After All The Drama, Fantasia Says 'I'm Doing Me'


After watching the last episode of Fantasia's VH1 reality show, Fantasia For Real, my heart went out to the starlet. On the episode, she disclosed the details of her suicide attempt that took place this past summer, immediately after leaving a lawyer's office to learn the details of the suit filed against her by her lover's wife. You can't help but feel for her. Fantasia's life reminds me of the sitcom Good Times where every time you think the family is going to get out of the ghetto here comes another calamity and they're back to square one. Fantasia's life seems to share that quality in that with every five steps she takes forward, she gets knocked back six. From drama surrounding her stint with the play The Color Purple to freeloading relatives and a dishonest lover, it doesn't seem as if Fantasia has been able to peacefully enjoy her stardom. But despite appearances, she isn't down for the count just yet. For proof, take a look at her new video for the single "I'm Doing Me" that rings as a clear call of triumph in the face of all of her life drama. Donning cute earrings, a healthy attitude and hanging with the requisite video friends who dance on cue, Tasia makes us smile with this video, even if its predictable and syrupy sweet. And by the end of it, whether we like Fantasia or not, we can't help but sincerely wish her the best.
