New Song: Fantasia – ‘The Worst Part Is Over’

Published: Thursday 3rd Jun 2010 by Sam

A new Fantasia cut has surfaced in the form of ‘The Worst Part Is Over’. Set to feature on the American Idol alum’s forthcoming third album, the inspirational song was produced by Oak Fielder and penned by hitmaker Claude Kelly.

Interestingly enough I have had this song on replay for a while now after it landed anonymously in my mailbox a few months back. However, it’s not Fantasia’s version, it is another R&B diva who is a regular fixture on the site (won’t say no names). You see, there is a little  drama surrounding the song, and who it was supposed to be meant for. Scratch that….A LOT of drama. (Remember where you read this should the other version ever surface)

In any case, it appears as though Fantasia has it in the bag,which is a great look for the 25 year old, as the soaring ballad is a winner. Take a listen below…

Hit or Miss?

    Loving it! I love Fantasia voice. The way she goes in on songs I love seeing her live almost as much as I love seeing Beyonce live. Def my top 2 when it comes to performing and going in on songs! Great job Fantasia.

  7. Clos June 3, 2010

    Very Nice….I am sure “Brandy” version is just as good! I don’t know it is her but it sounds like a type of song she would record!

  8. really_iRv June 3, 2010

    @Danvofficial

    Will it flop like not myself tonight & woohoo?

  13. danny b June 3, 2010

    Strong likelihood that Brandy has recorded before because the writer of this song, Claude Kelly, also wrote “Camoflouge” for Brandy’s ‘Human’ album..

    Nonetheless, i absolutely ADORRRRRREEEE Fannys version!!!! I love ANYTHING she touches! By far one of my fav performers. First BEYONCE, then Whitney, Janet & FANNNNYYY

  14. jonstrax June 3, 2010

  16. Malachi June 3, 2010

    iGot a feeling its between

    Jennifer Hudson
    Brandy
    Kelly Rowland

    But Fantasia kills this song!

  17. Lashun June 3, 2010

    I like this. Claude Kelly is an incredible writer.

  18. mike June 3, 2010

    i so love this song good job tasia !

  19. Destiny June 3, 2010

    I ABSOLUTELY Love Fantasia. She does it on this song… I only wish that she would get more promotion for this album. I have a feeling that it won’t be ready for release in July because there is no promotion going on. Can we get a video J Records??!!!!!!!!!

  20. 0beloved June 3, 2010

    THAT MOUTH

  21. dat28 June 3, 2010

    It has to be KELLY ROWLAND!!! First of all, she’s a ThatGrapeJuice regular for sure. She also was just interviewed by Sam so I’m sure she gave him the exclusive. And Kelly is also close friends with Brandy so I’m sure Brandy recommended Claude Kelly and Kelly Rowland work together or maybe Brandy recorded the track first and then gave it to Kelly. Either way, it has to be Kelly. lol

  22. r June 3, 2010

    First.

    fantasia.. fantasia… fantasia.. this girl is way far far ahead of her classmates in the game.. fantasia is soo versitile. she can sing anything. I lOVE ALL the songs thatt has leaked from the possible upcomming album. I feel the passion in every song that she she sings. this song and “overload” really puts things into persepctive of where her life was and is now. the only thing

    Second,

    I want fantasia to do is to become more refined. I want to see her onpoint everytime i see her. exspecially with a show and a album about to come out. lets just take the last 3 weeks. she looked astunishing when she sung bittersweet on idol and then just this past weekend she looked messey in the BVI.. I just hope that she buys into IMAGE. She use to have a great image comming out of Idol back in 2004. The world bought into fantasia flaws and all. But 6 years later her image is worse than when she went to idol. She is getting older and What I want soooo bad for her to get to a point where her vocals are and can take her. In order to get Fantasia to the next level she will need a STYLIST, PUBLICIST AND A PERSONAL ASSISTANT. I love her soo much her talent is amazing. but if she wants to stay in the industry she will need to have THE ENTIRE PACKAGE. Im not dogging her I just want her to be the girl we fell inlove with and learn from aging, You cant be the same person you were 6 years ago. Thats all Im saying. Fantasia please get it right this time Its not too late

  23. eric c June 3, 2010

    Brandy hands down

  24. G.LaSalle June 3, 2010

    Fantasia killed this song. It’s on repeat already!

  25. shirleybw June 3, 2010

    Fantasia is amazing!

  26. JonathanGardnerTV June 3, 2010

    <3

    Should be the "official" single instead of the oh-so-boring-filler 'Bittersweet'

  27. Peter June 3, 2010

    Ugh… She should stay away from these faceless focus-group tested manufactured “hits”.

  28. MLUSHEZZ June 3, 2010

    definately Kelly Rowland!!!! can just hear her sprinto soprano criusing through.

  29. 0beloved June 3, 2010

    ITS BRANDY BECAUSE KELLY DOES ELECTRO POP NOW WHICH WORKS SO MUCH BETTER FOR HER.

    I CAN JUST HEAR BRANDY SINGING THIS SONG. IT ALREADY SOUNDS LIKE HER ON SOME PARTS.

  30. CANYOUSEEIT June 3, 2010

    Well done Fantasia well done. I love to hear you sing and like the others you can sing anything. Alsol I believe it’s Brandy also. Fantasia on the roll great job.

  31. annon June 3, 2010

    i think the other artist is kelly rowland

  32. brotha1461 June 3, 2010

    The artist is Toni Braxston!!!! would like to hear her take on this..

  33. Nikki June 3, 2010

    I don’t like the song. The chorus is too noisy and I have try hard to hear the words. I have heard waaaaaaaaaay beeeeeeeeetter from Fantasia. Some things is wrong with this song. The only part of the song I like is “The worst part is over”

  34. King26 June 3, 2010

    No Jeff…F*** u. You probably look like a toad anyway.

  35. King26 June 3, 2010

    And if Brandy recorded a version I’m sure it shits all over this 1….but fantasia is my girl and she killed it too.

  36. cw June 3, 2010

    definitely a hit!

  37. Rob June 3, 2010

    brandy got all the r&b chicks singing like her , (except beyonce)

  38. kev June 3, 2010

    @Rob you ain’t lying people have been borrowing Brocka style for a while now since she’s been laying low(Mary J- The One, Kelly Rowland – Flashback and now Fanny). This has Brandy written all over it( Toni Braxton somewhat too, if it’s a curve ball thrown in) but I’m sorry both of these artist would have done better than Fantasia.
    Don’t get it twisted, Fantasia sings her ass off, but the verses don’t fully work for her. It would be better interpreted by an artist with a quicker and relaxed and breezy way about them. Even Chris Brown would have made this more exciting. The only one that may not bring more to the table than Fantasia is Kelly, but Kelly is doing dance now! I don’t think this will be a hit for her, I wish she would just release the song she liked most (Move on – or something). Fanny knows how she’s suppose to sound!

  39. Jay June 3, 2010

    The first version of this song is by CBrown but its better for fantasia but cbrown fits the song better due to his problems……………………………

  40. Bwhine June 4, 2010

    This has BRANDY written all over it!…..im more than sure that its her

  41. Christina Supporter June 4, 2010

    LOL This woman is sooo freaking UGLY, whats up with the big nose and big lips??? Remind me of apes.

  42. WTF? June 4, 2010

    @Christina Supporter

    STFU with that racist sh*t, why the f*ck are you on this site with that? F*ck You!

  43. Waddie G. June 4, 2010

    My guess is Toni Braxton, Brandy, Kelly Rowland or Jennifer Hudson…the song fits them perfectly, but Fantasia sounds great on it too.

  44. GangsterA June 4, 2010

    I love it the woman is amazing i adore adore adore her

  45. rara June 4, 2010

    f*** this is the first song i love from her new cd. I like even angels, but i felt it was missing something.

  46. Debra June 5, 2010

    I don’t know who else sang this, but after hearing Fantasia sing this song like only she can I’d advise that other person to hope their version is never released. It’s just something about that damn Fantasia. She still around six years later, just think of everybody that has come and gone during that time.

  47. Kay Kay June 5, 2010

    I am feeling this one.

  48. Pat June 5, 2010

    This song is my new anthem.

  49. annette June 5, 2010

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But @Kev, there is no such thing as a “suppose to sound”. Is she to limit herself to a Move on Me sound because that is YOUR expectation of her? That allows no growth or change. No one should limit themselves to anyone’s expectations. You forget she also sung I’m Here , Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word and a very jazzy version of Summertime for Stevie Wonder. None of which sound like Move On Me. I like Brandy. But she does not “own” any particular sound. No one does.

  50. dob August 27, 2010

    Jennifer Hudson isn’t exactly a staple on this site, but I’d guess her over Brandy.
