Tasia Apr 23, 2008 12:52 PM ET Reviewed by: doctortony Overlooked after the fact given the limited appeal of R and B (not for me, but others). With the right songwriter and publicist she could be the next Aretha. Simply talented!

FANTASIA. An Idols Idol May 02, 2007 04:37 PM ET Reviewed by: grassrootsvi Fantasia is the most total package of ANY Idol winner to date. Was lucky La Toya got eliminated Apr 23, 2007 01:54 AM ET Reviewed by: Tabitha In my opinion, Fantasia was lucky that La Toya got eliminated. Not the best, but she does have very good control which is a prerequisite to winning. nie Apr 04, 2007 10:34 AM ET Reviewed by: kadp1026 nie Worst Mar 22, 2007 10:03 AM ET Reviewed by: NYMWSC1986 She is the worst idol ever to win end of story She is the real deal!!!!!! Mar 02, 2007 12:05 PM ET Reviewed by: temptation422232003 I think Fantasia is one of the most talented people in the world. The girl is amazing and she is doing things that we can only dream of. Keep your head up Ms. Tasia and God Bless!!!! Not A Fan of Fan-Tastasia Jun 25, 2006 12:09 AM ET Reviewed by: idolstocker I thought she screamed like no other. I was upset when she one. I'm glad she broke her shoe. Do yall rember that? I think she deserved it. I only liked four performances. All my life. Knock On Wood. Holding Out for A Hero. Sumertime. Favriot:As Above Sumertime.

This girl May 29, 2006 11:27 AM ET Reviewed by: poweke has IT! She is an amazing performer & I'm so happy that she is doing so well in the music industry. Her voice is not pretty -- but I do acknowledge her talent Mar 30, 2006 01:01 PM ET Reviewed by: Manderly I really, really dislike her weird screechy voice. Yet her "Summertime" was so moving I almost cried. Now that's a good performer, one who can overcome my actual dislike of her voice and draw me in. Fantasia Mar 16, 2006 10:46 AM ET Reviewed by: CG2 Her voice is just like nails on a chalkboard to me. And any more singing to the floor or yeah yeah yeah's and I would scream. But some folks seem to like that quality in her voice - so I guess that it is a preference thing. The worst of the best Nov 23, 2005 05:54 AM ET Reviewed by: tinap Who voted for her? And why? fantasia should not even be in the top 10... Sep 10, 2005 07:33 PM ET Reviewed by: mmwap I disliked her very much. Thats all I would like to say about that. Fantasia Jul 17, 2005 09:49 PM ET Reviewed by: Gr8Claym8 Her voice can be so screechy. And "Summertime" was not the best performance of the show or of the season. fantasia Jul 11, 2005 04:21 PM ET Reviewed by: tubbs she has a good voice she sometimes screeches but her voice has a real edge dont think she should have won but she deserved to be placed high. Fantasia, the little single mother that could. Jun 15, 2005 09:16 PM ET Reviewed by: Zircon i liked Fantiasia, i have her cd. it didn't really do anything for me, her voice is srong and very good but her song selection was quesionable Just Don't Get Fantasia Jun 06, 2005 07:10 PM ET Reviewed by: mary Fantasia had a voice, but she was extremely annoying to me. I'm sure some folks enjoy her. I usually muted most of her songs. She should not have won. not my cup of tea Jun 06, 2005 08:39 AM ET Reviewed by: ncfan4clay Don't like her voice. It just gets on my nerves, sorry. Fantasia Jun 05, 2005 12:01 PM ET Reviewed by: imsnoqueen Fantasia is polarizing. Fans seem to really like her...or not. I'm somewhere in the middle. Fantasia Jun 03, 2005 02:37 AM ET Reviewed by: betamatsi Stop, already, with the whoo whoo and learn the words Fantasia Jun 03, 2005 01:47 AM ET Reviewed by: allcatt All the hype about her was obviously overblown. Where is she hiding these days. No Further Comments Jun 02, 2005 10:47 PM ET Reviewed by: marys Fantasia screams way too much. She sounds like a dime-a-dozen group in the industry. Difficult to understand her words. I'm still baffled Jun 02, 2005 02:39 PM ET Reviewed by: AmericanIdolfan I suppose that she'll have a career. Other singers have very nasal voice and still manage to have a career. I, for one, am glad that AI3 has ended...I can enjoy AI now! Baby Baby! Jun 02, 2005 01:37 PM ET Reviewed by: YWT2004 Fantasia , good luck in your R&B singing , but too much OOOOH Baby Babying for me ! Fantasia Jun 02, 2005 01:16 PM ET Reviewed by: swgen Fantasia has a unique style and voice Fannie's anything but bland Jun 02, 2005 01:14 PM ET Reviewed by: craftypat I personally do not care for the quality of Fantasia's voice or her over-the-top style of singing. I would never be able to sit through an entire concert of just Fannie, but I give her credit for being different and putting her heart and soul into her performances. Fantasia is Average Jun 02, 2005 11:12 AM ET Reviewed by: anotherfanofclay Even if you hate Fantasia, you have to admit she did amazing on Summertime. That was one of the best performances in the show's history. However, I do not think she is as original as the show seemed to say. I personally find her voice a little grating. That being said she is an ok performer. Great Style an Orignality Jun 01, 2005 10:01 PM ET Reviewed by: kimmyandcon Fanasia has good range and sings with emotion. Fantasia May 30, 2005 06:30 PM ET Reviewed by: JulieBr83 I still don't understand what people see in her. She really needs to have voice lessons. They hyped her way to much! Dreadful May 28, 2005 11:55 AM ET Reviewed by: alisheasklylar Insert every bad thing Simon ever said here! I can't rate low enough becuase it's "attacking". Honestly the more objective I try to be the lower her numbers get. Her performance was always exactly the same no matter what type of music she was supposed to be singing. All she had going for her was power. She belted notes through her note louder than I have ever heard. William Hung was better! I don't understand May 28, 2005 03:09 AM ET Reviewed by: thefaeryofpurejoy To me her voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard. I didn't and still don't understand what anyone saw in her. Her butt-scratch dance was gross and her songs since have been anything but uplifting. I hated that she reminded America that she was a single mom every chance she got. That's no way to win, this is supposed to be about performing on stage. Fantasia May 22, 2005 03:41 PM ET Reviewed by: pepper6 Not my cup of tea, but she sure is unique. Fantasia May 22, 2005 02:31 AM ET Reviewed by: hb1288 I never was a fan of her voice. I really don't believe she should have won, or even have been in the top two. I really had a hard time during Season 3 seeing the appeal. Grates on My Nerves May 21, 2005 10:16 PM ET Reviewed by: ClaysStarKeeper Whether speaking or singing, her voice grates on my nerves like fingernails down a chalkboard. For those who like her fine, that's what makes the world go round. I wish all these kids success. over rated May 21, 2005 05:01 PM ET Reviewed by: perfectday not a voice I can take Charismatic but Voice Grates May 21, 2005 04:27 PM ET Reviewed by: sleddog Just can't listen to all the high pitch screeching and yeah, yeah, yeahs. Maybe at a church revival this would fly, but Fantasia gives into this setting even singing the Star Spangled Banner. Her Summertime was gorgeous, but as broadway a presentation as you can get. I guess the judges had triple amnesia. Previously they had mocked contestants for broadway-type performances. I thought a couple of other AI3 contestants were much more talented and interesting. Fantasia's fans love her style and voted her the winner, but, with rare exception, I had to leave the room before she finished singing and that room got real crowded. She should have been kicked off May 21, 2005 06:09 AM ET Reviewed by: Tyrant When they found out she snuck back in to the audition line. Fanty Fannie May 21, 2005 02:29 AM ET Reviewed by: Huuugs I don't care for Fantasia's type of singing most of the time. I don't like all the yeah's, and her bending over like she is trying to lay an egg. That said, I do find her so very good at the beginning of some of her songs. She then starts yelling and sounds raspy and kills the song. I realize everyone has preferences and that may appeal to certain people. I never was a Macy or too much of an Aretha fan, so. . . . I thought LaToya had it all over her in talent. Fantasia May 20, 2005 11:27 PM ET Reviewed by: Cardsrock Liked her during her season but was put off by her performance on AI this season. Voice is OK - but she drives me nuts May 20, 2005 04:19 PM ET Reviewed by: cindyg When I examine the breakdown that I rated her - she comes out better than I actually FEEL about her. Her performances just drive me nuts. She sings to the floor - over-emotes and her screeching drives me nuts. No way I could sit through a concert. Great Voice But... May 19, 2005 04:51 PM ET Reviewed by: boomer1251 Not AI winner material. She has a powerful voice with tremendous range. She can sound raunchy, but fun, like Maci Gray or Janis Joplin. She can also sing ballads like "Summertime" which rival the performances of greats like Ella Fitzgerald. She hits the high notes and the low ones with equal ease. Her stage presence, while dynamic and emotional, comes off as pushy, brassy and aggressive. In interviews she does not seem very likeable. She does not look at all like an American idol. Again you'll see from my reviews thatI think an idol has to be great musically and also have the "it" or "wow" factor in terms of looks, stage presence and personality. These are the areas in which Ms. Barino misses the mark. Fantasia May 19, 2005 11:49 AM ET Reviewed by: kkkkc There is certainly a niche for her somewhere out there. Just not my cup of tea! Fantasia May 18, 2005 03:38 PM ET Reviewed by: Zelda7865 Good for her! I don't care for her voice or her style, but she is an amazing performer. clover44 May 18, 2005 09:39 AM ET Reviewed by: clover44 I would prefer to listen to finger nails across a chalk board then her screeching 00000000000 May 17, 2005 04:55 PM ET Reviewed by: elliebellie I think she has a terrific voice and stage presence, but I can't listen to it. I know that sounds a bit odd. But her style of music isn't mine. I think Macy does it better. I don't get it. May 17, 2005 02:15 AM ET Reviewed by: boo I have never understood the love for Fantasia , both from the judges and the fans. To me her voice is screechy and , due to lack of enunciation I can barely understand what she is saying. While I do give her some credit for the energy she puts into her performances , even that wears thin when she performs the same way for almost every genre. Her highly acclaimed performance of Summertime , did impress me the first time she did it (Movie night) but left me cold each time after for the simple reason of her simply repeating the same performance time after time instead of taking risks and changing it up. talentLESS May 16, 2005 11:45 PM ET Reviewed by: redFusion she won? how? why? oh yea, now i remember...everyone from season 3 stunk. george seemed to have the only potential to be the idol, jpl was at least entertaining and jon stevens maybe had a hope. but fantasia? anyone see her on season 4 perform? after that, i'm ashamed to admit i watch the show yet alone have her represent america as our idol. america got it wrong for a 3rd time! Bleh May 16, 2005 11:44 PM ET Reviewed by: Kaileen Fantasia has great energy, but she also has one of the worst voices yet. Way too nasal and shrieky for my taste. Fantasia May 16, 2005 12:31 PM ET Reviewed by: deyabird Seems like a talented performer that can sometimes make you feel her song, but her voice grates on my nerves more often than not. All hoopla May 16, 2005 11:18 AM ET Reviewed by: childywildy While Fantasia certainly has energy and a powerful voice, I found the tonal quality of her voice grating and her over emoting embaring. I honestly don't see how she prevailed longer than LaToya London or Jennifer Hudson. Bleah!! May 16, 2005 05:34 AM ET Reviewed by: angelcat4jc I can't stand how obnoxious-sounding Fantasia sounds. She screeches and bounces too much. I don't know how anyone can like her voice. She Tried and came out Fanasty May 16, 2005 02:09 AM ET Reviewed by: ryman4carrie She tried and won - no role model in a mother of a 2 year old at 19. She had no substance to her voice and wailed at times. She is Fanasty and that is all. Not My Cup of Tea May 15, 2005 11:13 PM ET Reviewed by: MarieLavaux Good performer, but I don't care for her voice. I donﾴt like Fantasia May 15, 2005 10:56 PM ET Reviewed by: Lucia Too much scream!

So that's what I'm going to do....say nothing! Fantasia May 15, 2005 11:14 AM ET Reviewed by: olsond I thought she screamed through her performances and the way she jumped around was not flattering. Is unique---just not sure that's a good thing May 15, 2005 04:12 AM ET Reviewed by: AIFan She definitely was unique on some songs and made them her own. Unfortunately in 99% of the cases that meant I didn't like them. Too much yelling, too many "yeah yeahs," too much over-emoting, not enough proper pronunciation to even know what she was saying part of the time. Her stage presence is lacking in basic essentials---face your audience, connect with them---she turns her back on the audience way too much, sings to the floor, bounces up and down so much it is totally distracting and unattractive. Her voice is too scratchy sounding most of the time. I sort of liked Truth Is, but that is the only song I have been able to listen to without cringing. Fantasia...just didnt like her voice... May 14, 2005 04:33 PM ET Reviewed by: steamboat2302 Everything else was alright..but I really did not like the scratchy tone in her voice. What a performer May 14, 2005 05:23 AM ET Reviewed by: beatrix Fantasia Barrino is a very talented performer. I didn't think that she was the best vocally, but she had her very own unique style. Rocking chair on the cat's tail May 12, 2005 10:54 PM ET Reviewed by: gloch I liked Fantasia the very first night I saw her. I thought she had great stage presence and the IT factor. By the end of the season, I couldn't stand her. The yeah, yeah, yeahs and the crouching on stage, along with her manic, breathless performances really turned me off. When she appeared on Idol this year, I thought they were going to have to bring out the Oxygen tanks. I just feel that when a performer has to yeah, yeah, yeah their way through a song, the voice just cannot do what it needs to do to pull of the song. Sorry. sorry May 11, 2005 10:25 PM ET Reviewed by: mikers she was just terrible Fantasia is not my May 11, 2005 04:04 PM ET Reviewed by: Hotshortie1 cup of tea.
