Taylor Hick’s Album Now Available

Can’t believe I missed this one after highlighting that Fantasia’s album was available on December 12th. Taylor Hick’s full album was available on the 12th as well.

It Was No “Fairy Tale” for Fantasia’s Dad

Fantasia Barrino’s dad has sued the publisher, Simon & Schuster, of Fantasia’s memoirs “Fantasia: Life Is Not a Fairytale”. He claims that the information was false and inaccurate.
