If she keep her shoes on then maybe she would get better invitations like Beyonce, JHud, etc. If she wants to take her shoes off during her live concerts, fine. Because its mostly the die-hard fans that are going to the concerts. But for television, where all the viewers are not her die-hard fans, it is totally, totally, unappealing. That's why she hasn't garnered any NEW fans. Fantasia's fan base numbers remains the same. She can't bring in new fans because of her barefoot, hollering-in-your-damn-face, performances. I love her music and will buy her CD in a New York minute, but her performances are just a little too much. She can keep doing what she's doing, but don't expect her to grow outside of her fan base.
