Life Highs & Lows truly are "Bittersweet"







Fantasia Monique Barrio . . . Through all the things, this young woman has been thru I question whether she is ready for a comeback.

Ideally, her new single “Bittersweet” seems befitting to her situation:

“When we were together
You ain't treat me right
Then I really love you
I ain't gonna lie

'Cause when I think about you

It's bittersweet...

See I don't understand
Like, somebody is gonna get hurt
Out of this situation
And you just hope it's not you

At times...

Part of me wants you, part of me don't
Part of me is missing you, part of me is gone
Part of me is saying that the love is still strong,
Part of me is letting go

So even though I left you
I can't forget you
'Cause when I think about you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet
Guess I'll always love you
It's bittersweet, it's bittersweet”

However, behind the music, how really is the woman?

The suicide attempt, the cyst on her vocal cords (which has now been removed), the dehydration, the exhaustion, the family drama, foreclosure of one of her homes, illiteracy, financial problems, the relationship with a married man, lawsuits and now hitting the media circuit to promote a new album is a testament that Life Is Not a Fairy Tale!

Truly, Fame, Glitz & Glamour equates pleasure alloyed with pain, thus “Bittersweet”.

Ms. Barrino in my book your truly putting up a good fight. . . I wish you the best!
