Fantasia Looks Great!

Fantasia Barrino has something besides “American Idol” in common with Jordin Sparks and Jennifer Hudson. She’s been hitting the gym getting her body back in order. In recent weeks she’s posted up photos of herself and her North Carolina based trainer getting it in and it looks like her hard work has been paying off.

Fantasia had a listening party last night in West Hollywood–and she looked great. The singer was joined by Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and The-Dream among others, as she showed off her new look and her new album, Side Effects of You.

Fantasia has had a rough few years, but it looks like she may be bouncing back.

She introduced a new track called “If I Was A Bird” and explained her state of mind.

“This song that I’m about to play is very, very, very dear to me. For some reason birds are here in my dreams lately. Eagles. They are in my dreams,” she shared. “I always say, everything happens for a reason. Birds fly free and I feel like God has turned me into a bird at this point in my life. I’m not going to carry any of that anymore. I’m just going to fly and travel the world, and tell my testimony, and not live in my past but look forward to my future.”
