Fantasia Barrino

I want to send prayers to her & her family (even the leeches). I'm truly sorry that she feels so hopeless. Things are so overwhelming at times. Many think that her 'riches' should have insulated from sadness, but we know that money doesn't buy happiness. As much as Madison Avenue wants us to believe that it does, happiness & joy have to be choices in our lives.

Frankly, having a PhD in Unauthorized Bedside Psychology, I can tell you that it is easy to see what has and is going on in Fantasia's life. If you believe her bio that was shown on Lifetime, she has suffered at the hands of men before. Here's my analysis: Fantasia sings like an songbird, but looks like a buzzard. No disrespect. But truth is truth. She is tall & has a more than decent body, but in the face not so cute. In her early life the father of her child kept her as a secret boo. A girl that he fucked in private & filled her head with ideas of secret love affairs & one days we will be together lies. Being a young girl who was tall, awkward, & goofy looking, Fantasia was easily susceptible to manipulation & false hopes. She becomes pregnant and this man drops her faster than a hot potato. She devastated.

She makes her lemons into lemonade, by getting on American Idol. And then she beats all the odds & wins the competitions. We all know she would have NEVER gotten a traditional record deal, because the music industry is only signing light skin, mixed, silky hair bitches who fuck for tracks (shout out to bossip). A dark brown girl with African features and short relaxed hair would never be put on these days. If you don't believe me, try to name three Black pop princesses that are dark....you can't. It's not the 90s anymore. Anyway, she wins Idol and things change. She has hit records, money and fame. Suddenly, she's becoming "attractive" to lots of men. One particular slick muthafucka, has her really wrapped. She believes everything he says. "I'm not married." "I'm legally separated." "I won't let anyone see these tapes, girl." "She's a bitch and doesn't understand me." "I love you and your daughter." Blah, blah, blah.... She is probably still starved for male attention. I'm not saying dark-skinned sisters can't get a man, I'm saying the world is filled with shallow, hateful, predatory men that know how to manipulate a vulnerable lady.

Psychiatric Help 5 cents. The Doctor is IN.

I love Fantasia's voice -- but anyone who has watched her closely knows what she lacks intellectually. That of course is no basis by which some Devils should feel entitled to victimize her - as seems to be the case in this mess of a situation. In addition to the Devil she fell for -- it seems those folks close to her (and those who depend of her for every inch of their lives) failed her completely and no one stopped the chaos and lies -- when it was likely many had reason to know this "person" was not who he portrayed himself to be. That is just as much a tragedy as Fantasia feeling the need to "escape" --- the folks who should be ready to go to war to protect her because she provides so much for them, simply did nothing. High Point and Charlotte are small and black folk really know each other -- so more likely than not, someone in her "entourage" knew this "devil's" background and his real story. She has no one around her who truly has her back -- that is the real tragedy of which no one is speaking.
