oh Fantasia.... always something

[Edited 2/23/13 15:28pm]

I side with Fanta on this one.

I was getting ready to bash her for being such a baby but looking at the photos she wanted them to choose from, I guess I can see her point. She looks absolutely stunning in these new photos. She looks like a high-fashion model.

Its a tough one, though i can agree with her "reasons" she also shouldnt be signing over photography rights either. Case in point i can remember on the Rick Springfield "Behind the Music", basically what people dont realize is that Rick had a huge hit prior to Jessies Girl, he had a Top 20 hit in 1972 called "Speak to the sky" upon that being a Hit, Rick was interviewed for all the TEEN mags and photo's etc...Rick at that time was still a kid, 22,23. BUT when Rick exploded in 1980 with "Jessies Girl" and General Hospital and a run of hits, the same MAGS wanted him for interviews and pics, this NOW 31,32 year old was getting covers again this time not with David Cassidy and DOnny Osmond, but Willie Aamees and Leif Garret and Scott Baio DESPITE not even sitting down with them and re-interviewing or photoshooting again, or even saying i agree to be in a teen magazine though im 33 years old. Fantasia pretty much doesnt have a shot on this one. Good

wow..she turned into Lisa Fischer circa 1993

No one reads JET anyway, if she would have kept quiet, no one would have noticed!!

i totally agree with her if beyonce can try and control her image and what photos we see of her fanny can do it too without people talking shit about her.prince and michael has always done that with their image

Thats a different situation though.

Fantasia's crazy, and it'll be a cold day in hell before she gets a public apology, but I side with her on this one. Sure Jet has the legal right and editorial prerogative to use the image they chose, but picking a photo that clearly outdated -- unless they are doing a decidedly retrospective piece -- is tantamount to publishing an equally outdated interview. It's just crappy editorial practice.

With some color correction, that last submitted photo could have worked fine.

That's what I was thinking I'm surprised that JET magazine is still around.I haven't read that magazine in years.Fantasia is making a fuss about nothing.

Not really, whenever you shoot with a magazine or interview, its their property, they can use any photo of her that she "legally" has done with them on their cover, as long as she signed off on it at one point and its theirs, she lost her right, if they dont like the shoot they could trash it and not use any of it, its happend millions of times with models, they shoot 200 shots and 3 make the magazine, its not their call. True i get her reasoning, but she isnt gonna come out on top with this

I know that part. I'm saying Fanta was pretty sure they were gonna use the new photos they just shot and not some 10 year American Idol winning shots.

So I can see her being pissed as why not put the new photos we just did (showing off her new look) instead of some stuff that's been used instead of some old pics we've seen before.

I agree with Fantasia.

I also think its ridiculous how they used 10 YEAR old photos, I think thats triflin.

I think the reason why they didnt use them is because Fantasia looks stunning in them..... SHADE

That article ain't shit!

"(albeit grammatically challenged) message requesting a public apology from JET."

(Fantasia is so not attractive to me imho)

Or Ebony for that matter.

Though I can say Jet is real tacky for this...

I can understand why they didn't want to use the first two photos but the third one would have made a nice cover photo. I'm with Fantasia on this, too.

Not to cause an uproar or anything but from what I've seen, the Black mags, with the exception of Essence, use old pics of celebs all the time. Trifling? Yes, but it's not uncommon.

The 1st 2 photos are too much, and the skin/makeup looks bad

They could have used the 3rd

I understand her gripe, why would Jet use a 10yr old picture

You are right. I can recall alot of times this has been done. I do not know why these black mags do this though

Can't argue with that...

That's exactly what I thought.

Um, so am I the only one who thinks they chose the first picture because she's more recognizable... and she looks better in it?

I liked her new pics. What was wrong? Awww, Fannie. I feel bad for her.

Who still gets Ebony and Jet anyway? I only see them in 7-11's. It was your grandparents, or favorite auntie that had them lined up on the coffee table.

Ebony has changed too. Nene was on the cover. I saw T.I. and Tiny on the cover, and flipped inside and saw Wiz & Amber. Yeah, this is a different Ebony and Jet from the Dr. King tributes, and stories on Civil Rights leaders.

I always tell myself to unsubscribe from those magazines. That'll save me and my fam $17 every month!

well just for a mention, Magazines are going to be all gone soon anway, everything is going to be online and those photomagazines like Maxim and King and SHOW all those type ones, are going digital online only later this year.

Yeah,Ebony and Jet have really gone downhill.I don't read those magazines anymore.This is the kinda crap that Ebony writes about these days:

reality show stars this ain't the same Ebony that I grew up with
