the new token Knee-Grow, but w/e. He’s still a good little actor, and he’s a cutie. So, hopefully, bigger and better things will come Young Man’s way.
Oh, and he’s going to be in a movie with Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson, in October, so it’s looking like this will be his year.
I don’t think Simon was in shock. I think he was frightened. I can’t take that ‘screaming’ she calls singing, either. I hope the 90210 spin-off is good, because I loved that show and still watch re-runs! #20, I’m the same way about BETJ when Soul Sessions comes on. I wish they would remove BET and put BETJ on.
