ON THE SET: Fantasia Shoots "I'm Doin' Me" Vid In NYC

Oct 22 | by Natasha

Fantasia is keepin' it moving in her life and career these days after all her recent drama. She just shot her brand new video in NYC for her single "I'm Doin' Me" off her Back To Me album.

Flicks from the set when you read on...

Fanny tapped seasoned director Benny Boom to help her out with the colorful video. In it, she's declaring her freedom from an ex-boyfriend...or she may leave the audience wondering if she actually did. Oh how art imitates life....

I actually really like this dress. Was going back and forth about it at first, but there's something cute and fun about it.

Anyways, the vid premieres November 1st on VEVO, just days before the launch of her Back To Me tour in Norfolk, VA on November 5th.

Listen, not liking a person

Listen, not liking a person does not make you a hater. I wish Fantasia a better life in the future but as for her life now, foolish. She is a fool to be ready to leave HER CHILD(even though her mom is raising her) motherless. Her life proves that money can't buy you love and/or happiness. So rather than being on a set or on tour, go to intence therapy, leave the whole music scene(like an addict checking into a distant rehab center) and make her faith/religion more than a fad by making it a lifestyle. God(the one she claims) doesn't approve of suicide or sin. I know many of you will feel this is too deep or too hard on her but guess what....the truth sometimes hurt. And if she is promoting her show or music cause she needs money, that's not an excuse. As stated in CNN's Almighty Debt, lots of black people hide behind material things and don't want to down grade. She can sell some things, cut-down her staff, etc.. Finally, her croc tears over sleeping with a "seperated" man who turned out to be a lying married man score no points with me and the wives around the world. Even dummies can put two and two together if they wanted to. She's been around the block enough to know how most( NOT ALL) men operate.

Tameka,first let me say CHILD

Tameka,first let me say CHILD PLEASE,,,,,I see the other bloggers try to be nice with you , but you don't apperciate it ,As for I don't give a damn about you and you should't give I damn about me . Who they you think you is ???????? you going deep on Fantasia ,and asking do you understand that first grade BS you is talking . You start with wishing better for Fantasia , than come at her with the foolishness her child is motherless . how is her child child motherless? becaues she be on the road alot like the other celebrity , in that case all the other celebrity kids is without a parent or two. She need to give up her music ,sell her sh** ,and she score no points with you ,and other wives , girl you just read to be stright stupid . I don't know what your life is all about , but like you need a life or more of it if you , and clearly you is keeping up with Fantasia someone who you isn't feelin as you stated every move something is wrong in your life that need fixing . So BOO check yourself before you check others.

Good morning. Something told

Good morning. Something told me that if I were to checkout these replys, Fantasia's fans would be attacking my comments. How typical. It's obvious that her fans suffer from the pitiful, one track, narrow-minded, under educated angry black female syndrome. I'm done with making the case that if Fantasia's music couldn't save her before the drama, how can it now? I was merely making the suggestion based on what several public professionals have suggested. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH NEEDING TIME OFF AND TAKING IT. Next, can any of you read? I said, QUOTE: "She is a fool TO BE READY TO LEAVE her child motherless" end quote!! You guys are a joke and I admitt....i'm laughing my tale off at your ignorance. Next, why is it that "a man must have cheated on me" for me not to like this under talented drama-filled "singer"? THAT'S ALL YOU COULD COME UP WITH....PITIFUL, WHICH SAYS ALOT ABOUT HER FAN BASE. As for me researching her, she's not worth the effort. And I don't buy her music, I don't follow her every move but I do watch the show because after her suicide attempt I knew it would be interesting. The "reality" show credits her as 1 of the producers so I get enough insight in how she is and what she wants her viewers to believe. Just cause she's not my girl DOES NOT make me less sincere in hoping her future well. I sincerely feel that way for that poor child who I hope doesnt follow in Fantasia's footsteps. All the gifts in the world cant make up for the less than stellar example she is setting. But anyway, off Fantasia and on to you fools in steady denial; guess what? I find yall hilarious and since im use o having the last word, I could do this all day everday if I didn't have a life blessed with a great husband and healthy kids. Consider this my final reply since nothing I write would cause any of you to expand your thoughts or enhance your thinking process. I'M DONE

B*tch!!!!!!! You must be

B*tch!!!!!!! You must be Bi-Polar ,Crazy , Ignorant , and Stupid if you expect Fantasia to give up her music , because a Public Professional told you she should . What Public Professional ? Your Public Professional I hope , because you crazy azz need one. I'm too done with this fool.

You display signs of being Bi-Polar , everybody is stupud they are the smart people , and they usually is bool smart out side of that everything else is ignorant , and if you don't agree with what they say ,and they getts mad as HELL!!!!!!!! Always twisting people words around . I haven't read where on person saidshe don't like fantasia because her man cheated on her . I did read something like another must have taken her man thats why she's so anger at fantasia. Mrs. Tameka I'm telling you , you isn't a happy woman with a great husband , and no you isn't LYBO, because you is displaying too mush of anger over something so petty. I agree with another blogger check yourself before checking other .

Mrs . Tameka ,,I have read

Mrs . Tameka ,,I have read the 100 posts on here , and yes some of them are negative , but your bloggs are the only ones fulled with anger . Degrading people calling people names ,so it seems has if you have the problem . Yes you is right nothing wrong with taking a break from work if needed . You must not be reading yourself , other have said Fantasia have a therapist , and a life coach which obviously don't feel she needs to take time off since she haven't . As far as you not watching her every move , you may not watch her every move , but you do keep up with her , because her T.V show haven't showed her suicide attempt yet . So you lied about not keeping up with her i'm sure you is lying about this great husband you claim to have . You may not reply again .but you will be checking in again. I acn tell you is one of those nothing who think you is GODS gift to the world by what you say ( consider this my final reply since nothing I write would cause you to expand your thoughts or enhance your thinking process . Who is you to feel you is so smart , and everyone else is so dumb were everyone think the way you think . If you're not done you should be done. Another thing everybody who have a reality show is one of their own producers not just Fantasia . So don't try to make people believe she's the only one.

Ms. Tameka not that it matter

Ms. Tameka not that it matter to you , I've read your and other post ,and I only sence anger coming from you .Yes you did say you wish a better life for Fantasia in the future , but than you start to go hard on her ,saying her child is motherless .she's a fool , etc. If you where giving good advise no one will ever want to hear nothing you have to say ,because of the way you say things.You also need to further do your homework on Fantasia if you wish to speak about her the way you do , because according to Fantasia she is in therapy , and have a life coach .Clearly neither of them is advising her to give up her music like you feel she should ,and I think they know more about Fantasia than you , and I both ,so with all of that being said I think Fantasia will do better lif she take their advise over your advise someone who clearly bis issuries with her.

My comment says I wish her

My comment says I wish her better in her future but the two above comments would like to over look that (how covenient). Fools following fools will all end up failing FOR FAILURE TO CHANGE. So if I dont "know" her, do you or any of her "fans" know her? I know enough of not only what she has said, done, worn, performed seen with my own eyes AS WELL AS what others, blogs, and the music/entertainment world has wriitten about her. I AND OTHERS certainly do have enough on her to draw our own conclusion(s). Child please, all of us aren't project, single baby mamas on government aid so we ain't feelin her(maybe you can understand that talk better). As for me, I take the good with the bad anyday. People give me advice, some I like and some I don't. I appreciate it and at least consider it. No biggie because that's what mature people do. They address the bad, not cry over it and change for the better. Maybe my words and reality is too deep for you so here is a light example: If your breath stinks and everyone around you knows it does but you, would you not want at least 1 person to tell you the truth? And would you not want to correct that? My point in a nutshell

I agree with Tee , and more .

I agree with Tee , and more . I think you is a single baby mama on government aid ,and your man have left you for another woman , because you is to upset with Fantasia . I know you is trying to hide your anger , but it is senceable HUN . If you is so upset with a person who you don't know personally maybe you need therapy . If live is going good for you , baby you isn't dead yet anything can happen .so PLEASE watch what you say about others.

As far as whoever not feelin her , don't try to keep up with her , don't buy or listen to her music . Finally as a fan of Fantasia i'm claiming she will make changes for the better ,and the best will happen for her .

Not a fan. i admit she has a good voice but she has a tnedency to start screaming. When you have a strong voice there is no ned to yell. Fantasia is not that cute Sorry! she is not marketable in the way the entertainment biz is going. It is very noticeable that the singer who cannot sing that well are all over the charts with hit after hit because most are pretty girls with style and very fashionable. Fanny needs a stylist and fast. she also needs to get herself together and let go of that degrading reality Tv show.

And to piggy back off you, King Pen - you are right: NO ONE IS WITHOUT SIN. Just hope/pray/wish that she learns from whatever mistakes she has made, and become a stronger wiser woman for herself and her child. WE do not know the circumstances surrounding that relationship. And there is not a woman/man alive that has not fell for the hype of what someone has said. Show me that you have never been a victim to a lie, and I have a bridge to sell you.

Being Dominican doesn't make her mixed breed being from the Dominican Republic speaks more on her heritage. She looks no more mixed than Yaya Da Costa, Sessilee Lopez and Rosa Cordero. All of those ladies are quite black but not mixed. Hispanics don't like to claim her because they say she is too black, that's how it is with a lot of Hispanics but she is Dominican.

Her first problem is all that

Her first problem is all that hollering she does ontop oh her over use of "her we go". She needs to stop playng with God by simulating the church in her worldly, sinful performances. Although she up plays her body/nice shape because I think it helps her feel it makes up for her facial features, she is tooooo ghetto hoodish with her effort toward sexyness. Look at how Keisha Cole has upgraded herself gracefully. Fantasia can do it to if people stop condoning her behavior. She needs tough love from her surronders because the example her life and style shows is inappropriate for a mother...famous or not!

@NOT A FAN... do you care to

@NOT A FAN... do you care to explain or elaborate how is she "stimulating" the church? I for one don't think she has not once mocked the church. I give her props that on her albums she may have a song that will speak to her faith. Also, you suggested that her supporters and/or people around her should not condone her behavior? What behavior? She has had ONE sensationalized happenstance. I think we (gossip readers/public/media/fans/non-fans/etc) have not heard the entire story, yet we have put together an outcome based on pictures and clips of converstations. I think before we become trial and jury of OTHER peoples lives, we should take inventory of our own. We do not know what that man was telling her or his wife. Yet we are faulting her - but he was married and is held accountable for his actions, and stepping out the marriage. Fantasia is and was like any other woman, who has wanted to believe that man she fell for was/is telling her the truth. We do not the conditions on how she really met him. But I digress. I'm so happy to know that "where you are from" you don't tolerate disrespect. I hope you take a page out of that book, and stop degrading and promoting yourself to be a: red bone/yellow sister with gold teeth... whom happens to be 33? Yet a LADY at 33 would be using proper english and grammer.

This site is not a lesson plan and I get no grade from it dear so I typed fastly to give my opinion. It is typical typos boo....far from ignorance so don't you be no fool. Many and most coments are rushed as the contents show. This was my VERY first time commenting on a website and I thought I was rather kind in my comments toward Fantasia by not dogging her out completely. This will be my VERY last time commenting on a celeb because I see know that most people(who are usually the insecure folks) can not take, hear, and/or handle constructive criticism.
