From E!online:

Season-three winner, Fantasia Barrino, is now living her life all over again. The soulful singer, whose rough road to the top captivated fans' hearts as well as their eardrums, is playing herself in a Lifetime TV movie called Life Is Not a Fairytale: The Fantasia Barrino Story, which just is scheduled to begin filming this month in New Orleans.

"Fantasia made America fall in love with her through her astounding voice, but few people knew the obstacles she overcame to get where she is now," Trevor Walton, senior VP of Lifetime Original Movies, said in a statement.

That is, unless you never watched Idol, saw Barrino make the talk-show rounds or read her book, where she discussed her single motherhood, illiteracy, poverty and a run of bad luck before her Idol-made happy ending--the kind of story tailor-made for Lifetime's femme-heavy audience.

I still don't know how I feel about Fantasia.I liked her first single "Truth Is",but the follow-up singles were crap

She's talented though.With stronger material,she could go far.
