Fantasia Boycotted The Grammys Over Aretha Franklin Tribute

Fantasia Boycotted The Grammys

Even though Fantasia won a Grammy for "Bittersweet", she wasn't at The Grammys due to her being upset that she was not picked to do the Aretha Franklin which had another  American contestant Jennifer Hudson who was part of the tribute.

She was at 106 Park and explained her situation.

"I'm going to be very honest with you. You know I wasnt at the Grammys last night. I'm kind of going through my own little thing... Last night they were honoring someone who is my idol, Aretha Franklin, and there is no way I could have sat there and not got the happy feet and wanting to jump on the mic because she is my favorite so I felt like, you know, at the end of the day I should have been on that stage so, I kind of did my own little thing last night. I watched Cee-lo's performance, I love Cee lo, love Gaga, watched Gaga, and I love Rihanna's performance, but I kind of cooked and did my own think last night and was in my own world and was hoping that I won. I have this feeling, like every year I go, I feel like they always look over some of the good singers that are still around and I'm not trying to be funny but that's just the way I felt."

Fantasia Interviews With SFgate.com

Q: Let's start with a list: Win "American Idol"? Check. Write autobiography? Check. Movie? Check. Reality show? Check. Broadway? Check. Top 10? Check. You don't need to go on tour. You can just retire now.

A: No, no, no. There's so much more to do. I look up to all those great artists like Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan and Diana Ross. They can still hit the stage and do their thing. I want to be like that. I have a long way to go.

Q: If you could step into a time machine and go back to the day before your first "Idol" audition, how would you prepare yourself for the past six years?

A: I don't know if I can answer that. But I know I wouldn't change a thing. Even though there were rough times - there were blows I wasn't ready for - I wouldn't change anything. I can say that today.

Q: Are you amazed you're standing here today?

A: When you're a celebrity, people sometimes make you out to be a robot. They forget we're only human. I'm that artist who says I'm just like you. Whatever is going on in my life, I'm not ashamed about expressing it and talking about it. It makes it seem to people like, "This girl has been through so much." But I will always be that artist who puts it out there. I don't know what other way to be.

Q: Does that kind of honesty get you in trouble sometimes?

A: No, because I want to get it all out there. I run into a lot of people who come up to me and begin to share things with me. And I always think, "I can't believe they said that to me!" It's because I've been open, so people feel like they can be open with me. I'm a young girl who can sing. It doesn't make me different from anybody else.

Q: Who was the first person to call you after you got out of the hospital following your suicide attempt?

A: I won't watch my VH1 show, but I turned on the TV last night and it happened to be about the hospital. At first I didn't want to watch the show because there are lots of things I don't want to relive. But I decided to face it. So I watched it and I cried again. All those people I was trying to please, none of them were there for me when I got out of the hospital. I don't care anymore. My caring is what sent me to that dark place not too long ago. I was so worried about pleasing everyone around me, I forgot about myself. That side of me is long gone.
