Fantasia appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday and performed her brand new single, “Even Angels”. The singer also sat down for an interview with Oprah and talked about the mishandling of her money and fame.
She hit rock bottom when she found out she couldn’t even afford a pizza. “The pizza lady says, ‘Well, the card declined,’” she says. “At that point I knew that I had been mishandled. Because there should have been no way that there wasn’t any pizza money.”
Fantasia says she then experienced a moment of truth. “I couldn’t go to anybody else in my home and ask them for anything because I had been doing everything.” [ READ MORE ]
You can view her performance of “Even Angels” on Oprah’s official site. It is also on Youtube, but I didn’t want to post it because we all know Harpo does not play and it will be removed soon. LOL
In related news, Fantasia reprises her role in The Color Purple in Los Angeles from February 10 through February 28. As for her new album, it will be released sometime in Spring.

I agree. I just don’t get it either. Smh.
Fantasia looked beautiful and she sounded great! The song was beautiful and the audience loved it. She has a true gift and she was born to do this. She can sing the telephone book and make it sound good. I knew she would win American Idol as soon as she stepped into the audition room. Welcome back Fantasia. Your fans have missed you and your gift!
Tasia’s performance made me tear up alittle bit. I am also happy that she is learning, it taught me something about myself.
One word Fierce! Fantasia is truly an American Idol she is such a great inspiration to others who face adversity to never give up!
Diego shut your spanish ass up ….. she can crossover…
Diedo shut your ass up damn. your too spanish too black to cross over. this record screams cross over pop hit. You sound sooo stupid ” shes to black to cross over” shut that shit up get out of here with negative comments seriously. Fantasia is totally underrated and if people like rhianna or keshia coles cant get hit and be mainstream soooooo can tasia because she sings circles around everyone in the game if you want to be really real about it. she gives me what i want everytime!!!!!
GOOD JOB MS.BARRINO! RICCO NEEDS TO JUST KEEP DOING BACKGROUND VOCALS AND GET THAT MONEY. NOBODY WILL BE CHECKING FOR HIM AS A SOLO ARTIST.
(Sorry I was caught up in that last message it didnt make sense because diego had taken me there sorry, here is my message )
Diego shut your ass up damn. your too spanish too understand about pop or r&b if fantasia is to black to cross over. this record screams cross over pop hit. You sound sooo stupid ” shes to black to cross over” shut that shit up get out of here with negative comments seriously. Fantasia is totally underrated and if people like rhianna or keshia cole can get hits and be mainstream soooooo can tasia because she sings circles around everyone in the game if you want to be really real about it. she gives me what i want everytime!!!!!
She did the damn thang on Oprah. She will be just fine because she has Oprah wanting her to succeed. When Oprah talks people listen.
Wowww those braces really helped her. Her teeth look great.
I’m sorry, but I really didn’t like it…Fantasia’s voice sounds like a screeching cat (talking and singing)! It sounds boring to me, but to each its own….
I have no words to express, this song just have me in tears it’s so beautiful & touching u just feel it so deep down inside, Fantasia has awesome voice I’m so happy for her,..Fantasis just keep putting God first in everything u do, he’s giving u the give to sing so give him the glory & make him proud,..Keep up the good work and I will be buying your cd..
What a talent, what a voice. I saw a clip of Fantasia singing “His Eye Is On the Sparrow” she was 13 at the time, it was incredible. It is a shame, that we have to read and hear so much about talentless half naked girls all the time because they are supposed to be beautiful. Fantasia, Mary J,Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis, Beyonce,Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Whitney and Maria, they are the girls with the singing talent. I wish the media will pay more attention to talent and and stop forcing all these talentless, semi naked, over hyped drama queens ( Lady GaGa, you are excused )down our throats. Go Fantasia!
I loved this performance by Fantasia. She showed restraint and control singing, yet put little touches of Tasia in there. You could tell she really believes the words of this song and feels it in her heart. She made me shed a tear. I don’t care whether this is a crossover hit or not. I just want to hear it to get a lot of airplay. I love the message of the song. I loved her performance. Her hair was a bit “mature” for her, but it softened her up a bit. Her makeup and outfit looked great.
Back By Popular Demand …I wish Fantasia sucess on top of sucess! Make it a priority to see you in Bmore March 12th!
Best Wishes today, tomorrow & always,

I wish Fantasia much happiness and success.
