    Man, Naturi is one beautiful lady!!

    Trenyce luks good as well, but needs to drop the red lipstick, and wax her upper lip…just sayin

    Tisha looks like Peta just got thru splashing her whole face with white paint, and she told herself : ‘: Okay,I can work with this’….lookin’ like Eartha Kitt after her mortician did her up…NOT a good look!!!

    Kim could put lion down with that calf muscle, MY GAWD!!

    I was actually there that night. Fantasia was AMAZING!!!!!! She has really stepped her acting game up. I got teary eyed a few times she was so good. Latoya London played “Nettie”. It was nice to see her actually working. The woman who played Sophia was HILARIOUS!!!! if the show comes to your town go see it. Its worth the money!

    Shanice makeup is terrible i wish people would take a picture of themselves after putting on there makeup so they can see how they will look on camera

    I WONDER WHEN THIS WILL BE IN ATL AGAIN. ??

  20. MILLHOUSE

    IM CONFUSED. ON HER SHOW DIDNT FANTASIA SAY THAT THE REASON HER LAST ALBUM DIDNT DO WELL WAS BECUZ SHE WASNT ABLE TO PROMOTE IT SINCE SHE WAS DOING THE COLOR PURPLE????????

    WELL NOW SHE IS DOING THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN. SHE HAS AN ALBUM COMING OUT AND SHE IS DOING THE COLOR PURPLE AGAIN!!! SO DOESNT THAT MEAN SHE IS GONNA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS LAST TIME. i WONT FEEL BAD FOR HER IF HER ALBUM FLOPS CUZ ITS OBVIOUS THAT SHE DIDINT LEARN HER LESSON THE FIRST TIME.

    SHE NEEDS TO ONLY TAKE ON ONE PROJECT AT A TIME. SHE COMPLAINED THAT SHE DIDNT HAVE AN ALBUM OUT IN COUIPLE OF YRS, AND NOW WHEN SHE HAS AN ALBUM COMING OUT, SHE GOES BACK TO THE COLOR PURPLE..???.. MAKE UP UR FREAKIN MIND FANTASIA!!!!!!!!!!! EITHER U WANNA DROP AN ALBUM, OR U WANNA BE A BROADWAY STAR! I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYONE DO BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY AND HAVE BOTH BE SUCCESSFUL.

    WHEN UR DONE WITH BROADWAY THEN DROP UR ALBUM… I HATE WHEN ARTISTS HALF ASS THEIR WORK. SHE COULD BARELY HANDLE HER SCHEDULE THE FIRST TIME… YA’LL WATCH N SEE. SHE’S GONNA END UP IN THE SAME DAMN PREDICAMENT.

  21. Truthfully

    @Millhouse, Fantasia is only doing the play for this month only. Her album drops in March/April, by then she’ll be done with the play/VH1 show and be ready to tour and promote her album.

  22. BoogsMommy

    I actually went to the show last night and Fantasia did NOT show up due to a “sore throat”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hasn’t she used this excuse already?????!!!!! Babygirl needs to grow up and play her part. People pay good hardearned money to see you perform, u could at least show ur appreciation and show up to your shows….NO MORE FLAKING.
