Maybe that's why she's added testimony to her appearances lately. At a recent promotional appearance Fantasia told the crowd,
"I’m going through this phase in my life where I am tired of pleasing people. The key word is “My Life.” And I have to live it, and what I do is…I use my life as a testimony to help other people. Humans, people who really go through things. And not to long ago, I went through something, I really don’t wanna re-live, I don’t wanna ever be back in that place again. So I’m going to use this album and me getting on the stage to let loose and let free and tell my testimony every day because I’m never afraid or ashamed of who I am. So now I’m going to free myself again.
Me being in the studio and recording, I look back now and all the songs I did and it’s like… Man, I was preparing myself for all the things that happen. The songs came before the situations, it’s crazy but “EVEN ANGELS” have to learn how to fly. So, I was laying there in the hospital bed and I began to think about my journey so far and I had to learn how to fly again. Even though I’ve been doing this for six years now and I plan on going so much further. Coming out… I had to learn how to fly again so, now I’m ready."
They say Fanny uses a variation of this speech at before every appearance.

Well 122K isn't bad...I mean, have you seen what these chicks are selling these days? Toni Braxton = 54K, Kelis = 7,000, Dondria = 9,000, Letoya Luckett = 30K...the list goes on.
The cd was pretty good and I got it.
Despite her controversy (read: ho antics), R&B isn't really selling these days anyway, so for her to reach over 100k album sales considering the album is strictly R&B and her singles are nowhere in sight on the BB Hot 100, I'd say that's pretty fucking good.
Now, that ho bag Katy Perry not crossing the 200k threshold with her irritating shit spending weeks at the top of the charts and having A-list promotion...
it's a recession! Folks trying to keep the lights on and food in the fridge so that's pretty decent sales. And damn she is right, the trials and tribulations that souls must go through on their journey to heaven if we be so lucky aint easy, why judge and condemn. Why do the devils work for him? Bless and be blessed.
I'm burnt out on this low budget whore.
Next!!
I don't think 122k is that bad either it could have been much worse.Like I said i'mma buy it too...legally.The only reason why i'm buying it is because about 3 days ago I heard her sing some songs from the album on AOL sessions and she sounded good...real good actually.It kinda reminded me of her first album which was good and she did actually sing some songs from the first cd that made me remember why I used to like her.
Overal Fantasia=good singer+good performer-hot ass mess of a life and sometimes unlikeable person.IMO
LMAO cuz i'm numba 1
I want to also add that her and Kelly Clarkson are the only American Idols still in the game and making relevant music...where is Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, hell I don't even remember the rest of 'em...
^^Wrong because Carrie Underwood is kicking ass in Country Music.
@1:53 Read some of what they say about Carrie Underwood's music. She's like the Beyonce of her genre: Overexposed, dumb as a box of rocks and fake as they come, especially around other female artists.
SHE'S NUMBER 2 ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS!!!!!! TAKE THAT BIOTCHHHHHHH!
she needs a bra and thigh master in that picture,her thighs are going to start a fire.
@ 2:01
Interesting. I certainly didn't know that.
And I'm reposting this for those who may not go into the Jay Z thread:
OT: I wanted to let my fellow Snitchers in on the latest tea regarding Marcus Jordan and his fuckery on Twitter last week. My local Fox5 affiliate here in Vegas has a segment called 'The Rant' where they allow the locals to call/email them regarding shit that's bugging us. Welp, when I saw the post that Snitch put up about Marcus's tweet, I promptly sent a rant via email telling them that he was on Twitter bragging about spending a ridiculous amount of money at Haze and that I didn't understand why [some] nightclubs insist on breaking the law when it somes to underage celebs [or the underage children of celebs]. Welp, thanx to my rant [which was read that night on-air], Fox5 scooped all of the other local news shows who up until the other day, hadn't mentioned anything about Marcus or his tweet. Here's where shit gets real: because of what that idiot posted, MGM Resorts International [owners of Aria, the hotel/casino where Haze is located] have some SERIOUS 'splainin' to do because they are now being investigated by the Gaming Control Board. Sucks to be them. *giggling*
Sorry so long.
nice to see ghetto never goes out of style...she lookin' extra ghetto too.
"MOVE ON ME" IS MA JAM GO FANNY b!
@2:39
Your mama looks extra ghetto but ain't nobody putting her extra ghetto ass down.
Glad that its all about you and not your kid you dumb bitch.
Over 100K in this day & age is VERY Impressive... Fantasia doesn't have the WHOLE INDUSTRY MACHINE behind her like Eminem, Bey, A-Keys, 50, Jay-Z and the Pop YT Folks !!!
The key for her is sustaining STEADY SALES through the Fall and Timing her Hot singles even past the holiday season (Real...)
If she had not come out talking that stupid shit she been talking about regarding her skin color, and lying about the dumb shit she been involved with, maybe the numbers would have been higher, Fantasia comes off as an IDIOT now.
BULL. SHIT. The testimony seems as genuine as the suicide attempt. It all comes across as staged and scripted for her show and CD.
And that's how I feel about that.
And what in all Samuel Adams Jackson Hell is she wearing?
No thanks. I'm not contributing to her Fake Suicide by Children's Aspirin fund.
^^^LMBO!!!
She's tired of pleasing people so she put that ghetto hoe outfit on to prove what?????
that she's still the same girl from that ghetto lifetime movie, she need to please herself into some dignity and a gym
Where she performing at, Tyler Perry's casting party, who are all those heavy set church folk
@3:51 PM
Cosign!!
lol! 9:17 said "heavy set"
insert Beavis & Butthead laugh here>>>
Okay first of all, what is she wearing in the picture??!?
Her album is number 1. Check it out.
@3:23 pm, fantasia? is that you?
@3:51
She won't sustain sales. She'll have a huge drop and the album will flop. The whole point was to get her to #1 with a sorry suicide story which happened but not enough people believe the story for the album to maintain sales and do well. She's done!
LMAO@ 7:14
Fantasia is a clown.
Sorry to say with the internet now....we can basically cop this ish for free. Sorry...lol. I haven't brought a CD in ages unless it is a good artist like Sade or Maxwell and so on. Fantasia? Um Nope....not after her homewrecker shit. Not buying it.
Damn shame...I know most of her non supporters were women. Because that's who does the majority of the bitchin and whining on these blogs. Fuck that!!!!Every Bitch ain't new to how things somethimes goes down in life. I just wish all these same women stuck together like this when the man is at fault. Remember these things can't take place alone!!! Women ya'll know how niggas lie lie LIE!!! And ya'll support the man, while thiking of some ridiculous excuse to save his sorry ass. i.e. Jayz...he has 3 children and don't claim any, but will have "Howdy Doodie"(Jules)a lot of the time. This nigga is wrong. Not only is it unfair to the single mothers, but also to his seeds. They need more than money from him. But oh no!!! He's a great dude because he knows how to make words rhyme on a beat.*sarcasm* That means more than anything.
I just feel before we start beating up the sistas, We beat the hell out of the man first. He promised God he'd be a faithful husband. Not Fantasia! Not saying she was right, but we women let men get away with so much. That's why they do some of the things they do. Getting away with it is just too easy. All woment should stick together. Hold those Niggas accountable. Whether he's your man or someone else's. This is serious. I stopped speaking to my best friend (male) because he took his role as a father of two beautiful kids sooo nonchalantly. Not spending anytime with them. Here it is he still has his parents together, Yet he's too stupid to realize that black children especially need their fathers. I don't support him and I've told him why. And I don't wanna hear shit from him because he is dead wrong!
I got it I like it and being number 2 on the charts ain't bad. Whatever people think of Tasia I think she is talented and can sing her black ass off. Big up's to Tasia. Collards and Cornbread
Fantasia can sing but if I had to compare her against Jennifer Hudson? Jenn would win by a long shot.
Fantasia screams too much with her voice which is too much like Pattie Labelle screaming squieeeky sounding ass. Jennifer sings from the stomach.
That stunt you pulled Fanta is a no no and dont EVER DO IT AGAIN!!!
Sorry ya'll I love Fanny mae, but let's be real sometimes she comes across really slothful and uneducated!!! The girl got pipes for days but the quality of her music is to ghetto-urbanish, she needs to make music that moves you, not just relate to being somebody's girl, or being broke down and out! To me honestly this shit was all a stunt to sell units!!! Cuz if her music was really thought provoking and moving, she wouldn't have all this gripe about her cheating ass ways!!! People need to stop acting like these celebs are God, because at the end of the day, when they die they can't take a damn thing with them anyways! So Fanny make real Soul music, not this shit the shaynita, and tay tay can relate to, but make your music for all people!!! Talent is just to low quality now a days!!!
one word - bra...
laughing at all the negativity on this comment post, people have nothing good to say about anything, cause they are soo jacked up themselves, stop pointing fingers and look in the mirror, she may have been through a who hasnt the only diffrence is she is staying true to who she really is, while others are conforming to what society thinks they should be, i support her because she is doing what alot of artist are not, which is never forgetting where she comes from and where she is right now in her life, its all apart of her testimony.if you dont like her , so what who care, if you dont support her, so what who cares, im sure alot of people have a few choice things they could say about you to, but again who cares, fantasia is a talented woman, period, and now adays we dont have pure talent, no she is not a size 2, no she is not light skinned with long hair, but she is a beautiful woman who represents where i come from!! so keep all the negativity to yourselfs, and better yourself!!, oh yea her cd is number one!!!!!!!!
her talent is her talent, and some people must feel it , you may not but obviously some do!!!!! why waste time bringing someone down, how many degrees do you have, how established are you, how articulate are you? yea exactly, you feel you good , you aint trying to please one, well take it as she aint either, fantasia, is diffrent, but so what!! thats what makes the original artist out there love her so much, the arethas, the patti"s, the real singers the real artist, so who cares what yall think, there will always be a million hatas but for every internet thug hata, she a million and one fans!!!!
I might just go out and cop this cd. I ain't mad at ya Tasia.
