Fantasia Has To Be True To Herself

In the November issue of Vibe magazine, ‘American Idol’ season three champ Fantasia Barrino complains that the media keeps trying to sanitize her image. “Why do I have to put my child on a front, change who I am, hide my child? With TV shows like ‘Idol,’ people want you to make life into a fairy tale,” she explained. “You go out on the streets and see how some people are living: homeless and not knowing where their next meal is coming from. That’s everyday life, that’s real struggle — and I’ve been through that. I wasn’t gonna fake the funk for nobody. I have to be true to myself.”
