She ain't the GREATEST singer, but what she IS, is a singer who sings with a PASSION that is RARE. It ain't JUST about TONE. If you ain't a FAN of SOUL SINGING, you wouldn't get it. NOT R&B, not pop, she is a SOUL SINGER Over the years, there has only been a FEW. She is ONE of them.
Everyone always compares Fantasia to females with bigger voices,but Tasia has got something they can't touch. She puts raw emotion in hers songs,she's a very unique vocalist. This woman truly has a gift and no one can take that away from her.
I can't excplain it but that "mmmhmmm there was a time.." at the beginning of the song encapsulates everything I love about this artist. With that one note she sets the mood, she almost like resets the song as if it were written for her.
I love Fantasia and admire the way she over came her mistakes and had a chance to see her dream come true at such a young age. I love her music and her style of singing. In the distant future people will be saying about her what we are saying about Patti Labelle today. You better sang gurlllll. Love you babe. Keep making it do what it do!
attention all fans please help and request her new single "im doing me" on your local radio station so we can help her on the charts so true fans thats out there please support her
This is what Idol has been missing for the last few years. A SOULFUL singer. Too many pop vocalist. Im glad the rock guy won cause he was a breath of fresh air to the show.
fantasia this was awesome. girl no matter what they say about you, girl u can siinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng ur good sorry ,ur great u make ur fans feel wat ur sayin
This child's performance is almost addictive to me. I have a daughter that can blow as well. There are lots of talented people in this world and if we continue to encourage instead of being negative, we would be enjoying even more talent. Fan, be strong, do what you do, and tell the devil he is a liar!
I remember watching this season while I was at LSU...I loved her the first time I heard her sing, and she literally kept me glued to the show. I'd forgotten about this particular performance...THANK YOU for posting it. Her voice is so different and special. I remember always being excited every week to hear what she was going to sing...I taped her FIRST "Summertime" performance (the one where she couldn't hold back the tears at the end), and I just couldn't believe how beautiful it was...
Actually I'm white and I love Fantasia. And I have the upmost respect for blacks, mexican, any race. I deffinetly ain't racist, I never would be. I know how it feels to be hated on cause I'm gay and all and I've been disrespected in many ways, but don't let no one get in your way just stand strong and be proud of who you are. If you are doing what's right be proud of that. so Awesome Anal you should be very ashamed of your disrespect. My case settled
attention fantasia if your in arkansas on july 9 dont miss fantasia live in concert at the robinson center in Little Rock,AR so if you havent gotten your tickets go get them cause this is a must see show tickets are available now at ticket master
attention fantasia if your in arkansas on july 9 dont miss fantasia live in concert at the robinson center in Little Rock,AR dont miss cause this is a must see show so if you havent gotten your ticket go get them cause its gonna be outstanding
Let's be SERIOUS for a sec. NO OTHER CONTESTANT has commanded the stage like FANTASIA. There are special MOMENTS in television and whenever she came on she made you STOP and WATCH. Good Bad or indifferent, YOU TALKED ABOUT FANTASIA. her appearances were SPECIAL and they won't ever duplicate that again.
.cont There's Aretha, there's Gladys, There's Sisqo, there's Fantasia, There's Stokley from Mint Condition, There's Yolonda Adams who sings Gospel You need to know WTF i'm talking about and what these singers have in COMMON. If you don't know, then you DON'T KNOW SOUL SINGING. That very "THING" these others share is what makes her SPECIAL.
i know but like when she sang "the greatest love of all" it was supposed to be a sweet, calming rendition, then she went for that great big note at the end which was great until she broke into yeah yeah yeah
I think its like her trademark like she that little shoulder shrug she does at 0:57. She does that on almost every song. I think that she took that from Pattie LaBelle.
With all due respect the I never chose to be gay, I just am, And i am proud of who I am. I never tried to compare the pain of being a certain race to being gay. I was saying basicly being racist and prejudice are the same things there are racist out there, and true homophobes. And I'm not 1 of them. So I'm trying to say that I no what it's like to be disrespected and hated just for something that, I'm not hating on anyone, so I think of others before I judge. That's what I was saying.
YEAH, the SOUL i'm talking about and the one YOU hear are TOTALLY 2 different things.....TRUST ME ON THAT. You obviously don't hear what WE hear. That's like calling that bullshit potatoes and Mayo "POTATO SALAD" .........2 different things TOTALLY
to NOT be able to decipher what i meant, NOT KNOW the similarities that the singers i mentioned ALL have in common tells me YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I MEAN or MEANT. I'm through with you.
.cont I ain't saying black folks are the only ones to ever suffer, either. We have different styles. That's all. And the white ones who THINK they're scoming across as soulful, actually comes across as someone TRYING to be soulful. It doesn't work. The few who ARE natural that i can remember are Tina Marie, Bryan Abrams from Color Me Badd, and Steve Perry from Journey. Elliott yamin has "IT" too. Their Soulfullness is NATURAL. Not fake.
how do you define soul? that's not really something that determines vocal power.. as far as billie is concerned, i must say she's more of a composer than a vocalist- that type of style doesn't have the appreciation it used to... and fantasia is in no way average
She ain't the GREATEST singer, but what she IS, is a singer who sings with a PASSION that is RARE. It ain't JUST about TONE. If you ain't a FAN of SOUL SINGING, you wouldn't get it. NOT R&B, not pop, she is a SOUL SINGER

She just Fantasiarized another one!!! Awesome!
This girl is just talented and can't noone or nothing take that away from her.
She damn near brought me to tears. I love Fantasia and she is another great example of a natural vocalist.
This is one of the few times Idol got it right, seriously.
Unbelievable... Fantasia is just a level above most that i ever heard on American Idol
I absoulutly loved this performance she blew me away on this. It gave me chills
I can't excplain it but that "mmmhmmm there was a time.." at the beginning of the song encapsulates everything I love about this artist. With that one note she sets the mood, she almost like resets the song as if it were written for her.
Wow! Still gave me goosebumps like it did when I first watched this 12 yrs ago.
Man... I love this girl.. She's amazing, fantastic, and this song, was perfect with her voice... I loved it...
You are so right! It is! I love both of their voices. It's raspy and unique. I love it.
Best voice thay ever been on the show. This is years old and I still remember it.
13 yrs later I still cry when she sings. Fantasia Is fabulous
love her!
DAMN she gave me the chills. I have goosebumps all over. She's one hell of a singer.
I love Fantasia and admire the way she over came her mistakes and had a chance to see her dream come true at such a young age. I love her music and her style of singing. In the distant future people will be saying about her what we are saying about Patti Labelle today. You better sang gurlllll. Love you babe. Keep making it do what it do!
As a black girl I truly forgive you from the heart GOD bless! But don't hate!
Damn I remember watching this all those years ago. I would call in and vote 100 times for her lol. Good times
I loved this performance..she is amazing.. put a live audience that loves her behind her.. and she will prove her amazingness...

She is a natural stage perfomer.The other singers had voices but didn't know how to perform.
Let's be SERIOUS for a sec. NO OTHER CONTESTANT has commanded the stage like FANTASIA. There are special MOMENTS in television and whenever she came on she made you STOP and WATCH. Good Bad or indifferent, YOU TALKED ABOUT FANTASIA.

I BELIEVE - MDM(Male Version)

@TrynaGetBacToMyLuv LOL! New underwear needed.
to NOT be able to decipher what i meant, NOT KNOW the similarities that the singers i mentioned ALL have in common tells me YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I MEAN or MEANT.

gayness is not a choice

how do you define soul? that's not really something that determines vocal power.. as far as billie is concerned, i must say she's more of a composer than a vocalist- that type of style doesn't have the appreciation it used to... and fantasia is in no way average
