?Actually you’re a HATER!! What Fantasia does is MAGIC & Ledisi also gives a soprano voice that many vocalist don’t have!!?
Who’s we? If you want to get rid of Fantasia that’s up to you but she will remain on all of music devices. Also, some of us are capable of likening more than one artist at a time.
Wow she’s a talent and the division of tones works for her surely!!?
