Who's still listening in 2020? This is a performance for the ages. A performance that will stand the test of time as the greatest American Idol performance of all-time.
Oh this was the best!!! And I don’t know if you remember but her competitor (Diana) sang this same song right before her and it was not moving. Diana’s performance was good but it didn’t have soul like this one did.
@@deer9311 Oh i remember like it was yesterday. Unfortunately Diana was out of her league that night. Diana's version was not memorable at all...average at best compared to Fantasia.
THIS is when Idol was Idol. This was Fantasia’s defining moment. And no network could stop her! Magical, pure, and POWERFUL. She actually COMMANDED ownership of that competition, even when it dared to slight her. Who’s listening in 2022 still? 🙋🏽♂️
This and Fantasia's summer time... I would also put Porsha's Diamonds in the Sky... and there was the fellow that did Chanderlia... add Chris's rendition of Kanye's heartless and Phillip Phillip....
This song can never be sung by anyone besides Fantasia. They can nail every note, have the most beautiful voice, etc...but the feeling just wouldn't be the same. This woman is a storyteller.
I've been in choirs backing artists before, I know exactly what those guys behind her felt; and how they were willing her on to victory. When she started bouncing with the choir that was it for me ... the whole thing just meshed into the most beautiful bit of magic and she took it on home. The greatest moment in American Idol history EVER!
Probably the most greatest finale song of any idol winner, I love Kelly’s finale’s song but this is another level, she deserved this, you can tell she feels it, she’s actually claiming it 🥰☘️ she can sang!!!
Fantasia embodied what American Idol was. I never cared to vote for a contestant like I did her before and after her season. I remember using the house phone Lol to vote.
I remember this performance on American Idol. I was very impressed by Fantasia back then. She has since experienced a lot of bumps along the way that seem to accompany the entertainment industry. I hope she has found her way back to her Christian roots. God bless her and her family to stay true to the God of the bible.
This performance meant so much I remember being so emotional watching this !! This song was perfect for her it was almost like a testimony chile , Tasia took us to Church frfr !
I still love this song It still sounds like it was released just yesterday 2023❤🔥🔥🔥 Timeless song and best song ever made out of American idol 🇬🇭🔥🙏🏾🔥🤔🤔
Her story is so inspiring, Fantasia couldn't even read properly when she was on the show, came from a poor up bringing, had a child at a very young age, for her to follow her dreams & win American Idol! Applaud this woman with talent!
+cdhinton77 girl whats your point? You sound kind of jealous te me....everyone in life go true their own deeps some pass,soms fail. some are played out in public eyes others are not. some take alittle longer to come out,some take their time in coming out,some sees their situation and make better choices because of what they see etc etc etc , ....you sound a bite jealous or selfrightous to me for a save woman.....And because you save dont you know that eveybody strom is not the same?...you been save for 19 years + right?......You are not Fantasia and Fantasia is not you....just thank God that he kep you.... God bless
+Caprice Summers Often we succeed because we are loved/encouraged by the people we are surrounded by. And/or we may be encouraged by doing it for someone. Believing in yourself comes from many different facets.
Who came here after Fantasia got the Golden Globe nomination? We might see her winning again in this same venue if she scores her Oscar nomination, too.
She had them Crunk bc they were so proud of her, to them, it was if they had won themselves!!! That's the power of a great song that fills the heart of the person singing it...I could listen to this song forever!!
Fantasia, I listen to that song almost every day, because you’re singing it to me. I lost my youngest son on Nov. 3rd of last year. I’ve cried every day since then, but when I hear you sing that song, think about my pray to God, I can look passed my sorrows, and I fine love, peace and joy. Thanks to God Tamara Grey, and you Fantasia. ( oh! my prayer was, before I die, and my children, may they find Jesus as their Lord and savior, and the Lord clean them up, before He called them home, and He did.) Thanks again, much love girl you song your heart out, and it did lift me up . 👈❤️🙏💕❤️💕❤️
Still to this day best winners song ever on any reality singing competition show. Needless to say the best performance. This tied with her winners performance the next night.
NOBODY ELSE! would be able to do with this song, what Fantasia Barrino was able to! Not even Tamyra Gray, the first season's contestant and writer of the song! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
They say Fantasia's 'Summertime' was the best performance on American Idol history. But I would say this one IS THE BEST. 'I Believe' was written for her & she owned this. Such a powerful performance & nobody has the right to sing this song but her..
