I just love this version!! In my humble opinion, the judges were and are still wrong. If Ms. Barrino were to release this song as a single today, i'd buy it immediately!
This performance was one of my all time FAVORITE of hers in Idol. I totally disagreed with the judges then and still now. Love you Tasia. Waiting on a remake of this cut. Beautiful!
The arrangement was off she had to take control and push the performance..... Key parts gave me chills and I dropped the phone. The girl knows how to vocally finesse a song with those "yeah" words & "alright" baby....! I'm here for all the hollering!!!!😅❤
I swear that I watch this performance specifically for @1:19-@1:52 😍😍 She put so much soul into that. I swear she was 19, singing like she was 56. And still sings with an old soul today
The male judges were off, off, off! Fantasia tore this song a "NEW" behind in her own voice and rendition of this song! Beautiful, Beautiful Fantasia!!!!!!!!!
she did a great job on this.. i really felt this performance.. i know a good performance when i see/hear it. especially when it makes me close my eyes n start nodding my head.. 10/10
Fantasia version was the first time i ever heard the song lol. And i absolutely loveeddddd it. I remember this night clear as day. Man that woman is so BLESSEDDDDDD. Her voice...i feel God. So proud of her
I remember when she performed this the first time I thought " Simon and Randy are trippin"! She did that damn song and I bet you when they go back and listen to it now, they agree! There hasn't been another idol that can touch her since!!! Her stage presence and performance are amazing!!!
i think this is one of her best perfomance. Actually, my husband played this version for me on my birthday in 2004. I'll always remember this song by fantasia. Go Fantasia
AN IMPORTANT FYI IS THIS WAS CONTESTANTS WEEK, THE FINALE..FANTASIA CHOSE THIS SONG ON PURPOSE TO GIVE RECOGNITION RESPECT AND SHOW HOW PROUD TALENT RUNS IN THE FAM, PERFORMING HER COUSINS BIGGEST HIT...BLESSED #kci&jojo
OMG I love this rendition! I love all Fantasias performances - but the performances Simon didn’t like at the time I just ADORE IT! Love you Fantasia…..
Ive been looking for this performance, thank goodness... I loved this, even though judges thought it wasnt all that... But, look at the old white man in brown jacket behind Simon at 3:57 clapping when Simon said that. Hater, clappin by his self, probably a pedafile or something!
She did an absolutely amazing job with this performance. I loved her arrangement. However, Simon was correct in his response. The song wasn't popular amongst the AI audience so not only could they not connect but her arrangement definitely went over their heads. But in the meantime I have this on repeat. lol
I felt bad that Simon hated this and Randy and Paula weren't that big on it, either, because this is one of my favorite performances of hers. All she has to say is 'yeah, yeah, yeah' (which I usually hated) and she took me to church. I LOVE this girl.
This was a good rendition of "All My Life" by Fantasia. Now, here is something that nobody knows but I found out that Fantasia happens to be related to both K-Ci and JoJo. They're cousins! It's nice how she kept it in the family and covered this song!
Literally makes me cry every single time. The judges didn’t want to admit it cuz the band left her hanging in the beginning n then she OWNED IT!!! This was a movie.
@MrLuigiable Yeah, that's what it is homie, thumbs up on that cuz I wasn't feeling this really...I mean, it wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either..
It really didn't matter because she sang summertime and her last song was "I believe" which means she had the competition locked up..the majority of the people won't get that kind of performance unless they come from the church..and when the choir came out for "I believe" I knew it was over.
The judges were following a script that I have noticed throughout all these shows. There must be at least one negative criticism no matter how well the person sings and performs. I say "Boo" to them. They were absolutely wrong, wrong, wrong.
Hmm... I don't really like Fantasia's voice. She screeches to much for me. However, this is almost enjoyable for me, though I'm well aware this was one of her worse performances. She's actually singing, not much screeching. It probably helps that I really like this song.
Seriously Fantasia I love that girl and she killed it for me. And she says " Thank you Simon" At the end when Simon starts getting on to her. I reallyl ike that. what a lady ^^ Team fantasia All Day !!!
Big ups to Fantasia. you are just wonderful and my heart loves you and your music. My children love you. I sent one of your videos to my man and he loves you. Keep them coming.
I just love this version!! In my humble opinion, the judges were and are still wrong. If Ms. Barrino were to release this song as a single today, i'd buy it immediately!
Yes Maurice!
Yes! My favorite version too. Addicted!
Here in 2024 to agree.
She took this song to church 😂
This performance was one of my all time FAVORITE of hers in Idol. I totally disagreed with the judges then and still now. Love you Tasia. Waiting on a remake of this cut. Beautiful!
Agreed
Pp
Right!
Still now wish this had been released as a full version she’s got one of the greatest voice and tone love this woman she’s an old soul
This has always been and still remains my favorite version of the song. Something about it that is incredibly moving
The arrangement was off she had to take control and push the performance..... Key parts gave me chills and I dropped the phone. The girl knows how to vocally finesse a song with those "yeah" words & "alright"
baby....! I'm here for all the hollering!!!!😅❤
Got chill bumps the first time I heard this version and still have them now!!!
I swear that I watch this performance specifically for @1:19-@1:52 😍😍 She put so much soul into that. I swear she was 19, singing like she was 56. And still sings with an old soul today
You nailed it! Song goes into a different level at 1:10!
She takes me out 🤦💯
I cannot believe simon felt that way, I loved the hell out of her singing this song.. She can make you get goosebumps just watching her perform
Still one of my fav performances from her. Love her rendition.
Mine as well! 😄
me too!😊
K-CI & JoJo are her cousins....imagine that family reunion talent show lol
Singing to God, they're rich in talent!
i know the judges didn't like her version. but i love her performance
Me too.
The male judges were off, off, off! Fantasia tore this song a "NEW" behind in her own voice and rendition of this song! Beautiful, Beautiful Fantasia!!!!!!!!!
She sang this like a love song. Bravo!!!
she did a great job on this.. i really felt this performance.. i know a good performance when i see/hear it. especially when it makes me close my eyes n start nodding my head.. 10/10
Fantasia version was the first time i ever heard the song lol. And i absolutely loveeddddd it. I remember this night clear as day. Man that woman is so BLESSEDDDDDD. Her voice...i feel God. So proud of her

Man she is so beautiful and her voice is so perfect too!
I watch this regularly as i just think its one of the beautiful performances i have ever seen
have been a fan every since American Idol....simply marvelous
i think this is one of her best perfomance. Actually, my husband played this version for me on my birthday in 2004. I'll always remember this song by fantasia. Go Fantasia
One of her best??
AN IMPORTANT FYI IS THIS WAS CONTESTANTS WEEK, THE FINALE..FANTASIA CHOSE THIS SONG ON PURPOSE TO GIVE RECOGNITION RESPECT AND SHOW HOW PROUD TALENT RUNS IN THE FAM, PERFORMING HER COUSINS BIGGEST HIT...BLESSED
#kci&jojo
The greatest performance still I’ve seen

Outstanding!!!!!
the video for fantasia new single "bittersweet" is now available on vevo.com and here on youtube
fantasia album is out everywhere so go purchase you copy right now
Eminem said you only get one shot and Fantasia TOOK it! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I agree with Randy. Hated the arrangement but loved how she made it her own. Didnt like it overall but she did her part
JUST A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT
her voice iz amazing♥
OMG I love this rendition! I love all Fantasias performances - but the performances Simon didn’t like at the time I just ADORE IT! Love you Fantasia…..
Interesting fun fact, the artist who does that song originally K-Ci & Jojo are Fantasia’s cousins! Maybe that’s the reason why she did that song!
Ive been looking for this performance, thank goodness... I loved this, even though judges thought it wasnt all that... But, look at the old white man in brown jacket behind Simon at 3:57 clapping when Simon said that. Hater, clappin by his self, probably a pedafile or something!
Amazing video She makes me tear up
I wish it didn’t end with the judges commentary 😭😭 if I could cut that shit out I would
The judges have no idea the power and connection of this song! The most powerful song in idiol history 🙏🏾
Agreed ❤
Still my favorite AI performance, ever!
@YoshiharaOfficial This was my favorite song of all that she sang!
Thank you
Loved it and I dont care what Simon says!
Watching this again in 2020!
She did an absolutely amazing job with this performance. I loved her arrangement. However, Simon was correct in his response. The song wasn't popular amongst the AI audience so not only could they not connect but her arrangement definitely went over their heads. But in the meantime I have this on repeat. lol
Well , that's not true... Wknew this song back then. It was a huuuuge hit and it's from her cousins (that's why she sang).
I really like her version, since very first time hear it 15 years ago...just different from judges opinions...
This was a ridiculous outragous performance this shows you true talent.
yeah yeah yeah...I dunno..yeah yeah....though...yeah yeah yeah yeah......yeaeeeaaah..this is knd a unique one..yeahhh yeah yeeeahhhh
I felt bad that Simon hated this and Randy and Paula weren't that big on it, either, because this is one of my favorite performances of hers. All she has to say is 'yeah, yeah, yeah' (which I usually hated) and she took me to church. I LOVE this girl.
This was a good rendition of "All My Life" by Fantasia. Now, here is something that nobody knows but I found out that Fantasia happens to be related to both K-Ci and JoJo. They're cousins! It's nice how she kept it in the family and covered this song!
2023 ❤️✨
Well she has an advantage considering she is related to K-Ci and Jojo.
That's idiotic.
Apparently she is... which means shes also the cousin of dave hollister, was in blackstreet.
KC & JoJo is her first cousins
I agree With Randy it wasn't Perfect but she sang it well Simon you be quiet
Literally makes me cry every single time. The judges didn’t want to admit it cuz the band left her hanging in the beginning n then she OWNED IT!!! This was a movie.
I think the issue is the band didnt mix well but she gave it her all but the music was kind of stale but she put her foot in it
Nah she ate this up
It's OK but they shoulda told her to do it an octave lower.... It was prolly them who made her do it in this key..... SMH.
jerryingmaster.. If you hate her "yeh Yeh Yeh" then don't come to her page and listen to her perform.. its really simple if ya think about it (=
@MrLuigiable Yeah, that's what it is homie, thumbs up on that cuz I wasn't feeling this really...I mean, it wasn't bad but it wasn't really good either..
agree that its about sex disgaree that she's not the best! Fantasia is like no other.. forget the haters.. she's doin her thing!
Kci & jojo song seen that vibe in there slightly along with the church thang
I love her version...still have the recording...
Where did u get the recording from!??
Her and her cousins kfc and jojo can sing sing…and they first cousins
But like… she barely sang…. How did she win
It's 2021 and I'm still obsessed with this performance.
I only watch her performance on repeat. I don't agree with the judges at all, so I refuse to listen to them.
She did amazing job but Randy was trippin
There was texting back then???
Yes. 2004.
You tried it😅 have a seat
What are the judges smoking?!
if your in arkansas on july 9 on dont miss fantasia live at the robinson center in little rock,AR
I love Fantasia...this song,Summertime and What are you doing the rest of your life are my favorites!!!
I love this girl. Congratulations and keep up the wonderful work.
You can hear their shared genetics
She sang her soul....Go Tashia....
That girl can sang 😅😅😅❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
It really didn't matter because she sang summertime and her last song was "I believe" which means she had the competition locked up..the majority of the people won't get that kind of performance unless they come from the church..and when the choir came out for "I believe" I knew it was over.
I hated the judges at that time, and Im still hating them…. One of her best performances!!! And think she was just 19 and doing THAT, so amazing….
The judges were following a script that I have noticed throughout all these shows. There must be at least one negative criticism no matter how well the person sings and performs. I say "Boo" to them. They were absolutely wrong, wrong, wrong.

uh she did win please dont me ignorant
Why am I addicted to this ?
I luv Tasia to bits always have... but I have to agree with Simon...... to some degree!
She dis her thing though but I don't think was the best...
I'm not trying to be Mean But She Did a GREAT TIME JOB! you can really Tell that Kci and JoJo are her Cuzins she did a perfect job!!
The fact she is cousins with k-ci and jojo makes this song that much more powerful with her performance. ❤
Seriously Fantasia I love that girl and she killed it for me. And she says " Thank you Simon" At the end when Simon starts getting on to her. I reallyl ike that. what a lady ^^ Team fantasia All Day !!!
Have to agree with the judges here. I love the song, but it was just not the right song for her style. But she made the absolute most of it.
IM IN LOVE WiTH FANTASIA-An Yes, I m a Black Man thats not DL, Has a Job and Only ONE baby Mama who I was with over 10 yrs....
i love you fantasia!! i love your voice keep it up!!! this is old thouhgh.
God I would pay good money to see her with her cousins KC and JoJo!!!
Her talent is something special.And she sang this song sooooo beautifully!!!.wateva simon says is complete crap!!!.
Big ups to Fantasia. you are just wonderful and my heart loves you and your music. My children love you. I sent one of your videos to my man and he loves you. Keep them coming.
simon said its a mess lol its true cause fantasia didnt start it good she missed i will never lol
She took me to church.
Did not realize it at the time but this is her causin's kc and JoJo song
Look how little she was.
since you post the judges comment I like the Willie Nelson song.
LOVED this performance. Fantasia is hot. Her voice is just amazing and one of a kind...
Are you going to upload any of her other performance from season 3.
i think the judge got this one wrong too she was awesome
Not her best performance but it's her emotion that gets you.
