第三届（2004年）“美国偶像”冠军。参加《American Idol》以前，Fantasia Barrino从没隐瞒她是一个未婚妈妈的身分。Fantasia Barrino的胜利，不单标志这个比赛并没有轻视未婚妈妈，更重要的是，她打破了美国电视观众有种族歧视的说法。

参赛年龄：19
出生地: High Point, NC
海选城市：Atlanta

个人介绍：只有19岁的Fantasia Barrino，无论在人生抑或唱歌的路途上，都非常崎岖。参加《American Idol》以前，Fantasia Barrino从没隐瞒她是一个未婚妈妈的身分，回忆带女儿Zion谋生的日子，怎说也不好过，或许这分背城借一的战意，正是她能击败逾万名参赛者、最终获得6500万观众投票支持的原动力吧？

还记得当大会宣布她险胜对手Diana DeGarmo，荣膺第3届《American Idol》冠军时，她激动得拥抱对手并嚎啕大哭﹕「我真的很努力，终于可以跟Kelly Clarkson拥有同一荣誉了﹗」Fantasia Barrino的胜利，不单标志这个比赛并没有轻视未婚妈妈，更重要的是，她打破了美国电视观众有种族歧视的说法。
