Fantasia has been to a dark, dark place and come out the other side. Now she wants to sing for you, and folks who have been there – For a long time, Fantasia was struggling. The rock and soul singer won “American Idol” in 2004, but she spent the next few years dealing with tabloid stories about her weight and financial health and a woman accusing her of breaking up her marriage. In 2010, she tried to commit suicide by taking too many sleeping pills and aspirin. So for years, when she sang overcoming-adversity songs like “Lose to Win” and “Side Effects of You,” they came from a dark place. “It’s a different feeling now,” says the singer born Fantasia Barrino, by phone from her home in Charlotte, N.C. “The way I sing it now, I know there’s someone in the audience who may be going through that. I went through that! I had my process. I sing it loud and I sing it proud and I sing it with a meaning and I sing it with a feeling. I used to sing it in pain. I’m no longer in pain.” – Read more at Chicago Tribune
