I loved Loretta Divine and Kadeem Hardison(sp). I wanted to kick Rodney but I love the actor who played him. He's from Half n Half and I can't think of his real name. Can't wait till her new cd comes out.

Loretta had that special voice you cant miss, just like Kadeem does (it WAS nice to see "Dewayne Wayne" again)

Theron Benymon played Rodney (young fantasia was on half and half one ep too)

and what irony in timing - Viola Davis who plays her mother also plays the mother at the hospital in World Trade Center which i just saw too - and for those 2 minutes she had she did a GREAT job in that movie too

and debbie allen directed it!!

I wonder what the real Rodney thinks now. I hope he's kicking himself.

'Idol 3' winner Fantasia Barrino wows 'em at Aretha Franklin tribute

UPI News Service, 09/09/2006

"American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino was getting raves Saturday for her performance at the taping of a tribute to Aretha Franklin in Hollywood.

The Los Angeles Daily News described Fantasia's take on Aretha's classics "Rock Steady" and "Baby, I Love You" as being of "tore the roof" off quality.

Fantasia was among a gaggle of stars, including Natalie Cole, Ruben Studdard and Bebe Winans who covered Franklin's hits as part of a benefit for the United Negro College Fund.

The special will be aired in January.

What will be fantasia's first single from her new CD, "Hood Boy," is up on her myspace page: link. It's hot.

And here is an out of breath Fantasia singing "I Feel Beautiful," apparently another song from her forthcoming CD

They sound really hot. I love love love Hood Boy, When I See You, and I feel Beautiful. They all sound strong...she apparently recorded 23 songs in the process of making the CD and then had to narrow it down...

From the Boston Herald:

Fantasia
Hood Boy
J Records
A bold-voiced gospel singer belting out dirty r & b? Fantasia’s not the first to transform church choir talent into tunefully funky soul, she’s just the first to do it with OutKast’s Big Boi rhyming hard behind her. From the moment she belted out the “Porgy and Bess” standard “Summertime” on “American Idol” - a performance that helped her win the TV contest’s third crown - the public has expected big things. Well, “Hood Boy” is big - and it has a shot at being her biggest single to date (it’s already been streamed a quarter of a million times on her MySpace page). Over a hip-hopped-up Motown sample from the Supremes’ “The Happening,” Fantasia sings like Mahalia Jackson testifying to the almighty groove. Not content to stay in one place too long, she punctuates the lyrics with a staccato cadence and mid-register wails and moans of “yeah, yeah, yeah!,” while Big Boi’s slow flow rhyme serves as great foil to Fantasia’s funk. The first single off her self-titled sophomore album, which drops Dec. 12, “Hood Boy” reinforces Fantasia’s spot as the most genuine, earthy and - sorry, Kelly Clarkson - talented American Idol.

I love Fantasia but I really wish she'd get a better stylist.

According to AOL Black Voices, she's getting ready to do a 30 city tour with Jamie Foxx and Snoop Dogg (if he's out of jail, according to Jamie Foxx, lol)
