I am excited for her!! You naysayers said the the same thang about The Celie role she played in the The Color Purple,and she nailed it came out on top so there is no doubt in my mind she will blow us away with this Mahalia Jackson role! I am so honored to be a Fantasia fan right now. Haters beware it does'nt stop here there is more to come you cant stop her so shut up an sit down somewhere!!
