Artist:Fantasia
Song:Two Weeks Notice
Album:Fantasia
Of course Fantasia Barrino will forever be associated with American Idol. But it looks like the AI folks have figured out that they'll never be able to sell her as a pop singer and should let her be what she really is. She was born June 30, 1984 in High Point, NC. Her parents are gospel performers and toured regionally in the South. She got pregnant in high school and was a mom at age 17. Obviously winning American Idol was her big break and got her a record contract with Clive Davis' J Records. Her first CD Free Yourself did OK but it underperformed. What they learned with this latest CD is focus on Fanrasia's R & B roots and don't try and turn her into a pop singer. I find her vocals a little out of control at times but she seems to have calmed down a bit. It's something she still needs to work on. Two Weeks Notice is a very strong breakup ballad written & produced by Missy Elliott. The CD charted as well as the first one but the music is stronger and simply more focused. She also works with Jill Scott producers Vidal Davis & Andre Harris. Fantasia clearly has great vocal ability. Clive Davis just needs to let her be herself. Here's the video for When I See U by Fantasia.
