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."
