Soooooooooooooooooo awesome! She is beautiful, talented and maintains her decency on stage. The greatest performer since Whitney. Can't wait to see her again in Georgia.
Brap brap WICKED a young Tina Turner, Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin rolled into 1. What a voice what a talented woman. Blessings from above Amen still listening in 2020.
A powerhouse singer like her has the ability to compromise between the intended style of the song or showcasing their vast and powerful range. Best singer on Idol!
Fantasia will always be my favorite but I believe what Simon was trying to say is she over did it and she should have simplified it. It was have been just as great, even better. And I noticed last year, she had a habit of screeching and she doesn't do that anymore. She is the BEST singer of this generation, thus far.
Techincally it doesn't matter what we think because the Man hiself Elton John Loved it, Elton is like E F hutton Lol!!! when he says he doesn't like it then we can comment
I doubt racism has anyting to do with who got voted for .I don't know anything about american idol, I was just watching a few on youtube past few hours. I came here because I randomly clicked on a fantasia link. She's beautiful singer, even though I don't know music at all. I came here and I see all of the fighting and disagreement among the people who DO follow the show. Personally, I think you people aren't seeing the forest through the trees. Fantasia can sing. That's all that matters. To my ears she's indistinguishable from any famous singer. This show shouldn't stop someone like her from doing her craft. That's the bottom line. If she's good and the show's voters ignore it, that's their fault.
Well I totally agree with him. And here are my five cents ... sometimes a song can be performed very simple and more natural without having all the high and low notes compressed which sounds to me often more beautiful.
yeh, she is wonderful. and she wanted everyone to know where she is coming from, the book, the film. this is a bit of the cosmos coming back to us. left with Aretha, Whitney came back as Fantasia. no doubt about that.
attention idol fans the time as come to start requesting her new single "collard greens and cornbread" on your local radio station and buy it on itunes
@cellerosvision Well Fantasia was the only contestant that had the honor to sing at Elton John tribute singing sorry seems to be the hardest word had Elton in tears you need to look up the video. Anyway I love me some Tasia and for future reference years after Idol Sir Elton still says Fantasia was his favorite and Season 3 was the best season Ever
Tashia voice is a force 2 b wreckon with! She's a beast, I think she is so undrated! She just might need to get rid of whomeva is writting her material. She should be up there with Biance by now! But she is still at a beginner stage of her music! I would love 2 hear her and Leandria from Sunday Best sing something 2gether! I would prob loose my mind if that eva happend LOL!!!!!
@ntv5000 thats not funnie thats juss mean and i knoe this was 7 months ago and this might have changed ... and if yu still dont think she cant sing after hearing one of her songs on "Back to me" honestly ... oh nevermind cuz i dont have anything nice to say ... have a blessed day =)
Agent you need to go to a African American Church ⛪️ and listen to the choir and it will have you jumping up and down before you leave out those doors and feeling on top of the world 🌎.#OBP
yeah... people just don't get Fantasia. And thats cool, but don't cut her down. Shes REALLY not a recording artist though. I've heard some of the crap they've put her voice to on albums.. and it really sucks hard. But when shes been on Broadway or doing ANY other live performance? INCREDIBLE! I think the album media just loses her energy in the translation or something. And her energy is .... FANTASTIC. Hence her name... Her mom apparently resaw this or something.
@stardusth2o Simon never sang in his life perhaps, he certainly knows the business of music better but he does not understand music like Randy. I guess he is waiting for the good ole days of Dr. Do Little's music. Give him some sweet melodies from "happy days" and he be fine.
completely agree. her kind of voice used to be celebrated until all these britney-barbie types came along and suddenly the "acceptable standard" for musical talent became some nasally, pitchy, flat voice with little true emotion and soul. fantasia's kind of voice was celebrated in Aretha and Patti's day - i appreciate clean singing as well but you're completely right - this is SOUL.
1.put your hand over your mouth 2.make a wish in your hand 3.make it into a fist 4.put against your heart for 5 seconds 5.put this on 3 videos 6.tomorrow will be the best day of your life
@taurusg32 Aretha can still sing, however in the 80's Aretha was starting to lose her voice because she smoked 40 cigarettes a day.(According to Aretha herself she stopped in 1991 because she admitted that it ruined her voice) Fantasia on the other hand does not smoke so I highly doubt she will be like the current Aretha.
Simon was right...but this could be said about pretty much any of her performances. I think she's more fit to gospel and maybe R&B but not contemporary pop!!!
This was the last era I've watched American Idol so many memories 😁.
This woman was a pro from the beginning. A born entertainer.
She had the Best performance this Season mixed it up and didn't have one bad performance No one was in her lane
She makes me feel I can sing so effortlessly. She did every song like a pro.
Her attitude is one of her strongest asserts! Yes, she's fantastic!!💟💟💟
Just a BEAUTIFUL SOUL!! BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED!!😇🙏❤
She just makes Me teary eyed!!!
She makes me teary eyed too.....from throwing up...she destroyed this song.....
Love me some Tasia. She is just the best with a great attitude and didnt let Simon get in her head. Anionted!!
I love her rendition of "Summer Time"
Me toooo!!
Soooooooooooooooooo awesome! She is beautiful, talented and maintains her decency on stage. The greatest performer since Whitney. Can't wait to see her again in Georgia.
Lord lord! Im still watching my girl sing. Love you Fantasia!!❤
Brap brap WICKED a young Tina Turner, Patti Labelle and Aretha Franklin rolled into 1.
What a voice what a talented woman. Blessings from above Amen still listening in 2020.

Why do I feel like I'm in 2050 watching something great from the past? This is a classic! WOW
How about watching it in 2024? An ancient relic?
I Love Fantasia, I love Elton John!!!!
had never heard this song before this performance, and i must say she rocked it!!!
I love the gospel-like version of this...I wish her version got more recognition
yeah!!!!!! FANTASIA you're still the best American idol!!!!!!
They were already prepping her for success by the way she entered into the song.
+_______ _________ when they gave her the song i believe they gave her the win. she sang that song!
A powerhouse singer like her has the ability to compromise between the intended style of the song or showcasing their vast and powerful range. Best singer on Idol!
I love this women and knowing her history makes me love her more ,She so deserving of this competition and she will win .
Gorgeous woman gorgeous voice

Simon says he loved her. Aww Simon. But, Simon rarely gave her negative critiques. I love her for not letting Simon get to her.
What are you guys talking about?! She is the bomb! I don't care what you guys have to say! She is and forever will be my American Idol.
Beautiful woman ❤️
I love this.
Fantasia will always be my favorite but I believe what Simon was trying to say is she over did it and she should have simplified it. It was have been just as great, even better. And I noticed last year, she had a habit of screeching and she doesn't do that anymore. She is the BEST singer of this generation, thus far.
She has a very smooth voice ...very nice....

U Always Take My Breathe Away When U Sing.SSQFT
Simon had to be critical of her performance to keep her fans on their toes and make sure we voted.
I doubt racism has anyting to do with who got voted for .I don't know anything about american idol, I was just watching a few on youtube past few hours. I came here because I randomly clicked on a fantasia link. She's beautiful singer, even though I don't know music at all. I came here and I see all of the fighting and disagreement among the people who DO follow the show. Personally, I think you people aren't seeing the forest through the trees.
Fantasia can sing. That's all that matters. To my ears she's indistinguishable from any famous singer. This show shouldn't stop someone like her from doing her craft. That's the bottom line. If she's good and the show's voters ignore it, that's their fault.
Very well written/said. I agree with you.
WOW
wow
woooooow!
Was Simon watching a whole different performance? What screeching? Where?
Simon is always on point. Overall, she did a great job but she didn't need to overdo it. A more subdued performance would have sufficed.
Well I totally agree with him. And here are my five cents ... sometimes a song can be performed very simple and more natural without having all the high and low notes compressed which sounds to me often more beautiful.
LOVE THE EARRINGS
The next whitney houston.. powerful voice...Miss Fantasia...
she will be on gma this morning and behind the music tonight
Simon gets on my nerves bt I like him. And WHY does he keep saying her name like that!!!!!!!!!!!
BrownBeauty XOXO ....he is in love with her.
yeh, she is wonderful. and she wanted everyone to know where she is coming from, the book, the film. this is a bit of the cosmos coming back to us. left with Aretha, Whitney came back as Fantasia. no doubt about that.
AMEN

1goldbaby She looks the same. She got braces. That's all.
The way he simon said her name ...lol
@averagehomosapien Actually that scratching means she is going about two or three octaves to high to the point where her voice almost can't handle it.
No studio version?
She. Is. Even. Better. Than Beyonce. Mom e soul. Her singing. Touches your soul
what's he supposed to say, he hated it? He wouldn't do that on T.V
@lspratle5 so right
she can sing alright
"the birth of mah chald"
@TopazSkillMauler This performance was almost over five years ago and she not a hooker. As a matter of fact shes very successful
Tashia voice is a force 2 b wreckon with! She's a beast, I think she is so undrated! She just might need to get rid of whomeva is writting her material. She should be up there with Biance by now!

Love the beginning up to the middle part.. but the end was quite too much..

she has a different style. you don't always have to hold a note
@seraph01972 ... er .. foresaw.. oopsie.
Simon was right...but this could be said about pretty much any of her performances. I think she's more fit to gospel and maybe R&B but not contemporary pop!!!
She she surrounded by white folks and they loved her..I love it.
