Impression

As I look deeper into this cover dispute.  I see things differently than I did at first. As usual Fantasia has a problem with tact. But she doesn't mean any harm though. She just doesn't know any better. Why won't the people give her a break.? They looked the other way with Alicia Keys and she is a homewrecker too. I still feel Fantasia has a legitimate complaint on this one. Thet wouldn't even try this on Keysha Cole. What's wrong with wanting to convey a more mature, sexier look than her American Idol days? She is just aiming her dissatisfaction at the wrong people on this one. All these details should have been written in the contract. Her issue should be with her management team.  Not the people at the magazine.

Some of this stems from a general disrespect for Fantasia and wanting to keep her in a box . Every since it was revealed that she couldn't read, it has been downhill somewhat for her. Just the other week Beyonce made a similar request to the Superbowl people about a photo, only to have it done immediately with no questions asked. When everything is about brand these days. Her image is important to her too. She doesn't want to be remembered as the dark skinned woman with the big lips who could sing. Fantasia isn't a beauty queen by any means, but she cleans up well. The girl is fine. Not like a Halle Berry, but maybe a Mary Mary. Tina Campbell especially. A diva to the max. Though deserving, her own biggest fan. Fantasia has to be feeling slighted having her wishes not being honored on something as important as this. She might gain some new fans from this interview. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression .
