    The View to promote your album and reality show?

  25. Lizzy December 8, 2009

    Fantasia you and Jamie Foxx have such great professional chemistry any plans to do any acting together. I think the two of you would be great in a remake of Mahogany, Lady Sings the Blues. Also you have a great unique speaking voice, you’re very eloquent. You have a great voice for animation, any plans for that?

    • Josh November 21, 2013

      I agree. Fantasia and Jamie Foxx would be hands down perfect for a Mahogany remake. Let’s speak it into existence.

  26. nec December 8, 2009

    Fantasia do you even know Antwaun Cook?

  27. Michelle December 8, 2009

    Fantasia please tell me that a movie version of the Color Purple is in the works with you as our Celie? You were glorious, just lovely in that role. I’d love to have that captured on film for me to have forever.

    Also, love your new style. The pictures that I have seen have really captured your beauty. Keep up the good work.

  38. LVJ December 8, 2009

    Thanks grapejuice for the chance to ask Fantasia a question Fantasia I would like to know if you will always do the screaming that you do when you sing I have been reading a lot of comments about that and a lot of your fans have wanted to hear you perform songs in your concerts without the screaming they have said that they wish they could hear you perform without you doning that .

    Fantasia I am a 63 year old lady and haave followed you for years a and I would like to know if you will sing more ballards I love to her you do slow tunes and jazz

  39. *Ladii* December 8, 2009

    Fantasia,

    What was your “point/intention” in exposing the tattoo on your sholuder and then denying it? Was it a publicity stunt for your upcoming show?

    …Kuz really, if that was her intention(one of)… how stupid. Just making a fool out of herself and that man(whoever he is) as well.

  40. Renee December 8, 2009

    Fantasia, you have beautiful skin. Will you promise us you won’t get any more tattoos pleeeeease?

    Fantasia I’ve seen you in concert 3 times over the past two years and LOVE how you perform and I’ve heard the same songs each time will you be changing up your concert song set soon?

    Will you have a song with Ceelo on your next album?

    Fantasia, will you be updating your official website or getting a new one?

    Fantasia do you have a fan club? I’m ready to sign up.

    Do you and Jennifer Hudson keep in contact? Have you seen her baby yet?

    Fantasia will you and your mom have a song together on your new album?

    Are you currently in a relationship or are you single?

    How is your relationship with American Idol 19 management? Do you still talk to them?

  41. Sandi D. December 8, 2009

    Hi to Fantasia,My dad was born and raised in High Point,N.C. He relocated with my grandmother to Philadelphia,but most of his fam.still resided there.I loved going there to
    visit that side of our family.I know things have changed a lot since then.(You were an infant
    I’m sure)lol..We all voted like crazy for you on A.I. because not only could you blow,but you were from hometown..I really miss seeing you.I was also hoping you would make a singing appearance on my favorite show…Wendy Williams..she has such a huge fan base following and I notice a lot of artist make her show a major stop when trying to promote anything.It would really be great exposure for you,your album and your new VH1 show.Contrare to what you may have heard,she is really a beautiful and sensitive woman,who makes no secret of all the mistakes she has made in her past. Do you see that as being a possibility? Love You…I know Zion must be a little lady now..(smiles)

  42. Quentin Bruno December 9, 2009

    Tough question, hard time but :

    As a vocalist, having any kind of throat problems is extremely difficult. Did you feel difference post operation? Did you need any kind of vocal therapy?

    BTW you bring out the blackest part out of me (a 19 yo French/american white boy ^^)

  43. leehil December 9, 2009

    This is your third album what is different with this album as oppose to the other two?
    Why do a reality show? Why alllow people into your life and that of your family?
    Do you have any acting projects in the pipeline? If you had to chose working on a film with Clint Eastwood/Tyler Perry/Spike Lee who would it be with?

  44. sandsman December 9, 2009

    Fantasia, first let me say that I have followed your work since you first opened your mouth in the Idol auditions and have been mesmerized ever since. Just know you have a lot of people who truly understand the gift you’ve been blessed with, which in turn, blesses us.

    You’ve had to grow up fast over the last few years, continuing to “go through some things” in your life – should we expect to “feel” that in your next CD, and if so, how?

    I know you’re still young, and of course, wanting to remain current, but can we expect that Old Soul of yours to bring back some classic R&B sound? Daydreamin’ was mentioned in one of the other questions I read, which is a perfect example of what I am referring to (and yes PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE add it to your new set).

    Looking forward to big thing in 2010 for you.

  45. Leonard December 9, 2009

    Hi Fantasia i’ve been a fan of yours ever since Idol , the precise moment I actually fell in love with your voice for real was when I heard you sing on that “Life is a Highway ” commercial . I live in the UK and Season 3 of Idol was the only season I watched from start to finish , I look back at your performances now and it”s still surreal to me that someone performing in a talent show could really be that good !!! My question is , when are you going to come to the UK ? I know you said you wanted to travel , but the UK needs you !! We are starved of real performers and true vocalists here and you are just what we need , come soon xx

  46. Leonard December 9, 2009

    Hi again , just wanted to say that I came over last year , just to see you in the Color Purple , and it was worth every penny , even waited at the stage door but missed you , Damn !! I did speak to Miss Sheena though . lol

  47. Annette December 9, 2009

    Let me add my request for you to perform Daydreaming Live. That song and those concerts were the bomb!

  48. TruthIs December 9, 2009

    Do you have any colaborations on this album?

  49. Natam December 9, 2009

    Hi Fantasia!
    My questions are: your performance of Lady Marmalade just blew me away. Are there any other songs you’d like to cover, and why?
    Your second album came out 4 years ago and i’ve missed you a lot. Do you sometimes feel the “need” for music, for singing, for putting out songs?
    What are the chances for a duet with Chaka Khan?

  50. lisa December 9, 2009

    Since you and Jennifer Hudson are close friends, have Jennifer and Beyonce spoken to each other recently? Do they get along? Have she told you anything about this?

  51. NeceD December 9, 2009

    Will you PLEASE add the song Daydreaming by Aretha back to your song set when you do concerts?

    Will you be taking any acting classes or coaching?

    Do you work with a vocal coach ongoing or would you consider working with one ongoing?

    Will your Dad be on your reality show?

    Will you be communicating with your fans more?

  52. Rai December 9, 2009

    Will you do any cover songs on the new CD? If you do, I suggest the James Brown classic, “Talking Loud and Sayin’ Nothing”. The song is appropriate for all of those hateful blog sites that take pleasure in posting negative about you and other people.

  53. monique December 9, 2009

    did she enjoy her run on the color purple and would she ever do it again?

  54. Nicole December 10, 2009

    Fantasia, will we hear new songs from you in your TV show?

    Fantasia, will you be singing different and new songs in your concerts?

    Fantasia honey when are you updating your website and myspace page?

    Will you ever do another song with Jennifer Hudson?

    Will you having any album release parties and CD signings to promote your new CD?

  55. b December 10, 2009

    Hi Fantasia,
    I was listening the other day to your upstream video with your brother and you said you don’t go on Twitter or Myspace, my question is how do you update your fans as to were you will be performing and whats going on regarding your career ?

  56. derj December 10, 2009

    Have you picked the songs that are going to be on your cd yet?

  57. Mya December 10, 2009

    Tasia, I would like to know why you don’t file a lawsuit against some of these people.
    Wendy Williams sat on national tv last week and just out and out lied about Simon Cowell giving you some money for your house.It pissed me off because she not only lied about that but she lied when she quoted Star magazine.
    I personally hope you never do her show unless she apologizes to you because she was also insturmental in spreading the LIE not rumor about you being pregnant by Dro and engaged when you were doing the play and when you were sick and perfroming she lied then too!!!
    You should sue CBS and Wendy Williams why do you let these people say a bunch of anything about you and just run with it.
    Tatoos come and they go, I know you are not a fool.You ahev good influences in your life your Mom and Grandmother they have your back so forget the rest.
    Stay humble girl and let the haters hate.
    I am serious about you and Brian putting your foot down with these liars,if they are going to report something tell the truth cause gullible people believe a lie before the truth.
    What you all going to say when you look up one day and all the tats are gone like her braces.

  58. Mya December 10, 2009

    Sandi she does not owe Wendy Williams anything and she does not have to do her show.
    Would you want to be in the same room with someone that only has trash to say about you and lies.
    She has people of integrity like Regis &Kelly, ABC, even BET who has never really trashed her.Like I said she should get a cease and desist order or start making people PROVE EVERYTHING they say, because even with the Antwan mess a LOT of lies are out there and people like Wendy Williams feed off of lies.
    Even Monigue show is nothing but entertainment and informing us about the positive things our people are doing. She should do her show!!!!!
    And Oprah never does not repeat the National Inquirer and if she does say something not right she always apologizes which is rare.
    Forget your Wendy Williams she does not need her and like Simon Cowell Wendy Williams has never given her anything.
    SUE HER AND CBS FANTASIA

  59. Ann Davis December 10, 2009

    Precious you know how much I love you and your family.
    Baby girl,I pray and speak favor over your life always and always wish you the best.KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MAMA. As for the haters for every hater there are 3 supporters that have your back.
    KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, SO PROUD OF YOU.Many would have caved in and quit,but you haven’t.
    Brian thanks for having our girls back.
    My question is how is Ms.Zion and is she excited about being on tv?

    @LEEHL Why not do a reality show, I think it is a smart move because most people DON”T know the REAL Fantasia the gossip bloggers from day one and the internet have had a field day with just plain nonsense, this will give her real fans and supporters a chance to get a TRUE glimpse into her life and judge based on reality than the lies that have been posted.
    SMART MOVE TASIA AND VH1.
    I believe you will also see the comical side of Tasia.
    I also see this going other places.
    THANKS THE GRAPEJUICE. YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY POSITIVE WITH TASIA KEPT IT MOSTLY FOCUSED ON HER GIFT THE MUSIC THANK YOU!!!
    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

  60. Ann Davis December 10, 2009

    lLet me add I do not watch Wendy Williams, the day I saw and heard her read something that Star magazine said about Oprah and Whitney I changed the channel that day and never returned.I hate gossip personally and it can lead to lying,well it is lying and it can destroy a person whom God created.Like Tasia told the young women at Spelman college no one is perfect but God.
    If she can have a talk show based on gossip then why can’t Tasia do a show based on her reality for her fans to enjoy, because I personally know her family are good decent,moral people.

  61. Fannyfan4life December 10, 2009

    Fantasia my question is are you going to write another book?
    Will your Mom ever do any interviews or a book?
    Why are their no pics of your Mom, and will you do a family phot.(your Mom can blow and she is so pretty she looks so young on youtube)
    Can your daughter sing?
    Your brother Rico is so fine, does he model is he going to record with you some day?
    When are you going to do a gospel album?
    Are you going to bring back the old school glamour like Diana Ross, Aretha,Patti they kept their clothes on and always wore some hot stuff.I loved Diana Ross in Mahogany her style was always on point your cover picture in mag and this pic remind me of her?
    Please sing more flat footed ballads.
    God Bless you Fantasia.

  62. Lesa December 10, 2009

    Fantasia honey I LOVE watching you perform and I’m ready to hear you sing different songs in concert. When will you be changing your concert song set?

    Will you please add the song Daydreaming by Aretha Franklin back to your song set?

    Where and how can your fans stay updated on your appearances and concerts? Do you have a website, message board or fanclub?

  63. TruthIs December 10, 2009

    Fantasia, the fans wanna see you add Daydreaming back in your set. We love the way you performed it.

  64. sunshine baby December 10, 2009

    are you willing to adopt a cousin

  65. annette December 10, 2009

    LOL at Sunshine Baby!! That was funny!

  66. #1FantasiaFan December 10, 2009

    I LOVE you Fantasia!

    Will you be working with Midi Mafia again on your new album?

    I know you have new management but do you have a publicist to help you with publicity, promotion and rumors?

    Fantasia honey you need a fan club and some online contact with your fans. We never hear about anything until the last minute. Will this be happening soon?

    Will there be any remakes on your upcoming album?

    I’m jumping on the bandwagon. Will you please add Daydreaming by Aretha back to your concert song set?

  67. Melissa December 11, 2009

    Fantasia, you’ve been brave enough to do what a lot of actors who consider themselves crafted would never do and that’s do a lesbian kiss. We saw rumors start about Queen Latifah’s sexuality after she played Cleo in Set IT Off, were you ever worried that people would question yours too if you did the kiss?

    Fantasia, we’ve been hearing for years that Oprah wants to turn the play into a movie and wants you to play Celie based upon your great reviews in the role. It’s been said that they are waiting on you to finish your album and tour this year before production will began. Is there any truth to that and is the movie still a go?

    Fantasia, we’ve seen your career jet off from a very high peak when you won American Idol and for a few years it was on a very high course. You’ve spoken of rebuilding you dynasty. Which one thing, event, or detail do you think changed the course of your career the most?

  68. Reita December 11, 2009

    Lots of good questions here.

    Will you be going on Oprah to promote your album?

    Will you return to American Idol this season to perform and maybe even be a mentor?

    Your skin is very pretty and those tattoos are in the way. Please tell us you are finish with getting tattoos pleeeeease?

    Where can your fans go and get updated information, news, appearances and concerts? Is there a website or fan club available?

  69. From NC December 11, 2009

    Fantasia, I think the show is a very smart move as well.I am acquainted with someone who knows your Mom and Grandmother very well and she says she laughs everytime.
    She said that Cooks wifes friends were upset about the fact he was interested in you and that they had been separated for sometime.They wrecked their marriage long before you.That you never moved him in any of your homes.Your Grandma and mama would have hit the ceiling anf that you listen to them.
    She also said that someone told Star magazine those lies and that you were threatened and that was why you let people see the tattoo, because your life is an open book when it comes to your fans. Others had seen the tat.She also said it is true that you are not involved with anyone because you don’t want any drama and that you want to focus on your career.
    She said you did not wreck anyones home, the guy liked you and that others did not want to see him with you if he had been with anyone else a word would not have been said and his wife would have not cared.
    Be encouraged.I knew there were a bunch of lies as usual.
    My friend says the show is the best idea yet because people have a wrong impression of you.She said she has never met one person people have gotten it all wrong about.Just all wrong she says she has never seen nothing like it, she says being Black and telling the truth about your past people tended to judge you from that and not got to know you.
    I am glad you told the truth,because there are so many young girls today BLACK,WHITE and Hispanic like you…and you can let them know no matter what people think find your gift andf fulfill your destiny with Gods help.
    Fantasia THANK YOU for representing NC in your show and I believe this is not all about you and many of us appreciate you that is why we took 3 buses to NY to see you.
    How is your precious little girl.I desire to see more of her I remember when you brought her on stage on Idol.People always ask about others children.
    I know this is long but I have been wanting to encourage.
    My family will be watching you each week and will be at Wal-Mart for your net cd I already know I am going to buy more than one copy.
    Love you Fantasia and God bless you and you family.Again thanks.
    Oh, I am glad you have your Mom and Grandmother to help you watch your back and that you listen to them, because its some crazy women out here.

  70. From NC December 11, 2009

    Let me add this, this young lady did a PHENOMENAL job on broadway!!!!! Instead of some of you all praying for her YOU chose to believe ALL the lies and rumors from gossip, blogs.
    I used my wisdom.I never believed any of it because I also read her book and the book shows her true heart and I knew she would never have another child out of wedlock and she was committed to being on time.
    She has wonderful character and a strong work ethic.
    Many people owe this young lady and apology, it may never happen.Well they should ask God to forgive them.
    Fantasia has anyone i n the business especially bloggers ever come to you to apologize especially when they found out you performed with tumors????? SMH
    Again God bless you!!!

  71. Bria December 11, 2009

    @ Bria It took a turn when she succeeded on Broadway when people sat on the net and belittled her, when she won two pretigious awards and she got more votes in the history of Broadway.com for one award.The blogs did not show you anything positive.Thanks to fantasia.net we were able to stay on top and we got the news and there are places here to get updates.Fantasia has not been at home playing with dolls with her daughter in fact she has done more shows than anyone right here in the United States the past two years, even whild doing the play this summer she was busy doing shows.
    People have not wanted to know she is booked for the month of Dec and even doing a taping in LA on the 12th with her Mom and just finished two shows Dec, 2nd and 4th.
    The girl has been working her b*** off and even that grape juice can verified. She in fact has done as many or more shows than Bey right here in the US and has also appeared a churches and countless schools and speaking engaements.
    The other poster is right people don’t know and would rather believe a lie than to seek the truth.
    Fantasia is not the ignorant or dumb and most def not the stupid one.

  72. Bria December 11, 2009

    Now my question is this?Fantasia how do you deal with the ignorance you see and hear.What does your family do.IAre your Mom and Grandmother a big help.

  73. B’H am, ALabama December 11, 2009

    WOW!!! I remember fantasia.net we had fun when you were in New York then the net turnit ugly.
    How did you handle that, and why did Idol 19 not protect you.
    How did you still perform so well and you were so sick and dehydrated. I read you said you could taste blood? Were you afraid ?
    I have been following you and its true you have been busy perfforming in cities here.
    My cousin and I are coming to Atlanta to see you with Maze in January.
    How do you do so much.
    I want to hear what your Mom has to say about everything you have been through, I know she has a story to tell. Will she be doing an interview soon?
    I hope you can answer my questions?
    Oh, and Fantasia I don’t care about your tatts, if I have to accept Lady Gaga and all the naked ness and non singers then I can surely accept your tats and your beautiful gift of singing.The tats can be removedsomeday.You can afford it and you will always be singing.
    Stay focused and shake the haters, people need to move on you surely have.
    Love all the new pics. I want to see a family phto.
    Oh, my main question are you doing the theme song for your show and will you be producing any episodes?
    Since you shopped the show was it your format????
    Sorry so long. and so many questions.

  74. Melchiee December 11, 2009

    Someon posted on youtube about this interview.I am glad I came over.The comments and questions are interesting.Mine have already been asked, except how do you stay strong?
    I for one need to ask forgiveness, because I fed into M**,B***** and Sandra Rose lies an d Concreteloop readers were snobs and mean.
    This site never said negative stuff in fact I remember how they applauded your performances often.
    Please stay away from Wendy Williams.
    Will you be doing good morning America, I hope Oprah has you on. I really do and Regis and Kelly. I would love to see you greet Whoppi and she interview you. You and she have so much in common.She dances to her own beat too.
    I will keep checking for the interview.
    Will be watching for Fantasia For Real, now that’s what up.
    My new years resolution I may read the trash blogs but no more negative comments.

  75. Philip December 11, 2009

    @Melissa I believe Fantasia had very BAD management with Idol 19. It looks to me they did not want her to succeed as an Idol.
    The US is full of snobs and bigots you all hold double standards.
    SHE told the TRUTH and they werre ashamed of her.Jennifer Hudson came from a poor background but it never got mentioned we would not have really known about her sordid family until the incident. Fantasia do you feel the bigotry?
    Your photos and cover shots are FAB. Do you think any white mags will allow you to do covers, you look great got some American Top Model ish going on and has anyone approached you about endorsement about your body?It looks great.
    A lot ot hard work.
    If that were someone white every mag would have them on cover and they would be talking about how they did it.
    Come to the uk, heck you can move here. We will treat you with respect.
    My Mom flew in to see you in New York she was so excited and still today says how good you are and does not understand the industry in the us. They have their favs. I guess.

  76. Marilyn December 11, 2009

    This is more of a statement than a question. Fantasia, please keep doing what you do because there are plenty of us who love and respect you as an artist. Keep reaching for the stars and stay true to who you are. Don’t allow the haters and other naysayers to get in your way; don’t even see them. Stay focused on building a lasting career and stay connected to God, I know he will never let you down. Finally, I pray that whatever you seek to do in the entertainment field God opens those doors and you run through ready to show everyone how great and talnted you are. God bless, Marilyn

  77. Rebecca December 11, 2009

    Marilyn, That was beautifully said and I agree with you wholeheartedly,because I know there are MANY,MANY, young women of all races and cultures who can identify with Fantasia, to me she is a true model of strength, there is no way I could take all the hate and lies and hold my head up.Fantasia you are a STAR because you will not let your light dim.

    My question is does Oprah favor Jennifer over you,? Sometimes I think she has forgotten where she comes from.My mom remems her from the very beginning and she said she looked nothing like she looks now when she first went on air in Chicago and she took a lot of flack and her past is far from perfect,she says you remind her of Oprah because they hated on her the same way called her too black and nose too big and ugly to be on tv and when she gained weight they really let her have it and when Beloved failed she went through.So my Mom says KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!You have a beautiful gift from God and all white people don’t dislike you,hey we are not perfect either.

  78. Derek December 11, 2009

    Fantasia some of us are concerned with how you are treated by other Gossip blogs and tabloids. You work so hard and deserve the best. It would be nice if you could do an interview on TV like 20/20 or Oprah addressing ALL rumors old and new before your next album drops you know just clearing the air. Will you get your new managemnt to make this happen?

  79. Tiffany December 12, 2009

    Fantasia,
    Is it true that Jennifer Hudsons people will not allow her to associate with you in public that if you have a friendship it must be in secret because white people prefer her over you and they think you are bad for her image.
    Did she not come from the hood too? Her brother was a thug,gang banger and drug dealer and her sister used drugs and sold them (I don’t mean any disrespect and if you had a child out of wedlock they would have had a field day, they even wanted you to deny your daughter)
    How do you feel about these things? Have you ever felt like quitting.I am going to support you,cause I know how phony this industry is and I don’t think its all that with you.They blow up who they want to and protect who they want to.
    Hey you were good enough to perform with her when she was pregnant.(sheand her people lied about it.),
    Also, do you feel that Oprah used you, because you made them a boatlad of money in the Color Purple.I think sl, she is a snob too.
    Why won’t she have you on her show only to promote her ish!!!!

  80. Mya Blu December 12, 2009

    Ms.Fantasia, I do not know if you remember me but I wrote on your facebook page (your brother Ricco wrote me back and informed me that you do not have a account with facebook,I guess a fan has posted it)
    Well anyone I told you how you inspired my Mom to go back to school and study to get her GED well she is going to take the test in January,everyone thinks she is ready.
    She is going to apply at nursing school.She wants to be a LPn and then study to be an RN, she said I am not going to be a tech.She said I want a nursing degree, she said if Fantasia can keep it moving so can I.
    I found out about this on youtube,some one said they were going to interview you.
    I will be watching your show in Alabama it will be coming on at 9:00.My mom and younger brother will get a chance to watch it to.
    My Mom says hi and thank you.Keep up the good work Ms.Fantasia.
    I really have no questions,as far as I am concerned you are doing all you need to do and my Mom says people should keep their mouths off you and the best thing they can do is pray,if they can.
    Thank you, Ms.Fantasia for inspiring my Mom.
    Are you ever going to speak at any school in Alabama?, I would love to attend with my Mom.

  81. Blaise December 12, 2009

    @Derek, If you go to youtube and check you will see where she has done interviews to clear up lies and rumors.TJ Holmes interviewed her this summer on CNN.It is on youtube..,.You should stay off the blogs, or stop believing everything they say.I think she should just keep it moving, because the other day some broke ignorant black woman said she had a baby, and I said that’s a bold face lie she has one daughter who is 8.She was never pregnant,I said Jennifer Hudson just had a baby not Fantasia.I said stop the lies.
    Fantasia did an interview with CBS in NY and stood up when she was asked abotu being pregnant.
    Ms.Fantasia, Keep up with the glamour shots, make good music show the white folks and even Oprah what you really can do, and don’t stop living your dream.DO YOU the best you know how.
    You don’t have to keep explaining yourself.STOP TAKING SHYT OFF PEOPLE!!!!!
    Your manager needs to be touogh as nails as white managers, I hear he is black.

  82. Broadway,NYC December 12, 2009

    Hello Fancy, Has Quincy spoken with you about any project? Or Stevie Wonder? I noticed they put you with old schoolers lately.Its looks like you have a strong urban fan base.
    Has David Foster ever spoken with you about anything.I think you could match up good with any white singer out there anyone can see from youtube how versatile you are.
    I hate the bigotry and prejudice and racist people in the industry.
    Girl you are a sanger and a true live performer and I hope your management gets on the stick.I think you need a white team.Sorry, but that’s how it is.

  83. Penny December 12, 2009

    Ms. Fantasia,
    I don’t have a question. I want to say your pics are great in Upsscale we have a copy.
    You should do some modeling.I hope you get more covers.My family says you are NOT UGLY, you are beautiful.My mom says the cover reminded her of Diana Ross.In fact she says she thinks you photograph betterthan Rhihanna because of your skin color and she says you ae prettier to her than Jennifer H.
    Just saying.
    God Bless you Ms.Fantasia.
    Oh, my mom said ask you if I’m Here going to be on your cd.She said she is buying me and her a copy, not bootlegging either.LOL

  84. Dante “Fantasia’s Number 1 Fan” December 12, 2009

    Please ask her if she plans to TOUR after the release of her 3RD album

  85. Renee December 12, 2009

    FANTASIA what kind of endorsements are you going after?

    FANTASIA, will there be a musical movie for the The Color Purple with you starring as Celie?

    FANTASIA’S MANAGEMENT, like others have said we would like to keep up with Fantasia’s appearances, concerts and new music. Will there be a website or fanclub set up for her soon?

    @Blaise I think you misunderstood Derek’s question/comment. They were making a suggestion of a BETTER way to clear up the negative rumors about her which is a great suggestion. I agree with Derek she deserves the best. She works her b*** off.

  86. Blaise December 12, 2009

    I don’t think it will do any good . She has already told the truth about her home.Wendy Williams lying behind still got on national tv and said Simon Cowell gave her money, when Fantasia has point blank said in more than one interview he didn’t.The house was never in foreclosurebut= the net stilll saying it was, she gave interviews and even did article in Jet to speak the truth, the T.J Holmes interview spoke of her tumors.What else can she say and everytime she says something the blogs run with it like most people and twist the truth.WATCH THE, SHOW I think we all are going to learn something.She does not owe her REAL fans any explanation its the ones who do not know her that need to sit back and pay atention and for once quit speaking and believing is that is not true.HELL we all know she been working her b*** off and their are ways on this net to know what she is doing.
    I think she should keep it moving and don’t say another word.Word up!!!!

  87. Hoodboy December 12, 2009

    Fantasia, You don’t have to say shyt.You all not asking no one else to say shyt. KC pregnant and your messy behinds gave Jhud a pass. The girl has not done shyt to explain.Hell a man who was and is separated from his wife had interest in her the jealous withches in NC went to the net and Star and told lies and even threaten the girl.The witches friends act like they want tthe man.She is NOT with anyone now and that’s all your nosy assessss need to know. Leave this girl alone she works hard and the only thing she needs is your positive support and if you can’t do that then STFU this is getting real old.,…EXPLAIN WHAT!!!! She will be explaining shyt for the rest of her life because you are the ILLITERATE ONES. I quarantee you most of you don not know where she is perfforming next week.Get a live.
    LEAVE THIS GIRL ALONE!!!!!

  88. Hoodboy December 12, 2009

    Let me add this this morning they on the net talking about the Smith kid jacking hairdo by Rhihanna, when Fantasia wore her hair like that shaved to one side platinum and black you all f***** with her.There is a double standard.
    She is not on drugs she has not hurt anyon.She deserves the praise and respect you give others.She just not high yellow and white.Yes, I want her to do an interview and tell all her haters to KISS her you know what.
    Yea, she has gotten her high school diploma and you all ttalked about that if that had been one of these half white looking witches then you would be praising them.
    Yes, I said it and its ALL true.Someone needs to say it and until you broke witches stop bootlegging her music..
    the n she owes you a explanation, you not spending your money to support her then you don’t mean nothing then
    That’s the real…and I am only speaking to her haters coming over hear reading and some even commenting.

  89. Princess December 12, 2009

    Fantasia, My question is about your younger brother.I heard that he plays drums, guitar,piano and sings.Is this true? Will he be on show.My friend went to sschool with him in Charlotte says he is military schol now, is this true.My friend said he is very very talented she says he has many gifts.
    She says his name is Xavier.
    Do you think you and your family will ever have a primetime special?
    Its been a while since a young black family so gifted since the Jacksons.
    Can your daughter sing, will you let her get in the business if she does?
    I have more questions, I will wait for the show.

  90. ANN DAVIS December 12, 2009

    @RENEE
    JUST IN FROM TASIAWORLD ON TWITTER. BET CENTRIC CHANNEL IN DEPTH INTERVIEW WITH FANTASIA IN LEADING LADIES ON DEC 14TH. HER MOTHER ALSO WILL BE SPEAKING SAYS ITS VERY EMOTIONAL.
    SHE IS BRINGING TO HER PEOPLE.
    CHECK IT OUT.
    (She must have taped this when she taped her upcoming perfromance with her Mom on celebration of gospel on BET.)

  91. Lavanne December 12, 2009

    Fantasia is it true that Jennifer Hudsons publicist thinks you are to black for her association now? .My friend told me behind the scenes you talk but,in public they never want her to photograph with you because it may offend her white fans?
    He said Clive wants you geared towards the black audience and her towards white people?
    If so how can this be? Music is so universal and you are so versatile.
    I see you as one of the best if not the best young live singers and performers today.
    In your new concert sets will there be dress changes and high stle fashion, like back in the day, I don’t mean the tights and leotards, but Aretha,Diana always wore beautiful gowns.
    oh, by the way forget the bloggers, your style is so on point now I look forward to always seeing what you are going to wear and what your hair is going to look like.
    I hope a hair mag features you on cover soon.
    The Rhihanna cut you did first with the platinum and I loved it!!!!

  92. Bruce December 12, 2009

    My only question is why do you take peoples shyt?
    You management needs to stand strong and not play with these folks singing is what you were placed here to do and they should make sure you do.You have the talent and the skills to go to the masses.Stop limiting yourself and forget what these white folks thinks, you can outshine theri best.Girl you got skills don’t let no one play you not even Oprah.
    P.S.I listened to Daydream today and Mary Had a Little Lamb on youtube though you were just kicking it, that’s what I am gtalking about grownfolks ish.Raw talent.

    When the live cd/dvd coming.
    Christmas cd next year? Girl you already got the music in you!!!
    Gospel cd?

  93. B B December 12, 2009

    At the comments.LOL All true.
    You just stand there and flatfooted perform and sing your heart out.
    BRING IT!!!!!SHOW THEM WHAT YOU REALLY WORKING WITH!!!!!!

    My question, do you hear from anyone from Idol, will you perform this year?
    I know Simon ain’t gave you shyt or no one else from Idol.(tha t goes for both Simons)They would have managed you better.

    CONGRATULATION ON THE BILLBOARD DECADE LIST WISU#8 YOU GO MAMA AND YOU JUST BEGINNING.

  94. NYC December 12, 2009

    Fantasia, are you and Angelof concreteloop from the same home state?
    You did an interview once on her site and her people were very negative(in fact I was appalled when I saw how she looked.)
    Does she speak with you? Did she attend any of your Color Purple performances?
    It would be nice if you two supported each other like SR does he r peeps from Atlanta, lack flks need to learn to stick to gether.
    I think the reality show is a good thing for you and your family you all seem so gifted.
    VH1 is owned by viacom smart move they also own BET.LOL You no fool.
    Even if it is cable any tv exposure is bettter than none.LOL.You are far from dumb.
    Oh, heard Ricco on Angie Stone…his standing behind you has paid off it is foff the chain, his vocals are so strong.
    Will you be collaberating with him in the future?
    Our new family, yes!!!!

  95. BLACKBEAUTYANDDIVA December 12, 2009

    FANTASIA I ADORE YOU…EVER SINCE AI WHEN YOU WOWED THE CROWED WITH YOUR VERSION OF “THINK”

    MY QUESTION FANTASIA IS HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK YOU FOR A CONCERT BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE YOU IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA ONE DAY?????

    I WILL BE FLYING TO L.A TO SEE YOU IN THE COLOR PURPLE….

    I CANT WAIT……

    ONE MORE QUESTION……WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU WILL BLOW A HOLE IN THESE SINGERS TODAY…..WHY DO YOU SING WAY BETTER THAN BEYONCE, KERI HILSON, KEYSHIA COLE, RIHANNA, CASSIDY, ALICIA KEYS AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER PERFORMERS BUT YOU GETS NO MAINSTREAM ATTENTION?

  96. BLACKBEAUTYANDDIVA December 12, 2009

    OH AND ANOTHER THING FANTASIA MY NAME ON M** IS BLACKBEAUTYANDDIVA AND I KNOW THAT M** LOVES TO BASH YOU FOR NOTHING…..ONCE MY AVITAR (PICTURE) GETS APPROVES THEY WILL SEE A VERY BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF YOU FROM THE UPSCALE PHOTOSHOOT WHICH WILL BE MY MAIN PHOTO…..THEN AT THE BOTTOM I GOT “FANTASIA IS IN THIS DEC.09 ISSUE OF UPSCALE MAGAZINE” THEY NEVER SHOW YOUR BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY AND YOUR HOT NEW LOOK.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW FANNIE THAT YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT MY GRANDMOTHER IN PUETO RICO USED TO SAY ””YOU HAVE TEARS IN YOUR VOICE”””””” WHEN THEY BROUGHT HER ANCESTORS FROM AFRICA TO PUERTO RICO…. BLACK PUERTO RICANS WOULD SHOW SOLIDARITY BY SINGING HEART WRENCHING SONGFUL SONGS WITH SO MUCH EMOTION THAT THEIR WOULDN’T BE A DRY EYE AROUND…MY DAY WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT YOUTUBING ONE OF YOUR PERFORMANCES AT YOUR OWN CONCERTS OR PERFORMING FOR A SPECIAL EVENT….TAKE CARE

  98. NikkiD December 12, 2009

    Fantasia yo real fans have your back but we need some help. Your fans would like to know more on-time updates about your concerts, music and appearances. Are there plans to set up or update a website for you or start a fan club?

    It would be nice if you could do an interview on TV like 20/20 or an interview with Oprah addressing ALL rumors old and new before or right after your next album drops clearing the air just “free yourself.” Will you get your new management to make this happen?

  99. VSlim24 December 12, 2009

    Hello Fantasia, I am a huge fan of your work. First, let me congratulate on your placement in the Billboard End of the Decade charts. I have two questions:

    1. Will you have any collaborations on the new CD?

    2. Will you be touring to promote the new CD?

  100. AD December 12, 2009

    @ BLACKBEAUTYDIVA Girl you better say it…and its so true you do have her back sometimes on m** you have me lmao at your comments, and on youtube.I love it when you show up and what is this mess that Jennifers people think Tasia is too black for her. Somebody else posted this on youtube at the Jenifer & Fantasia performance.
    I am so glad Fantasia keeps it real yes, she is OUR American Idol, like Monigue says “my people”. I sure hope she Monigue has her on for the entire hour.Just her and Tasia.
    Later.

  101. Sanya December 12, 2009

    I am so ready for new Tasia music. Is your brother Ricco producing any tracks on the new CD? Will have any rap cameos (I hope not)? Who is your main producer?

  102. Lashun December 12, 2009

    Hello Fantasia, you did a great job at BET Celebration of Gospel. I can’t wait to see the show when it airs in January. Will you have a gospel song on the new CD?

  103. Manny December 13, 2009

    @sanya You are a day late and a dollar short with Ricco.He is really doing his own thing along with Tasia.
    Check out Angie Stones new cd track 3 Ricco.Powerful vocals.
    Pay attention to this family, while you all were flapping your gums about Tasia she been just working her plan.The girl is a lot fiercer than you know cause she is so humble and laid back people got her twisted.fosho.

  104. Encouraging words for Fantasia December 13, 2009

    Fantasia I am an older woman and I have been watching your career and support your endeavors saw you twice in NY on Broadway.I thought it was great how during the strike in the cold my friends son who is a handler on Broadway said you stood outside with the cast and had church praising the Lord.He said the young children from the cast were out there too.
    I want to say to all the young people, I listen and see the things you say about Fantasia, some say she is not successful as others, some even have the audacity to call her ghetto, because she is true to herself and does not try to put on airs, white folks think she is “too balck”, they hate our blackness for some reason.You all have criticized her for not denying her child and for telling you the truth about where she came from (not a really bad place they were just poor, no drugs, no jail.Just poor people.
    But one day this young lady stepped out in faith and her brother and family took their meager ends and saw too it that she got to Atlanta, there was divine intervention by no one but God when she got their.and the vultures came out all over the internet, in fact my daughter and I voted for her more at that time and even Idol themselves wanted her to wal k away.She didn’t she won.She went on to do extremely well.She was cast in the play in New Yourk and many of you made fun of her and when she excelled at that, you started vicious rumors.
    Well,her success is not any Oscar,and though she has been nominated for many Grammys(not winning yet is not due to lack of talent) but bigotry and double standards.
    Her success and legacy is far greater, this yong lady has single-dhandedly bought and paid for her Grandmothers (family church) purchased and maintains 3 homes.Owns 2 recording studios and other vested interest and all the while bringing her family along.When I see she and her Mom perform on Bobby Jones gospel it brings tears to my eyes because I have a feeling that the joy inside of her far exceeds any award any man could give her to help and see her Mom live her dream.She is one of the most unselfish young women I have ever met and her giving to others and wanting to be a blessing to her home state is just uncanny.
    This reality show is not about Fantasia believe that it is the beginning of many other doors opening up and in the process bringing as many people along with her and helping them to succeed.
    You all may not know this and you don’t Fantasia has the heart of Oprah when it comes to giving. The lies on the internet have caused you all the be overshadowed by the truth, but I pray the when this show airs that THE REAL FANTASIA will stand tall and take her rightful place, the haters may never leave but those of us who saw a gift form God willl stand proud alongsid she and her family and continue to say God Bless.
    She is what American Idol should epitomize and any reality show…who knew when she asked her brother for a ride to Atlanta that all their lives would change in such a phenomenal way and its all because she dared to “BELIEVE”.
    I am sooooooo very proud of you Fantasia.
    God bless you baby, and thanks for all you do for the state of NC.
    To you and your family much continued success.
    NC we have to get behind our girl with full support because she is for us.
    Stop all the gossiping too….most young people who do well move away to New York, LA but not Fantasia she is homegrown and not ahsamed.

  105. Encouraging words for Fantasia December 13, 2009

    Please forgive my typos and I apologize for saying so much.
    Oh and Fantasia I will be watching for the Leading Ladies broadcast on BET/CENTRIC.
    I so look forward to your Mom speaking I wish she would write a book. I know she has a story to tell with all these gifted children.
    Waiting for your celebration of gospel perfromance as well.
    I pray as the young folks say you REALLY bring it on this cd,they say the third one is the charm.
    Do you hear from Oprah? Your heart for giving to others is so much like hers????? Does she know that ????

  106. FYI December 13, 2009

    This is for those of you who have been questioning about facebook or twitter.The facebook pages posted are NOT personal accounts of Fantasia.
    Fantasia can no longer and does no longer use the name Barrino. So anything posted are fan pages and are not Fantasia’s.Legally she is Fantasia not Fantasia Barrino.
    I feel confident she will keep her fans posted with new web site etc and promo for upcoming album.
    In the meantime please fre to go to Tasiaworld on twitter…and that fan page keeps everything she is doing updated, so you can know when and where she is performing now.I am quit sure she will answer this question cause s he LOVES her fans.

  107. MauriD December 13, 2009

    Fantasia what other business ventures do you have or are working on outside of music, acting and your upcoming TV show?

    How did the idea of doing a reality show come about for you?

    What kind of promotion do you have or are working on getting lined up for your new album?

    Would you say your 3rd album is more like Free Yourself or the “Fantasia” Album?

    Will your reality show address any rumors thats been said past or present?

  108. Butch December 13, 2009

    Hey, Fantasia. Ricco my boy. Girl I am reading these comments and questions and LMAO.
    Most of these people really don’t know you. Girl I like your swagger, you just been working and sitting back laughing ,I know how comical you and your brothers are I know you all been sitting back laughing at some this stuff.
    Hey and if anyone has to ask you about a rumor then it must be a rumor.LOL
    Hey everyone writing please make sure you watch the show, now pay attention.okay!!!!
    I mean people out here really don’t know one real thing about you.
    Appropriate title for the sho Fantasia For Real, cause they been listening to Fantasia For Wrong.LOL
    Oh,let me add the show is a very wise move for you because I think for the most part people got stuck in your movie, you and your family have most def moved on mentally, socially and financially, but they haven’t with you.So the show will help.
    I heard about movie you are writing and other shows you shopping.Do you girl, we ain’t mad at you.
    That’s right . what Xavier say “THE QWEEN OWNZ IT!!!!

    I would like to know when she is coming to the Bay Area??? I am ready to go to my first concert and want it to be Fantasias show….

  120. LTLladysigma December 18, 2009

    I absolutely love Fantasia. I am happy to hear that she is pursuing her GED and even happier to hear that she would like to obtain a Bachelors. However, I am curious (my question) why have you made it publicly known you would like to become a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.? That is something one is to be discreet about.

    Anyway, saw you in the Color Purple at the Fox Theatre in Atl, Ga. and it was awesome! I see people complaining about you “hollering”. That is your musical growl and it’s a signature for you. I love it! I’m wondering do these same people ask their pastors/ministers not to “huh” during their sermons.

    Ladysigma (yes, I am a SGRho)
    Your # 2 Fan
    (not everyone can be your # 1/biggest fan… lol)

  121. LOL December 18, 2009

    Fantasia has here GED, it will air on show.She keeps hermouth closed about thing.These episodes have already been taped that why she says in interviews people will see me getting it, they are taping new episodes now. But the first 8 and outtakes are done!!!! LOL
    Tasia is a high school graudate!!!!l

  122. LOL December 18, 2009

    I did not want to say anything . I get so tired of people saying she is getting her diploma.I wanted to wait for the show to airbut another blog put up in the same text as Rhianna who says school is not cool.Tasia does not feel that way and has her diploma and it will air on her show.

  123. Anita D December 18, 2009

    Hi Fantasia!

    My question is do you plan to change your set this decade because I’ve seen you a few times and have heard some of the same songs in concert?

    Will you be changing you old school concert song set?

    Will you please add the song Daydreaming by Aretha back to your concert set?

    I LOVE to hear you sang Purple Rain.

  124. shaquita December 18, 2009

    hello fantasia. i lovee u so much. i was jus wondering would it be to much to ask u to go out wit me for a girls day jus me and u a day on the town.

  125. Lynn December 18, 2009

    My question:

    1. I believe Fantasia stated in an interview that she would do a gospel album with her family. So, Fantasia, will you ever do a solo gospel album? If so, would it be like Yolanda Adams’ “Songs from my Heart” album (which only contained her arrangements of hymns)? That would be great!

    @LOL, why would that bother you b/c people are stating she is pursuing her GED? You act as if they are spreading gossip. On behalf of those people, excuse them for not knowing every single detail about her life. If she has received it already, good for her. And we will see that on her documentary show.

    Lynn

  126. LOL December 19, 2009

    CAN YOU READ?????? SHE HAS HER GED!!!!! WHY YOU ALL LIKE TO DWELL ON THE PAST NEVER THE NOW, OR THE FUTURE!!!
    TASIA’S NOW SHE HAS HER GED IS OFFICIALLY A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE,PLEASE SPREAD THAT TRUTH THROUGHOUT THE NET!!!! WATCH THE SHOW TO SEE IF I AM LYING!!!!!

  127. LOL December 19, 2009

    …AND WOULDN’T ANYONES COMMON SENSE TELL THEM IF NEW ALBUM IS COMING LIVE SONG SETS ARE GOING TO CONSIST OF WHAT..NEW MATERIAL….DON’T YOU THINK?????THE INTERNET HAS YOU THINKING FANTASIA IS TRULY ILLITERATE.
    DID ANYONE ON THIS BLOG SEE CENTRIC/BET LEADING WOMEN BROADCAST MONDAY NITE…YOU WOULD HAVE LEARNED A WHOLE LOT IF YOU HAD ABOUT TASIA AND HER FAMILY I HOPE IT RE-AIRS!!!!!

  128. RE:FANTASIA’S NEW BLOG December 19, 2009

    HEY ALL TASIANS VH1 HAS HER NEW BLOG UP GO TO FANTASIA FOR REAL VH1 HER BLOG, THERE IS A MESSAGE BOARD THERE AS WELL MEET THE FAMILY!!!! ENJOY!!!!

  129. annette December 20, 2009

    @LOL. If Tasia didn’t want anyone to know about the GED until they watched the show, why did you tell it? You just blew it. Let the people watch the show and find out what is happening. We don’t need you telling everything before it airs.

  130. Lady Libra December 21, 2009

    Hey Fantasia

    I feel your last album was sooo good and would have done better if promoted right. What are you doing this time around different to promote your 3rd album?

    Will you be doing any televised concert shows like MTV Unplugged, VH1 Soulstage or any others?

    Will you be returning back to American Idol next year to perform since you’ll have new music?

    Will you be going on any shows like The View, Regis&Kelly or Ellen to promote your show and album?

    How is your relationship with Oprah? Is your management working to get you on her show next year?

    The internet is one of the best promotion tools. Will you be getting your website updated or a new one so people will know updates on your appearances, concerts and new music?

    Pleeeeeeeeeeease start a fan club? Will you be getting one soon?

  131. Aprele buggs December 22, 2009

  132. RE:FANTASIA’S TRAILER December 22, 2009

    Check out the trailer on youtube of Fantasia Barrino Reality Show. Just like when she did the play on Broadway which many off you young people did not see because you don’t do Broadway because of the Pop culture you live in..

    @Lady Libra
    Fantasia did not prote that album and it still went GOLD she was doing the play on Broadway at her label and Clives approval and pemission in fact Clive was the one who went with her for her first showing of the play.

    No promotion and still gold not too bad and WISU made Billboards # 8 song of the decade.

    I hope MOST of you watch this show and you will get to KNOW the REAL FANTASIA!!!!

    Be sure to check the clip out on you tube.

  133. RE:FANTASIA’S TRAILER December 22, 2009

    How do you stay strong, when you have so much hate and negativity out here?

    Does your Mom do a lot of praying for you.
    Do you ever feel like quitting? (don’t answer that).

    DON”T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT QUITTING<THAT"S WHAT THE HATERS ARE HOPING FOR!!!!!

    My husband and I will be watching your show. Front row and center every broadcast as well as taping.I saw pic on vh1 of your Mom holdin g bible.A good look for reality tv.

  136. WHY SO MCH HATE? December 25, 2009

    I forgot to add these young people don’t fear God.They just say anything. about people they do not know . Your mom evidently does not read these blogs does she? I know she would be hurt by the things they say.
    By the way why does SR , B***** Perz Hilton,M** hate your guts and want you to, fail, they still telling people you can’t read.Maybe you should do a billboard saying you can read, and I hope they can read that themselves.LOL
    I pray for your success in ALL you do and as we christians say I speak Divine Supernatural Favor over your life and ALL that the devil has meant for evil will be turned around for your good and that the Lord himself would shut the lions mouth.
    Have a wonderful life we will be buying you new cd.
    I pray your show is a big hit like your lifetime show, like your book, the color purple and your successes in music!!!! I pray everything that you put your hands to prospers.I pray that the Lord would richly bless all your efforts and that all your enemies would be your footstool.In Jesus Name

    I DECLARE THIS OVER FANTASIA AND HER FAMILY,,,,,I had not planned on saying this came out of my spirit as I was writing.

    (Ps I know the people hating you don’t belive in His name or His word, but we do an d that is all that matters) and because we believe we have what we say!!!

    THE DEVIL IS A LIAR (Jesus said it and I agree.)
