In anticipation of her third studio album, 'Back to Me,' 'American Idol' winner Fantasia Barrino recently graced our L.A. studio for a live Sessions performance.Taped just days before her much-publicized hospitalization, the soulful singer was in good spirits as the cameras rolled. In the following exclusive clip, you can catch a glimpse of Fantasia's infectious personality as she lounges in the green room, glams up for her photo shoot and takes the mic for her big performance.
Get a sneak peak at the Sessions experience in the video after the jump. The full performance will be launching on Tuesday, Aug. 24.

OK KT. You sound just like what you described. You should be the next American Idol!!!
He will be history soon, not soon enough, talentless. Just wait til his voice changes, then he will have to get a real job, can he say do you want fries with that?
Maybe she's ghetto and you are PWT what's the difference
Are you somewhat dissatisfied with your life or didn’t find enough sunshine or brihgtness in life?

Yep, you truly are an American Idol KT. Your family should be very proud of you.
IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT HER...DON'T SAY NOTHING. SHE IS HUMAN! AS WITH YOU, SHE IS NOT PERFECT. SHE SINGS PROFESSIONALLY...THAT'S ALL. STOP PLACING HER ON SOME HIGH PEDESTAL. PRAY FOR HER INSTEAD OF DISSING HER!
I love you FANTASIA! Can't wait to get your album in my hands on August 24th. Already pre-ordered it from Amazon!!!!

It's what fame does to a fragile uneducated, poor person. they surround themselves with toxic relatives and paid hanger-oners.They die of drugs that were provided the leeches around them. Fantasia is not as talented as Elvis and Michael, but it's the land of opportunity. So, she can die like the stars!!!

I love Fantasia. I've met her several times and she's the most humble person ever. She gave me and my Mom a big hug and kiss like she's known us forever. She even gave us a ride home when my Dad was late picking us up. I really hate people for talking bad about her, she's such an angel and she doesn't deserve that.

"She's 100 times better than Elvis" you say? Well that certainly does alot to show where your IQ level is.
It's a pity she's too "ethnic" to appeal to non-blacks....she's got nothing but a huge mouth !
Let's not pretend Elvis was some great musical genius. He stole all of his music and dance moves from black artists.
Fantasia!!!! You go girl. Don't worry about what anybody says. You don't have to answer to anyone except the man above. I don't think anyone out there talking have perfect lives. You do you and that's on the real. I LOVE YOU TASIA!!!!!
