Fantasia, Oprah's gonna be pissed!
Since Fantasia began appearing in the Winfrey-produced Color Purple on Broadway seven months ago, the American Idol winner has missed an unheard of 50 performances. Fifty!!
That is extremely unprofessional and hurting the box office for the show.
On Broadway, when the star of a show - above the title billing - is out, you can either exchange your tickets for another day or get a refund.
Due to her many many many absences, producers have had to give back tens of thousands of dollars.
Sources say Fantasia's out a lot because "she's simply not up to the grueling Broadway schedule."
Girl, then you should have negotiated in your contract that you wouldn't do any matinees!
Broadway shows run eight times a week.
What's even worse is that not only are Fantasia's absences costing the show a lot of money and extremely unprofessional, but she's disappointed thousands of fans.
Many church groups and tourists travel in mass via busses from as far away as Alabama to see the show. To go through all of that and then have Fantasia pull a sick-out? Sucks hardcore!
Get it together, girl. Get. It. Together.

With all these hateful entries, who here has starred in ANYTHING noteworthy?? While she's still out there collecting a paycheck, everyone here is just hating on her…Nobody's forced to go see her nor are they forced to buy her albums…..Quit hatin'!!!
yeah, fantasia is great in the show. blah blah blah.
BUT - when she's not on a woman named montego glover goes on. and montego is THE BEST. plus, montego knows how to read.
Re: auntie clara – PREACH, my sister! The negroes hate it when the truth gets told! They ARE lazy, and have attitudes that stink to high heaven and a mob mentality that rivals that of baboons! Immigrants are more "assimilated" than American Negroes! Fantasia is their poster-child.
Re: educatedandblack – Did you graduate from the Dr. Jan Adams school of medical success? There's another "Negro success story." Answer me this Mr. Sambo Bachelordegree: why are Blacks so vicious to one another? Turning on one another like a roiling lake of Piranahs? And don't say it's because of the media, Whitey, slavery, or "the man." Give a substantial reason. Also why do Blacks mistreat their animals?
What else do you expect from someone who didn't know how to read up until 2 years ago, and had a child when she was 15 years old? Low-class people.
I live across the street from the Color Purple production in NYC. There are lines outside everyday, as long as you can see. No one is returning tickets or causing the color purple to lose out on money so save it!
Secretly, I wish they would leave so I can walk out my door w/ out having a thousand people staring at me.
Oprah should fire her ASSSSSSSS
Seriously, could we please have all the racists stop talking? How many blacks are in the entertainment industry that DO bust their asses entertaining- ie WORKING! It's ridiculous that in this day and age people try to label an entire race as lazy! If you read your history books, it was done to my ancestors who immigrated (Irish), we were called the "Black Irish." We supposedly were lazy, yet were going to steal people's jobs (?). One newbie's fatigue/unpreparedness/even laziness does not label and entire race. Your racist comments however, reveal YOUR lack of education.
Signed,
a white middle-class woman, if haters think I'm defensive b/c I myself am black. I'm just not an ignorant racist.
I have seen her on Broadway…and, really, people are better off when she isn't there. Her acting is terrible, her singing is way over the top at best. Ick. In any case, she SHOULD be ashamed of herself for missing so many performances. I'm sorry she isn't a machine, etc. but there are plenty of people working eight shows a week without the need to be "sick" all the time.
I actually saw her this past weekend in the show….horrible. You could barely hear what she said nor could you understand the words when she sang. Luckily he rest of the cast were amazing. I did see the original cast and what an amazing show. Great job to Oprah for backing this musical. BTW, it was a sold out performance. Go see it if you are in NYC, it is very uplifting and has some amazing songs.
That black hog is sooo gross. She / He / It sings like a dog in heat. I guess she'll have to go back to turning $2 tricks behind the Gas Station. Barf.
for those who don't believe in evolution
fantasia is trippen yes! but take it from me… i went to the show and was at first upset to hear fantasia was not there, but her understudy is FREAKING AMAZING!!!! i promise… people really need to know that! i cant imagine that fantasia could ever even compare… she just has the "BIG" name… thats all
Fantasia sux and needs to get lost. I saw a pic of her dressing room and she has huge 8×10's of herself all over it and 1 teeny tiny microscopic pic of her daughter.. ssaaaad to be that self obsessed and a piece of shit all roll into one. Get lost beotch the only real american idol to come out of NC was and is Chris Daughtry!
What is wrong with you retards?… Appearing on Broadway is a tough job and after all we are human. It has nothing to do with race, color or creed. I can't believe how you racist idiots go on as if you're impressing someone. Were you really raised with this mentality, are your parents as ignorant as you? I truly believe that this sort of racist remarks come from within. This country is so ****ed up, that racism literally part of of our genetics. It has been going on for sooo long that it is programmed into your brains without any real validity. Shame on our forefathers and our parents for allowing this sort of ridiculous way of thinking leak into our future and into our children.
It really is easy to hide behind some stupid trivial screen name spewing all this garbage. In actuality you are quite an embarassment….
THIS IS TRULY A SAD DAY…..

Eventhough none of us actually know Fantasia lets go ahead and agree that she's a whore, slut, tranny, ghetto trash, uneducated. All of those things.
My one question to the posters stated above is why does it always come down to race. What in the hell does her race have to do with anything. I find the qualities stated above in every race. I'm not hiding behind a fake name. My email and identity are available for all to see. Only cowards spew hate and hide.
Fuck that no talent crackhead. She probably thinks that she's "entitled" to be lazy and that if anyone fires her, they'll be racist.
That is absolutely pathetic. Fire her punk ass and teach her a lesson. No one with such a poor work ethic should get away with that.
SHe really is one ugly woman. And incredibly inarticulate, to boot!! The voice?? A dime a dozen.
I love fantasia. im sure that she did an amazing job doing the CP. the reviews of her and the show have been amazing. dont assume anything you racists pieces of shit. buy her cd and listen to it then you will know how amazing her voice is. dont hate people for no reason, you guys dont even know her. there isn't any room in this world for haters.
nominated for three grammys. why to go!! your cd rocks!
you can't say she has a bad voice otherwise she wouldnt have won american idol you fools. the critics love her both on the cp and her cds.
Re: BLACK WOMAN SO LAZY –
Hey retard, dumbass, your breakfast Perez shit mixed with cum is doing your head?
Instead of talking bullshit, why don't you free Perez's DONG out of your mouth and get your facts together slutboy.
That dick craving ain't doing you no good puta.
Condolezza Rice Oprah Winfrey are amongst the most hard working women in America.
Rings a bell?
Bitch needs to get her shitface out of Perez's ass.

These comments are disturbing. I hope to God this isn't a true representation of how America thinks, unfortunately I'm afraid it is. At least there's a few intelligent people reading this site.
I saw The Color Purple on broadway in NYC before FATasia was the star. it was incredible!!! I almost slit my wrists when I heard that buffoon was going to take the old stars place. what is this world coming to?
it's a sin to speak ill of Oprah. However, talk all the shit u want about fantasia. she is a piece of shit just like jennifer hudson.
Re: Pootytang – Pooty ..are you THAT stupid..who do you Oprah's staff are??? They ain't blacks, honey
Re: Bitch please – Reality check…2 working black women DO NOT represent the entire race. Jesus..where do you live? Take a ride in every major ghetto in this country and look at what you see. As a matter of fact, take a boat ride across the Atlantic, get off at Africa, and take a look around. There are exceptions to every rule. Oprah happens to be 1 in 50 million.
Re: Et tu Brute? – Bitch please. I have a MBA and am well qualified to make any observation I wish. Since I am well educated, I do not rattle off nonsence. The fact is..and check your statistics, brainiac, over 40% prison population is black, it is proven that blacks are more functionally illiterate than whites, there are more blacks on welfare. They get a free education handed to them and they still choose to sell crack. Horrible, horrible mess of people that this country has to wipe up after. Its not hatred. It is just a fact. Granted, the gap is starting to close, but no where near what it should be. You can not deny this, Ms. Phd. And the root of the cause is the poor, or lack of, family structure. There are no daddy's in the homes. And the mama's keep running around, getting pregnant. Viscious cycle. Who are you going to blame that on? White people? Please, go tell that to some enabler. I'm sick of groups of people blaming their problems on everything and everybody but themselves. You want to do something good with that education…start educating the black sector in Detroit, and see how you fare. They don't want to change..Bottom line.
This is so NOT true! My friend is the understudy and she says she never gets a chance to go on cause Fantasia never calls in sick!!!! Plus if she was such a disappointment, they wouldn't have extended her contract! LIAR!!!!! She was the S@#T in Color Purple…
Re: anutie clara – Having an MBA doesn't mean you have common sense!!! Statistics are meaningless when all things are not equal! You should have learned this in your Economics class! The percentage of black people in prison equaling 40% does not take into account the flaws in the justice system which is less forgiving on black people who commit the same crimes as their white counterparts… FACT! Ad let us not forget that innocent people do go to prison. Especially in the Unites States of WHITE America!
i thought that was a gorilla that escaped from the zoo
Re: elle – Why you poor little pitiful thing. The only soft spot around here is your poor little brain. Obviously underdeveloped and reflective of a very low class mentality. What a loser low life you are. What would you know about anybody 'doing anything with their life' when your own is so empty? Much like that lazy sow you so feebly tried to defend, you obviously wouldn't know anything about success if it hit you on your ugly, monkey cunt, tranny face. You and your tribe are little more than filthy putrid pieces of human garbage making excuses for other nasty scum of your same ilk. Sorry, it really isn't a mean thing to say; it is just the truth! Deal with it.
yins r all crazy. let it go. she's a cool ass m(*&&ther F(*()*&er with a nice ass voice let it go. you know her thighs look better than yours……
I would think it would help the show that the fat no talent bitch isnt there. Who in their right minds would pay to listen to her??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Re: elle – HEY JIZZ BAG IT IS OBVIOUS WHO IS SICK HERE AND IT IS YOU, WELL MENTALLY THAT IS. STICKING UP FOR YOUR SISTA? HER FIFTEEN FUCKING MINUTES ARE UP AND SO ARE YOURS. BOO HOO, POOR CHUNKY MONKEY FANTASIA IS TOO LAZY TO MAKE IT TO HER SHOW. SHE IS SO SICK AND PROBABLY HAS A BIG PIECE OF WATERMELON STUCK IN HER THROAT. EAT SHIT AND DIE YOU LOSER TRASH.
Re: elleisapoorscreechinglittlemonkey tsk tsk – That's not very nice.
That's sad. She was born with talent and is too lazy to use it to make a fortune. Oprah gave her such a great opportunity.
Re: elle – calm down. you sound like a defensive hysteric. if your really want to defend her, you should show some solidarity with fantasia and post a pic of yourself just like the one she posted. i'd like to see that. is your booty that big? is your hair that color? that really reflects the class act she is and i am sure you are.
Well, she isn't a nappy-headed ho, but lord knows that baby sho got back. Baby's got enough back for everybody on da block. Hard to believe they would keep dat skank around. I be guessin' Orpah ain't go no control over da sister!
EW.
i actually HATE herrrr
uhh who the hell was voting for her during idoll
cause there MENTALL
I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE!!
I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE!!
fire her ugly and untalented ass!
Re: lauren – agreed!!
LOL@ you Fat Fuck!! I love how you are judge, jury, movie and music critic, when all you do is sit on your fat fucking ASS all day eating and playing with your computer. YOU get it together…take a shower and take walk, fuckface. You make me ill.
At least SHE tried!
Re: anutie clara – If you really had all the credentials you claim to have then you would be more than aware that there are more whites on the Welfare system. Why? There are more whites in America than blacks, simple. Also, the whole "40% of jails are filled with white people" speaks more to the racial disparities in our legal system. How a racial MINORITY can be the overwhelming MAJORITY in jails/prisons is something else entirely.
It's also a shame that a person with an MBA still has the ignorance you're holding on to.
Btw, I meant *black* people in my above post when I quoted the "40% of the jails are filled with black people" line.
Lets see how many people go ape over a typo.
Re: BLACK WOMAN SO LAZY –
wow!! i can't believe you had to stoop so low as to call someone a black whore….
the chicago cast is better anyway - if you see the color purple, go to chi-town instead of nyc. Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child and Latoya London from American Idol are in the cast.
isnt fantasia preggers? isnt that why she's been canceling shows?
Perez, of all the photos you could have chosen of Fantasia, what is the relevance of this picture to the story? You're an idiot clearly out to make celebrities look worse through your mindless exploitation. Grow Up!
The truth is the "racist people" are actually jealous people because they wish they were blessed with good genes like black folk…but yet they carry defective genes and a very hateful envious disposition…sorry got to tell it like it is…EDUCATED YOURSELF PEOPLE AND FREE YOUR MIND!
not surprised. at all.
She makes all kinds of people who stood up for her look so bad. Think about what her daughter will think when she gets ahold of who her mom is. REDICULOUS. But hey, America (aka Oprah) stands for it… so what can we say?
She missed my visit! Everyone was pissed that she wasn't there, but the understudy was probably better.
You all are forgetting that she's PREGNANT!
40% of the US prison population is Negroid. And most US crimes are committed by 'groids (Google FBI Crime Statistics). It's in their blood, folks.
Can her fat ass, producers. Buy out the rest of her contract and get a professional. This is really rotten - she is so bottom-of-the-barrel.
Re: auntie clara –
Why are you saying that 2 black women doesn't count for 5 million.
I said two of the harDEST working women dumbass racist.
Talking about ghetto and Africa, what about white women then?
Eh, craving for bbog black cock.
I've seen and read about meth addicts(white women), and trust me, they win way over the ghetto women.
Sell their fucked up pussy for meth, will in fact do anything for it.
Laziness?
Stop stereotyping ignorant bitch.
Re: anutie clara –
Make sense dumbass, go back to school.
And see you when Obama wins bitch.
Re: YGJ – "Let's see how many people go ape" is not an appropriate metaphor in this commentry. Try to use something less racist and more factual.
Re: educatedandblack – Finally atleast one of the few on this site with sense. It just goes to show that common sense isn't so common anymore.
Re: Rebel in GA – You seem to have a lot of questions regarding people of color but I have a few questions of my own. Why do white people beat there spouses-cover up the bruises with make-up, sunglasees and force their spouse to go out in public and smile? Why do white people kill their race horses and grey hounds when they no longer can perform? I'm just curious about the average caucasian's train of thought is. : )
Re: YGJ – Let's see, if Blacks account for 40% of the prison population, then who accounts for the ohter 60%. Auntie Clara can you answer that question Please?
Re: Rebel in GA –
Well, first off this is the stereotype that has been adopted by society. this is not the case for all blacks. certain external forces cause people to turn each other, it happens in EVERY race, not just the black race. also, the ignorant acts of the football player who has had so much media attention… this does not reflect the rest of the black community. and please don't talk to me like that….if you are referring to me as another negro success story, let me tell you don't know the half! i had to work my ass off just to get where I am today. i did not step on or kiss anybody's ass on the way up either. i was determined to do better than my family. i know it may be hard to imagine this, but I started from nothing, absolutely nothing and now that I have the education and will to do as I please, i am. and don't think of me as bragging, because you have missed the point in which I am trying to make. for all those who are still racist and put constraints on the black community and its ability, i just want them to see this is not the case for all. in order to be educated you must be informed and i am simply informing that not all blacks can be stereotyped, this also goes to every race, gender, etc. as for the question i attempted, but should not have answered on why blacks don't get along, i have no idea. i believe this answer is only one god can answer and time will tell. ignorance could be a beginning step to answering it!
Re: mstopquality – yes, silly…about 30% Hispanic and 20% or so white. Google it, dummy.

According to the Survey of Inmates of State Correctional Facilities by the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, the following statistics have been recorded concerning the characteristics of offenders who violate and assault children.
* Those inmates who were convicted of committing violent acts against children were more like to have been white, a percentage of nearly 70%, than any other race.
* White inmates were nearly three times more likely to have victimized a child than black inmates.
* About one in every seven Hispanic convicts had been convicted for a crime against a child.

* Approximately 22% of child offenders reported having been sexually abused as a child.
Most methamphetamine users are white men 18 to 25 years of age, although proportionally more women use methamphetamine than other illicit drugs,3 and usage rates are higher in certain ethnic groups (Figure 1).1 Methamphetamine use is more common among men who have sex with men, and it is associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and transmission in this population.4,5 One study in six large cities showed that 13 percent of men who have sex with men had used methamphetamine in the preceding six months.4 Methamphetamine use has also been associated with hepatitis C virus infection

Re: Burn in hell –
I completely agree with you.
And let's talk also about serial killers while we are at it.
Serial killers invaded America mostly during the 70's and 80's.
Racism was common then and forensic evidence not to the point.
The word serial killer derives from series, a number of killings.
Why do most of you dumbasses thinks that serial killers got away with it.
They killed one time, then continued.
The police departement was looking at the wrong places and suspecting the wrong people, that's why retards.
Everyone was pointing their fingers at the Blacks and Hispanics.
But to their big surprise who was doing the killings, middle class white men.
Yeah the blond blue eyed, mannered, gentil man next door neighbour turned out to be your worst nightmare.
While the accusing of the black men continued so did the kilings.
98% of notoious serial killers have proven to be white males.
That's history for you racist ignorants out there.
Yeah instead of wasting your time with your racist garbage or typing first.
Why don't you idiots google history of America once in a while?

Re: Burn in hell – Interesting. Next, you should consided a comparison study and use a histogram: how many people per day die from drive by shootings v. serial killings. Graph blacks v. whites who have AIDS. Graph gang violence: black v. white, graph how many blacks have fathers in the home, how many have a college education, how many make more than $20,000 a year, how many smoke, sell crack, how many babies the average black man fathers with different women. Would be interesting study.
Re: Burn in hell – America has a population of 300 million. Germany has a population of 82 million, brits have 62 million. Stats sound about right according to population genius. good try though.

Reverand Al "the boogieman" Sharpton, you said all that to say what??

cities in the U with the highest crime rates: detoit, flint, washington dc, st louis, atlanta. lots of black folk there.
I aint no nappy headed ho,,,, oh okay and Imus, Dog The Bounty Hunter, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, Micky Rourke, Pam Anderson, Calista Flockhart, are all hideous and heinous to look at, so your point was exactly what?
I aint no nappy headed ho,,,,,,Ill take Will Smith, Jada, Tupac, Alicia Keys, Keyshia Cole, Kerry Washington, Angela Basett, Mary J, Shemar Moore, Denzel Washington, Usher, any time> I dont hate white folks, I am a biracial(blk mom/hisp & Italian dad) female, but you white folks need to reflect upon your own ignorance. Being a cyber racist is not cool you wouldn't dare pull that $hit in public, or anywhere else except behind your pc, it shows what real cowards you are, and you have no balls to keep it real in pubic if thats how you really feel, and most of all its just not cool. I just took the time to show you your not as perfect as you think you are.
True theatre people have dedication. They train for years. They do show after show after show… And then some little singer from American Idol thinks she can walk on a Broadway stage, get a starring role, and be a diva. I promise you people like Liza and Julie Andrews (when they were her age) had the graciousness and professionalism to be there every single day with every ounce of their being. Frantabasia is just some girl that can sing a little (in one particular genre) and thinks she can get all the glory. What a laugh. She doesn't have half the talent people in her chorus have!
The girl is a ghetto-trash tramp looking for just enough cash to pay for her next crack deal.
It sure is a lot of haters out there. Kiss Oprah rich ass and lick Fantasia big black ass you white racist motherfuckers!
all you white trailer trash dumb asses talking shit about fantasia. and her not showing up do you not have a job to be at she's been out so many times because she's expecting a baby and during the first trimester of your pregnacy you become very ill you dumb asses wouldn't know because your all crack babies and your parents did give a damn about you. please when speaking about fantasia or any blacks please speak facts half of you can't read or write and wish you were where fantasia is right now in her life fantasia keep up the good work i enjoyed you on broadway
