FANTASIA BARINO-TAYLOR performing a Tribute to Patti Labelle at The Grio Awards November 2022

[@factsoverfeelings7828]

A consummate professional she is-the band didn’t hear her vocal cue to end the song or see her two hand signals, but she kept rocking with it and felt out the music and did not panic or miss a beat, she improvised flawlessly which shows her musicianship. We fng love Fantasia!

[@neishbaggzz]

I Def saw that as well

[@_SevenKay]

yes I seen that too, the band got caught up in the music hunni lol I def seen her cues. She is an awesome performer

I had to catch myself, almost forgot what song she was singing..bout caught the spirit🥴😂😂 She’s the special one. Some of us are just waiting to see her really step into her power👑💫🧿

[@INDIGO.GODDESS_573]

@@NettieCartelNC She was born to a mother a grandmother who sings gospel.. she grew up singing with them in her grandmother's CHURCH. Both are pastors. FANTASIA STILL SINGS GOSPEL MUSIC.. SHE IS NOT CONFUSED ABOUT HER PURPOSE.. Y'ALL ALWAYS JUDGING HER!!! LEAVE FANTASIA ALONE... THAT'S WHY SHE GOT SO DEPRESSED AND ALMOST SUCCEEDED IN HER SUICIDE ATTEMPT.. SHE IS NOT SINGING RAUNCHY LYRICS LIKE THESE FEMALE RAPPERS.. IT'S NOT ANYONE'S JOB TO TELL HER WHAT SHE SHOULD BE SINGING.. THAT'S YOU CHRISTIAN'S PROBLEM ALWAYS TRYNA TELL SOMEBODY HOW TO LIVE THEIR LIFE WORRY ABOUT Y'ALL SELVES, DAMNNNN... STOP TRYNA TO LOCK HER IN A BOX.. AND THROW AWAY THE KEY.. Y'ALL PAYING HER BILLS. STOP TRYNA CONTROL ANOTHER PERSON'S NARRATIVE FOR THEIR LIFE. Y'ALL GO CRAZY WITH THAT SHE DON'T EVEN KNOW Y'ALL EXIST.. AGAIN, WORRY ABOUT YOURSELVES. GEEZUS.. STOP WITH THE JUDGING AND PROJECTING THAT'S WHY PEOPLE DON'T GO TO CHURCH AND/OR STOP GOING TO CHURCH, DON'T LIKE OR BELIEVE IN RELIGION/CHRISTIANITY.
