Fantasia Barrino

No one can rock a short cut like Fantasia. And no one can sang like her either. I loved her voice from the moment I heard it on American Idol. I really love her live performances. Listening to a CD just doesn't compare.  Her most memorable performance for me was on Idol when she sang "Summertime". I think I stopped watching Idol shortly after her win. 

She has the ability to sing her song with pure, raw, emotion. And not a lot of artists (especially current ones) seem to be able to do that. 

I tend to like her older music. The writing on her later songs just isn't as strong as the first couple of albums. But like I said I prefer her live performance anyway. 

Like this tribute she did to Miss Patty Labelle. She sang it better than Patti!

She really does a mean tribute.


I really wish I could have seen the play. She really put herself into this song.



And last one. I didn't even like this song until I heard it live. I love the lyrics though....I feel like they speak directly to my heart.



There are countless other performances..but we would be here all day.

So here's my Fantasia Playlist
