Fantasia has been scream singing here lately. She would've just tried to scream over the others. This was a great performance.

I HATE THE WAY FANTASIA SCREAMS AND HAS THE AUDACITY TO CALL IT SINGING.
RUNNING AROUND WITH YOUR SHOES OFF AND SCREAMING TO THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS AND OUT OF TUNE LIKE A WILD LUNATIC IS NOT SINGING.
THE UNCF RECENTLY DID A TRIBUTE TO CHAKA KHAN. I REALLY ENJOYED THE TRIBUTE AND CALLED FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO MAKE SURE THEY MADE A TRIBUTE TO UNCF. THE ONLY PERSON WHO I DID NOT LIKE WAS FANTASIA. SHE CAME OUT ON STAGE LIKE A WILD BULL, KICKING OFF HER SHOES AND RUNNING AROUND THE STAGE LIKE A CRAZED NUT WHILE SHOUTING AND SCREAMING TOO THE TOP OF HER LUNGS. IT WAS A REAL DISGRACE.
ALL OF THE OTHER ENTERTAINERS WERE VERY CLASSY AND THEY ALL HAD BEAUTIFUL VOICES. I WAS GLAD THAT THEY PUT FANTASIA ON FIRST WHICH MADE IT EASIER TO ENJOY THE REST OF THE SHOW.
I AM SO GLAD THAT THE GRAMMY'S DID NOT ASK FANTASIA TO SING.
I ENJOYED THE TRIBUTE TO ARETHA AND I THOUGHT ALL OF THE SINGERS DID A GREAT JOB.
BTW FANTASIA CLAIMS ARETHA IS HER IDOL YET SHE APPEARS TO BE CHANNELING PATTI LABELLE. IF FANTASIA IS SUCH AN IDOL OF ARETHA'S THEN I WONDER WHY ARETHA HASN'T ASKED HER TO PLAY HER IN A FILM ABOUT ARETHA'S LIFE?

Fantasia was singing "Somebody Loves Ya Baby" in the style she's seen Patti Lavelle sing it - with her shoes off, running around on the stage and screaming!" She was sing "Somebody Love Ya Patty" instead of "Somebody Loves Ya Baby".
If you watched Patti Lavelle's response while she was singing - Pattie "got it"!

@ SpeakingSpirit
FANTASIA WAS PAYING TRIBUTE TO CHAKA KHAN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT A U.N.C.F. EVENT.
FANTASIA WAS SINGING ONE OF CHAKA'S SONG AND SHE RAN OUT ON THE STAGE AND IMMEDIATELY KICKED HER SHOES OFF AND RAN BACK AND FORTH ACCROSS THE STAGE JUMPING AND SCREAMING LIKE A WILD CHILD.
IT WAS INDEED A DISGRACE.
FANTASIA HAS CLOWNED AROUND ON STAGE LIKE THIS MANY TIMES LIKE SHE IS PERFORMING IN SOME SORT OF SANCTIFIED CHURCH.
BTW....PATTI LABELLE WAS NOT AT CHAKA'S U.N.C.F. EVENT. FANTASIA CAN'T REALLY SING SO SHE IS TRYING TO BRING THE THEATRICS TO HER PERFORMANCE THE WAY PATTI DOES.
HERE ARE TWO PERFORMANCES OF FANTASIA SINGING A CHAKA KHAN SONG:

No it was not. Three of these ladies could not find soul if you gave it to them.
