Fantasia Barrino Does Not Choose Her Songs Well by Seun(m): 8:26am On Jul 09, 2007 |
Fantasia Barrino's failure to really succeed in the music industry really frustrates me. She has every reason to succeed: vocal talent, looks, age, charisma. So why isn't she doing so well: because she's choosing the wrong songs. This is sad because even a baby watching American idol would have chosen better songs for her. Here is a lady that charmed all of us by single Aretha Franklin type songs and won the American Idol competition, only to start releasing Hip Hop and RnB tracks, choosing a Rapper as her role model. Hello? Did you win the American Idol competition by rapping? Did you win American Idol by singing hiphop? Why change a winning style? Fantasia Barrino's best singing style can be described in various words: 'gospel', 'screamer', 'Aretha Frankling type'. She should be singing a mixture of simple pop songs involving a lot of 'screaming' and inspirational/gospel music because that's what she does best. She shouldn't think that being black means doing hiphop. She is not that kind of black. She is a Mary J Blidge kind of black. A good girl 'gospel' type. And if she wants to sing love songs, she should sing songs about love going well. And the decision to dedicate her first albums to 'baby mamas'? Very wrong. Baby Mamas have no money to buy your CDs, girl! Want more proof that her song choice is bad: her only number 1 song "[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Believe_%28Fantasia_song%29]I Believe[/url]" was an American Idol song. |

Maybe I'm just complaining because I'm not a great fan of hip-hop or "black music" generally. |

Fantasia cant sing, thats a given. I personally dont care for her new CD, but to compare her to MJB i have no words. The Queen of hip hop soul and Fantasia cant be placed in the same catergory. there levels aren't the same. Time and time again MJB has proven herself, her albums are classic, look at the ppl she has worked with even. Saying Fantasia is "a Mary J Blidge kind of black. A good girl 'gospel' type" is wrong, they are as different as night and day. But yeah her song choices are not that great, i taught she wrote all her songs? |

The only word that can be used to describe her is boring. She lacks creativity |

Not choosing her songs very well , there is a twist to that one. She can sing, that's for sure. What she cannot do is write, and therefore she is reliant on others (her producers) to pick the songs for her. She is also not exactly blessed with an overdose in the brains department, and therefore accept what people (read morons) plan for her. |
Re: Fantasia Barrino Does Not Choose Her Songs Well by Seun(m): 11:14pm On Jul 09, 2007 |
She may not be able to write good songs, and in fact most performers do not write their songs, but she should be able to say, "this song is bad for me!" or "get me a songwriter who does gospel". It's so important. |

The girl is good jare you guys should stop hating and write your own songs |

Her current best-selling song is nothing special except for the raunchy music video! Sex sells even Fantasia! |

i dont know wat y'alls talking abt,i think fantasia is an excellent singer. if she cant write songs then who's been writing all those lovely songs for her,including when i see you,truth is,even hood boy etc FYI most artiste dnt write there own songs nd most of them that write cant sing *so wats d fuss. pls i like her style abeg.She's shown that she is very versatile, she doesnt ve to do the gospel thingy d"hood boy" track rily suits her. wait a minute who's giving some of u ideas that she's nt doing well becos she has a hiphop star as her role model wat do y'all think mary j blige sings,jazz? na its called hip hop nd r'n'b Seun:dat simply doesnt make sense to me, wen peple dedicate songs to fallen soldiers, dead people,children etc does it mean that does are the only people allowed to buy the cd.gosh i cant believe wat i'm seeing here nd then comin from U ,its unbelievable. did u kno that baby mamas simply means single mothers nd did u know that some celebs are single mothers nd most of em are doing rily wel. abt the love going well,her life b4 american idol wasnt all fairy tale therefore her/people songs are reflections on her/there lives. i'm sorry but this thread is all so annoying esp. this post. i cant even stand it, @least nt from . . . . . i' ouut b4 i cry,lol |
