I hope no one jumps on me and I am not feeling Fantasia, but I have been where she is.
I grew up in a very abusive home and around such negativity and I was always called ugly by my mom and then my brothers did and others.
I was not talented but because of how I was talked about and treated and even had teachers who said in my early years I would never be anything, so I retreated to books and learning and found out I had a brain. I did not have a lot of money while pursuing my education so I always dressed sloppy and always talked about me.
But today I have my PHD, I work at the Pentagon as Director of Program,I am the only one in my family who has graduated from college.
This year I was able to glady donate $20,000.00 to the United Negro College Fund and will do more in the future. so I can understand how all of you feel except (the out an out haters), but like someone said, Don’t throw in the towel yet because, I know the more hate I got the more on the inside everyday I said inwardly I AM GOING TO SHOW THEM, and I have a strange feeling this is what Fantasia may be saying because people have throwned her to the wolves and given up on her and are just plain hard, I have a feeling she is going to prove many people wrong.
By the way stop comparing her to anyone and especially Keisha Cole, because I don’t always like what she wears and I sure do not think she can sing.
Have a good day everyone.
@178 You seem so passionate about what you say and since you know she is n clubs then hopefully the next time you see her then why don’t you pull her to the side and say these things to her, I believe you may be a big help because it’s obvious she has no clue. You may be a big help.
@180 I heard some place too she was back and forth to NY working on something so I don’t know. They say here her career is over.I saw her at the Patti Tribute for the UNCF????? So maybe this is her last perfromance and no more albums, they all could be right it is over for Fantasia.
Fantasia !!
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND THAT BEAUTIFUL SINGING VOICE YOU HAVE.
I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE OR WEARING.I APPRICIATE YOU AS A VOCALIST.
FROM WHAT I HEAR ON THE RADIO AND THE SINGERS I HEAR TODAY THAY CALL THEMSELVES SINGERS.(RIGHT) THEY OUGHT TO JUST STOP.
YOU JUST KEEP THOSE GREAT VOCALS SO THE OLD SCHOOLERS CAN HAVE SOMEBODY TO LISTEN TO.
BECAUSE SOME OF THESES YOUNG WOMEN ARE NOT SINGING THEY DO A LOT OF MOANING AND WHINING AND THEY SOUND LIKE THEY ARE JUST CRYING……LAUGH!!!!
KEISHA COLES WISH SHE COULD SING LIKE THE”’ TASHIA.
KEISHA COLES HAD TO CHANGE HER OUTTA IMAGE BECAUSE THE SINGING DOESN’T WORK FOR HER…
SEE THAT’S WHY A L OT OF THES E SO CALL SINGERS SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON OUTTA IMAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTING ELSE WORKING FOR THEM..
WE FANTASIA FANS DON’T HAVE TO RESPOND TO THIS STUPIDITY .WE KNOW A LOT OF THIS IS JEALOUSY….SHE IS ONE OF THE FEW BEST YOUNG FEMALE BLACK VOCALIST….AND WE CAN NAME THE OTHER ONE……………LOL LOL LOL .
Fantasia and her family remind me of the Beverly Hillbillies, fools living in mansions and dress like hicks,no matter how much money they still country bumpkins and no class.
They say her mama suppose to be a Pastor I would hate to think what she preach in and I know Fantasia daughter is going to be embarrassed because I know her daughters friends mama see her in these pics.
it her fault and all her family need to go to charm and fashion school.
They moved out the ghetto like the Beverly Hillbillies and they still got in all on the inside of them.
I heard someone say money manifys who you really are well it magnified this familys lack of class.
They all just some ghetto fools, with all the mags (they probably can’t read), all the stores to shop in and she finds this and her teqm must be straight up hood too!!!! A bunch of no class black folk..
Too bad your daddy and mama are not the knowles now they know how to market their girls and maybe your mom should give give them a call your daddy too!!! They could take lessons.
Keep your head up Fantasia, Whoopi was on Mr.Blackwells list for the worst dressed many years in a row.
I really feel sorry for the dark souls with the terrible comments their comments reflect on what is really going on in their lives. I don’t see people they way they do because of what they wear.
@51 Listen STUPID!! Stop being so ignorant with ur unintelligent @ss, you don’t know what the he!! I do for a living! Nor do you know what I contribute to or participate in. First of all Fantasia is my girl and yes her outfit is not becoming on her in this picture. I am Entitled to my OPINION. Yes I said it! Yes Fantasia “Stylist” can dress that young lady better than she do. Wearing tight clothes is not classy at all. Stop assuming what you think you know about people. The question is, have you ever gone to a Germany, LA, New York yourself? You don’t know shi# about me. People like your ignorant butt can’t take constructive criticism. So you shut the he!! up. STUPID! I shouldn’t stoop to your level and entertain your tired a@@ but I decided I would. The bottom line is… it is what it is… Fantasia do need to start wearing clothes that look more becoming. She do not have to wear everything so tight to be fly! She got it going on financially and nobody can take that away from her and I love her music but her gear (clothes) do not have to look so hood all the time. Yes I’m country and loving it. Ms. Busy?! You wouldn’t know the character of a southern individual if a red apple hit you in the a@@, so kick rocks. Let it go!
F * ck all your stupid ignorant a**ses.
I could give a f*uck what she is wearing, but I would like to hit her up for a loan.
The hospital where I work here in B’Ham announced it was closing, I need a job.This is all you got to worry about.
I can’t belive these comments, and to talk about the girls family is just to off. You better pray to God her mama is not a preacher shame on you for dissing one of Gods people.
Your mama probably can’t tell some of you all what to do.
I am not defending her I ahve no comment about what she is wearing, like I said I got bigger issues.
By the way this blog use to be classy and they calling Fantasia ghetto.
@186 If you see Fantasia give her a shout out from me and tell her I ain’t mad at her.
I have this strong feeling that it is not over for Fantasia.I have this suspicion that it is not as bad as you all would have it. By the way its not a good idea to count anyone out.Just not smart at all.
I am reminded of an African young lady nearly 24 years ago who came to Chicago and only one person believed in her and said she could do it (her BFF). She was dark, not attractive at all and overweight and her hair had fallen out from a bad perm given by network hair stylists so she had this short Afro.
She got hated on about her looks and was told she would never make it on television.
She was hated, and criticized big time as she still is today.
So Fantasia, keep your head up.
That woman is Oprah Winfrey.
Many of you are too young but I was there, some folk still don’t like her.
She did a movie called Beloved and it flopped and many counted her out then, before that were the Texas cows and evreyone said she was finished.
So it is not good to count anyone, because it is not over until God says its over and to be more recent look at Senator Obama, how many people told him what he shouldn’t do or couldn’t do for various reasons and in the beginning many did not believe in him, he never gave up on himself and today he may be the most loved but he is also the most hated, so Fantasia believe in yourself if no one does.
I did not mention the outfitt because this is not about an outfit to me,but to encourage and lift the spirit of such a beautiful and gifted young lady, the same as I would want someone to do for my daughter if a bunch of bullies were coming after her.
God bless each of you and I too thought thid blog was classy.
Fantasia may get some other things on Broadway, and she will put out another cd, but what will really change. NOTHIN’
I feel sorry for anyone who is still waiting for her to become BEYONCE or on the level of anyone like that. Come on people.
Fantasia will keep getting these performances of UNCF every year. She’ll be called to pay tribute to REAL LEGENDS because she can sing her ass off, but don’t expect her to turn that into mega celeb status.
That’s her problem, she gets many opportunities but she can’t turn them into anything to elevate her status as an artist.
I have no doubt that she’s working on something for broadway and that she will be in TCP movie but will anything really change with her? NO.
This is just who she is, ghetto and all. There is nothing anyone can do about it.
Take it or leave it, that’s all anyone can do,
My advice is if you want to be a fan for someone who actually has their ish together and has stylists, management, publicists, and enough sense not to dress like a hooker? Try some of those artists you see on the front page of this site everyday, you know the ones who always dominate the media. Hey, being the best singer is highly overrated. Being a HUGE CELEBRITY and raking in the dough while managing to still look FLAWLESS most of the time is a major accomplishment, especially since those people don’t sing half as well as Fantasia. I give them props for making it to the top with marginal talent.
Maybe you guys should stop gassing up Fantasia by telling her that her vocals are so good so it doesn’t matter what she looks like. That is BULLSHIT> and that will continue to keep her at the back of the line, while the better looking, harder working, more motivated people stay ahead of her in the business.
Well, hope you all don’t have strokes and heart attacks trying to support this girl.
She really does not get it. She’s not stupid and dumb, but she sure as hell doesn’t understand the business. If she did, she never ever would have bought that too little ass leather or pleather? outfit. IMAGE IS IMPORTANT. Just ask BEYONCE.
I am lololol because what’s funny about this girl is that she does have talent, and she will be around doing something because she can sing. But BUT BUT as others have said she just stays in the exact same spot. Never progressing because her mind is not in the right place. I know how easy it is to feel sorry for someone like this, everyone loves to root for the underdog, but the point is that you want to see the underdog eventually become the top dog. With fantasia, it just seems like she is content to stay the underdog. I know people are always hollering about we don’t know what she’d doing and she’s working on this or that. BUT BUT BUT when is she going to work on fixing her damn image? When is she going to work on presenting herself with some damn class? She can get all the damn movie roles she wants, all the broadway plays she wants but she will never get the kind of credit her fans want to see her get doing the things she’s been doing lately. I am sorry ya’ll but people are upset when they support a person and want them to do well but that person seem to go out of their way to look a mess. Somethings not adding up with fantasia.
at some point you have to look at her and wonder what is really going on.
ok.. Who Cares??? FANTASIA can wear whatever she wants you nor I do not have to like it.. For this event why not wear leather??? ITS NOT THE GRAMMYS OR IDOL she can wear whatever. Just because she wears what she wants and dont apologize for it does not dis credit her vocal abilities. STOP worrying about what she wears just appreciate her talented gifts. For the record If rhianna would have wore this it would have been classifiied as edgy and rock star….. Alicia keys wore a number similar to this last year bet or mtv awards I cant remember… FANNY LOOKS HOTT!!!
^ FOOL, FANTASIA DOES NOT HAVE RIHANNA’S BODY, SHIT SHE WISH SHE HAD THAT BODY! AND DON’T EVEN BRING UP A.KEYS YOU PEOPLE ARE SOME DAMN CRAZY ASSES. STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY CHICK INTO A. KEYS AND RIHANNA SHE AIN’T NOWHERE NEAR THEY LEVEL!
SHE’S TOO FAT AND NEED TO COVER UP ALL THAT UNECESSARY JIGGLE. ITS NOT CUTE AT ALL! MAKEOVER fANTAISA MAKEOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Fantasia looks a mess as usual. I can’t take being her fan anymore, so I don’t even visit her sites like I used to. She is out of shape, desperately in need of an upper body work-out. Hair is a mess freakin mess, clothes are so tacky and she is not polished at all. She looks like she buys her clothes at the bargain basement. Why does she gel her hair down like that? Lawd, can someone hook her up with Rih’s stylist PLEASE.”
]
I say good riddance to so-called fans like yourself. You never mentioned anything about her talent. It was all surface garbage/materialistic BS.
“fantasia is so hood…and she makes no apologies for it lol”
Why should she? At least she’s being herself. Fantasia is talented, soft-spoken and seems to be well liked by her peers. Not to mention, she can sing her thick a$$ off.
“By the way F—– Simon, he should have been talkin s— about Simon Fuller and his lousy bigotted magmnt when Idol 19 managed her.
F—-Idol too!!!! ”
CO-SIGN!! Tasia is to real for these lilly white AI viewers.
“#37 Sweetie, Fantasia looks nothing like Meagan Goode. You need glasses boo?”
True…she doesn’t look like Meagan(that poster never said that she did BTW). Meagen always up in the club looking like a drunk ho. You are so right.
I’ve been to the US many times. What I’ve noticed is the majority of black women are fat (not thick like so many of you like to call it). It just amazes me at how many of you keep calling her that knowing darn well most of you could lose some weight you’re damn self.
“Even her poses scream “I’m from the ghetto”. she can do so much better with some help. Someone tell her she’s not a rock star, so just stop with the hand signals that look like gang signs. Fantasia get it together babe!”
Fantasia has always been into rock. I’d say that is where she belongs. She’s definitely got the pipes for it. I could see her be even more successful as a rock star. Not all black chics have to do neo-soul or r&b. Maybe one day the big guys will figure it out. I guarantee rock fans would appreciate her much more.
“fantasia would look so much better with longer shoulder length hair”
Disagree. I don’t want to see Fantasia sporting long weave/wigs. She is one of the few black entertainers out there who doesn’t have a subscription to Mr.Chin’s hair store. Give her a break.
“What will she be a legend for??? having the best voice but never getting her due because she was the worst looking artist to ever come out!? ”
Very sad. Even worst is that so many of you feel this way. No wonder music is what it is today. You all are too busy being fashion critiques.
“Picking ghetto men like young Dro’ who use her and dump her as I predicted months ago. Where is he now??!? Same type of hood trash men that she swore off years ago but can’t seem to leave alone.”
She is only human. She was dumped. Which one of us hasn’t been(excluding myself ofcourse…lol)?
“Why must she rock braces for 4 years? Who really does that?”
It depends on what shape her teeth are in. A lot of people wear braces for 4 years and longer.
I came to a Tasia topic awhile ago and I remeber, just like that other person who said they argues with her delusional fans that Dro would dump Fanny, and I got cussed out up and down by her straight up delusional supporters. Well, just like I said and a few others, Dro was nothing but a user. The crazy thing is that Fantasia and he fans really though this man was into her. HOW? Looking like a ghetto skank and he said he loved her personality =code word for “you are not hot I am just using your ass for photo opps on the red carpet, expensive meals at Mr. Chows and Cipriani’s which I can’t afford for myself, fly clothes while I go shopping with you and YOU PURCHASE for my broke ass” It really was ashame to see her being used. She works hard I will give her that, and I stick to what I say, he was good for nothing and I wish she could get every red cent she spent on him back.
Maybe next time, you all who are so into her will be able to see a no good man for what he is instead of bigging up a loser and cheering on an abusive creep. Better yet, let’s hope Fantasia has better sense to see these things for herself next time.
I think she’s mad talented but I don’t believe in supporting anything and everything she does, that’s why people labeled me a hater when I didn’t support her relationship with Dro. I’m not a hater, but I can see that she is in need of guidance from someone. Hopefully her mother will step up to the plate soon.
“IF SHE DID, SHE WOULD DO LIKE KEYSHIA COLE AND CHANGE HER IMAGE, GET A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS, EDUCATE HERSELF ABOUT THE BUSINESS AND DO SOMETHING TO GET HER CAREER IN GEAR.”
Keisha has no choice but to change her image cause this chic CAN’T SING LIVE or PERFORM if her life depended on it. Fantasia doesn’t have to depend on her image.
“but hasn’t she had like 4 years to get a education? It hasn’t taken keyshia cole that long but I guess some people are just SLOW.”
Keisha changed the way she dressed-nothing more. She is still classless,but I guess you couldn’t see past the designer outfit.
“Wow, these comments are very harsh and I hope Angel will do something about this because it is ridiculous.”
Angel won’t do squat. It makes her feel better about her ugly fat a$$. Everytime a picture is posted of Fantasia on this site it is unflattering. Angel new darn well how mean-spirited these comments were going to be.
” fantasia is just one of those people who will never get her head outta her ass. she just looking for a man. cruising the clubs in skank outfits and getting her swerve on. she aint about nothing. smh.”
Looking for a man? She’s young,what the heck is suppose to do? You all act like a man ain’t on your mind 24/7. I’ve never really seen any pictures with Fantasia in the club. Where the heck to you get your information? Are you assuming she is doing the same thing you do/did when you were young and fresh?
“for 155, Rihanna is a rock star fantasia is NOT .”
Rihanna is not a rock star. Wearing black leather does not make one rock. Rock fans would laugh at you if they heard you say that. Rihanna is pop. I wouldn’t go so far to say she’s r&b.
“Too bad your daddy and mama are not the knowles now they know how to market their girls and maybe your mom should give give them a call your daddy too!!! They could take lessons.”
I wouldn’t wish Tina Knowles(wannabe pageant sylist)on my worst enemy. Leave Beyonce to those pageant dresses. The Knowles need to worry about their own daughters-one married to nothing but a drug dealer and the other got knocked -up and was forced into marriage. Oh yeah,still waiting on Beyonce to finish high-school.
“I feel sorry for anyone who is still waiting for her to become BEYONCE or on the level of anyone like that. Come on people.”
Patti Labelle was never Diana Ross,but she had much success in her time. There is room for everyone. Success can be measured on many different levels.
@204, Fantasia has no choice but to change either ROTFLMAO
Look at her looking like a broke tranny in those pics! If she ever wants to be a star she better do like Keyshia and get it together! Being able to sing is not all that matters, if it were Fantasia would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay bigger in music industryr than she is today. Obviously image does matter because its the only thing holding fantasia back. Why do you think Keyshia outsells Fantasia? IMAGE. Just face facts honey, You can respond one by one all you want but the fact of the matter is that Fantasia will stay on the D list until she fixes her image. Now, having said all of that If fantasia likes being like the kid who stays in the 12th grade until he or she is like 19 years old, then so be it. If she likes it then I loves it lol But people like Keyshia has graduated from the hood mentality and so i must give her credit where it is due. At least she cares what she looks like and the public must like it too, can’t say the same for fantasia and as long as people like you tell her that what she looks like is fine she will keep looking a fool. good luck!
#152, child please. Fantasia ain’t hardly feeling like these posts in abuse. That girl prolly in rainbow right now looking for another spandex bustier with matching spandex pants and a polyester vest to highlight her cleavage. and this time she prolly going to get some spandex with rhinestones and glitter because this heffa just knows she got style.lol
I can’t believe that people are mentioning Rhianna in the same sentence as Fantasia. One of these is an artist , the other is some model with a bit of a voice . Fantasia can where what she wants at hip -hop awards ceremony , as many have said if anyone else wore this outfit they’d be calling it hot! I heard that she might be doing something in the UK which makes me so happy as last year I had to fly to New York to see her and that girl tore off the roof , Ghetto or not !!. I’m still laughing at those comments where people are saying Fantasia doesn’t have what Rhianna and Beyonce have ,the only thing she doesn’t have is the light skin and the media behind her and nucca’s like on this site .
Thing is Fantasia could go on stage wearing a garbage bag and she’d still upstage most of the “R&B Stars” of today , perhaps that’s the problem . She doesn’t need to rely on image she does it when it counts , so what if she goes to a club wearing an outfit no one likes , big deal. She’s the truth and ya’all know it !
Fantasia looks like ghetto trash in the pics. If she doesn’t do something about her image no one other that the 10 people who visit her sites will ever know about her lol
but I guess you all like keeping her to yourselves because no one else is checking for her. she could sell so much more if her image was worth anything but hey i guess she like looking like a homeless hooker. oh well.
bye!
I see there are plenty hear that don’t believe in karma , well good luck to you , you might need it !
^GOOD LUCK TO YOU, YOU DEFINITELY NEED IT SUPPORTING THAT GIRL WHO LOVES LOOKING LIKE A HOOD RAT.
Yeah. Ha.Ha.Ha Fantasia sure looks like a hootchie mama.
i heard of you very long time
