Comments on: Fantasia dropped by 19 Management? http://www.mjsbigblog.com/fantasia-dropped-by-19-management.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:45:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: bambambam http://www.mjsbigblog.com/fantasia-dropped-by-19-management.htm/comment-page-2/#comment-133705 bambambam Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:23:00 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/fantasia-dropped-by-19-management.htm#comment-133705 Simon's expression was a perfect symbol of how he has absolutely no comprehension of anything truly American -- country, for example, or the sanctified African-American church. I think it was about time 19 admitted they have nothing to do with the urban market, and no comprehension of the relationship between Fantasia and her fans, especially the ones who flocked to see her on Broadway. Of course, 19's style is more the harmless and accommodating Leona Lewis, whose massive pop music smash "Bleeding Love" peaked at No. 74 at black radio...even Amy Winehouse's album was a No. 4 urban album and Leona's not on that chart. Shows you the kind of positioning 19 prefers for a black artist. No shame on either side. Just admitting the truth about what 19 is in essence and what Fantasia is in essence.

Her voice has so many layers and so much character, I could listen to her all day. She's overcome so many obstacles, I don't think this girl knows how to quit. That kind of personality doesn't always quite fit with the big corporate mentality. But I have no doubt she'll land on her feet yet again.

I actually thought her performance was wicked! Loved it. I think Simon is a bit narrow minded sometimes.

She’s overcome so many obstacles, I don’t think this girl knows how to quit. That kind of personality doesn’t always quite fit with the big corporate mentality. But I have no doubt she’ll land on her feet yet again.

I am much more impressed with those talents willing to try new things and go in different directions then those who do the same thing over and over. (a la Daughtry and Underwood, not taking anything away from their talent and success) Add me to the Love Fantasia column.

She is fierce, outlandish and unique, but AI likes its cookie cutter idols, and she is that square peg. I loved her performance on AI, she did get the masses talking and after refried, reheated versions of generic trite songs, it was a welcome relief. Fortunately, it appears the the r/b community does "get her" and she will have an opportunity to share projects, and make her music.

If it was about money, they would have quietly dropped her. And the AI performance was exactly what the show loves--a water cooler moment that gets a strong reaction from the public. I think she's about to do something very un-Idol like, either with her music or another project, and they don't want to have any part of it. So they deliberately leaked the news of dropping her to EW, complete with a "creative differences" explanation, to get ahead of the story. I'm fine with her leaving 19. She didn't make cookie cutter music for the American Idol audience, so they had no use for her. They only acknowledged the existence of her second cd after it received 3 Grammy nominations. As a fan, you get used to the fact that Fantasia is a disaster when it comes to image and marketing. That's the way it has been, that's the way it always will be. Oprah has already sat her down to talk about it. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20202509,00.html?xid=rss-fullcontentcnn If Oprah can't get through to her, I don't think anyone can. But as long as she has her voice, she will have a career. This is the track that is floating around the internet as a possible single for her third album. It doesn't sound controversial to me, but you never know with Idol. http://blogs.sohh.com/soul/2008/06/fantasia_goes_f.html I doubt this was about money or her AI performance.

I think she will be around for a long, long time , perhaps much longer than some currently more successful alumni. Fantasia is very unique in a good way. That “bore me” performance is extraordinary.

Something tells me there's a lot more to the story than the "insider" is divulging. I'm a relatively new Fantasia fan, having first seen her perform with Elliott at the IGB thingie...her genuineness, talent and interaction with the children made a huge impression on me. Then, I went into Fannie fandom overdrive after that AI performance. Yes, WICKED is right! The Simons are freakin' clueless. Go 'head on Fantasia, you are the shit, girl!!!
