8/22: Fantasia’s film top-rated cable show of the week
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“The Fantasia Barrino Story: Life is Not a Fairy Tale,” starring Fantasia in her own biopic, pulled in 6.65 million viewers this past Saturday night, the most of any cable show the past week. Another 5.04 million tuned in Sunday night. This was the 2nd highest rated telecast Lifetime has ever had, behind only “Almost Golden” in 1995 starring Sela Award about journalist Jessica Savitch. Congratulations Fantasia!

Whatever greg! Just like I thought. In addition to the people who wanted to see it because they’re her fans, the negative critiques made a lot of others tune in as well. But I guess it was better than watching the Falcons get their a**es waxed by the Packers.

Why are you surprised Jex?? She has a lot of fans. She won remember. Those same people who voted for her watched the movie. I voted and I watched. And come on, there ain’t nothing else on Saturday night so why not watch, even if you are not a real fan. Had they aired a Diana Digarmo movie, although I didn’t particularly like her, I still would have watched.

sigh once again, fate interfered and i did not get to watch it at all… saturday i thought … ok… I’ll watch sunday… ok… i’ll watch it monday…
now it’s tuesday and i didn’t get to see a single minute!!!!! ah well, it’ll run again, i’m sure!
glad it’s so successful for her… i’m not too crazy about the “baby momma” “baby daddy” type talk, but i AM proud of her for striving to reach her goals AND take care of her child…THAT’s worth a lot more than anything else.
later gang!

NEWS FLASH: Jay-Z and Beyonce are getting married in late November. The wedding will cost $3 million. Oprah, Rihanna, and Christina Anguilera will be at the wedding and Kelly, Michelle, and Solange will be in the wedding.

Britney Spears is a joke. I do think B getting married will damage her career. Especially if she decides to get pregnant. For some reason, the industry doesn’t look at house moms or wives the same. Once you become that maternal person, its like all the fantasies that men have of her will be gone. I know before i had my baby and got married, I was a huge sex symbol. And now look, I am just this ordinary girl (i’m kidding)! But I do think it will damage her career, especially since NO celebrity marriages last.
By Carla
August 23, 2006 8:54 AM | Link to this
When Brittany got married take 2 she was not at the top of her game. She had just come off of the annullment with the other guy and the only reason she was in the spotlight is because of JT writing about her on his album. And most importantly, she married a back up dancer who had a girlfriend and two kids. B is marrying Jigga. I don’t think it’s a bad move at all. If they love each other and are ready for the challenges of marriage, then go ahead.

I know Carla. I was just throwing a figure out there less than $3 million. But you get my point on the $3 million being to much. Not because its alot of money to them, but because that money could be used for so many other important things.
Shaun, $30k. WTF?? What kind of work do you do? My wedding cost me like $6,000 or $7,000. I flew to vegas, got married, stayed a week for the honeymoon, and then came back to a big reception.

Carla, being in love and ready for it’s challanges is all good, but we are talking about her career. Men see her as a sex symbol, and once she is married, that will change. That is the reason janet did not disclose her marriage, the public (fans) wants to think they own you. No Britney was not at the top, but she has lost alot because of her marriage.

By Carla

greg, the real character of a man shows in how he treats his friends when they aren’t at their best. His friend may have died doing something illegal, but it was still his friend. And that’s a great tool to teach kids. You don’t throw people away for going down the wrong road.
By shay

I’m sorry, but I agree with Shaun. It will hurt her career. Look how J-Lo’s career changed once she started getting married every other week. Have you heard from her lately? Britney Spear??? That’s probably why Angelina Jolie hasn’t married Brad yet. She knows she is a sex symbol and that will change once she get’s married. It’s just something about the woman belonging to another man. The fantasy is over. As long as they view you as still single, even if you are in a long term relationship, then the fantasy is still there, but once you start having babies and getting married, men will view you different. I am not saying B will be doomed, but she will definitely be viewed from now on as Jay-Z’s woman as opposed to Beyonce Knowles. And besides, she is only 24 soon to be 25. What’s the rush unless they plan on having babies right away since Jay-Z is much older? I bet the pressure is on from her parents just like they did Solange. And where is she by the way?

Carla, she may be an actress, but she’s not a celebrity - easily recognizable in public.
shay, the other day, I made a comment to Carla and told her not to get married. You jumped up immediately and said I shouldn’t have said that. But now you’re downing celebrity marriages. They’re only people. They have problems like ‘regular’ folks. The divorce rate is just way too high for all walks of life I think. People just give up to easily - rich, middle class, poor, greg’s neighborhood.

By shay
August 23, 2006 9:22 AM | Link to this
Jex, you know why the divorce rate is so high. Because people are marrying for love and thinking everything else will just fall in place when in reality, that’s not true. If the finances are not straight, you are going to have problems. If there are kids involved, you are going to have problems. If you haven’t discussed every aspect of your life together, you are going to have serious problems. How many kids you want together? Will the wife stay home or work? Debt problems? Fidelity?, etc etc etc. Love does not conquer all.
And I did say for Carla to get married, but to also said for her to wait until she is in her 30’s. I am not saying to not get married. I think Beyonce is too young and too early in her career. She is only 24. I am not downing celebrity marriages. It is a fact that over 75% of them don’t last because of other problems.

There are a lot of celebrity couples where one spouse is not easily recognizable. That doesn’t change the fact that they’re both “celebrities.” So when Halle got married to Eric Benet, did her career tank?

It is a everyday struggle to make the average marraige work. So you tie in the money and the fame and the most important thing, EGO, you have problems. Lets take Jigga and B for example. He has been a star since 94, 12 yrs. His career is just about over, but her’s is flurishing. This may be a problem because he may start to resent her for catching all the sun. Not wishing bad luck on them but celeb’s are very selfish. On another note, someone sent me a super imposed photo of what their child would look like, it is hilarious!

Fantasia’s movie was excellent. The book should be made available to all teenagers because her life story reflects what so many other teenagers are going thru. The support given by her family and friends helped her to go on with her dream and make it a reality. This support is needed by many teenagers. Teen years are difficult to get thru alone. My grandaughter is 10. I allowed her to watch it because it helped her to see some of the things I’ve been telling her about as she approaches her teenage years.

Hi Guys! I have been soooo busy this morning, haven’t been able to breathe, much less comment in here! On the whole marriage thing, yes it does seem that celebrity marriages can be doomed from the start. And an actresses stock goes down once the ring is on her finger, there are some that can avoid the curse because they have a loving commited relationship kept well out of the spotlight. As for regular people marriages, I don’t feel like there is any one right age to marry. It totally depends on the person & the situation.

My question is this AM. What is IDOL material??? Kelly Clarkston? Reuben Studdard? Fantasia Barrino? Carrie Underwood? Taylor Hicks?
What is your definition of an idol? You? Someone who sits at home and make cowardly remarks only to log off of your computer so that you don’t have to hear the responses. Yeah, that’s an idol alright. Tell me, I just want to know. We get that you don’t like Fantasia. That’s cool. Alot of people don’t. But that does not mean that you have to frown down on her success just because she made it and did something with her life after she made a few bad decisions. Let me guess, you would have much rather her stayed in the hood and not tried out for idol so that you could have continued to take care of her through government assistance. Oh yeah, that would have been a better decision for her. Right?

Hey AM, the Bible says we ain’t s’posed to have idols. We are all sinners, remember all that? A real American Mother would :-D
I thought Fantasia’s movies was good and I’m proud of her for straightening out her life like she did.

Hey, I didn’t Name the show!!!! I check this blog out every now and then to see if the same idiots are babbling about any AND everything and then I continue with my life. I do not care for fantasia and good for her and her success, BUT that does not mean I have to do an about face, and suddenly like her, I just think that all the LITTLE girls that watch the show can GET THE IDEA that if you are a slimy teen, unwed mother and drop out, that it will all be ok, USUALLY it is NOT!!! Why oh why can’t yall get that??? I don’t attack anyone for their views, so back off, stop and smell the “whatever” and if you are supposed to be working, WHY don’t you get busy???? I am an early retiree, enjoying life to the fullest, think I’ll go take a swim, and MAYBE check back toward the end of the week, but why? nothing will have changed, AND for the RECORD, Rodney does not like the ongoing babble either, but like me, he has learned how to skip most of it, since the TOPIC is so often left by the way side!!!!! Anyway the reviews, seemed to think the movie sucked, but I could told you that before you wasted your time watching, but then again, to EACH his OWN!!

American Mother:
I SOOOOOOO agree with you.
I’ve made the same points about “Mantasia”.
And the same ones (the regular AI bloggers)seem to attack every time I make a point that just happens to be true about Fantasia.
Makes no sense.
Fantasia is no idol.
She just “happened” to have tried out for AI by chance, won and is now rich.
Who gives a “shyte”?
She needs to invest the money she won in a speech therapist.
By the way, her dentist did wonders. Her teeth were jacked up. Look at the audition. I’m sure some of you losers (you know who you are) probably taped it. She looked like a straight up Crackhead.

That goes for Eve and Tina, though I suspect you are all one MPD.
Sorry folks, I had a bad night last night and I’m hurting like heck today so I come here to escape and have fun, not listen to a bunch of nonsense.

Tina get a grip. No one attached you for calling Fantaisa Mantasia. I asked you why you called the girl a slut based upon what she had on. Don’t try to twist things because you think you have an ally. AM comes on here all the time ribbing people. It’s what she does. We accept that and her opinions. What she doesn’t do is call people sluts which is what you did. And since we’re losers, why don’t you get lost before you become one too. I don’t understand why people like you come on the blog and act like if you don’t get your way the world is going to end. Give it a rest already!

greg, I am NOT the leader of the bunch, just a girl who will speak her mind. I too get tired of people coming on here complaining. Then we have to get sweet people like Wanda to go off on you when she is not in the best of health at the moment. Now, I will ignore American Idiot (I mean Mother) because she always make the same comment and I think she is a little spacey from time to time, but to the other two.
Eve: B* means just what you thought it meant. Beeeach!
Tina: hummmmmm! Low self esteem honey? You don’t win idol by chance. It’s not like buying a lottery ticket. You spend a dollar and then your #’s are picked. Millions of people didn’t just accidentally vote for her. They voted for her because they thought she deserved to win.
Define loser: would that be one who comes on a blog and puts down others to make herself feel good.

Wanda,
I have been blogging on this Idol blog for the past 2 years and I am no MPD and Tina and I are definitely not the same person. I am normally nice when I’m on here because I like reading comments regarding AI but it urks me when I have to scan through 20 blogs about personal stuff to get to the topic material. I am usually on here for a few minutes at a time since I’m at work but when I have to search for the blogs that takes up a lot of time. Therefore I complained about it. Apparently some of you can’t take a little criticism and decided to resort to using derogatory statements.
Shay, Jex and Carla,
You don’t run this blog, so email each other personally and continue to talk about nothing on your own time not everybody elses. PEACE!
By Carla
August 23, 2006 2:53 PM | Link to this
Eve, you don’t need to bring my name up. I will respond and participate in any dialogue I feel like. I don’t care if you don’t like it. So I guess during the season when there were 500 posts and they weren’t all about AI, it was cool then, but now scrolling through 80 is just too hard. I’ve never called you or anyone on here a derogatory name. So get it right. The end.

So don’t criticize if you don’t want to hear about Jay-Z and Beyonce. Just like we didn’t to hear about you complaining earlier. What did that have to do with the topic? Nothing!

AM, Tina, and Eve, we do not set out each day to offend you. We merely come in here to share opinions. Everyone is welcome! No, we aren’t always on the precious topic, but it works. No one is forcing you to visit this blog! Rodney, please forgive us babbling idiots! Personally, I don’t know what it is hurting.
AM dear, I would think that as an early reitree you could relate to the day to day grind. It is nice to be able to talk with a friend, have an outlet. Helps to keep the stresses down to a minimum.

My thing is, how serious can this blog be in the first place? Why do people feel the need to come in here, call us names and demand that we do what they want? We’re talking about a reality TV show, which a lot of people believe to be rigged one way or another anyway. It’s not like we come here to discuss cease fires, child molestation or the war on drugs.

Eve, did you notice that one scene in the movie where Fantasia was smoking? I had no idea she smoked. Her voice is so strong and I’m sure her lungs are as well. I don’t see how she can smoke and belt out tunes like that. Maybe it was a passing phase. What do you think?

Or Eve, remember when Tasia was laying on the bed after she had gotten raped, did you feel sorry for her or did you think she deserved it. I didn’t think she was being fast. Just tryin’ to fit in with the crowd and ended up getting into some serious trouble.
Or Eve, did you like the berry lipgloss Tasia was wearing when she got in her boyfriends truck after school.
Or Eve, remember when Kadeem keep say “Fantasia, I’m yo daddy”. That was hilarious.

shay did he go to the potty on his own, or did he let you know he had to go and you took him, then he pooped.
In the movie, they didn’t mention how Fantasia potty trained her daughter. Nope, they didn’t mention that at all in the movie.

He went by himself. He is at daycare and we were putting him on the pot every hour. So he pooped on his own. I am sure Fantasia’s little girl told her when she had to poop but my baby can’t talk that well yet, so he didn’t do like Fantasia’s daughter, he just went on his own.

Jex, Tasia was smoking on the part too when she was sitting in the courtyard listening to her cd player and her hair was not combed. Remember, she had on that grey and pink striped body/jogging suit. She did smoke but stopped after she started idol, according to the book.
