She's got mortgage bills to pay!!!

Former American Idol contestant Fantasia is set to star in her own reality TV show on VH1.

The series will premiere early 2010 and will document Fantasia's life as an artist and single mother.

Yawnsville!

According executive vp of original programming at VH1, Jeff Olde, "Her [Fantasia's] challenges from fame and her unwillingness to fail have combined to create a larger-than-life talent who appeals to music lovers around the world. So many people wanted to work with her on this, but Fantasia is now part of the VH1 family, and we're so happy to have her."

Will U watch?

    1. 1

      Just another reason why I wont watch VH1… Can someone please bring back the music video?



    2. 2

      Nope, they probalbyl won't air it in Germany anyway



    3. 3

      Her career is far from over. She performs and people still lover her singing. She is not a fake singer, Fantasia is a bonafided SINGER!!!!! Get ur story str8!



    4. 4

      Oh God, wasn't the Lifetime made-for-TV movie enough? Who the hell cares anymore? Yawn…



    5. 5

      But she isn't an "Artist" she is somebody who sings songs other people have written. She is simply a paid entertainer.



    6. 6

      nope!! not a fan of fantasia!



    7. 7

      VH1 NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN FOR FORCING ALL THESE WACK ASS SHOW ON PPL…WHY CANT MY CABLE PROVIDER STOP CARRYING THIS CHANNEL? LOL…WELL AT LEAST ITS NOT A DATING SHOW…BUT THEY COULD ALWAYS HELP HER FIND WAYS TO PAY HER BACK TAXES, THAT MIGHT BE A PRIORITY RIGHT ABOUT NOW…LMAO



    8. 8

      Who?



    9. 9

      No way. Can't take another scritped 'reality' show .. just stop.



    10. 10

      NOT WITH THE OTHER OUTRAGOUSLY INTERESTING SHOWS LIKE FREAKIN ROCK OF LOVE AND NOW DAISY OF LOVE GOING ON! I CAN HANDLE THIS MUCH EXCITIMENT PEREZ!

      so gross.



    11. 11

      When did it ever start? TV is obsolete now. Unless you really want to see this sub par lady sing then their is no career. 400K in that lifestyle lasts about 4 months. Who wakes up and says I have to go pick up the new fantasia today?



    12. 12

      she really just needs to pay for her nails to be done all the time.. everyone has a "story" that could be put on tv and made into a show.. im starting to dislike tv these days



    13. 13

      Re: Nickysue – VH1 does play music videos still. And MTV is bringing back the old 2 hour format with MTV news in between(ten to the hour every hour)



    14. 14

      I enjoy music, and she doesn't appeal to me at all. Somebody at VH1 needs to step away from the crack pipe before making programming decisions!



    15. 15

      No way that sounds so stupid! I'm really sick of reality TV and how almost everything is turning into shows like these. Whats even more pathetic is that this person who isn't even famous is trying sooo desperately get noticed. Like anyone cares about her stupid life trying to be famous and be a single mom. I'd rather watch a documentary about a REAL single mom thats struggling to make it in the REAL world and facing REAL challenges unlike this loser who is just trying to get famous.



    16. 16

      I'll never watch this nitwit.



    17. 17

      love her!



    18. 18

      i find it funny in 20 years we'll all remember the "reality show" craze……



    19. 19

      Uhm, I wouldn't watch that if VH1 paid me. Fatass Cantreado needs to go back to school, then get her choppers shaved down. :)



    20. 20

      Re: actright – if she's so great, why is she broke? :)

    21. MP says – reply to this


      21

      Nope, won't watch. I can't stand her voice and don't know how she won Idol. I also don't think she's a role model for anyone.



    22. 22

      Ugghhh. Another Vh1 show to give a ton of crap about!!!



    23. 23

      I'm sorry but those nails are hideous!



    24. 24

      so whats next for you? your career never even started!



    25. 25

      Re: actright – I totally agree. She is awesome! I would watch…



    26. 26

      Nappy head
      Nappy head
      Eyes like a frog
      Roll your ass ovah
      I'll f*ck you like a dog.



    27. 27

      Fantasia…yikes. I haven't been able to stomach her since they went to her hometown for American Idol back in the day. Her kid, which she is so proud to be a single mother of, wanted to have a little camera time and fantasia practically knocked her over to get in front of the camera instead.
      That spoke volumes about her…
      NO



    28. 28

      Re: Charmer – I wanna fuck u until your assshole bleeeds!



    29. 29

      lol…really? I found a place that many players are hoo king up with h ot mo dels, seems the club called: __T all mingle Co M___, do you hear this before?



    30. 30

      She is so gross - I HATE THIS WOMAN - SKANKSVILLE



    31. 31

      Nothing wrong with that. I'd rather watch her than some toxic psycho like the octo-mom. At least Fantasia can actually do something.



    32. 32

      She looks good EXCEPT those nails GROSS WTF



    33. 33

      IE: Where's Sheena:: WTF? Did you grow up sleeping with a Dixie Flag As a blanket? War's over asshole



    34. 34

      Nope. Don't watch any of those lame "reality" shows that show up where music videos are supposed to be.



    35. 35

      VH1 sucks anyways.
      all those shows are fake and are not even entertaining.
      and i doubt anyone will watch this hasbeens show.



    36. 36

      UGH!! enough already! please! stop! Fantashia hasn't even been in the music biz in a while, and if she has, no one obviously is hearing from her!!! we really don't care what goes on in her life. Sorry! it's the truth! and it's just another lame reality show that we don't need on vh1. blahhh!



    37. 37

      heck yes… i love good reality.



    38. 38

      Maybe this bitch should go back to school, learn to read, and get a real job.
      .
      .
      Great role model for you kid there, r-tard



    39. 39

      VH1 has become the craddle of has-beens/wanna-bes trying to jump start their careers doing mediocre "reality" shows….
      More music, less stupid shows VH1!!!



    40. 40

      And why is her career over?? I can think of so many though who's careers I wish would end lol.



    41. 41

      Re: JigSaw – what's next for you? being sliced and diced by me?



    42. 42

      omg Fantasia is the greatest american idol winner ever!! her voice is amazingggg



    43. 43

      Of course…….ugh, those damn guilty pleasures.



    44. 44

      Hell yea I'll check her show out. I like her, she's such a talent. Too bad her music career has gone abunck though..



    45. 45

      Fuck that illiterate ghetto welfare bitch. There are plenty of single mothers out there busting their asses to make it. I'm one of them. Who the hell cares?



    46. 46

      Re: HolyofHolies – do you go by "hole"???



    47. 47

      NO WAY!!!



    48. 48

      Too Bad Fantasia but ya heard one , ya heard them all? Tina Turner you're not?



    49. 49

      Re: Blind Baby – Yes I am aware that the war is over, just like I know people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones (making fun of the handicapped, anyone?). Keep your trap closed cocksucker.



    50. 50

      I'll watch it!!!! I love FANTASIA…… :-) First of all she does not only sing other people songs…. she has 2 CD's with original music ( I have them both)….. and she got great reviews for The Color Purple on Broadway….. Don't get it twisted….. I know there were rumors that she got fired for missing shows…. but she must have done something right because they asked her back to tour again. Also she and Jennifer Hudson were up for a Grammy for their duet on J Hudson CD.



    51. 51

      HAHA! Must be a joke, who the hell would watch????????



    52. 52

      Perez, why are you against people working? It's not like you have a admirable job.



    53. 53

      No, I won't watch. I wanted her to win AI because of the song Summertime… she knocked that one out of the park.

      Then I bought her first CD and it sucked.

      Why can't VH1 just do music videos…..



    54. 54

      what??! she's black and a single mum??!!! lol newsflash!

    55. Beej says – reply to this


      55

      Doesn't this shit belong on the Lifetime or Oxygen networks? As if we need another boring show about struggling single moms. Especially some talentless has-been desperate for attention!



    56. 56

      AHHAH wot a fail, NOBODY should watch that and I seriously hope no one does.



    57. 57

      Re: lissalips – I'm white & a single mom…shut your fucking mouth…you couldn't handle the position for for 2 seconds asshole



    58. 58

      i will watch. i love her music and her voice is so unique. Chile get ur ass in the studio and make another album!



    59. 59

      Oh Im back. Sorry. I feel asleep after looking at her!



    60. 60

      Nooo way i never like her..



    61. 61

      Poor Fantasia. She is no Jennifer Hudson.



    62. 62

      Yawn is right



    63. 63

      Poor old Thang. I knew it was a mistake when she won AI. She does not have star quality and staying power, not to mention I have never heard an original song of hers that was good.



    64. 64

      And another thing, who remembers when VH1 and MTV actually showed videos? Why not go back to that. All these crappy shows suck and no one except kids in Middle School watch them. Who's bright idea was that? To take the M out of MTV and the V out of VH1? Is should be CRSTV-crappy reality show TV or LAS1-Lame Ass Shows 1.



    65. 65

      ugh i cant stand this chick… i hated her from the start…. shes ugly, yells instead of sings, just do us all a favor and go away…..



    66. 66

      Definitely… NOT!



    67. 67

      Are you kidding? Fantasia? That homophobic religious fanatic c**t? I would not watch her show if Ryan Seacrest himself offered to pay me to watch. I wouldnm't watch if Simon says to watch. F*** her!
