Doesn't matter if you prefer Fantasia, Cynthia or any of the other incredible women that have sung this song... If they connected and gave with their entire heart every single lyric written in this piece, then they deserve all of the recognition they receive for being strong enough to go through that 8 times a week.

Mark my words right now..Once the color purple movie releases, Fantasia is going to sweep all the acting awards. Fantasia deserves her resurgence into the industry and this will be the moment she needs to remind us why she’s a legend. Too many folks don’t put her in the conversation of greats, well this movie will do just that. Hold me to it…

Knowing that a Star, could cherish an old grandmother make me proud to say “ I knew her when she was a little girl running around outside of the church that her grandparents had came to perform. “ Fantasia , I bow to you to say thank you for the happiness you gave Mrs. Watts. She watched your career and talked proudly about you all the time. Fantasia is truly a child of God. We love you.

Fantasia's success here isn't that she has necessarily the biggest voice, nor is she known as an actor, but her commitment to this role and the emotion she portrays. One could try to pass this off as stunt casting, but when she is on that stage, she is Celie 100%. Fantasia does something I don't know if Cynthia Erivo pulls off. Fantasia allows herself to be ugly. I am by no means saying Fantasia herself is ugly, in fact, she is stunning when she dresses up. Celie isn't the most physically attractive person and I would find it hard to believe that someone would call someone that looks like Cynthia Erivo ugly and beat her for it. But Fantasia brings it down and isn't worried about being the face on the poster to sell tickets.

What’s sad is that Whoopi should have won an Oscar back when the original came out. She was superb and they snubbed her. 😒

They will give the Oscar to Bailey. They would give Fantasia a cast award, with the other actors. Maybe, a supporting award.

I have seen both Fantasia and Cynthia live and both have amazing voices and shine in their own ways. Cynthia has a very beautiful and great range in her voice. There is something very special about when Fantasia sings an emotional song that pulls you in and brings you to tears. With Cynthia I hear the words and with Fantasia I feel the words, it's hard to describe but you can hear when someone has been through a lot, there's a gut wrench and depth in their voice that is testimony to the joys and pains throughout their lifetime. I can't explain it but you know it when you hear it as it pulls you in and stops you in your track. I hope Fantasia plays Celie in the screen version of The Colour Purple. I can only see her playing the part at that level.

I gotta be honest, I love Cynthia's version but her singing is a little too pretty for me. I prefer Fantasia's, there's a rawness there that is more true to the character and her struggles. I truly feel it. When Fantasia performs I don't just see her acting, I see Celie's pain, her pain, the pain of millions of black women that have struggled over the centuries.

I love Cynthia, her voice is the truth… but fantasia , Fantasia … this is the difference in casting an African American over a Afro British person. Our experience here in America is unique. Our experience with colorism is unique…. and a lot of it parallels with fantasias real life. I can not wait to see her win her this Oscar!

She was phenomenal and empowering, I just love this woman and I'm thankful God has blessed her life. Fantasia has come full circle and 2024 she gonna win EVERYTHING! I read her book "Life Isn't A Fairy Tale" twice and she stated ...to much is given is required! She is definitely a QUEEN!
