She's ballin. She's a show all by herself! She's got an energy that's unmatched.
I love "bring it down, I'm gone freestyle on 'em'" - lol! She's crazy talented.

It's simply ridiculous that she has not sold 500,000 copies of her album in 8 months. SMH.

It's simply ridiculous that she has not sold 500,000 copies of her album in 8 months. SMH. Yep, especially of an album that is so good and critically reviewed. I think Clive did it to her though, she went with her own vision on this album and he only shipped 400K, which caused her to sell slowly. Actually, I'm surprised they even certified her gold. She showed him though, instead of sitting around complaining she really did stick it to him by going else where and being respected and praised for her talent and I don't think he's getting his paws on any of that 10 million advance sales for TCP. Go Fantasia, you showed em' how to really "stick it" to them. The record company stiffed you by extremely low shipments and little promo, so she said what the F, I am out of here I can make way more money then this plus be praised nightly on my A+ talent.

But the basic fact is that she's still doing things that will help her with her longevity especially in the Urban community. WISU and hopefully, Only One u will help her to continue to be able to perform in Urban communities for years to come. I see her being like Patti LaBelle to a certain degree. Both of them are known for their stage performances. Patti doesn't have that many mainstream hits, but she has a lot for the Urban audience to continue to come to her shows and support her 47 years into the business.

I really don't think she should leave J records. I think the marketing and promotion she's getting there will be the same as anywhere else.

I don't tink so. J records has done some really incompetent things. And that's not even going into the conceptual issues. That's issuing press releases that look like they were written by a 10-year-old. That's just making basic errors so simple it's just sad. That's neglecting to send out emails about her career to this day, while simultaneously sending out emails about other artists on the same label. I just can't believe that every label is that stupid. Only thing J has going is that technically it's part of Sony BMG, so if the light of favor shines her way, perhaps they'll do something right. But honestly over the years it's been horrible. I'd give them a 65 if this was a class in school. Not failing, but not even average, due to the 5th-grade level writing.
