Fantasia has had a calling on her life since the beginning and even the demons know it which is why they try so hard to keep pushing her in directions against her full calling. I am praying with you and for you in Jesus name!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

[@sherrywheaton4945]

I completely agree. I picked her to win American Idol when she auditioned. It was just something about her voice that I loved and knew she would do great. Then the night she won AI and sung the song I Believe she poured her heart and soul into it and you knew God was doing something great in her. I missed her on Broadway but look forward to seeing her and the cast on the Big Screen👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So true.

Love this interview! I have been binge watching The Color Purple interviews all day today and this to me was one of the best ones I've seen and they have been interviewed by some of the biggest news and multimedia forums. However, most of the questions have been the same. The young lady interviewing in this video had really thoughtful questions, even Oprah was impressed! It brought about some answers and responses from the ensemble cast and team I had not heard when looking at other interviews. Which shows great journalism skills, kudos to her! Love how real they are, especially when Fantasia said her piece. So genuine. :) I also loved the energy from the audience which made this even more fun to watch!

[@joliegeo8277]

I feel the same. I been watching lot of theses interviews and they have been good. This one is the best. The woman doing the questions did a great job. I enjoyed listening to all their responses. I can't wait to see this movie on Christmas❤

The best interview I've seen yet from the cast

[@jcanthony16]

Such a dynamic, anointed, gifted group of individuals including the moderator. Her line of questioning was brilliant (I love how Oprah embraced her). I was honored to see an early screening of the movie and it was PHENOMENAL. Please go and see it as soon as you can !

[@michellelaguerre8760]
