New Video: Fantasia – ‘I’m Doin Me’

Fantasia keeps the ball rolling with the video new single ‘I’m Doin Me’ – which premièred minutes ago on VEVO. The release is the latest to be lifted from the American Idol star’s 3rd studio album ‘Back to Me’ - which debuted at #2 Billboard 200 back in August.





It’s pretty much a given that Fantasia is ranked rather high here at That Grape Juice, yet it’s important to keep it real. That was a recession-special. No if’s, but’s, or maybe’s.

The worse part of the whole shabang is that the problem lay not with the video set nor the storyline. Instead it was the post-production. Something about the editing, lighting, and whatnot, came across distinctly cheap. Put simply, the video lacked the all-important gloss which, otherwise, would have made it that much better.

Still, the clip is cute. But is ‘cute’ enough when as of last week ‘Back to Me’ had sold just 283,000 copies? Unfortunate given how amazingly solid it is. Here’s hoping this release, along with her forthcoming tour, and VH1 reality show promo, help push the album to at least Gold status.
