Why on earth would someone want to make a movie out of her life? It took me a few minutes to figure out who the hell Fantasia was. What a waste of celluloid.
Snoooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrre.

Posted: 5/5/06 at 3:41pmEither I'm really out of touch, or Fantasia has fallen off the map. You really don't hear much about her.

I think Jennifer Holliday should play her mother. She can sing "Summertime" in the beginning, and the final shot should be Fantasia singing it on the Idol stage.
Look!
I'm Debbie Allen!
Please, no leg warmers in this one, Deb!

Posted: 5/5/06 at 4:25pmI'd rather watch another Cybill Shepherd as Martha movie.

Posted: 5/5/06 at 4:34pmNot that I was ever a fan of Cybil, but her portrayal of Martha sealed her fate with me. Yuk!!

I'd just like to point out that the little girl playing Fantasia as a kid, Tamia Nash, is... I don't even have words for her.. she is beyone cute, super talented for her age, and sassy! I hope they let her shine :)
Miss Tamia Nash (age 5)

Just saw the trailer on lifetime. IT LOOKS SCARY.
It's a 3 night premiere. THREE FRICKIN NITES FOR FANTASIA?
Come on, do they really need to take up 3 nights for this?
Her acting looks laughable. I can't wait.

How can anyone who's still living and is relatively young have a "life story" movie? GOOD GOD, people.
What's next? The Dakota Fanning Story?
Note to TV producers & writers: Next time try to find someone who's actually lived a LIFE and not a couple of early chapters.
Or just call this one "Fantasia Barino: The First Coupla Chapters"

best12, are you actually questioning the integrity of a network that promotes movies, such as, "Her Best Friend's Son", etc.?!
I think you might be expecting too much! (LOL)

Yeah, you're right. At least they HAVE a first coupla chapters.
Usually they just start rolling the cameras with NO story to speak of.
They're WAY ahead of their usual game here!

Posted: 7/15/06 at 10:29amI'm wondering if the Debbie Allen dancers will be making an appearance in this one.

I would actually watch it, then.

The life story of a 22 year old? Ridiculous. I think Debbie and sis Phylicia have really gone off the deep end.

Posted: 7/15/06 at 1:34pmThe only thing of value to come out of this project will be the TWOP review.
