  10. DropKick

    She always could but especially now…can get it in

  11. BEN

    I think the photos look really nice. I just wish that she would concentrate on that new album and pick up on that Broadway later. It’s been since 06 that we had an album from her, that should be her priority, isn’t that why she won that damn show? And why do they need to do another movie on The Color Purple? Wasn’t that done already? Thats not even necessary. Maybe a tv film of some sorts, but they don’t need to recreate it again. I’m just being real, I like Tasia as a SINGER first.

  12. LOOKING GOOD INDEED FANTASIA! I AM SO PROUD OF HER AND I AM ATTENDING AN EVENT HERE IN ATL THIS WEEKEND, WHERE SHE IS EXPECTED TO HOST. I JUST WANNA GIVE HER A HUG, LOL!

    its good to see fantasia doing her thing. she took a break from the music thing and went into theatre, i aint mad at you girl. and these photos are jaw dropping marvelous!! this is my first time seeing her without her braces and she looks gorgeous.you better work miss barino (:

  35. mrs. sk8board p (ak & bk stan)

    I think all of Derek Blanks’ photoshoot photos for everybody..LOOK THE SAME! they all get glamed up, *stop and pose for the frame*, then the pics get photoshopped like hell.

  36. ash

    glad they covered up her tats!!!!

  37. Intrigue216

    Hugh well, what can I say? She just can’t pull of the glam look to me. I guess I’m one of the few who feel this way scamming the comments, oh well. These shots are better than most I’ve seen her in, dare I say a slight upgrade? One positive I can say is that she can put on a good show, the girl gets down!

  38. Andre le Dale

    Best singer of our generation. The photos are perfection. Go Fantasia.

  39. dablkberry

    @34 grow up and get a life.
    @12 the movie is a musical. unlike the original that just had a few songs.

    Tasia looks great. Love this chick. Simply cannot wait

  40. PYT

    Feeling the shoot she looks great no longer the GHAM Fannie…her look matches her pipes powerful and classy.

  41. PYT

    @make my day I doubt she is have as ugly you must be to feel the need to make those comments…just a complete mess.

  42. I love her, but in that first pic with the red dress, she looks like a man.

  43. The GoodGOod

    for one, I don’t like it.. it’s not Fantasia…

    she’s not the sultry soulful singer in a jazz club.. that’s not fantasia.. get her screaming in a mic or doing a lapdance and we’ll believe it.

    You don’t put pearls before swine ( no offence )

    I’d prefer to see her in amodern setting, being a live singer not aged beyond her years lookign like she’s a jaz musician from whenever,… plus they need a steamer for that dress..

  44. The GoodGOod

    had to re post man.. these photos are just not flattering.. they’re overly styled, under photoshopped, wrongly styled.. and the makeup isn’t enough

    She should be coming out stunning, she should be the grace jones of RnB this shit makes her look like she’s a gospel singer.. I’m not buying it..

    wrong photogra[her.. I see her doing some shit with and edgier photographer who can capture all that is fantasia.. loud, ghetto-fab, care-free

    this shit here just looks stale and era-ambiguous which is not a good way to make her seem hoip and modern and relevant

  45. sunlight

    I saw a couple of these on facebook. Finally, she looks classy. I hope she takes this image to the top and stop dressing trashy. Great photog!

  46. fififj

    Go ‘Tasha! Can tell she has been working out and taking care of herself which is always a good look. That’s what I like about Keishe Cole- she has been taking care of her health and it shows. That is a glow that does not require surgery!

  47. bittervictory

    isn’t she normally all tatted up?

  48. Jimmy

    Somebody finally fixed that TRAIN WRECK!!! THANK GOD the new look is nice.

  49. faith08

    love her pictures..
    love her..

  50. WOW

    Get it Tasia.

    She can do broadway if she wants. A check is a check & she has a child to feed. So fall back.

  51. Mrs. PT

    I see she covered up those tacky tatoos. That’s why I refuse to mark up my body because I don’t want to regret that crap later.

  52. MICHELLE

    @ 33 It takes a happy and grateful human being to speak great things of another and it’s easier to put a person down than to give them their props. So try and to be a little more happier in your life and see the glass as being half full rather than seeing it half empty. if you were truly happy, you wouldn’t see tasia or any other human being in such a derogatory way. Try to glorify God in your life, and see what He does for you. Go Tasia!!!

  53. southern comfort

    Fantasia looks so good really really cute! I am a fan of her music

  54. Renae

    She looks nice but I really wish she would focus more on her overall career. I know we don’t always need to worry about what others think or say but Fantasia is a talented young girl who in my opinion, isn’t pursing her dreams nor is as focused as she should be. Fantasia can get some #1 hits but she ain’t putting them out like she should be.

    And stop destroying your body, these younger entertainers are really going to far with the tattoos. Who told ya’ll that was attractive. Especially all over your arms, right now were I’m at their making teachers cover up their tattoos for the upcoming school year.

  55. Phillyfashionista

    NOPE! Don’t like it.

  56. Shonty Graham

    Fantasia looks good, the hair is nice especially in that white lace top

  57. Ladyssolady

    These are the best pics I’ve seen of her. I agree w/#29.

  58. Tashie B

    nice pics…

    go head girl and make that money doing the color purple! i ain’t mad at ya!
