New Fantasia Video - "Hood Boy" (Feat. Big Boi)

It's a sordid affair, keeping track of American Idol alum; one day you're impressed by Kelly's choice of bassist, next thing you know the Clay-gagging-Ripa send-up is practically the most covered aspect of the American Music Awards. Somewhere in between is Fantasia Barrino and her new track, which features a few verses from Outkast's Big Boi and her raspy, divalicious vox. Somewhere in the world Simon Cowell is busting a nut.

I fear insulting her by even speaking their names in the same sentence, but could could fantasia be ripping off jaguar wright's flow any harder?

I really, love Fantasia, I voted for her on American Idol, and when I seen her movie on lifetime, I was glad again for her. But I think this video is in poor taste, it makes her look trashy and stink, come on Tasia, lets do better, you have more class, and blessing then whats is shown in this video.

Yo this video is alright with me Fantasia is fine as frog hair and she has been enoughin her life that she feels she show off how she wants. Dont forget it not the artist all the time that decides what the video is going to be. Its you the fan that decides that what you watch is what they make and show. Personally I love the video Fantasia has nothing to be ashamed of. She got her head straight let her do what she got to do for her and her own. Do yo thang. Love You Baby

I THINK SHE COULDA DID BETTER THAN THAT!!!!! AS A BLACK WOMEN WE HAVE HER AND BEYONCE TO THANK FOR JUST BEING BOOTYLICIOUS NOT TALENTED AND INTELLIGENT. AMERICAN IDOL DID GOOD WITH HER WHEN SHE CAME OUT. SHE NEEDS TO LET THEM HANDLE HER BUISNESS SHE WON'T BE HERE LONG IF ALL SHE IS WORRIED ABOUT IS DOING HOOD BOYS. FROM WHAT I KNOW BOYS IN THE HOOD AINT BUYING CD'S THEY TRAPPEN!
