Ok....let me start by giving Tasia props....I'm proud of her for being able to bounce back from what seemed to be a dark time in her career. Fanny's back, with a new album in the works, a new Broadway stint, and a new reality show on Vh1.
I was initially very much afraid of what this show would entail. I can almost guarantee that I'm not the only African American tired of being portrayed as "ghetto" or "uneducated" in the mainstream media. While many of the scenes on her show proved to be just that, many of the others shed a decent light on Fantasia and her family.
What I liked: I'm proud of Fantasia for working as hard as she does to stay relevant. Fanny has accomplished so much in the six years that she has been on the scene, and has brought a lot of attention to the Triad area. Although she was the center of many horrible rumors (including a foreclosure scandal) she has only used this as her motivation to "keep on keepin' on". I have much respect for Fantasia.
What was a HOT MESS: Teeny. Enough said. This is Fantasia's 28 year old brother who does nothing but MOOCH off of Fantasia in the WORST way. This dude has no degree, no job, and shows no interest in getting either. While Teeny claims that he's too focused on his music, he is not bringing in any income. On top of all that, this guy (I refuse to call him a man) has TWO cars and NO drivers' license! And instead of getting up and looking for a job, this dude calls up one of his chicks to come with him to test drive a FERRARI. Are you kidding me?? You have NO job. Where do you think you're getting the money for a Ferrari? Fantasia? Ummm NO. And to make matters even worse, this man calls himself turning HER poolhouse into a studio, knocking out walls and ripping up her floors while she is gone.
Whew! With all that being said, Fantasia For Real proved to be quite comical. Whether you hate her or love her, you will find yourself on the edge of your seat waiting for the next episode.
