R&B force Fantasia has seen her ‘Back to Me Tour’ open to rave reviews in the US this week. The 30-city Stateside trek rolled into Baltimore’s Meyerhoff Symphony Hall yesterday, for what was said to be a rousing show.

Peep Ms. Barrino’s spine-tingling rendition of the Color Purple’s ‘I’m Here’ after the jump…

Christmas tree dress aside, that was an absolutely stunning showing! Running on pure passion, emotion, and raw talent, Fantasia delivered and then some. Amazing.

The industry at large really needs to treasure her, as they simply can’t “make” artists such as Fantasia. For she’s both blessed (with a special gift) and a blessing (in what she brings to an often mundane industry). More power to her.
