Hungry? Well if you are then Fantasia has exactly what you need. The full-figured songstress hit the stage on ‘American Idol’ where she performed ‘Collard Greens & Cornbread’ from her critically acclaimed ‘Back To Me’ album.
See Fantasia in action below:
A few mangled belts aside, that was a brilliant showing from the former ‘Idol’ champion. When it comes to putting on a good show there a few who manage to keep an audience engaged quite like Fantasia.
Sidebar: I will not comment about her new look. No I won’t.

I’m not a fan of hers much (I’m not a hater, the title just caught my eye). Ummm She has a song called collard greens and cornbread? Girl….
Aside from that, she sounded pretty nice, forgot just how distinct her voice is.
And LOL at no comment on how she looks…Lets not even…Thats for another night…

Some of ya’ll are really simply stupid! First of all, probably the reason Fantasia did not sing the Grammy winner “Bittersweet” is because she has already preformed that song
on AI. Fastasia has gainned weight due to a movie role, she had to gain 40 lbs.
Lastly, I agree with Simon Cowell. Fantasia is the most “talented” person, so far, to have
hit the Idol’s stage.
She has a beautiful dark skinned complexsion and sexy full lips.
Patti Labelle explains it better, but be mindful, that those who calls Fantasia ugly are people who probably think dark skin and full lips are not attractive.
Fantasia gave a wonderful performance. I think she’s an attractive young woman and that
doesn’t mean that I like all of her hairstyles or outfits. I love her entire CD.
All of ya’ll dark-skinned, full-lips beauties out there, know that you are beautiful !

She’s wearing a sparkly red dress slit all the way up to the waist, and her hair’s practically blonde, with one big curl in the front — sort of a nuevo Etta James look, one that fits the old-school soul sound of the single. It’s one of my favorite songs from Back to Me, and she sings the fire out of it….

It looks like JRecords and Fantasia accomplished their goal of getting the people back talking about Fantasia and her album. Her album soared back to Top 10 on iTunes and the song hasnt even been sent to radio. It will be sent on April 11th.
Whether you dislike the song or love it, the point is YOU”RE TALKING ABOUT IT. Thats what music should be, a discussion about the lyrical content and overall feeling. Fantasia, people can talk crap about you all day, but it only shows that you have a special place in everyone’s heart because its your name that is rolling off their tounge.
I am glad JRecords gave you a 3rd single because after a Grammy win you deserved it. This song will definantly go Top 10 on R&B. Mark my Words..

I can’t see the performace (i’m at work & it’s blocked until i get home to see it) but you people are soooooooooo fucking crazy & don’t know a true singer or talent if it slapped you across your dome. Fanny is the truth she’s everything that a lot of artist needs to be right now & the whole package. I’m so tired of people praising Beyawnce & Rih Rih like their some Goddess. The only reason why people ride their Bra Straps is because they’ve been in the game a little longer & has all this fame & endorsements. But when you look at the big pic of who has the voice IMO fanny has the R&B SOUL voice who can pull off many genres of music. I’d like to hear Beywance or the Strangled Goat sing a song like this & put feeling & soul into it. YEAH RIGHT! Fanny do you MA because no one can touch you!

Fantasia at last performed like the star she showed she could be on American Idol. Once they got hold of her in the studio for her first albums they tried to make her like everyone else. She reminded me of a young Aretha Franklin with some Shirley Ceasar mixed in. The song is a perfect format for her to show her strengths and individuality. Although I’m a southern white boy who loves collard greens and cornbread I wish that phrase was different – don’t know what – but it was sort of silly – but she made it not seem so. She looked dynamic, royal, classic like all great divas do. But I do hope she loses the weight just for health reasons. She’s hot now, but she was really hot when she was slimmer too.
