I got around to seeing Fantasia this evening, thanks to Testing123.
She deserves all of her praise and more - the girl is a COMPLETE and utter revelation. She's absolutely brilliant. I couldn't believe how emotionally involved I was in the show this time - and I say "this time" because with LaChanze, I didn't care at all.
Please, go see her. She's drop dead brilliant.
