Fantasia is readying a new album this year and what better way to kick start it with a "Behind The Scenes" episode. As if we didn't already know everything about Fantasia. What else will be revealed? I mean Fantasia's life has pretty much been an open book. We can also look for the second season of Fantasia's reality show; "Fantasia: For Real" as well.
"American Idol" the television show may have the summer and fall off, but a couple of its alumni will get airtime in the coming months as subjects for the popular VH1 series "Behind the Music."The new season begins June 7 with scheduled episodes focusing on Courtney Love, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez. Season 3's Jennifer Hudson is also on the summer slate.
Then, in the fall, Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino will get a starring "BTM" turn. No date yet for when "BTM" will air, but probably in time for the new season of "Fantasia for Real," her VH1 reality show that was recently picked up for a second season. Its January 2010 premiere was the network's highest-rated show, with 2.3 million viewers. Season 2 was announced to be returning in summer/fall 2010.
Are there other Idols who deserve a "Behind the Music" episode of their own? Whom would you like to see as the focus of an hourlong biography?
John Legend Wrapping Up New Album!John Legend is a pretty lucky guy. He sang the national anthem at the World Series and joined Stevie Wonder onstage at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert last fall — on the same day.
The piano-playing crooner will follow those achievements with the release of his next album, Wake Up Sessions, with the Roots. According to Legend, he’s been a fan of the Philadelphia band since his college days, when he was a student at the University of Pennsylvania.
“We’re, like, 99 percent done. We’ve done all the recording, and now we’re mixing half the album, and it’s coming out in September,” the singer told MTV News. “I’m very excited about it. It’s gonna be a very interesting, very cool album. And like I said, I’m a big fan of the Roots. I’m excited to be able to put out an album with the Roots. This is a group I’ve been following since I was a kid at UPenn. I would go to open mics and watch them host the open mics, wishing I could be onstage with them, and now I’m in the studio with them making this album, and it’s pretty exciting.”
Legend and the Roots joined forces last month to perform at a 40th-anniversary Earth Day event. Wake Up Sessions is the follow-up to Legend’s 2008 album, Evolver, which featured the Andre 3000-assisted “Green Light.”
