My rendition of “(Somewhere) Over the Rainbow,” the classic ballad from The Wizard of Oz in the style of Katharine McPhee (as performed on American Idol, Season 5). Accompanied by the best pianist I know, my dad. Find all my covers and performances here.

J Music: “Lose to Win” – Fantasia Live on American Idol
If you can acknowledge someone’s faults you should also be able to cheer on his or her success. I have never been the biggest fan of Fantasia and I was extremely disappointed in some of her professional and personal choices (i.e. performance etiquette, fashion, financial management and of course Antwaun) that led to the deterioration of her brand.
Before the release of her fourth album Side Effects of You, I heard the single “Lose to Win” and was unmoved, but her performance on American Idol definitely changed my mind. She slayed that performance!! (I may or may not have had a tear in my eye…)
The same song I had overlooked the week before, I was singing the whole next day.
While I was sleeping on her, Fantasia was busy getting her mind, body, brand and music in order. I finally got a chance to hear the full album today, and it is definitely worth a listen. Go Tasia!
Favorite Song: Without Me – Fantasia Ft. Kelly Rowland & Missy Elliot (including the “Girl Talk” interlude)
