Fantasia Barrino - Summertime Lyrics






Ooooooo
Ooooooo

Summertime
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

You’re daddy’s rich
And your mom is good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singing
Then you spread your wings
And fly to the sky

But till the mornin’
There’s nothing can harm you
With mama and daddy
Standing by

One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singing
Then you spread your wings
And fly to the sky

But till that morning
There’s nothing can harm you
With mama and daddy
Standing by

  5. T.... W....

    All these years later I'm still in love

  6. M.... B....

    I agree with Randy. Best performance in American Idol history

  7. R.... C....

    To look at thos now. Wow. I remember watching this. That a my girl.

  8. T.... B....

    Quintin Tarantino, in this moment, proved why having guest judges is a bad idea

  9. T.... B....

    2020 anyone?

  10. T.... B....

    I don’t think you’ve ever put those lips to better use.... WTF does that mean?

  11. J.... E....

    Will never forget how Fantasia had households all over the country shook this night. My family was completely silent the whole performance

  12. C.... A....

    Never watched much AI but I watched season 3 - and this moment I still have flagged in my memory as something truly exceptional. She's a truly gifted performer who conveys feeling, which is much more rare. Personally, I wish she was in an earlier or different age as her voice has so much color, depth and beauty to me it's bit lost on the modern genre of R&B, So I love the competition material as, for me, you can more readily see all that her talent has to offer.

  13. D.... D....

    THAT RUN AT THE END.......GEESH!! FIRE. SHE SHOULD IF ALREADY HAD A CONTRACT. LOL

  14. C.... C....

    Holy shit she is absolutely fantastic! I've never heard a more magnificent voice in my life, she gives me chills. What a beautiful, charming young lady she is too. Very sweet, very lovely. Just tremendous. Simon was certainly right when he said magical...This series was never in doubt. She made Clarkson and Studdard look mediocre in comparison and they were great in their own right.

  15. D.... ....

    Beautiful song by a beautiful lady. But who is El Dude telling her "...Enough of the Great Lady tour!....Get funky. Come back and rock"? Yeah, yeah; I know he's Quentin somebody who makes movies, but why does he assume competence to assert (stereotype?) Fantasia's "proper" musical style/genre? She can sing anything. If she sang nursery rhymes, she could make the Cow change her mind about jumping over the moon and make the Dish change his mind about running away with the Spoon. Fantasia.

  16. i.... ....

    Ada yang kesini gara2 liat Ainun Idol Indonesia 2019 ga?


    Indonesian Idol, 2019

  17. K.... I....

    Mannnn... This is still one of her best performances. Yes , I’m watching this in 2019.

  18. C.... S....

    Simon loved him some Fantasia. He did NOT hide it. LOL 😀

  19. A.... ....

    The competition was over after this performance. This sealed the deal for her.. from this point, it was just a race for 2nd place.. One of, if not the best performance ever in the history of American Idol.

  20. L.... T....

    Did that guest judge not hear her? The response HE gave was he wanted to be heard! Not a good guest judge choice in my opinion, what a strange response behind a performance like that. Wow!🤔

    L.... T....

    Lawana Tabron I have one thing to say... you haven’t been funky in weeks

  21. E.... J....

    I wanna vote again!!!!!!!

  22. S.... C....

    Yep
    Back in 2019 listen 😂

    S.... C....

    September 2019! How can we not? !!!

  23. c.... ....

    Tone tone tone is what its all about!

  24. s.... ....

    the best the best the best! magical! quentin needs his meds

  25. w.... b....

    13 years ago 😯😯😯

  26. J.... B....

    Who's still here in 2019 🤩

  27. S.... C....

    This was when American Idol was strictly about the voice. Now it's a boot-camp to create super stars, which the last big star from idol, to me, was Kerry Underwood.

  28. I.... W....

    no offense, bu this makes the current idol look like high school singing competition

    I.... W....

    hahaha I completely agree

  29. F.... J....

    2019 anyone?

  30. y.... s....

    魅力的

  31. P.... F....

    This is the best performance I watched on Idol. Fantasia has that powerful soulful quality like Aretha...it moves you. It takes you to another place...close your eyes and it's an experience.

  32. 2.... ....

    If I could go anywhere in infinity right now I would arrive at the moment I first ever saw this performance and freeze myself in time.

  33. r.... c....

    attention everybody Fantasia new single called "Enough" its available now on itunes, Amazon com and other outlets and make sure yall go stream the video for the song here on yotuube and please keep on repeat cause she is gonna need aleast 10 million views to chart high

  34. C.... E....

    2k19!!! Still coming back to listen to this ...

  35. S.... I....

    I remember watching this with my grandmother and we were both crying....my grandma was yelling and saying fantasia won already😍😍...BEST AI PERFORMANCE EVER!!!!

  36. D.... S....

    I had to come Here in April 2019. Still one of my favourite performance on American idol.

  37. j.... ....

    Over a decade later and this is still one of the best idol performances ever

  38. K.... S....

    It’s 2019 I still get goosebumps from this performance. I stopped watching the idol after that year. She set the bar too high!

  39. D.... q....

    everytime I listen to this I get chills

  40. B.... ....

    So she has a sex tape, right?

  41. K.... S....

    Still watching in 2019. Still one of THE BEST performances.

  42. S.... m....

    Baby, this was one of American Idol's most memorable performances for sure. I watched it and cried like a baby.

  43. B.... L....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  44. J.... R....

    AMEN AMEN AMEN.... YOU KILLED IT GIRL....

  45. M.... J....

    Fantastic is in a class all by herself, her voice is a one of a kind musical instrument, should be insured by Lloyd's of London and registered with the Smithsonian

  46. M.... M....

    Aaaw😍. He was wiping her tears. Everyone loves Fantasia. She's just that lovable.💟💟💟

  47. t.... r....

    BEST AMERICAN IDOL PERFORMER EVER!!!!

  48. g.... ....

    Amazing but I also really liked Leona Lewis version!

  49. A.... L....

    still gives me chills

  50. M.... O....

    She was my favorite of all seasons and this was the best. Unbelievable.
    I wept.

  51. J.... D....

    Whitney Houston said it best “There is a difference between being able to sing and Knowing How to Sing”

  52. s.... ....

    Wednesday night, April 14th, 2004: the night Fantasia slammed the door shut on everybody in Season 3.

  53. j.... k....

    an amazing emotion.i love it

  54. O.... L....

    This is the Fantasia I adore. I hate the screaming and shouting. This performance by her is untouchable. Her true talent shines right here.

    O.... L....

    True it's her voice that shines, she doesn't have to do all of that

  55. S.... L....

    This performance still gives me chills

  56. A.... W....

    Best idol perfprmance ever

  57. M.... C....

  61. j.... ....

    Even after all these years, still THE performance against which all Idol iconic performances are based. There's NO NEED to speculate as to why.

  62. t.... ....

  63. r.... c....

  75. s.... ....

    I still get chills from this performance. Just amazingly beautiful.

  76. t.... ....

  77. T.... ....

    One of the top 5 performances ever on American Idol

  78. K.... S....

    K.... S....

    Kelli Smith You were in the audience ? WOW.

    K.... S....

  79. r.... c....

    attention Fantasia Fans dont miss her on June 6 cause shes giving a free concert in Orlando Florida in front of city hall on Orange Ave in Downtown Orlando for more info call star 94.5 dont miss cause your gonna be in for a treat

  80. E.... ....

    Fantasia, I CRIED TOO, OMG, you're phenomenal.

    And hey folks, let's all just stop comparing her and Jennifer Hudson, both are amazing singers and performers.

  81. t.... ....

    1:37 -- That last vocal run was amazing. Fantasia was my pick to win from the beginning but this performance was just so good.

    t.... ....

    Go to breaking down the riffs with Natalie Weiss. She breaks it down. :)

  82. Y.... U....

    OMG she's amazing!

  83. U.... ....

    This was her encore performance not the original time she sang it, still as awesome

    U.... ....

    UniquelyMade This was the first time she sang it, not the encore

  84. L.... ....

    I remember watching this beautiful performance the night it aired... in that moment I knew she'd win! Such a beautiful moment :)

  85. r.... c....

    attention everybody dont miss Fantasia Live in concert at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on May 9 tickets are available now at ticketmaster so get them before there gon cause this concert will be epic

  86. L.... B....

    shes amazing, but jennifer hudson was a better vocalist. Jennifer is one of the best vocalists alive today

    L.... B....

    @Leo Bergmiller i doubt it cause fantasia has sold way more records then she do jennifer hudson just get recognize because she won a award but in reality fantasia is the bigger star thats why she won and back then on american idol you had to be the best to win

    L.... B....

    @ron campbell Saying Fantasia sold more albums isn't saying anything....THATS ALL FANTASIA DID WAS SING!!! Hudson had an acting career ALONG with singing.....And I'm sorry Jennifer Hudson RIGHT NOW is more popular than Fantasia....plus the fact, The LA Times named Hudson the THIRD greatest Idol contestant of ALL TIME behind Clarkson and Underwood...and let's see....as far as music is concerned, Hudson won or was nominated for Best female R&B artist and best new artist (BET Awards 2007), Best R&B Album, best female R&B vocal performance and best R&B performance as a duo (with Fantasia ironically enough) at the 2008 GRAMMYS....outstanding new artist, outstanding duo (with Fantasia), outstanding female artist, outstanding  album (won)...2009 NAACP Awards....and a bunch of others from 2010-2014.....so Hudson DOES have awards from her singing....AND...Hudson elimination on idol was the 2nd most controversial in AI HISTORY....One more thing.....there are more NON winners that have done well than actual WINNERS....Hudson, Daughtry, Adam Lambert, Clay Aiken just to name a few.....And that show has proven in MANY seasons, the best singer doesn't win...Let's see....Taylor Hicks??? wasn't the best singer....Lee Dwayze?? DEFINITELY not....Jordin Sparks?? Loved her...but Melinda Doolittle was the best singer...Fantasia?? Well, she should have won the finale vs Diana.....but Hudson AND Latoya London were just as good....Phillip Phillips?? Are you SERIOUS??? he shouldn't have been IN the finale much less win it...Joshua and Jessica were the best singers....Kris Allen??? Yeah, you're telling me he was better than ADAM LAMBERT??? NOT....AI is a POPULARITY CONTEST...not a singing competition.....how many times have you seen contestants be on the show much longer than they should because of a sympathy vote?? Like Lazaro (the dude who stuttered)...he was AWFUL!!! but yet he made it to the top 6....Sanjaya......was AWFUL...he got into the top 7 or 8.....

    L.... B....

    jennifer hudson just get awards and things cause the industry have alot of respect of her because of the death of her family but in reality people just not checking for her shes on every tv station every award she and she sell not a top seller she get more press then beyonce 

    L.... B....

    Jennifer did not deserve to win this season. She got better over time, but Fantasia was great from the start. Jennifer is not a better vocalist. They both are good, but Tasia is a better performer because she can capture the audience.

    L.... B....

    @ron campbell you are right...no disrespect to the dead...but it appears Jennifer made the bigger sacrifice to get where she is as far as fame. Fantasia's voice is so gd amazing that she is gonna get a piece of the pie REGARDLESS, but I believe she wasn't willing to do or sacrifice certain things for fame. Cream rises to the top. The music industry is evil.

  87. M.... ....

    I've listened to Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Janis Joplin sing this song. No one does it better than this rendition by Fantasia.

  88. c.... k....

    Amazing moment

  89. r.... c....

    if you are in Brooklyn New York on April 11 dont miss Fantasia and the voice winner Tessanne Chin live in concert at the King Theater tickets available now at ticketmaster

  90. D.... S....

    I didn't watch this season, but I remember turning on the TV and catching this performance and thinking how mesmerizing it was. Beautiful.

    D.... S....

    Me too, I didn't watch this season. Didn't like the competitors, but when TASIA won, I couldn't believe it cause she deserved it over her competition. IMO. I was so happy when I tuned into the finale.

  91. J.... C....

    She makes it her own but Janis Joplin is the only true artist to bring this song to life

  92. a.... ....

    nothing but, CHILLS!....

  93. K.... L....

    I absolutely love this girl, she is amazing.

  94. j.... b....

    OH MY GOSH LADY, YOU CAN SING!  WOW!  I stopped watching the show so I missed it, just happened to love the song so I thought I would hear it.  My gosh, she blew me away, and what a GREAT STYLE!!!!!!! MY MY MY MY MY! 

  95. S.... ....

    The two best performances in American Idol history were in Season 2 (Clay Aiken's "Bridge Over Troubled Water") and Season 3 (Fantasia's "Summertime"). I remember watching them both live on the original air date and getting chills - and I was just a little kid at the time!

  96. T.... T....

    I had to come watch this performance to forgive Beyonce at the Grammys.

    T.... T....

    Trippy The Easter Rabbit beyonce did a rendition on fantasias song?

  97. t.... ....

    Great voice !

  98. B.... M....

    She Did That!
