  • This is Beautiful. When i saw th color purple tour i cried like a baby during this song

  • I love this song by fantasia...she did this song!!

  • She sang the HELL outta this song!!!

  • The sad thing is that racism extends beyond anglo-european...there is good and bad in all races...If we can grow to the point that we can judge with an objective conciousness, there would be a lot of problems resolved today.

  • Blessed is all I can say!

  • I can't believe the audience sat on that chill sending riveting performance. Guess I would have been the only one standing.

  • Great voice! Congratulations, greetings from Brazil (=

  • This is such an American Idol performance of a Musical Theatre song. I mean, she does it well...but it isn't in any way Celie.

  • She has a lot of soul in her voice.

  • Sing Black Woman!!!!! Yay!!! I'm so proud! This performance deserved a standing ovation. & Look at old oreo Taye Diggs. He looking like 'I didn't know you could come to the Tony's acting black and being black, & still be respected. LOL

  • @JESUSanswers1 HAHA that's the same thing i was thinking, what the hell is wrong with him?was he not watching the same performance we all saw...lol i think they purposely panned the camera on him just to get HIS reaction hehe

  • @JESUSanswers1 stupid comments like that is why people think black people are ignorant fools.

  • @JESUSanswers1 You call yourself a person of JESUS and judge someone else? Correct yourself.

  • Oh my goodness....this song is so beautiful. Her voice is so beautiful. And when she got emotional at the end!I love you Fantasia

  • They we're like....why is she even here...i love you Fantasia after that they should have stood up for true. That's was powerful!!

  • I like how she's crying... It connects... Idk wat I'm saying... But it's rare when a singer or artist actually protrays emotion that doesn't come off as bogus.

  • Go head Tasia!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • her voice is perfect for reflecting pain. This is an amazing performance

  • When you listen to this it brings tears to your eyes.

  • She is amazing!!!!

  • she is amazing to the point where nobody can touch her. despite wats going on in her life we are not the one to judge her,in life we make mistakes that we have to correct ,but that don't make her a bad person,to each it's on but i love her dearly,anytime you tear up just listening to her she is truly a blessing fromgod.

  • gone then fantasia i love this song keep up the good work

  • not a fan of her voice, but dang gurl.. she emotes every single word in this song. and it gets into me. i won't even compare jennifer hudson's performance to hers. i like jen's voice better, but as an emotional performance, fantasia takes the crown.

  • Both done a great job in doing this song but Fantasia owns Jennifer Hudson in the emotional part! she shats on anybody out there who is an emotive singer.. The girl is just a beast!! She is so heart-felt in every performance she does!

  • Utter Crap, thanks for doing this song jennifer hudson, you have the range she just doesn't, cb

  • wow this was an immaculate, outstanding performance by my soul sistah fantasia. I She made me cry and I don't cry easily WOW

  • That smile touched me at the end.

  • attention fans the time as come to start requesting her new single "collard greens and cornbread" on your local radio station and buy it on itunes so we can get this talented women to number one were she belong

  • If Fantasia had starred in this in the beginning, she would have won the Tony award

  • If Fantasia had starred in this in the beginning, she would have won the Tony award

  • SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNG FANTASIA...

  • :-!

    

  • AmaZing! I love Fantasia...she can sing.

  • She sang dat

  • Go girl and sang that song

  • Great ur amazing fugt wat ppl say do u

  • @peach79 u defo have no clue about musicals then thas all im saying

  • Them dang white people...what is wrong with them! I would have been up having church after that performance!

  • Beautiful !! Absolutely Beautiful !! Makes me cry

  • she shoulda remembered this song be4 she tried 2 kill her self

  •  The way she ended this was breath taking !_!

  • One word........Flawless!

  • @a1d2h

    100% agree. Jennifer too often crosses the line between singing and shouting. Talented, but no Fantasia!

  • OMG. That was great. I had never seen that performance before.  She is beautiful.

  • good but jennifer hudsons version will blow your head off

  • God has blessed Fantasia with a voice that many envy...that's why the so...called Tony Clicks snob her..You can see it on their faces. If someone has a gift own up to it..let your prejudices go people.

  • @lccsmdesiree

    I'm sorry. But you are very wrong. It's the people at the Tony's who are CHEERING her! And she wasn't eligable for the Tony because she wasn't the original Celie. LaChanze was, and she won the Tony for her performance. So you're comment is simply ridiculous. You're picking a fight for no reason. The American Theatre Wing has no prejucdices in that way.

  • @Museleaders

    I guess Jennifer Hudson should not have won an oscar for the re-make of "Dream Girls"...HMMMMmmmmm! Now, who's picking a fight???? Tony snobs could be anyone who hand-out or associated with...not necessarily the direct board itself....:)

  • @lccsmdesiree AGREED! jealous ones envy thee...

  • @lccsmdesiree white racist son of a bitches make me sick

  • automatic 'Chills" OMG!!!!! Beautiful!!!!

  • It is difficult to define Bela FANTASY, she can give us absolute delight when he sings his songs. I feel very happy to have their music to enjoy and rejoice.

    She can spend an emotion that only a singer able to Whitney Houston. I can believe she has anointed as his voice.

    Fantasia Barrino God bless you always.

  • I get chills everytime I hear this time... I was blown away when I heard it live the first time. What an amazing performance.

  • her voice is soooooooo powerful, i have tears in my eyes

  • LOVE HER THATS MY GIRL.....HER VOICE IS MADDDDDDD REEL TOCK

  • ugh this makes me look forward to the tony awards now. but i just looked it up and they aren't even airing til june -____- great

  • I LOVE this song by HER!! jay hudd did a great job its just i can feel it from fantasia:)

  • I'll stand as tawll as the tawllest tree..

    she did the darn thang

  • OMG I just tried to compare this one to JEnnifer and i am stumped

  • fantasia (MY GIRL) and jennifer hudson are both beautiful woman who got the sangin game on lock....yall just support fantasia in the movie musical "the color purple" and the short film "ruby's cafe" and also support jennifer in the movie "winnie"....both the ladies are BLACK GIRLS THAT ROCK!!!!!!

  • Let me also add, I have seen Jennifer Hudson's performance of this and I must say Fantasia takes the cake! The emotion, the passion, the voice, not to mention she sings from a place of being able to identify with these lyrics.

    Jennifer Hudson is a bit dry to me, still she has an excellent voice.

  • @TheKC777 I agree with you, I don't know why they didn't have Fantasia to sing this at the Kennedy Center Honors for Oprah, she should have sung it, not to take away from Jenifer but Fantasia has lived this song and she sings it with so much more passion then Jennifer does.

  • @TheKC777 what is wrong with you Jennifer Hudson is dry?Can you check your ears please and if yo cant find the problem please go to the doctor because something is really wrong with you and you need special help

  • How can you sit after a performance like that? But I have learnt that that is not an indication that it wasn't flawless or excellent, but rather the state of awe you leave a person in. Well done Fantasia.

  • jennifer was vocally better but the expression of the song fantasia did it better...but i would pay my money to watch either one sing it...they both done a great job... keep it up girls!!!

  • beautiful 

  • Ok. I admit. I cried.

  • perhaps people are sitting DOWN because they're in shock at how GOOD that performance was!...lol

  • SANG GHURL!!

  • OH CHECK OUT TASHIA'S VERSON FOR TONY AWARDS. WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY NOT HATING ON JENNIE, BUT SOMETHING ABOUT TASHIA'S VERSION THAT WILL MAKE A BLIND MAN SEE, A LAME MAN WALK AND A FOOL COME TO HIS SENSES. SORRY I KNOW YALL MAD AT ME. LOVE YOU THOUGH JENNIE AND YOU ARE AWESOME TOO!

  • Good version but Jennifer Hudson was better

  • @barrabest Lol no way Jen was better...

  • I saw the play, THe Color Purple, twice with Fantasia and she was simply phenomenal. I wish she would do it again. This is one play you should save up to see. Get to it anyway you can if she ever does it again. I promise you will not be disappointed!! She was just so ASTOUNDING in it.

  • @Fantasie891 you know why because there idiots with money all they do is think about themselves hard to give someone praise when you want it for yourself
