Clive didnt want Fantasia to go this route with the album, so he pulled a "better know yourself" move (bad promo, low shipment, not many videos) that he later did to Kelly Clarkson. What route did he want her to go in? It's pretty in line with her debut, and we all know he LOVED that (she was his featured artist at his pre-grammy party that year - which is a pretty huge deal).

Wow, this thread is back from the dead....might as well rename it to Fantasia discussion. The album is done, no more promotion (was there any to begin with?) and The Colour Purple is no more. Nope, there never was MUCH promo. Still in disbelief of the tiny 400K original shipment. I guess she must have made Clive Davis a little mad along the way for him to do her that way and ship so little. At least she went above the original shipment number and forced at least a gold. Perhaps next time she'll have better luck. Like i always said how can you sell double platimun the first cd and the new cd only 400k shipped You have a number 1 hit and it only goes for adds on Urban and Urban AC.. Yep Fantasia done pissed old Clive off

I really want her to win Best Contemporary R&B Album (and she is not credited for Best R&B Song).

I think she could win BVP. If the Grammys hadn't turned into such a sales-and-popularity contest, I could definitely seeing Fantasia having the edge but I don't think she'll stand a chance against Alicia and "No One".

Its not like she deseres to win over Alicia....or Mary....or Chrissette for that matter. I think her best chance is in the contemporary album category.

I think she has a solid shot at winning VP female for a couple of reasons.
One: She's the only veteran in the category to not win out of seven nominations. Also her song of which she's nominated for spent 8 consecutive weeks a #1 on the r & b chart. #2 her album is nominated. 3, Alicia keys has 9 grammy's , didn't make it into the general field and it appears from a lot of the nominations that being a "favorite" this year might not matter. If Alicia Key's wins the vocal performance she'll be shut out of the grammy's next year (for 2009) like John Legend is this year.
I really believe Fantasia will win this time around, if not at least we all know SHE SHOULD have won it.
Anyway, a few months ago people were saying Fantasia wouldn't even get nominated because they said her album "flopped". Not only was she nominated but the album has three, pretty darn good. So, now they have to eat their words oh I see some of her haters have arrived. Hey say it right.

If you listen to the two, Fantasia's vocals are undeniably superior. I find it hard to believe the grammy voters are THAT favoritist in their voting.
She should stand a decent shot at Contemporary R&B album, too. I figured GGGB would be nominated there, and just looked and saw it wasn't. So I guess Just Like You is her big competition? But I don't think that album is as good as Fantasia.

Her chances of winning are slim but I'm just glad that she got nominated. It's a huge accomplishment to add to her list!

People who get joy out of being disruptive often have issues in life. Just something I've noticed. ;)
