A decade after winning it all in the third season of American Idol, Fantasia Barrino has carved out quite the solo career for herself. Four albums later, she’s racked up numerous Grammy nominations, (and nabbing a 2011 Grammy for Best Female R&B Performance for “Bittersweet”) and appeared in the lead of a 2007 musical version of The Color Purple. Last year’s Side Effects of You found her working with Missy Elliott and Kelly Rowland, formerly of Destiny’s Child.
