i went to the color prpl.website..i dont see any atl dates with Tasia?? just dc and chi twn?????
HOTTTT MESSSSS!!!!!
Gettin he- ad from fantasia on the highway
She needs to get some new skin like pharell did
Yes Tasia. She looks great.
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!!!!

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.
Luv Fantasia!!! Rep NC…Fantasia does it like no one else. This girl got soul. Cant wait for whatever projects she’s working on,!
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!!!!
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!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOVE me some Tasia. Love that she NEVA leaves the hood at home. She brings it, represents with pride, the same pride self hating ghetto girls try to hide, but can’t. Stop hatin you britches with the sticks up your asses.

im #60 ….. !! and when i wnt to (A WEBSITE) THEY DNT SHOW THE ATL SHOWS!!! ATL IS CLOSER TO ME ..WHICH IS WHY I ASKED !! AHH HELLO???? WHERE IS YOUR MIND AT!! (SHAKIN MY HEAD!!)
This girl can sang some gospel music.
She fix the teeth and lost the pounds, now watch her go under the knife…plastic surgery!
Its about time we switch from Rihanna and Beyonce to somebody else that can be a role model.
Gotta Love Fantasia…really talented…her tribute to Patti LaBelle was indeed one of her hottest performances…she will only get better with time…regardless of the numbers, as an IDOL winner she hasn’t done the numbers as Kelly, Carrie and Clay….but, white people buy more music than we do, they support their fans and want to see them succeed. We are a very fickle buying public and selling to us ain’t easy, especially, since we either find the music or artist boring and some of it is or not feeling it or sizing up the artist based on looks…the record companies don’t put out the most talented artists and the ones with talent oozing don’t get the promotional dollars, radio play or editorial as the handful that just happed to breakout, marginal or exceptionally talented.
Fantasia is a survivor, she’s manage to last this long in a business where fame is quite fleeting. Because she gives a powerful stage show, she’ll always have fans and her gospel CD will be the bizness I’m sure. Gospel people buy music and support the music and artists they like.
Go Fantasia…you are the deal!
Harpo who dis woman? ‘dem legs look rusty as hell, but the hair and the dress is nice.
#76 STFU yah dayum dick head. at least shes using her money to fix things that needed fixing (i.e. her teeth)
if she was going to get implants, she would have by now. shes been in the business since 2004. get a clue dumbo!
Ahh, the chir’in on the loop! LOL. Give me someone with tats who can SANG. Ya’ll can keep the pretty, beat-up non-sangers who have to resort to nude photo-taking. You can gaze at their photos while your ears bleed to their live music. LOL!
Get ‘em Tasia! You are looking good girl!
Fantansia lost alot of weight. She looks good. Her hairstyle looks good on her. I love it. I hope this year turns out to be a better year for her than last year.
Tattoos are so cheap to me. Her tattoos are scattered around, making it look ugly. Other than that, I love her. My mom adores her after watching that movie on lifetime. Beautiful story.
That’s too many tatts
Love Fantasia and will never forget that performance on American Idol (Summertime…it was a great TV moment)
I do agree on the tattoos, I am not a big fan!
I have to join the choir with not being a fan of the tattoos but I AM a fan of her voice. This chick can sang her butt off. She is an awesome performer. I hope she does a LIVE album one day.
JUST OVERLOOK THE TATTOOS & FOCUS ON HER TALENT!
SHE CAN SING CIRCLES AROUND MOST OF THESE FEMALES OUT HERE TODAY!
It’ll be funny if all the asshole commenting on her tats have 100 jailhouse tats their damn selves. Who are yall to say that’s too many tats! Get a life beotches. If you look at them all in one picture (not the ones on the loop) you will see her tats tell a story morons.
Fantasia looks beautiful,and I know she bougt the house down!! I see yall still hating on her on here,welll keep it up you aint doing nothing but elevating her higherv and higher,she probably laughs at yall all the way to the bank. Cant wait for the album and realiity show. Keep doing you Tasia!!
GOODNESS!
what a HAWWWT hot ass mess!!
I like her, but she got way too many tatoos.
I think fantasia is a great singer. I do want to give her some financial advice though:
You have done a lot to help your family and that is a blessing. Please don’t allow them to make you go broke trying to help EVERYONE. You are not obligated to let all of your people mooch off of you just because you are making money now. All those people living in your house still need to have JOBS. Just look at people like MC Hammer who went broke trying to put everyone on. Invest in your future and save. It’s all for the sake of your daughter. I wish you the best.
So glad she’s back to singing. That voice! Can’t wait to purchase the next cd. Come out quick with something new so you can show them how it’s done. Looks like she killed that show!
I think she looks great, Monica and Keisha Cole have the biggiest tats on there arms , and no one has anything to say leave her alone. Fantasia is is very talented and can sing her butt off, people should pay more attention to talent then wether someone has alot of tats.
Fantasia is looking great
fantasia lost weight. she looks good.
80. cw,
Who you calling dick head, son? And, “dumbo” was real creative. You must be around 5 or 6 years-old.
Anyhow, I never said anything about implants. Nothing wrong with her little bitties…but I bet she gets a nose job…they all do! And another thing, did I ever say plastic surgery was a bad thing? I don’t have a problem with her spending her money on what ever her heart desires. I just said watch…it coming!
I’m a big fan of plastic, weave, vaneres, tattos and press-ons…if its done right and the person takes care of it. So, you get a clue next time before you fly off at the handle. When you’ve gone to your extreme, all you’ve done is made a big scene.
That snout doesn’t go with her new figure. lol! Now, you can jump on that!
FANTASIA is the truth….that’s all i have to say
Looks like the BeBe dress they have on their site
Fantasia, if you or your peeps read this KEEP your tats, they are an expression of t he people who truly love you and youlove them your family, and to the person commenting about her family worry about your own her,yes she has brought her family along with her and they are getting paid too, I know you could not be talking about her mother or brother dickhead????
KEEP THE TATS, F—– these beyothces if it were not the tats then they would find something else for their broke asses to hate on…they ought to get job on Fox news remind me of the people always hating on Obama.you in good compnay girl keep up the good work at least they are talking about you.
A bunch of negative broke dickheads that do not support shit that is not free!!!
Stay with Oprah mama their asses just jealous!!!!!
And may I ask yo u how many houses do you own and since you know so much about Fantasia then you would know she has nannys and housekeepers in her homes because she works so much and everyone in her family is working as hard as she is…I can’t wait for your dumb assssses to see her reality show.. but you still won’t shut the fucccccckkkkkk up you all are just plain ignorant…by the way she owns three homes which one are you speaking off!!!
I mean i LOVE Fantasia bt i mean did she really need all da tatz???? I mean GOODNESS!!!
YES!!! the tats are okay because if it wasn’t the tats then you would find something else to talk about….look Fantasia KNOWS she is not perfect like Jordan Sparks (just read your comments) if Fantasia was as thick as her thenyou would be talking about that!!! YOU ALL HAVE CRITICIZED THIS GIRL FROM DAY ONE….I for one love her strength to press on, you see its easy to keep going when everyone loves you and you can do no wrong, if she were a lighter color, and came from money you would not be treating her this way…well let me advise you their are millions of black young girls who look like Fantasia and have dreams to and those are the ones God has placed her here for..tats and all!!! It seems a though she has come to love herself and that is big..I will always support her because she is the color of my Mom and sisters and she looks more like them a sister…and even though we have overcome we know hard times too…so lay off and quit being such a snob!!!
@103 SMHD: You betta say that!!! You are so right!!
FANTASIA LOVE FROM THE A…..JUST WAITING ON SOME NEW MUSIC.

Well since you asked. I own 4 homes, 2 condos, and 1 apartment building lol. You are calling me ignorant when you’re the one who can’t piece together a sentence without using profanity. If you read my comment then you would know I’m offering advice because I want to see Fantasia prosper. I wasn’t bashing her in any way at all. She has already been in the position of almost going through foreclosure. So you don’t know all the details. Next time do your research before trying to attack someone else. Also learn to spell correctly.
