Last night, at Jennifer's second show in Atlanta, she decided to pull out the stops with some very special guests.... FANTASiA and JENNIFER HOLIDAY! WOW! Check it out!

SHOUT FANTASiA, SHOUT!!!!

FANTASIA...... SIIIIIIIING!!!!

LiVE : FANTASiA

Since I'm on a Fantasia high, stemming from her high-octane performance of Lady Marmalade from the Patti tribute, i HAD to post this video of her appearance on American Idol. Lol... All i can do is say YES to Fantasia. I love her authenticity. I also appreciate the fact that she hasn't allowed "Hollywood" to change her...at ALL!!!!!!! It's brilliant to me that she would pick "Bore Me [Yawn]" from her Fantasia disc on a show like American Idol. LoL! AHHHH I LIVE TO LOVE!!!! It's so fantabulously HOOD!!!! Peep Simons face towards the end... it's like he's saying, "My God..."

She's a born entertainer. A true American Idol. Love it. By the way, she bumped the HELL out of this performance. 

Notice the girl, to Fantasia's left, at the 1:32 mark. That's the face of someone in church in preperation to "go in."  First, the stare. Followed by a pull in your spirit [your stomach, lol] Finally, the scream. Yeah, she's gone in. IT'S ALRIGHT!!! HAHAHAHA

UNCF HONORS : PATTi LABELLE

So as I was in and out of consciousness from this stomach flu that's going around, but I managed to catch some SANGERS on the UNCF show honoring Patti Labelle. sigh.... 

Fantasia. SANG! Jennifer. SANG!  Brian McKnight. SANG! Mario. SANG! Chrisette Michelle. SANG! 

Most performers sang two songs. Jennifer took on, "Stir It Up" and "Over The Rainbow" while Fantasia WORKED through "Lady Marmalade" and "Somebody Loves You". Taking on a Patti song is NO easy task, but everybody did their thing last night. To catch the program in full, it airs on CBS tonight at 9.

sigh....

Sidenote: They are nominated for Best R&B Collaboration for "His Only Woman" at this years Grammy Awards!!!

NEW MUSIC : JENNiFER HUDSON & FANTASiA : "i'M HiS ONLY WOMAN"

This is the duet of the year "I'm His Only Woman". American Idol alumns Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia pay tribute to Shirley Brown and her rendition of "Woman To Woman". This is another track off of of J. Huds debut CD. Jazmine Sullivan also recorded a version of the song, but I guess to get a bigger "buzz", what better way than to put these two powerhouses on the track? wow! either way, i say YES! [but for you Jazzy Sullivan fans. that IS Jazmine Sullivan on background vocals. :-D]

DOWNLOAD "i'M HiS ONLY WOMAN NOW!

"if this was 10 years ago, i'd be @ yo front door, ready to whip yo ass!" LOL... i just collapsed.
