Love her! When people talk about the most talented performers in the R&B arena among her peer group, familiar names like Beyoncé and Usher often come up. However, I think Fanny is right up there with them even though she never really enjoyed the major commercial success the former two have. It's one thing to kill performances of your own song, but the ability to take one by another artist and take absolute ownership of it requires some serious interpretive skills. She has that in spades in my opinion. This list is great but for me, no list of best performances by Fantasia is complete without her rendition of 'Summertime' on American Idol. That was such a star-making performance and I still get chills watching it 15 years later.
