Fantasia Barrino
Fantasia Barrino brings her soulful voice to the stage!
Why see Fantasia Barrino?
The Incredible Fantasia Barrino!
The winner of American Idol in 2004 and star of Broadway musical The Color Purple is one of the most popular RnB artists around after hit albums and smash hit singles like 'When I See U'. Now the star heads out across the USA on tour! With influences like Arethra Franklin, Patti LaBelle and Tina Turner - there's no guessing what style of music Barrino will be. With her raspy and gritty voice, she is a woman of soul... literally!
Since winning American Idol, Barrino has sold over three million records and won numerous awards including a Grammy Award and three Billboard Awards. Another achievement of hers was being the first artist in history to achieve a number one in the Billboard charts with her first released single.
Fantasia Barrino made headlines in 2007 with her performance as Celie in the original Broadway production of The Color Purple. She took over the role from Tony-winning actress LaChanze, and proved she was capable - and then some! - of filling LaChanze's shoes.

Concert
The concert was amazing. She sounds better singing live than on a song and we all know
she can blow a song. Coming from nothing to something you are an amazing and beautiful
individual. American Idol’s winners have been hit or miss, but Fantasia Barrino was one of
the hits. She won the reality TV competition in 2004 and has since been performing on
stages from Broadway to the Music Hall at Fair Park. It’s been 12 years since 33-year-old
Barrino released her first studio album, Free Yourself, and in that time, she has won a
Grammy and seen her debut go platinum. In October, she released her sixth studio album,
Christmas After Midnight. Fantasia livens up Christmas standards such as “This Christmasâ€
and James Brown’s “Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto†with her soulful rasp, and she’ll
play songs from the album Sunday in Dallas. Even first-time listeners who just want a fun
way to kick off the holiday season will get a kick out of her powerful voice and upbeat
arrangements. ... Read more

Nice show (classy)
Great concert. I think everyone was
expecting some of her more popular
music. I certainly was. I really don’t do
concerts, but came to see her.she
explained that it was a Christmas
show and we should expand our
pallets. I can appreciate that. I just
wanted to hear her live. ... Read more
