Fantasia Jun 02, 2012 05:50 PM ET Reviewed by: wrestlgurl Fantasia was a little Taylor quirkiness, a little Ruben soul, and little Kelly great voice, a little Adam performance. She was a great mix and worked well on the show. Said her post-Idol work didn't always live up to expectations. Fantasia May 05, 2012 06:02 PM ET Reviewed by: Oholibamah I personally don't like the sound of her voice, and graded her low on "range" since she can't really vary the tone of her voice, but I can't fault her in the other performance categories. She works the stage, is believable when she sings, hits all the necessary notes smoothly and appears to have a blast. It's a shame she's so irritating, but credit where due.

Mar 21, 2009 07:25 PM ET Reviewed by: spike While some Idols are enjoyed by the kids and "tweens", anybody with a taste for "real" music knows that Fantasia is the truest talent to come out of American Idol. Her passionate, soulful performances have left others in the dust with her "Summertime" performance still ranking as the #1 Idol performance many years later. 8 Grammy nods, Broadway awards, a best-selling book and highly rated television movie have just solidified her career on top of platinum and gold records. Her single, "When I See U", was the #2 R&B song of 2007. If you haven't purchased this woman's CD's, you're missing something special!.

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.

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 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!

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.

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...

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.
