Album: Fantasia

Artist(s): Fantasia Barrino

Drop Date:: December 12, 2006

Blades: 6.5

Review: Well she back and she’s brought the voice with her. Unfortunately she’s also brought some bad songs along for the ride.

Now everyone is talking about how unattractive Fantasia is. That is obviously not a criteria to being a good singer because so many ugly male artists exists. No, when I seek out a CD I’m seeking out the vocalist’s talent. If you can’t sing I don’t want to listen to you. I don’t care how sexy you are or how many positions Jose can put you in, I don’t want you making albums. Go sing in a church choir or on a subway platform like the others. Stop wasting time & money.

This CD is not a total waste but half these songs could have been left off the album. We’ve gone from Baby Mamma to Hood Boy to Baby Makin’ Hips.… Can it be that music is rapidly deteriorating before our very eyes? I don’t blame Fantasia. I blame the industry to allowing this to continue.

Hood Boy starts this off and it kills me to hear that a woman thinks that only a “hood boy” can hold her down. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it now: I love a man with sense. Street sense and business sense yet sense enough to know that he can be in a suite in an office from time to time. Seriously, is it really a crime that a man who wears a suite isn’t going to court to stand as a defendant?

As the youth would say “the beat is hot”. The music on this album is good. Not denying that fact. The lyrics is what I can do without. Can we please send Fantasia in another direction? Maybe she needs to take the Mary J. Blige journey. Mary was really rough coming out of the gate but has evolved and turned taking about her woes into gold. The question remains: Do I have or want to give years to Fantasia and her development? Answer: She’s got one more album.

Seems like she had more say on this album…. what the heck was she saying? I want more crap? Geez.

Like I said she’s a good singer and that was a plus for this album. Some of the songs that were decent was I Nominate U, Only One You, Two Weeks Notice. These were a few songs that kept my attention.

Maybe one day we can get past decent and put out a phenomenal album – one day.

About Us Bootleggers

About Us Bootleggers…

Support GOOD Entertainment.

Here we try to speak on what's being dumped into, what we call, the Whirlpool Of Shame (W.O.S.) otherwise known as the Entertainment Industry. This goes for all types of media no matter what!

Named W.O.S. because no matter how talentless one truly is, there's someone out there willing to give up money to listen or watch one complete their journey to Foolishness... They are even willing to conduct interviews on Broken Boulevard & Behind the Music to help get the rest of us to believe the lies they told you.

The Bootlegger's Chronicles does NOT condone nor condemn the art of ~~bootlegging~~ Street Vending or "piracy" as the W.O.S. would like to call it. We do NOT MAKE the creations simply review them.

Support GOOD Entertainment.

Sadly Victoria Has Not Killed Swan, But At Least the Story Got Entertaining... Finally! - Ah, once again I wonder why Isabella can't be killed off and another character made the center of attention. The back and forth between Cullen, Black, and her are annoying. She makes out with both, tells both that she loves them, and still goes off with Cullen. Victoria let me down since she failed to kill Swan and the "newborns" were dull. The semi-action... More →
Bored in New Moon - New Moon reunites us with the dull Isabella Swan and her strange triangle of confusion. To say that the second installment was a disappointment would be an understatement to say the least. I barely made it through this book and wanted the interaction between Swan, Victoria, and the Lycans to be more intense. Even the Cullen attempted suicide was whack. The unnecessary tension between the blood sucker and the mongrel was stupid and a waste of time.... More →
Nightmare at Twilight - Before watching the third installment of the Twilight film series I decided to read the books in hope that the books would be better than the films - I was wrong.

Dead and Still Rocking - After finding interest in the True Blood series and Sookie Stackhouse's friend, Loretta, I decided to finally read the book that started it all - two years later. The book was definitely more graphic than the televised cable series and that is a bit surprising being that the televised version was a bit graphic every now and then. The book was a bit more interesting but not by much. I'm from the Anne Rice and Bram Stoker's School of Vampires and still love their versions over most.... More →
The Last Olympian? Is Percy Jackson Dead Yet? - All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of a victory are grim.

The Pride and Shame of Desire - From the start of this book one is asked to question his or her desire to compete with the Jones. The concept of going morally broke to fulfill a physical want is explored as the main character, "the man," attempts to refrain from the corruption that has taken over his nation. It seems that as a government employee, he is one of the few - if not the only- that rejects brides and being dishonest. He struggles with his hate for his wife's greed for belongings and the need to provide for his family.... More →
Braving An Undesired World - "A Brave New World" is a gripping novel that grabs your attention and keeps a steady grip. For the main character, Bernard, life should be good. Top level position at work, no stress, recreational sex, no worries of disease, and a comfortable existence. However something is wrong - he's shorter than his counterparts within his caste. He wonders what were the citizens like before the current restrictions on life were implemented. Test tube babies are the norm. To have children is an unwanted distraction and the main lab can create the perfect beings to live in the perfect environment.... More →

The Greek Harry Potter Takes to the Sea - Percy Jackson's seventh-grade year has been surprisingly quiet. Not a single monster has set foot on his New York prep-school campus. But when an innocent game of dodgeball among Percy and his classmates turns into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, things get... well, ugly. And the unexpected arrival of his friend Annabeth brings more bad news: the magical borders that protect Camp Half-Blood... More →
The Greek Harry Potter - Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school... again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble.

Conan the Destroyer - As the late Night Talk Show Wars continue, the ongoing disrespect for the Redhead (Conan O'Brien) shines through. To give another F.U. to the bosses at NBC and the Chin (Jay Leno), Conan decided to place... More →
Hype Junkie 2009 Crowned - The time has come to crown the new Hype Junkie of 2009. We have slipped since 2002 but trust, the hype has not been missed. It was rather hard to ignore but there were more important fish to fry. - It's actually timely that the crown will be passed from J Lo to this person. In fact, as soon as Jennifer Lopez took a much needed hiatus from the Hype Spotlight many, including this year's winner, fought hard for the attention. Despite "wanting privacy" in few areas of their lives, many public figures (and some unknown drama whores) fight to be mentioned in a paper or on a TV show. As the old business adage states, no publicity is bad publicity.... More →
Abuse: The story of a Fan - We are here at the secret location to speak to the Fan who is willing to risk everything in order to unveil the undercover world of abuse that many Fans go through in the industry. Unbeknown to the audience or other unsuspecting Fans the abuse is wide spread and blatant. Here is the story of abuse direct from a fan.... More →
Beyoncé Singled Out - For one of her worst songs on one of her worst albums to date, Single Ladies had garnered the nomination for Hype of the Year. The Industry is in overdrive to have folks believe that this crap put to music is actually deserving of play and accolades. Ladies need to keep it moving from any ex that wants return trips to the love muffin only because someone else is taking up residence. No need to waste... More →
A Concert for Nominees? - Who would have thought the award shows would get this desperate and host a concert for the announcements of nominations to an award. And they say the music industry is losing money. I don't know about anyone else but when the budget gets tight I normally don't throw a blowout celebration with the few dimes I have left. I usually wait until I'm down to two pennies so that I may rub them together.... More →

Babysitting Only Left for Black Entertainers - The non-talented American Idol alumnae, Adam Lambert, claims that he is a "performer" and not a babysitter. This bullshit remark comes from a fraud who is not even a performer but a sloppy talentless wonder who scammed his way onto the American Music Awards. He was not even the winner of American Idol so how did he get on the show to close the night out. Despite the fact that the show was being shown with much of the entertainment world's top "performers,"... More →
Alicia Keyes: Live on YouTube - Seems that December 1, 2009 will bring a few things to YouTube other than more cat fights and soon-to-be-banned videos. Alicia Keyes has created a way for fans see her in full performance throught he help of the almighty Google/YouTube/Facebook. At 8 PM EST the show will kick off for World AIDS Day at the Nokia Theatre in NYC. - Tune in if you want - I'll probably forget but then again it's not like the show... More →
bbs: after midnight - Bound By Substance has become the house band for one of the famous clubs in NYC: Bitter End. The group has been performing for a couple of years and always gives their all in every performance. Live is where you would want to be when it comes to hearing this band bring life to their music. They switch things up and through in a few cover songs now and then. The fans love them and the songs have staying power. Each member brings a unique strength to the band and makes BBS what it is today. - If you're lucky enough to know these guys personally, then it places an extra touch on the entire experience. Come out and catch up the with the spirit of Bound By Substance. - The bound before BBS was actually good. They laid down a solid foundation of hot vibes for BBS. Just one question to the singers out there: why rest your lips on the mics? Is there a real purpose? Are u trying to hold yourselves up? I truly would like to understand. - The guest guitar player was really good and the lead guitarist was no joke. Group's name was love rocket. The rendition of blues I Loved a Woman was done brilliantly. The guest (lead) guitarist's solo was on point. "She's evil and she's mean..." Sums up plenty of sexy, complicated and bitchy women.... More →
Televised Palin Hard-On - Just when I believe that the W.O.S. cannot get any more ridiculous, I get a wake up call confirming reality. Yes, not only can things get worse but the days of creation are seriously limited. Why are these tabloid television shows still on? Can society truly be as retarded as it is being portrayed on television?... More →
Hyped NKOTB - They are back and have been enjoying one hell of a hyped moment in this new high-tech industry. Known for taking marketing of boy bands to new heights; NKOTB (also known as TBC’s Sexy White Boys) are now in the running for Hype of the Year. Will they edge out the competition?... More →
Food Mixing: Should Platanos Go with Collard Greens? - Went to an off-Broadway play that I have heard rave reviews about for some time. Being in a nice theater and sitting in the front row, the atmosphere was set for a good evening of entertainment. Once the play began I realized that it required some audience participation - so... More →
Know Thyself, Or Lose Everything - A race of women have lived in relative peace for centuries. But strange forces have come through the ages to finish what it started. These women are unique in many respects, but none of their abilities can outweigh their ancient methods of reproduction. When We Were One takes readers on a tour through memories of days gone.... More →
365 Days of Junk - From the beginning of this book Stephens comes off as a selfish person who sadly believes that money is the basis of true happiness, comfort, and the answer to most, if not all, the issues one may face. To add insult to injury, Stephens believes that the peace of mind one would receive is partly due to giving 10 percent tithes. The affirmations and action... More →
A Fraud in Sheep's Clothing - Despite parroting Black achievements by Blacks, Stephens goes on to tell Blacks that some of the financial inequities are the fault of Black people. For one to go to great lengths regarding racial oppression and the few resources given to Blacks, Stephens creates more questions as to why she would tell this same group of people that this could all be called “emotional baggage?” It is as if this woman placed her name... More →
Seasons of Understanding - Two Thousand Seasons is set in the harshest century of the Atlantic Slaving War that for three hundred years devastated Africa while lifting Europe to affluent world dominance. Europeans have come to call that period The Enlightenment. For Africans it was a time of senseless human sacrifice imposed by the worship of The Market and its blood-thirsty god, Profit.... More →
Words of a S.T.A.R. - Troi "STAR" Torain has been on the scene of the Entertainment Industry for a long time. His supporters know his as a man who is not afraid to come after anyone. I personally have been listening to him on the radio ever since I was first introduced to him on the Sloppy Station... More →
NKOTB back in concert - Kicking off the Summer - As the much needed Summer treat the NKOTB fans could have hoped for, the five men from Boston graced the streets of New York. On the makeshift stage of the Today Show, May 16 at 8:30 AM. The question is was it wise? - They got off to a rocky start and after 15 years it could have been worse. I was wondering why McIntyre's mic was louder than everyone else's, including... More →
Reunited & It Feels So Good - New Kids On The Block are back on the scene adding to the comeback may-lay of 2008. They first blew the doors off the game 15 years ago with the bubble gum tunes with an R&B feel. Many don't remember or will front on it but these 5 White boys knocked it out on the Apollo stage and received a standing... More →
Will This Be The Color Purple's Final Curtain Call? - The Color Purple's Last Stand - In an effort to help bring people and money back to The Color Purple, Oprah & Quincy have recruited Fantasia Barrino to star as Ceile. Many have said that Ms. Barrino will jack up the quality of the show. - I guess ever since the song Baby Mamma Drama dropped so did the faith in Barrino. As banners lower... More →

First Hype Junkie Crowned - Well, like we could not have guessed it by now. After the over hyped music and movie careers, the Puffy-Bennifer Bonanzas, and the drama with the "Nigga" protest Lopez is crowned Bootlegged Reviews' first Hype of the Year winner.... More →
The Eminem/Benzino Battle - Special Edition of December Hype - Can we just begin wit the notion that Eminem DESTROYED Benzino & his YESA BOSSIN' to the industry. In response to Mr. Hype of November, Eminem laid out 2 tracks that put Benzino in his place. - This cat showed Benny Boy what a lyricist can do, further hyping up Eminem's followers/listeners. What kept Em in good... More →
Hyped Thanksgiving - Yesa Bossa... Benzino Hype - The "beef." Hate and jealousy is alive and well. This cat claims that he's not going after Eminem but the industry instead. Bull*ish. If you want to pretend to be a gangsta and keep it gully, stick to the plan!! Don't DRY SNITCH MAN! Stop B.Sing and hiding behind shyt with "industry talk." Just state that you're mad that no one is buying your crap... More →
Happy Halloween Hype - Ashanti: Hype of October - Well Shorty, you've done it again and you've done it in a very big way. Not only did you convince the industry that you're the next best thing to an acquittal, but now you have managed to get a book out on the market. Could it be that anyone can publish poems about getting a dude "wet"? Well... More →
Jigged Out: A Mid-Summer Nitemare - Jay-Z aka Jigga: Hype of July - What is going on in the market today? I'm down for a good ol' fashion battle on vinyl but what is this mess that Jay-Z decides to come back with towards Nas??? - Jay-Z fans are hanging on for dear life in order to save face. Nas ripped it on Jay with Ether. With all the recognition that... More →
Early Summer Trick Or Treat? - J Lo (No): No Way Out?? - Hype of June - We'd like to thank Ms. Jennifer Lopez for helping us to expand on our site: The Bootlegger's Chronicles. :thumbup_tb: - If there was ever anything hyped up more than a New Kids On The Block/N'Sync Collaboration Tour, it would be this garbage. What the heck is wrong here people?? Although we are stuck in a society that tries to tell us what is "hot" and what is NOT do we really have to listen?? This whole J-Lo and J-Lo Remix is straight garbage. What's up with the Nigga word usage and the Controversy?? I say let's all just bite the bullet and use whatever derogatory words that are out there. WHY HOLD BACK!!?!!... More →
Extraordinary Play About Elaborate Lives - Was not too sure about this one when asked to review it. Seemed like another story about a sista putting family aside for the White man. Didn't want to see some faux-love story about another slave master 'falling in love' with his... More →

  "GMA" canceled Drake's free concert. Guess the Hansons couldn't make it. Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, left her high and dry…. Well maybe not so high… or dry… Either way, when your own lawyer bails on you, then you know you're in trouble.

  Virginia rapper, Vince P, is suing Kanye for ripping off "Stronger." For me the issue would be why are people acting like this is "breaking news?" The lawsuit was set into motion last year. Could this be the unveiling of a fraud or a disgruntled and underpaid ghost writer wanting revenge?

  Lindsay Lohan was given 90 days of jail time to be served at the same "over crowded celeb camp" that Paris Hilton was in and where Lohan spent a few seconds. I'm sure she'll be out in another blink of an eye – literally. That’s how Cali celebs roll.

  I have actually grown to like the Jersey chics as they make me laugh at foolishness. I’m not as disgusted as when I see the Atlanta women (mainly two of them) act like fools. The two sisters (Dina and Caroline) go to bat for each other and those they care about, unless they believe them to be in the wrong. Jacqueline is the in-law that tries to get along with everyone, including the nut job that is Danielle. This woman believes that she is more attractive than she is (but if you don't promote yourself, no one else might) and she

  When will Jill fall off the face of the Earth? Out of all the bitterness and cat fights she’s one of the worse at getting drama started only to poorly lie about not understanding why she is hated. Then there are her two minions who are only around to gossip. When they were on the outs with her they crapped on her rep and now they are sucking her toes. After telling Bethany to get lost, Jill now acts as though she is a victim and is shocked that Bethany is not on her knees calling her or begging her to criticize her.
