In 2004, Fantasia Barrino made her way to stardom by winning the third season of American Idol. She had become an R&B and pop sensation over night everywhere. With the release of her first album “ Free Yourself”, this album went certified platinum. Barrino was nominated for eight Grammy awards and in 2007 stared in a well-known play called “ The Color Purple”. After the release of another album, there was a lot talk of fantasia being flat broke. Unable to barely read, she had been taken advantage of by several different people in her life. Not knowing anything about managing money, she would just pay people with out checking her finances afterwards. Fantasia had also been taking care of everyone in her family, including her daughter. Another reason why she went broke happened to be because of different people suing her including her own father for ten million dollars. In 2008, she was dropped from the label due to creative differences. For the next two years fantasia would stay out of the spotlight, trying to get her life, finances, and health in order. Earlier this year Barrino had released her third album titled “ Back to Me”. “ Even Angel” happened to be the first single to be released off of this album, but the single failed. Also earlier this year, fantasia stared in her own reality show “ Fantasia for Real”. This show put Barrino back on the map, and she once again releases her third album with “Bittersweet” as the single this pass may. With the premier of the second season of her show last month, Fantasia Barrino has been the subject of several topics in entertainment news lately. It was said that she had overdosed, with the intentions of committing suicide. This happens to be the result of a sex scandal. After all of this, she is still standing and continues to pursue her career in music.
My purpose for writing this blog is to show how Fantasia’s issues can be related to projects and team management. Throughout her reality show, you will see that Fantasia transitions into a bran new person. She has begun to form a team to help her better manage her career. Barrino has set future goals for herself and eventually goes back to school to receive her diploma. I think that it is a good thing that she is taking step to plan and take control of her life and career. By receiving her diploma in 2010, this could be considered one of the goals she has executed. Also, throughout the show you will see how she learns to budget and better manage her own money. Fantasia has moved into her own home and is letting her family members take care of themselves. Being in full control of all her projects, fantasia finally has the chance to writ her own songs, pick want single she want to release, decide how to market herself, and choose her own tour dates. With the release of Fantasia’s latest album, I truly think that customer have been satisfied with the product she chose to put out.
