AMERICAN IDOL winner FANTASIA BARRINO shocked guests of an American breakfast show by forcing them out of the greenroom so that she could use it as a dressing room. The 19-year-old blues singer performed on THE EARLY SHOW yesterday (02JUN04) and demanded that the other guests - including an ESQUIRE editor and a teen who'd lost 250 pounds (113 kilograms) - were shepherded "into the bowels of CBS somewhere". LEIGH FARRIS, spokeswoman of American TV station CBS says, "To my knowledge, she did not request it. Whenever we have live performers, we give them the whole greenroom, because it's bigger." http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/0/BD744A8D6E23806A80256EA8005AFC6B!opendocument

This is contradictory and to me anyway doesn’t really make a lot of sense. In the first paragraph it states that Fantasia “shocked guests of an American breakfast show by forcing them out of the greenroom so that she could use it as a dressing room”. In the next paragraph it states that a CBS spokesperson said, “To my knowledge, she did not request it. Whenever we have live performers, we give them the whole greenroom, because it's bigger." These are completely contradictory statements. So what’s the point? The point to me seems to be to make Fantasia look bad.

I agree, Jimmer. She is new to the scene and has shown she is dazzled and humble to the entire scene. Nonsense. Her detractors will latch on this, just watch.

It sounds to me like people were put in the green room mistakenly, someone then realized that they needed it for Fantasia and asked the people to leave saying that they needed them out for Fantasia and one of the people got huffy and assumed that it was Fantasia herself asking for them out not that it was part of the normal procedure.
