Following her recent suicide attempt, R&B star Fantasia resurfaced this week in her home-town Charlotte, North Carolina. According to our good friends over at Sound-Savy, the 25 year old was a surprise performer at the city’s annual Big Chill event last night (August 20th).
After being welcome with raptous applause, the American Idol alum said:
“I been in the house for a week so you know I’m bout to act ugly… When they said it was over for me, I’m here to say I’m back!”
She then launched into an emotionally-charged rendition of current single ‘Bittersweet’ – which you can watch below…
Ms. Barrino was testifying! Gotta love the sincerity in her performances.
‘Back to Me’, Fantasia’s third studio album, hits stores next Tuesday (August 24th).

Hollywood can’t deal with the truth. Fanny has a truthful image and people would rather live in make-believe. It’s takes a real woman to show her flaws in an industry that is full of make-believe perfection. Fanny admitted that she did not graduate from H.S., and everybody pounced on her. But, Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, Chris Rock, Mary J., didn’t graduate either, and the public didn’t pounce on them.
I would forever support Fantasia, because she says, “Look at me. Here I am for the world to see.”
Keep your shoes on Fanny. – Luv Diane.
at least she is letting him “GO”……………… i will support her
Hey GODDESS OF TRUTH, Fantasia still alive and her album bout to blow up. You mad? haha
I need her album now .
“S****** attempt” or publicity stunt?
@ILOVEXTINA,
It was not a publicity stunt. Maybe you don’t know how a strong person reacts to a crisis. References: Kanye West and Jennifer Hudson. Kanye stayed on tour and Jennifer Hudson met her upcoming appearances.
This woman has GREAT talent! Go Fanny!!!!!!!
that is all
album leaked on im1music.net, still going out to get my two copies of the album regardless, I love fantasia she has raw talent and has an amazing voice, Back To Me is to date her best album you can play it from start to finish lol, I believe no I know she will get her grammy(s) next year
@DIANE it wasn’t even a s****** attempt, she was just trying to get some sleep. Trent exaggerated
damn i love this girl she can sang her ass off , an Diane i tatally agree with u
Fanny has a good strong voice and I love hearing her sing. Yessss!
fantasia album is gon be off the chain
I’M SURPRISED AT FANTASIA’S IMPROVEMENT IN LIVE PERFORMANCES. SHE DID WAY BETTER IN WALMART SOUNDCHECK. BROADWAY HELPED! SEE MORE LIVE FANTASIA HERE.

i lost respect for this talented woman
Uhmm Diane, jennifer hudson took about 2-3 months off. Don’t remember how much time Kanye took off. But what i’m trying to say is. You can’t compare what they went through to Fantasia’s situation, because both were/are far worse than what Fantasia is dealing with right now. Also neither one of them took a bottle of aspirin, to get attention and sympathy from the media. If she was’nt involved with a married man, she would not be in the situation she is in today.
Forgot to mention . I can’t take her running around on stage like a s****. It annoys me lol
@LEA. Your words sound really stupid. Fantasia has been through a lot and she is not perfect. She has flaws (we all do). She is a very strong woman. She keeps getting up every time and that’s what matter. She looks beautiful on stage. Can’t wait until Aug. 24th
I Love the hair, that 90’s T-Boz look just in black… dope!!!
We all have our ups and downs in life. Pray for her and her family. Wish her the best and the song is the dope! God Bless to everyone that is reading these messages.
fantasia is ugly but she can sing her tail off and she’s making money.
