American Idol: Another Star Bolts I’m told it’s over between "American Idol" star Fantasia Barrino and 19 Entertainment, the company that owns the show. In the last few days, sources say, Fantasia has fired her managers at 19 Entertainment, the firm that owns the TV show. She’s said to be considering offers from several new advisers.Fantasia isn’t the first "American Idol" star to ditch 19 Entertainment. Clay Aiken, the contest’s second series runner-up, got out as quickly as he could. His lawyer also extricated Mario Vasquez before the 2005 season was completed, because he feared the diminutive singer would win and then be tied to 19 for a long period. Vasquez is now managed by Arnold Stiefel, Rod Stewart’s long time adviser. Last March, Kelly Clarkson—the original American Idol—dumped 19’s Simon Fuller as her manager, claiming he wasn’t really involved in helping her. Fuller is controversial figure: in 2003, British group S Club claimed that he’d paid them each a total of $500,000, while Fuller himself made 100 times that amount off the group’s success. Will Young, the British winner of that country’s "Pop Idol" show, has also feuded with Fuller over money. Ruben Studdard, who beat Aiken, has almost completely disappeared. The timing of Fantasia’s departure is interesting, because her second album is due out on J Records in October. She also plays herself in an autobiographical Lifetime movie next month, directed by Debbie Allen. But Fantasia’s career, which should have skyrocketed following her "American Idol" win in 2004, has been quite pedestrian. By contrast, Jennifer Hudson, who lost to her in that season, is about to become a breakout star in the film version of the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls." “Simon doesn’t really care,” a source told me yesterday. “He encourages everyone to leave as soon as they can. Because of the contract, he still makes money from them anyway.” Fuller also manages Annie Lennox’s solo career, and is responsible for celebrity curiosities David and Victoria Beckham aka “Posh Spice,” creating their fame in vacuum of renown. Fuller often compares himself to the Beatles’ long-deceased manager Brian Epstein, because he invented The Spice Girls. www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,206312,00.html

It's about time she fired their ass! They didn't know the first thing about managing a R&B artist. I say good riddance to bad rubbish. So is Carrie the only winner still with 19M?

From the looks of things, it does seem that way, because I thought I heard whispers that Ruben attritioned his way out of 19E after his gospel album. From the way it looks, that leaves only Carrie and Bo, and I imagine it won't be too long before Bo jumps ship, to get back with his group Sugar Money. 2007 looks to be the right time for him and his group to come up with something amazing, certainly on par with the rock groups of the 1990s (think Creed/Stone Temple Pilots) and first few years of this decade.

19E doesn't know a damn thing about managing any kind of artist. Carrie will probably jump ship next year too. Go Fantasia!

Theres a new interview posted by thisisme on youtube. The interview is with TVone and it shows backstage snippets and a church scene where Fantasia is pregnant and is walking down the isle singing a song and then it shows a choir member hugging her and they fall to the ground. Here's the link to the video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYA-cAd3c7I

oops, sorry, I guess I misread and saw a 1 where it wasn't there.
I know Tank produces/writes a lot of stuff, so he might not be singing on the song he does for her. I think he's on Monica's upcoming album too.

Did ya'll see the preview for Fantasia tomorrow on ET? It looked really sad, they said something about her tough childhood and on the screen I think it said "childhood rape".

They just played ET again here. She really looks sad in the interview and says something about it gets really hard sometimes. Just the clip made me feel bad for her.

got this from snow Add Sean Garrett to the List of Writers/Producers www.mtv.com/news/articles/1537926/20060804/knowles_beyonce.jhtml?headlines=trueStill, he's not slowing down his songwriting and producing for other artists. At the moment, he's working with Ciara, Fantasia, Mario, Tyrese, JoJo and newcomer Chenelle, and he's the man behind new singles from Fergie ("London Bridge"), the Pussycat Dolls ("Buttons") and Bobby Valentino ("Wreck") (see "Bobby Valentino Asks Sean Garrett, Rodney Jerkins To Attend Special Occasion").

I hope it sounds more like "Buttons" than like "Wreck". Love the first, hate the second. I won't touch "London Bridge", though I wouldn't be surprised if Fantasia incorporates some rapping, that should be cool.
