Fantasia Barrino, Fantasia Barrino - I Believe / Chain of Fools / Summertime

Very Good

The club in Mobile, AL was bumping "Chain of Fools" and I had to have this CD. It is a good reminder of how Fantasia took over American Idol. February 13, 2007

Easily The Best American Idol/ Also Best Single By An Idol

Not much to say about these songs because tasia is in a league of her own so what's more to say that this is the best single produced by an american idol really amazing. props 2 the diva Fantasia. November 19, 2005

A wonderfully unique talent

Fantasia is a remarkable young woman whose natural talent is so unique, so original, so refreshing in today's look-alike, sound-alike pop world. Frankly, I'm perplexed as to why there's so many vicious personal attacks on her, as a person, as well as on her abilities. I also question the motives of some of the more cruel so-called "reviews" left by some people who seem to be more interested in exacting revenge for Diana not winning AI than in truly reviewing Fantasia's work. Fantasia deserves R-E-S-P-E-C-T and is most certainly deserving of praise. Her interpretation of "I Believe" is inspirational and moving and I, personally, find her voice to be beautiful. Of course, as with anything, beauty is in the eye (or "ear") of the beholder. HOWEVER, it's one thing to not like the tone of her voice or the production of the music or even her choice of songs or how they were arranged, but quite another when a "reviewer" with an obvious agenda is trying to be "hurtful" rather than "helpful." Spiteful, personal attacks are NOT reviews and are inappropriate in this venue. August 29, 2005

THE 2004 Show Stopper

Nothing on AI this year has come even close to Fantasia singing "Summertime". I still get goose bumps thinking about it. May 4, 2005
