Hungry? Well if you are then Fantasia has exactly what you need. The full-figured songstress hit the stage on ‘American Idol’ where she performed ‘Collard Greens & Cornbread’ from her critically acclaimed ‘Back To Me’ album.
See Fantasia in action below:
A few mangled belts aside, that was a brilliant showing from the former ‘Idol’ champion. When it comes to putting on a good show there a few who manage to keep an audience engaged quite like Fantasia.
Sidebar: I will not comment about her new look. No I won’t.

She was awesome & looked gorgeous.
I’m not a fan of hers much (I’m not a hater, the title just caught my eye). Ummm She has a song called collard greens and cornbread? Girl….
Aside from that, she sounded pretty nice, forgot just how distinct her voice is.
And LOL at no comment on how she looks…Lets not even…Thats for another night…
That’s a Fool!! LOL….
@TASIAN
I AGREE.
THAT BACK TO ME ALBUM IS SOLID. I JUST PRESS PLAY AND GO. NO THRILLS AND FILLS. NO TRICKS NO GIMMICKS NO ASS SHAKING. JUST RAW TALENT
i LOVE this song, but didn’t care for this song LIVE…..
Is her career still alive? Girl sit down.
aww i love fanny
i f*cking love FANNY! she looks good! she got her sh*t together, this is my jam! and she his my FAVORITE IDOL winner, aint another one of them holding the stage down like her! Her and Beyonce are two artists who sound BETTER LIVE. and her advise at the end was good or whatever
Ugh TGJ Needs To Stop Using This Pic For Fantasia!
It’s Halarious xD
#QueenBeyonce2011
she looks nice. i like her hair colour but i don’t know about how it’s styled and i really didn’t like that version of the song. The girl can sang though
@QUEEN BEYONCE STANN
IKR, Like there must be better promo pics of her for this Era!
TGJ does not play when it comes to posting live performances
THIS GIRL SLAYED THIS SONG GREAT JOB
album was great….but “falling in love tonight” is the beter singe choice imo
Sorry but I giggled when I saw this. She looks hilarious! I’m surprised she didn’t kick her shoes off and start running round like an emancipated s****.
JESUS LOOORD, THIS B**** IS SO UGLYYYY!!!
FANTASIA LOOKED NICE TO ME AND SUNG THE HELL OUTTA THAT SONG
@Who’s Cedric… LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!

JUST KNOW THAT SHE HAD THE CROWD ROCKING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LIKE HER AND I LOVE HER NICE SONG AND KNOW THAT SHE KILLED THAT S*** THE PEOPLE ALREADY SPOKE HER ENERGY WAS CRAZY SHE DID HER THING
She looks that way because she is preparing for her role as Mahalia Jackson!! That’s right Ms. Tasia make that payyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
For the person that stated her career was dead, UH NOT!!! She just ended her tour the first part of this year, she is singing around the world and getting ready to start working on the biopic of Mahalia’s life!! Don’t sound like a dead career to me!!!
My fav killed it!! Lovin the new look too gurl! *muah*
IT WAS OUTSTANDING.
Now that’s talent, singing with you heart, REAL MUSIC!
She should be at the top and not all of these garbage artists!
@Who’s Cedric.. LOL LOL LOL you’re WRONG for that one.
And to all the naysayers: Y’all are superficial and ugly (yes because ugliness comes from the inside)
That was different!!! Looked like she ate some collard greens and cornbread right before she hit the stage… Gotta love Tasia!!!!!!!!!
Follow me twitter @ Who_Is_Hasaan
@ TRUTH thats james the f** dogs anybody who isnt sucking beyhoes d***, I love Fanny she dont have 2 shake booty pads 4 lack talent
I will always be endeared to that country ass sista,
She kill it and she finally looks Great.
She looks like s***… that hair color is not working for her at all… I also don’t care for the song at all. Wasn’t there something better she could sing off of that album? Wow…
@HASAAN FITZGERALD
“Looked like she ate some collard greens and cornbread right before she hit the stage”
*Dead* Love Tasia but still…*Dead*
i h8 her….ghetto ass trash
I wish she sang Bittersweet. The track she won a grammy for best rnb song. She KILLS that live everytime. This current track is corny and doesnt showcase her vocals at all. Broadway s***, mehhh!!
love the performance, hated the dress.
oh, and she actually gave good advice at the end.
I like the thickness
Lol Fanny looks a hot dayum mess! Why does she look like Ursula from the little mermaid? She better pay homage!
Ursula > Fantasia.
Tasia love the performance she gave a shot out to steven tyler because they worked together before.She show them how its done that song is even better when she did it on tour with her own band.And yes she have to gain 45 lbs for a movie roll.
I’m sorry, I would have never made a song like this, lol.
LOVE the song! She’s gaining weight to play Mahalia Jackson in a movie. The dress was tighter then it should have been but nice retro look. I wish the guys did the dance they usually do in concert to that song.
The Steven Tyler shout out was sooo cute. She’s a great performer.
Such a beautiful singing voice, but when she talks, I can’t help but to laugh my ass off.
I LOVE SUM FANTASIA !!!! yes girl she looke real cute, thivk ole cornbread booty!!! LOVE THIS SONG & ALBUM!!! MUAH GIRL YESSS!!!
All you haters can say what you like but when your favs are in rehab trying to kick their habit miss tasia will still be singing her face off…Do u tasia bush them off babygirl..
Fantasia Back To Me #10 itunes r&B
She killed tht performance!!! She gained extra weight for a movie ppl!
SHE LOOK GREAT AND SHE KILLED IT
Some of ya’ll are really simply stupid! First of all, probably the reason Fantasia did not sing the Grammy winner “Bittersweet” is because she has already preformed that song
on AI. Fastasia has gainned weight due to a movie role, she had to gain 40 lbs.
Lastly, I agree with Simon Cowell. Fantasia is the most “talented” person, so far, to have
hit the Idol’s stage.
She has a beautiful dark skinned complexsion and s*** full lips.
Patti Labelle explains it better, but be mindful, that those who calls Fantasia ugly are people who probably think dark skin and full lips are not attractive.
Fantasia gave a wonderful performance. I think she’s an attractive young woman and that
doesn’t mean that I like all of her hairstyles or outfits. I love her entire CD.
All of ya’ll dark-skinned, full-lips beauties out there, know that you are beautiful !
She Killed It.
She slayed as usual, I love the Back To Me album.
Yass Tasia you betta sing!
PEOPLE ARE FUNNY LOL I DONT THINK HER LOOKS COUNT BY THE WAY I THINK SHE LOOK NICE BUT ANYWAY THE SINGING WAS GREAT AND ON POINT I LOVE FANTASIA AND I WILL BE BUYING THE ABLUM SHE KILLED IT SHE DID HER THING
why is she getting so big she’s still so young.
FANTASIA IS GAINING WEIGHT FOR A MOVIE PEOPLE GET OVER IT
LOVE Fantasia!
Collards was fabulous live and even better on Idol. Tasia was in command. She has the confidence to do what moves her and is incredibly creative. Tonight, 25 million people watched a gifted singer.
Dead career? Fantasia just won a GRAMMY!
Nice!!! Go Fanny
And this is a performer! not some beyawnce trash. Not flashing lights, fireworks….just SINGING and CAPTIVATING
EXACTLY I CAN ARGUE WITH PEOPLE BUT IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME TALENT SPEAKS FOR IT SELF FANTASIA HAS JUST WON A GRAMMY NOT TO LONG AGO SO SHE MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT IM JUST SAYING WELL ANYWAY SHE KILLED THIS SONG AND HOPE IT DOES WELL ON THE CHARTS PEOPLE IF YOU SLEEP WAKE UP AND BUY THE BACK TO ME CD ITS A WONDERFUL CD O YEA BY THE WAY FANTASIA HAS A MOVIE COMING OUT THATS WHY SHE GAINED WEIGHT
GO head Fantasia!!!!! SANG BISH!!! Yassssss u slayed my soul with that performance
Fanty goes totally old school. Major Motown vibe here. I keep hearing “Heaven must have sent you from above…heaven must have sent your sweet love…” Ha ha. Fantasia finishes the song and says, “Steven, I love you!” Cute.
WHAT IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT THE LOOK…. SHE HAS LOOKED HER BEST IN AWHILE… IT’S PRETTY SAD, WHEN U CAN’T PLEASE NO ONE… SHE LOOKED GREAT 2NITE… LOVE IT… MY BABY IS THICK…. AT LEAST, SHE SHAVES HER ARMS AND KEEPS HERSELF CLEAN UNLIKE MOST OF YA’LL HOODRATS… GOD LOVES U FANTASIA AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS…. GET IT FANTASIA…..
FANTASIA AND THIS SONG SHITS ON ALL THE CRAP ON RADIO RIGHT NOW!!!! THIS IS THE EXACT KIND OF MUSIC THAT SHOULD BE PRAISED!!! SHE PERFORMED JUST AS GREAT WHEN I SAW HER ON TOUR FRONT AND CENTER, SHE IS REAL AND FABULOUS, IF ANYONE SAYS ANY DIFFERENT THEY MUST BE DAMN FOOLS!!!
class, dramatics, sass and beauty — THIS GURL HAS IT ALL.
She’s wearing a sparkly red dress slit all the way up to the waist, and her hair’s practically blonde, with one big curl in the front — sort of a nuevo Etta James look, one that fits the old-school soul sound of the single. It’s one of my favorite songs from Back to Me, and she sings the fire out of it….
I wonder what was JLo thinking about seeing talent in front of her!
It’s Amazing !! My friend Janice tells me she is da t ing with a millionare!!
🙂 🙂 :)~~ Lo ve Wealt hy * c0 m~~ is the c lub where she met her honey. It’s a place gathers CEOs, pro athletes, doctors, lawyers, investors, entrepreneurs, beauty queens, fitness models and Hollywood celebrities!
You will be the next Janice. Go for it !!!
I don’t care what anyone else says she is the BEST American Idol
Luv her..
Of course she’s the best american idol!
But it’s reducing to say that…because she’s just one of the best singers of all time (not just american idol)
What is wrong with people and background singers! Fanny always sounds good but those background singers couldnt hit it like the album!!!!! I love Fannny!!! No matter what you say to bring her down! Her voice is one of the best ive ever heard! You cant mess with that type of soul!!!!!!
I love her confidence ! And she sounded great.
No matter the look , as long as the vocals are on point , I’m cool.
shes been eatting alot of corn bread? jkjk
She’s an ok singer but I just dislike the sound of her voice, I hope they don’t use her voice for the Mahalia movie coz Mahalia’s voice was way different…it would be like getting Fantasia to play Whitney…it just ain’t right.
I never heard of this song until American Idol last night it was just okay to me but I woke up singing this s*** this morning. She getting better, she aint No Beyonce tho.
GET THE F*** OUT OF HERE YOU RIGHT FANTASIA IS NO BEYONCE SHES BETTER AND CAN SING 10 TIMES BETTER THAN HER ONCE AGAIN FANTASIA LOOKED NICE AND KILLED THAT SONG HER AND JORDIN SPARKS ARE THE BEST IDOLS F*** WITH IT THAT VOICE IS KILLING THE GAME RIGHT NOW
I DONT CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAY THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL MUSIC THIS SOUND LIKE SOME MUSIC BACK IN THE DAY AND THIS SONG IS VERY GOOD I LOVE THIS BALLED FANTASIA BE KILLING AND WISH THE BEST AND SHE LOOK BIG BUT NICE
It looks like JRecords and Fantasia accomplished their goal of getting the people back talking about Fantasia and her album. Her album soared back to Top 10 on iTunes and the song hasnt even been sent to radio. It will be sent on April 11th.
Whether you dislike the song or love it, the point is YOU”RE TALKING ABOUT IT. Thats what music should be, a discussion about the lyrical content and overall feeling. Fantasia, people can talk crap about you all day, but it only shows that you have a special place in everyone’s heart because its your name that is rolling off their tounge.
I am glad JRecords gave you a 3rd single because after a Grammy win you deserved it. This song will definantly go Top 10 on R&B. Mark my Words..
The song’s lyrical content is incredibly stupid, did she write it? What an illitirate idiot.
I KNOW THE TITLE IS SO ELEMENTARY AND COUNTRY THEY COULD OF KEPT THAT AND THE BLONDE DO NOT FIT HER AT ALL!
Only Fanny can pull this off.
I LOVE Fantasia and she kills every performance she does! Her album is amazing! And yes I agree the best Idol contestant EVER! And you guys really need to stop hating because she looks and sound great!
Mangled belts? where did you hear that? Performance Was GREAT PERIOD!
@Hudson Morrigan
No she didn’t write it. It was written and produced by Warren “Oak” Felder and Andrew “Pop” Wansel.
So I guess there are two other “illitirate idiots” out there getting well paid.
I can’t see the performace (i’m at work & it’s blocked until i get home to see it) but you people are soooooooooo f****** crazy & don’t know a true singer or talent if it slapped you across your dome. Fanny is the truth she’s everything that a lot of artist needs to be right now & the whole package. I’m so tired of people praising Beyawnce & Rih Rih like their some Goddess. The only reason why people ride their Bra Straps is because they’ve been in the game a little longer & has all this fame & endorsements. But when you look at the big pic of who has the voice IMO fanny has the R&B SOUL voice who can pull off many genres of music. I’d like to hear Beywance or the Strangled Goat sing a song like this & put feeling & soul into it. YEAH RIGHT! Fanny do you MA because no one can touch you!
I only clicked on this post because I thought she was serving ACTUAL collard greens & cornbread.
fantasia killed this she looked nice and sounded very good
i feel this will be a big hit
How unfortunate that so many black people hate themselves…sad…Fantasia is the picture of fierce, raw, nubian beauty and those of us that have not been brain washed into thinking white is right and anything close to that is where it’s at can see this…love U Fantasia!!!!…cannot wait to see U live!!!.
WHO THE F*** IS PROMOTING THESE CDS…SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT THIS OUT & THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH TEACH ME…IF THEY DNT PROMOTE THE F*** OUT OF CHRIS BROWN CD ILL BE F****** UPSET IF IT DNT SELL 2 MILLION IN AMERICA ALONE HE HAS TOO MANY HITS ON HIS CD
Well damn someone liked her performance because her album jumped to #8 on itunes R&B charts And Collard Greens & Cornbread jumped to #23 on itunes R&B. It was a hot performance ugly dress tho
Fantasia at last performed like the star she showed she could be on American Idol. Once they got hold of her in the studio for her first albums they tried to make her like everyone else. She reminded me of a young Aretha Franklin with some Shirley Ceasar mixed in. The song is a perfect format for her to show her strengths and individuality. Although I’m a southern white boy who loves collard greens and cornbread I wish that phrase was different – don’t know what – but it was sort of silly – but she made it not seem so. She looked dynamic, royal, classic like all great divas do. But I do hope she loses the weight just for health reasons. She’s hot now, but she was really hot when she was slimmer too.
love the new look, hope she stays this way.
come on….that is the most ridiculous “song” ever….talk about corny…whewww…..and she sounds like Mickey Mouse singing
FANTASIA SOUNDED GOOD
Loved this performance! Love this whole album, can’t wait to see what she does next.
