Ok, so Total Praise is one of my FAVORITE gospel songs, and I must admit that I love Fantasia as a gospel singer. Here she is doing a version of Total Praise. It's in three videos:
These videos (and a conversation that my friend and I had today) brought me to my "Uncanny'ed" Question of the Day: "Why is it so hard to find or follow your followed purpose in life?"
Honestly, I believe Fantasia was CALLED to sing Gospel. Do you see her passion in this song?? My friend asked a very honest question: "Who is really buying Fantasia's R&B albums?" I know I'm not, BUT I do know that if she were to do a gospel album, I would be the first one in line to actually buy her album.
I think about passion vs. money, and I truly believe that purpose only follows one. You choose your purpose--and I'll choose mine.
Peace.

I agree that Fantasia is called to sing gospel, but you have to remember that she is 24-25 years old and there are certain sacrifices that have be made if you choose to walk totally with the Lord. I am not sure if at 24 she is willing to make those sacrifices, I know I probably wouldn't be willing to make them.
She sees her peers in the clubs performing and having fun, you can't do that singing gospel. She has a on again/ off again rap star boyfriend and he would not be a good look if she was a gospel singer.
I give her another 5 years and I think she will be ready for the gospel world.
This brings back soooo many memories. It's definitely one of my faves! Shout out to WCMBC Youth Choir '97-'01!
