Fantasia Knows Her A-B-Cs

 

Remember when Fantasia said she couldn't read? Well, she's now saying that everyone took it too literally. I mean, she did say that she had trouble reading the song on "American Idol" didn't she?

 

She said,  "I dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and when I said I had trouble reading, they took it that I couldn't read at all. I knew the basics, but some words that were unfamiliar, I couldn't figure them out."

 

Fanny can read now and is making her Broadway debut this month in "The Color Purple" on Broadway.
