I can't remember the last time that I saw her on, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Rogan, Colbert and the damn list goes on and on.. People call her a sell out but this is her career you talking about. She is just like everyone else that loves what she does and does it well. Stop hating on her. Hell some one even said she was to dark to play Aretha.. New flash Fantasia is darker; not that I'm hating on skin color. Why can't people just give her praise for being successful. Damn, we already living in a country that is divided and all you are doing is dividing us even more.. SMH! If you don't like her don't watch her. Damn! Keep on going JHud!
