Fantasia

Fantasia made an immediate impression on American Idol with her stylized, gospel-influenced sound and her unconventional diction. Fantasia’s version of "Proud Mary" in her audition made her an early favorite.

But she stole the show and hearts of millions when she performed her version of "Summertime." This heartfelt and emotional performance earned raves from the judges and landed her on the Emmy Awards 2004 list of greatest television moments.
