R&B star Fantasia Barrino opened up WWE’s Wrestlemania 26 with a special performance of ‘America The Beautiful’. Check out her performance from the event, which itself is taking place right now at Arizona’s University of Phoenix Stadium, above…{performance starts at the 0.52second mark}
A little over-sung in places, however a powerful rendition all the same. As ever, Fantasia delivered!
Randomness: I’m a big WWE fan! HBK v Undertaker is going to be a classic…I can feel it (Michaels for the win)!

i thought she did great… And SAM who the hell are u??… A voice coach, a music critic. I mean damn.. Stop throwing somuch shade.. Fanatasia went to “CHURCH” on this performance.
LMAO PERFORMING AT WRESTLEMANIA
Btw Samantha, here in Portugal WWE is only popular with kids that are 7 – 13 years old, I bet you jerk off while watching the almost naked “fighters” “fighting”
(everyone knows that is all made up)
NOT BAD. GOOD OVERALL PERFORMANCE. AGREE WITH THE OVER SINGING. TONE DOWN ON THE WAILING GOSPEL BELTS AND IT WUD BE BETTER.
CLOSE YOUR EYES. IT’S LIZA MINELLI!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA.
“A little over-sung in places”
That’s the main reason I don’t like Fantasia that much.
She just always seems too extra.
I like runs and diva-ness but Fantasia takes it overboard.
Lord so this is what her poor career has come down to? Singing @ Wrestlemania? She sounded great but what’s going on with her career? Any new albums, singles??
Ummmm wrestlemania is one of the biggest events of the year. I wouldn’t worry about her career.
I agree with Sam some parts were oversung but overall it was good. She’s a soulful sanger so I don’t expect much less from her especially on a heart-felt song like this.
Why is it a problem when Fantasia sings at Wrestlemania but its alright for Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin & John Legend 😕
If singing at Wrestlemania didn’t mean the end of the careers of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, or John Lengend or any of the other country, rock or Pop singers that have performed America the Beautiful in the damn near 30 years of Wrestlemania, I am pretty sure Fantasia is not worried about what it will mean for her career.
She did sound a little bit hoarse in the middle of the songs but other than that I though it was pretty good. Kinda extra churchy but she does that with everything
I think Fantasia could have being as big as the other famous american idols..but she choose the hoodrat path and thats what f***** up her career.
I love her voice, she needs to get a fresh makeover..
people talking bout how shes scream when she sings, please, yall the same one on here who think good music is singing bout being hard or how big ur d*** is. or partying with diddy. man please….
I loved it… Can’t nobody make u feel the lyrics to the song like fantasia. And she looks cute. After the reality show and hearing even angels and now hearing this I am now a new fan of fantasia
Great performance from Fantasia as always i’ve never seen a performance that wasnt good or didnt have to crowd roaring at the end keep up the good work and god will handle the rest
**Luv u Fantasia**
I think she did ok. She sounded better at the baseball games she sung on. Side note: Shawn vs. Undertaker was great, but upset Shawn is now retired.
Fantasia did awesome!!! never fails me vocally. She has such a distinct sound,which in turn will make her stand out. shes no cookie cutter singer. She looked together here, SHE LOOKED PRETTY AND SIMPLE NOT BANJI OR GHETTO. I LOVED THIS VERY SOFT LOOK FOR HER
I WAS THERE AND SHE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB……
Lmao@RATED X, sooo true!
-tasia did great that was the best version of that song ever, everyone sings it alike but FANTASIA brought fire!!!!! they say she over sung it , but everyone is comparing her version the normal and boring version , trust superbowl she will be singing next year
THE STREAK LIVES….18-0. Always bet on the Undertaker!!!!
@Rated X
Hahaha! True dat…
Anyways, she did wonderful as I knew she would..
flopantasia will perform anywhere as long as shes being given enough to pay the gas and electric bills shes happy………… desperate old FLOP
She is hardly old, she’s 25 and stop the name calling. I really don’t consider her a flop at all. She has put of two albums one went gold and received 3 grammy nominations the other went nearly double platinum and received 4 grammy nominations. I just think people are hard on her because she refuses to change who she is. She can have a consistent career being who she is and STOP the name calling.
Other idols who used to be HUGE aren’t anymore like Kelly Clarkson because she stopped caring about her appearance. I have no idea how she’s given a pass when her last two albums never sold platinum and she received 1 grammy nomination between the two. She was only successful when she sold out, got skinny and sang throw-a-way pop. Don’t hate on Fantasia for never having given a damn, for a person who really doesn’t care, she’s been quite successful.
The only idol who looks good now is Carrie Underwood. The rest have lost themselves. Tho Carrie is engaged to a loser hockey playa. Once the cash and sports career dries up betcha there will be a divorce! Never fails with sports playas. Only a handful of successful sports playas remain successful after their sports careers are over. Majic Johnson is one of very few!
@Google233
Thank You!
She did great and due to the fact she just performed in LA, the night before, she may have been a little tired.But she did it her way. As far as her career being over she is just 25 yrs of age.She was born to perform and this is what she is going to do…she is going to shut your hating assess up.
by the way, she is booked….until whenever….they onyly post for the month of march and she is going to see quite a bit of h er in April…right before the album is released…she is not playing she is BACK!!!! with a vengeance !!!!
..and we she is not singing you better know she is going to be doing some acting!!!! Lies you tell it’s not over for Fantasia!!!!
…the only thing Fantsia does not give a damn about is a bunch of negative asss people…she cares immensely about her music and career which she purs her heart in…it’s alll for her daughter!! whom she will give the world for!!!
@Sam
sam U rock. I can’t believe that youre a WWE fan.
I’m a huge wwe fan …..but everyone knew that undertaker was going to win it(because of hbk’s eye problem)
@ya’ll
No one can ever sing America the beautiful as well as Nicole scherzinger (at wrestlemania 25)
I actually think she did a GREAT job…did you hear that mess Keri Hilson did last night in ATL. (she sounded like a damn fool) and had the nerve to compare her no sanging ass to Aretha Franklin) keri Hilson is smoking some crazy s*** if you ask me.Fantasia can sang her ass off the rest need to sit their no sanging asses down someplace.
You show “em Fantasia. good job, you did it your way, that’s what i like about you!!!
