The Queen's Chair: What Was Fantasia Thinking?

When it rains, it pours. Seriously, what was American Idol Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino thinking? I'm sorry. Killing yourself over a married man? Please. Dating a married man should be off limits.I guess she was just fooled by his cunning and his charm. Fantasia believed him when he told the classic guy lie that he was leaving his wife. He, of course, flew home on weekends to be with his spouse.Once she found out he was married; Fantasia should have left him alone. She didn't.


My question: Is it that hard to find a single man? I'm not saying you walk out your front door and can find one. Dating gets harder as you get older. But she should have done her homework. Check him out before he becomes a part of your life. Or your child's life?


Recently, a woman sued her husband's mistress and won $9 million dollars. So now what could possibly be Fantasia's fate? She doesn't have the best decision making track record. Think Color Purple, her brother's musical career, house foreclosure, near bankruptcy, unwanted pregnancy, and dropping out of school. Her family has been a thorn in her side and have tried to take advantage of her. She's worked hard to get where she is, but needs "better" people around her.


Fantasia was given a gift from God. Her voice is beautiful. Just like Whitney Houston's. I would hate to see her waste that gift. Whitney wasted hers. I'm praying for Fantasia. I'm tired of seeing the black performer "rags" to "riches" to "rags" story. I hope she can make a good career comeback and finds a good, single man soon.

[Her family has been a thorn in her side and have tried to take advantage of her. She's worked hard to get where she is, but needs "better" people around her. ]

So true and I hope that she will get herself going in a better direction for the sake of her child.

I do, too. She is such a victim here. This girl needs a break.

I find it a bit suspicious because she is on every talk show hyping her new record. One of my friends thinks the whole thing was a publicity stunt and now I wondering if it was.
