That was quick. Guess they were already editing this one and had to update.
She’s over.
Why?
Hmmmm…I beleive she has a new cd coming out. Coincidence?
I hope they mention how she would screw over Broadway audiences with her last minute cancellations during her ‘Color Purple’ run. Super unprofessional woman.
Let’s see, you’re a guy who’s complaining about The Color Purple on Broadway??? Jeez, go see your doctor, I think you may be suffering from non-existant testosterone!
She had tumors on her vocal chords,Stupid.
I don’t even want to see another Behind the Music about another poor, disadvantaged ghetto-rat who overcame blah blah blah. There’s no excuse for what she’s done lately, but those people always fall back on their “underprivileged” status to justify all their extensive wrongdoing.
Is Jim Forbes still narrating?
Fantasia is a fighter, so you can respect her now, or respect her later but you will respect her! Stop hating…get a new job ppl!
HIP, HIP, HOORAY, FOR YOU FANTASIA. I FEEL YOUR PAIN AND I HAVE ADMIRED YOU SINCE THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU PERFORM. I WISH NOTHING BUT THE VERY BEST FOR YOU, YOUR CHILD, AND YOUR LOVED ONES. I KNOW THIS IS NOT AN EASY TIME FOR YOU BUT, BECAUSE I SEE SO MANY PARALLELS IN YOUR LIFE AND MINE I KNOW YOU ARE A FIGHTER AND A SURVIVOR. SO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP; DON’T LOOK DOWN. THERE’S NOTHING DOWN THERE BUT D…I…R…T. LET GOD ABIDE AND KEEP YOU AND YOURS IN THE HOLLOW IF HIS HAND.

Fantaia Keep Your Head Up All Bad Things Will End There Is Light AT The End Of Every Dark Road.
Love U Fanny!!
Fantasia God is all over you,and He is keeping you alive. We can clearly see and hear the church in you when you perform.God is not thru with you. No matter what happens in your life you’re always come back to God! Ppl come and go.But God will never leave you or forsake you! Love you
this is exclusively for Fantasia, there is no reason that you should listen to me. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, you are an inspiration to others in your situation. However, most importantly take time for yourself, then your daughter, then yourself. And lastly, Yourself. I or others dont matter, self does. Be blessed, we fall down, or appear to do so and ascend to greater heights. Love you.
