Ok, so many of us were probably wondering why Fantasia was not part of the Grammy’s tribute to Aretha Franklin. Especially, considering that during Fantasia’s recovery from a suicide attempt, the Queen of Soul personally reached out to her

Plain and simple, Fantasia was not part of the tribute because she wasn’t asked to be. On the Wendy Williams show today, Wendy speculated that its because Fantasia is not as hot as Jennifer Hudson right now! While I agree that its definitely a Jennifer Hudson moment in time, there was room for Fantasia. She should have been asked and it was a slap in the face.
Fantasia spoke about the situation when she called into “106 & Park”
“Last night they were honoring someone who is my idol, Aretha Franklin; and there is no way I could have sat there and not got the happy feet and wanting to jump on the mic because she is my favorite. So I felt like, you know, at the end of the day I should have been on that stage. So I kind of did my own little thing last night.
I have this feeling, like every year I go, I feel like they always look over some of the good singers that are still around. I’m not trying to be funny, but that’s just the way I felt.”
fI agree with Fantasia. She should have been a part of the tribute. Fantasia won her first Grammy this year for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for ‘Bittersweet’. How prophetic!
