Good Look or Hood Look: Fantasia on the Cover of Vibe Vixen

| 42 Comments


*SOHH Soulful is now updated numerous times a day. Check back throughout the day for that new hotness.*

Fantasia takes it there on the new cover of Vibe Vixen.

I don't know y'all. This is the second page I am seeing that Fantasia took from Kelis' book. I give her props for not being afraid to do the blonde thing. But the cut, then the blonde is almost following Kelis' blueprint to the letter.

I am not saying she went out and deliberately copied Kelis. I am just saying that it reminds me of what Kelis did. Especially seeing as Kelis was on the previous cover of Vibe Vixen.

What must have the rest of that photo reel looked like if that is the shot they chose for the cover. Head over to Bitter Vibes to get her take on this issue.

Check out NovaSlim's retouching.


At any rate... Fantasia's cd is banging. It's not getting a lot of burn commercially as I predicted long before it was released. Never the less there is some hot production on the cd. (((kwame did it!)))



Currently Fantasia is #68 on the Billboard charts after only 5 weeks. It debuted at #19.

Here is Fantasia on "Tyra Banks Show" performing "Hood Boy" from 12/15/06.

I guess since the album ain't selling and J Records is now focused on Jennifer Hudson, Fanny will need a hood boy to take care of her. Any takers. Anyone. Anyone.


I talk shit, but that voice is sweet as fuck.

I'm not loving it. Not hating it either. There is definitely shock value. But I don't know.

I think the pic would look 10 times better if her hair was dark. Lemme go photoshop it and see what I can come up with....

Nova... email me when you're done with it.

the thing is Kelis has a pretty feminine face and the short sharp edgy cuts work, Tasia on the other hand looks like Grace Jones.

She is a great vocal talent though.

Vibe covers are the funniest....69 Things To Know About Your Kitty ? Well alright...

LOL!

How in the world is Fantasia biting Kelis? That black and white picture is promo pic for her album that's been on the net since the summer. Kelis just went blonde - so again how is Fantasis biting? Fantasia hair has been short ever since she was on AI 2-3 yrs ago; Kelis just went short last year. How is Fantasia biting. Furthermore, Kelis is not the first chick to go blonde or cut her hair short. That as ludacris as Kelis claiming to have been the 'first chick to scream on the track'. Females in and out the industry was doing the same before Kelis. She has no blueprint and hasn't set any trends. Get a grip.

For the record, I don't like the Vibe cover.

hairdo no harido the chick ugly but hey she can sing but then again Jennifer hudson can sing too and look way better

she looks prettty like the pic with the blonde hair better..btw her cd is b

Dido what you said Blackbeauty, but I like the cover.

poor Fantasia.. Now while I am still pumping her first CD.. with this second one..you know its garbage. when you got the free bootleg copy.. and you more upset that you took 2 minutes to download the whole thing.. She looks a mess on both covers.. and should not be posing so damn close to any camera.. American Idol is not a beauty contest.. but a vocal talent.. and the "TRUTH IS".. she got talent.. but sister girl miss the line for beauty.. and this is not to say she is ugly.. but she sure in hell is not celebrity cute..
and i am tired of seeing her perform. and making facial expressions.. like she don't know where she at.. and as far as blueprints.. she needs to go back to the blueprint of her first CD.. to sale more..

I'm not a hater.. you can't handle the truth

Yes she is ugly as fuck her people shouldnt hype her head up they shouldnt even put her out like that

I don't know, Soul Man, I think she looks great in either color. That dress in HOTNESS.

Is tasia really performing in Toronto? Im in canada and been waiting to catch fantasia live... is that last March 18th date for real?

Fantasia is a force in R&B

Soul Man, question- Why does ghetto appeal work for some singers like Mary, Keyshia, and to lesser extent Shareefa? I mean anybody could tell Tasia was hood.

The girl is not ugly and if u were concern about Jennifer and her look u need to go back
at the beginning and see what she look like
with the weave and all the fake things people
probably would surprise u with there look. Atleast Fantasia has a loving heart and she really seem to be for real and her voice is the best out there now she is not getting the attention now because of Jennifer that sing about two song in a movie and I am not putting her down yet becaue people will later. When u
see the real Jennifer then u will see. Now I
hoping the best for both of them. We should just give up on one for the other. Fantasia is
just like Jame Brown the hardest working women
in show business he didn't have the look but he had the voice to say I black and I am proud.
Now go get her CD and listen to I feel Beautiful.

Fantasia may not be a beauty Queen but she has
a Beautiful heart, just go get her CD and listen to " I feel beautiful" now Fantasia has
one of the best voices out here to this day.
She won AI3 by right when over 65 million people voted for her,now that over she is on of the hardest working women in show buisness today as Jame Brown was he wasn't all that handsome and he came of with I black and I am proud. Jennifer she getting the attention now
and she did her thing in Dreamgirl but we still
yet have to seen what she got. I hoping for the best for both young lady and will have my
support as long they don't start to tear each other down. Fantasia made it and Jennifer now made it so let give both a chance. Fantasia Cd
is hot and it will pick up with. As long as Fantasia keep God first all other good things will follow.

She is talented and she can sing - she needs to stay focused on her craft. This cover is not so bad, but the CD is lacking.

That hood sh!t ain't gonna sell -it's not even cute.

J records got a large RnB stable, she better step it up.

hell naw she ugly as fuck i'm sorry but damn i'm not hatin but seriously come on can she even read the article about herself i heard she was illiterate

Its really sad all we can do is sit around and try and down the next fellow because he or she is doing what they love why hate like i read on the church sign the other day nothing is dirt cheap but gossip so get the stick out of your mouth and go and by her cd then you will be doing something constructive instead of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy I swear black people sure can be the down fall of themselves. Just quick to down a fellow sista or brother because their look isn't mainstream. You all are some sad individuals. I can bet $20 that the people calling that girl ugly look like a bowl of hot shit on a summer day.

The pic isnt bad, its the hair color. I think she should have went with a darker color.

CW in NJ - I love your response. Fantasia is beautiful and the picture is stunning. Loved your response.

Why, Why, Why Black People do you take such pride in degrading, humiliating and putting each other down? What do you have to gain by being so incredibly rude and disgusting? What has she done but tried to make something better of her life. Is is so bad that she is beautiful without being light skin; or like society has taught us that looking european is the barometer for beauty. Get it together people and love her for what she has to offer and that is her undeniable talent, humbleness and yes beauty. I can not believe some of what I have read and whoever allows this stuff to be printed is just as bad.

American Idol for Fantasia Barrino and Jennifer Hudson was over three years ago. Stop comparing them they are not in competition. You all didn't give a flip about Jennifer Holiday before this Dreamgirls thing. Both Fantasia and Jennifer are great singers with different styles. Give Fantasia her props and Jennifer hers. STOP HATING!!

You all are disgusting and I bet if Fantasia had it in her to tell you all to go to Hell she probably would but unlike me she is more gracious. It is pitiful that her own people can not be happy for her and supportive. But as always the "crab in the barrel" syndrome has hit. God forbid she do something to better her life. And to the person who asked "can she even read the article" obviously you are the one with the reading problem. She can read but you would know that if you could read.

Before you start hurling insults and other hurtful things, remember she is a person too. She is somebody's mother, sister, daughter and friend. You would not want your loved ones to be treated in that manner. Grow up please! Say something of substance or shut up.

Thank you Lisa :)

Great post Michelle. It is truly sad when our own people turn against us, instead of praising the fact that she didn't become a product of her environment and just give in to a life her mother and grandmother lived. She had bigger and better plans for herself and didn't let her irresponsibilites stop them. She many not be their standard of beauty, But I think that Fantasia is gorgeous and is very talented and I'm proud to be a fan.


Great posts Lisa and Michelle.
I think people who say her new album is "hood" or garbage are basing that on ONE song. The album is the BOMB the best R&B album with better reviews than many mainstream artists from Rolling Stone magazine and many other high profile magazine/newspapers and critics. The new album has 5 ballads that are off the chain. The fast songs and midtempo songs are great too. Very nice variety.

Can she use improvement on her looks? Yes! I'm sure WE ALL can. Both Vibe photos are nice. They are different and that's what I like about her. She never does anything the same. She switches it up.

Give her a break she won AI at 19 with mad vocal skills and very well deserving of the win.

May God continue to bless her and her family she is truly a genuine sweet person and is humble.

All I have to say is that her album is banging!

SHE UGLY AS HELLLLLLLLLL! THEY NEED TO GIVE ME THAT COVER..ILL SHOW HER HOW TO ROCK IT.

REEC-C XXXx

We've all seen American Idol and voted for Fantasia. And it's not because she was the prettiest (hell wasn't La toya London on that same season) but because she can sang her tush off. She's one of very few, female R&B artist who can really blow (and I mean that vocially) . She has real talent and is here to stay. I just hope that the same people who voted for her on American Idol are the peolpe who are buying her cd's legally. We as people need to support eachother and realize, there are deeper things than the exteriory of a person. For instance, all of these celebrities who've had plastic surgery so they could advance their careers; and then their careers and didn't end up going anywhere (vivica's, stocks are dropping fast, lil kim is just a mess, fergie..................... please have you seen her before pictures, and lets not mention the blonds pamela and anna. All have nice respectable charities going on). Why can't we accept people on their job title/credentials and nothing else. She a singer and that's what she does, SANG. Lets all give credit becasue she is one talented sister. Hard working, and always on the grind. And not in whomever bed of says, they can get her nominated for a golden globe. Fantasia keep doing what you're doing and that's singing you're fanny off.

nikka here's da thing bout tasia she got a big lips n everything but damn da body is banging;how many nikkas wanna tell me they wouldn't wanna fuck that bitch n let her suck their cokk with dose dig sucking lips of hers

I like the cover. She brings something different. She is herself and does not try to be anything else. Sistah girl is talented. Some people are sad and pathetic - they are quick to say something negative instead of appreciating that we are all different in our own way.
As for Jennifer & Fantasia,they both have said that they are good friends. Why do we have to choose one or the other? I am a fan of both. I love Fantasia's cd and will buy Jennifer's when she drops.

Dark skin and honey colored hair dont match black hair look so good on her i dont know why she switched to blonde but all stars go through a phaze but n*e*way i dont buy cd's because somebody look good

Fantasia is talented period. She's not a beauty queen but she's an attractive girl.I think she needs a stylist to help her along a little but other than that there is nothing wrong with her.

She is a black woman with black women features,very full lips,pretty dark skin and full hips.Why is it that people discredit Tasia's attributes when they say how beautiful Angelina Jolie is when she is white woman with black girl features? Think about it.

I honestly think that black and white photo is stunning. It looks like a photo from an ad compain and anyone who can't see that is just a negative/narrow minded person. I personally love Fantasia just because she -is- real unlike the Rihanna's/Ciara's/Cassie's of the industry. She makes real songs with real feelings and she can actually sing.

People always complain that the media shows images of impossible beauty to impressionable kids, and that that's the reason why teenage girls resort to eating disorders and promiscuous behavior to make themselves feel better. But when we are presented with a real role model. Someone who has dignity, class, talent, someone who works hard and has a good heart. People still complain.

Grow up.
Please.
For the sake of all the young girls who want to be accepted, open your minds and see true beauty for what it is.

The girl can sing...damn a pic...but her songs dont really grab my attention to go buy her cd forreal. But looks dont determine if imma like someones damn cd or not ya know. ..just let the girl be.

Nice Pic of Fanny. Don't really care for her to be on the cover though.

Fantasia is beautiful and ain't no two ways about it.
Anyway on the more important stuff. Her album will go multi-platinum is she releases the rights tracks like 'Sunshine', 'When I see you', 'Two weeks notice' and 'Not that type'. Her album is only lagging cos she released that bullshit 'Hood Boy' song, definitely the worst track on her album.

Sorry Fantasia is ugly not downing that person it's the truth. You can be blessed with talent and still be ugly ain't nothing wrong with being ugly she just ugly. Anybody dude in here if you saw her on the street would either A clown her or B not look twice at her. PS for all the people that are complaining about people downing other black people. This is a blog and this is also America where people are entitled to say whatever in the hell the feel like. Even the white people can say when someone is not attractive. You can have a beautiful soul and still be ugly on the outside
I'm out

Tasia is the TRUTH, ya'll hear me? And I'm tired of people calling her ugly. Why is she ugly, because she has big lips and a wide nose? Because she's not quite as light and bright as Bey? Is it her filled-out frame? Her short hair? I think the haters really, REALLY, need to re-examine their reasons for finding Fantasia so aesthetically displeasing. It may be deeper than you think.

hood: this is a cute and sexy girl but they need a ___ whoopin for this makeup and bad hair style. if i were her mama i would be kickin som butt for this
