“American Idol”: Who’s Your (Baby)Daddy? April 6, 2005 By Debbie Schlussel
Being an unwed teen mother is “a badge of honor,” right?
That was the scheduled message of this week’s “American Idol,” courtesy of Fantasia Barrino.
Barrino—the young unwed, single mother who won last season’s “AI”— was set to showcase her biggest song, “Baby Mama,” according to weeks of press reports.
Fortunately, at the last minute, she performed another song.
“Baby Mama” couldn’t send a worse message to young American girls—and boys—that watch the show in droves.
Barrino sings that being a “Baby Mama”— an unwed, single mother—is a good thing, “Cuz now-a-days, it [sic] like a badge of honor to be a baby mama.”
Oh, really? Maybe Fantasia won’t be singing that tune when her daughter, Zion, becomes a teen “Baby Mama” herself

That show is still on?
If Debbie Schlussel married John Stossel she'd be Debbie Schussel-Stossel.
Which is probably why they made her change it at the last minute. I was wondering why she was still doing the song that she won with a year ago.
Take my word for it, it doesn't matter what she sings, she's just awful. Heard her last night and my ears are still ringing.
Yep, just like it's a "badge of honor" to be a failure scholastically, join a gang, live a (short) life of crime, and walk around with $300 basketball shoes and pants with crotches positioned at the knees.
I was forced to change the channel!
What was all that screeching.
They could open a pastry shop called Schussel-Stossel Strudel.
And if they had a daughter named Melissa Felicia, who married a Count: Contessa Melissa Felicia Schussel-Stossel.
They could open a pastry shop called Schussel-Stossel Strudel.
And sell pasta: Schussel-Stossel Strudel Noodle.
I never liked Fantasia.
She was worse then ever last night.
If there wasn't anything wrong with your hearing before there would have been after listening to her. How about all that jumping around the stage that went along with it? She also gave some stupid advice to the contestants about just being bad or something like that.
I Unfortunately turned it on for the last 30 seconds or so of her "performance". All it was, was screaming non words over and over. If that passes for entertainment, I want no part of it.
We don't need no "Baby Mama" drama.
That was really dreadful.
My wife inflicts AI on me every week. And as for Fantasia, I call her Billie Bass (After the gag Christmas give a few years ago of a singing wall mounted bass, both have huge mouth and both can't sing worth a lick.)
I couldn't believe it when they said she had sold one million cd's, but someone on the AI thread said some big R&B guys had pushed it hard and that her real cd sales were low.

Fantasia.
Wasn't she the ugly one?
