A lot of people feel like black artists should only do R&B Hip Hop and not branch out and explore other genres of music. The industry just want to keep black/urban artists in a box. One of my favorite artists is James Brown. I love James Brown because he wasn't afraid to take risks and experiment. James Brown was one of those artists who always reinvented himself. He never did the same thing. When it looked like his career was declining, he always knew what to do to get it back on top. I think Fantasia has potential to be the female James Brown as long as she keeps reinventing herself and taking risks despite what people say.
