Atlanta, if you missed the Chaka Khan tribute concert, you missed a night this city will be talking about for a long time — and Fantasia made sure of that. Tasia hit the stage and took everybody straight to church and back with her performance of the Rufus classic “Tell Me Something Good,” and FreddyO was right there to capture it.
There is a short list of singers who can stand in front of a crowd and sing a legend’s signature song without blinking, and Fantasia is on it. She did not try to copy Chaka note for note — she put her own soul, her own growl and her own testimony into it, and the crowd felt every word. When Tasia gets in that zone, there is not a voice in the game that can touch her.
The night celebrated the music of a true icon, and Fantasia also saluted Prince, proving once again that real artistry crosses generations. Since winning American Idol, she has taken her share of hits in her personal life, but nights like this are a reminder of why we fell in love with her in the first place: that voice is a gift, plain and simple.
Press play and watch Tasia do what she does best. If this is how 2010 is starting, R&B is in good hands. Tell me in the comments — who else could have pulled this off?
