Grammy winning diva Fantasia Barrino is one of 15 prized champions from ‘American Idol’s storied decade-and-a-half long reign over the reality singing competition format.
The juggernaut show, which said goodbye to airwaves in 2016, was barely gone a year before reports began swirling of a reboot. Now that the reboot has been confirmed for a March 11, 2018 launch (with judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Luke Bryan onboard), some have begun taking to press to express their concern about just how successful a reprise of the series would be so soon given its significant ratings decline in its later years.
On a recent pit stop to Andy Cohen‘s ‘Watch What Happens Live’ (BRAVO), Barrino became one of those skeptics. Quizzed by a caller on her thoughts on the show’s swift return, Fannie weighed in on that hot topic, the new judges, and more.
Tuck in below to hear exactly what she said:
We love Fanny lol
Fanny’s I feel Beautiful is still on the playlist
I’m sorry but all we have far as singers in the black community for my generation is Fantasia, Beyonce, Alicia keys, Rihanna, Keyshia cole, K Michelle, Jasmine Sullivan. Ledesi, Jennifer Hudson, chrisette michelle,
