I like her but i think she made herself look so tacky with all those tattoos all over her skin. One or two here and there is fine but she went overboard with it.

It just seems like her music career didn’t really take off despite the fact that she’s so talented and was amazing on AI. I wonder if she’s still with the same label.

She looks nice and she has lost lots of weight, she looks a lot more toned. And yes that girl got some pipes on her and I agree w/#13- her 1st album was fire!

I hate to see a guy with tats all over his body so when I see a woman with too many I just shake my head in disgust! To me its such a turn off and so not classy. It’s definitely not a good look to me, but getting past that she looks good especially with the weight lost. I dont think she had to lose that much though, just tone up and she would have been good.

She looks better…but she is still a HAM to me. I want so bad for Fanny to be classy and talented. I understand all about keeping it real, but she’s jus too hood sometimes. CHick can blow, so Im sure it was a great performance

I dont mind tattoos but as a darker skinned person you have to be careful because it can end up looking like like marks all over the body and not art.
To add salt to wound, the actual tattoos she has are tacky….names all over place in italic writing, big arse tattoo on the thigh….it’s so dated.

I love this girl- she is the most underrated winner on American Idol- I dont think I watched it since she was last on it. She seems very humble and down to earth and is looking good! Go Tasia!!!
Have to hold my comments on her acting in the upcoming movie until I see it. That made for TV movie had a good idea, good story but I don’t think she pulled it off. Nevertheless I am rooting for her!

Dang, ‘Tasia!!!! What’s with place of those tats? I know one someone mention Rihanna with all he rtats, but it’s the way in which they were done and the places they were done…I luv my girl, especially when she spen a long time in the N.O. (which is where she got the tat on her leg done), and I see she’s rockin the weight- loss. Keep it up with your career girl and I will continue to support!

The only American Idol that I feel DESERVED to win. This girl cant just sing she can SANG!!! I was watching her this past Sunday on Bobby Jones Gospel ‘Mothers Day” and the girl brought tears to my eyes. You can tell that when she sings she sings from her soul! Go Tasia and she looks good with or without the weight. You know those country men like it thick…lol

Haters!!!! She is repping NC
Tuesday, May 12, 2009 /
Yes, I had haters….she is looking GOOD!!!! and for those of you who can’t read saying her career is done???? The girl is n her grind!!!
By the way she will be perfroming for the President in DC, he is taking time off from his busy schedule to see the show with his family DUH!!!! Doesn’t get any better than that and by the way Oprah has big plans for her Celie she is working it and laughing all the way to the bank tatts and all!!!!
Keep sleeping on this girl she knows what she is doing, you don’t.
The word is she has a lucrative contract and her album tracks are already laid they have a timing. She is doing just fine I don’t mind the tatts when she is perfroming like this no big deal because when she wants to hide them she does, they are her daughters face and her Moms name and her grandparents on her legs they motivate her she is only 24 and doing it. The girl has mad vocals.
Do you Tasia and by the way the President sent her word that he was proud of her…so hate on loopers!!
Thanks for repping NC Tasia.
Get some rest girl, hope you read this and thanks lop for posting these great pics!!!!
The body is toned!!! Dang!!!!

I WAS THERE and seh RIPPED it..you all so focused on the negative the girl is a real performer and gives her all and that is what you can say about many today, in fact watching and listening to her perform we did not pay the tats no mind she has you so engrossed in her perfromances. GREAT SHOW!!!!
Flying to DC to see her in the play!!! got tickets already and as far as her acting goes everyone I know who went to NY says the critics said it right phenomenal.Most of you her arm chair, career bloggers have not seen it.
I also heard while waiting in line at the show this weekend that Oprah is all in her career she is just quiet about it…..everything is well planned even the release of her album and her new mangagement and handlers are no joke.
You don’t have to like the girl…but where I sit she has accomplished a lot a true Idol and has brought her family along with her she and her Mom will be performng this summer in Chicago at the gospel fest.
Stop hating the girl encourage her she is a very positve example to so many we know the truth about where we ALL come from….she keeps it real and that is the real deal about this industry!!!
Thanks for posting!!!!
By the way the word id MANY in the industry love and are very proud of her!!!
Let me say this we know what happens with anyone Oprah invests her money into…the sky is the limit and Fantasia is truly putting int he work she has been very busy to the ones who have asked where she been the questiion is where you been….HANGING out a the blogs…and you all call Chris Brown abusive…what about your verbal abuse always toeards Fantasia….GOD BLESS YOU FANTASIA!!! Keep up the good work and like Oprah let your haters be your motivators they are still hating on her!!!!

SHE THICK, you need some glasses the camera even makes you look larger she has done more than lost weight she looks very toned, you all look for anything negative to say you all got some bad karma going on in your lives, very negative.
It sounds as though you are very unproductive people who are some negative very insignificant life and you don’t give anything to others. So much inward hatred and very low self esteem.She looks great and I will pay to see her will be going to show here in LA. Word Fantasia keep it up girl you look FAB!!!!Yes I said FAB this girl works hard and I am giving her her props, what you all mad at your prediction about her failing has not come true and Ilkie the fact she keeps you out of her business and just shows up, working not just taking pics.

Go to Playbill or Broadway.com she is scheduled for Sept.15 in Atlanta if I am not mistaken it is posted all dates for all shows ANGEL did not lie….she KNOWS Tasia you all don’t!!!!

@60 again smdh
Tuesday, May 12, 2009 /
I checked within a matter of secound I was right it is Sept 15-27th ATL.
Why you checking to be nosy or to try to say Angel lying,or do you plan to go to any of her perfromances I can’t wait until her reality show and youcan realy see what this girl is really up too…you all are so wickedly ignorant and you are the GHETTO ones not her,listen to yourselves.
Tasia if you good enough for the Pres you good enough for me and Oprah makes very few bad calls look at who our President is.Do yougirl I am proud of you and you are an example to many , there are millions of young girls with dreams like you who have to live with negativity and that is why they never live their dream because of the people who hate in their everyday lives much like these bloggers.
Peace and congratulations on all your success!!!
