In reply to sueellen.

Why are you comparing her to artists old enough to be her grandmother? Fantasia does have R&B CLASSICS. "When I See You" is undeniably an R&B classic. That's her lane. She's done well in it.

Quiet as it's kept, Patti (whom she is often compared to) mostly has local R&B hits herself. Her biggest hit was "On My Own" with Michael MacDonald.
