Fantasia American Idol

Was Fantasia one of the best? Fantasia's CD is released today. Home girl had yet another date with me this past Saturday that she cancelled. But yet she's been parading all through New York City with Missy Elliot and such. She even showed up on the "Today Show."

She performed "When I See You" -- as usual the voice was sweet as hell but is American Idol Fantasia still america's favorite.

Here is my prediction: The people who voted Fantasia American Idol will for sake her at the cash register this week. Sure, she will make a splash in album sales, but I venture to say that Fanny has made the same mis-step that Monica did. They confused their day job with their personal life.

Both women contend that they wanted to express their more urban side. They wanted to sing something that reflects who they really are. Survey says... WRONG! Both of these Clive Davis vixens just like Whitney Houston seem to forget that they built their fan base by being what we wanted them to be. Black girls that still sing like black girls but they sing songs that are still appropriate for the adult contemporary stations... like "Truth Is" and "Free Yourself"... not songs like "Hood Boy" and "Baby Making Hips." Not even songs like Monica's "Sideline Hoe" or "Errrrtime the Beat Drops."

What is it that happens when Missy gets into these girls pants heads? Monica is the new Tweet and Tasia is the new Monica.... Jump ship now Tasia, "Truth Is" a "Hood Boy" doesn't make enough to buy you platinum plaques. But that voice is sweet. A shame isn't it?

THE STREETS ONLY UPGRADES BEYONCE

And speaking of DING! ...if you haven't heard Beyonce is giving SONY the middle finger yet again. The label told her that they weren't financing anymore videos from that flop B'Day so she is going to pay for videos for "Upgrade" and "Greenlight" out of her own pocket. Read about it here.

"Audemar Piguet... gotcha rocking' purple labels... hey, partner let me upgrade you!"
