Fantasia Rocks the Crowd at 2012 Essence Music Festival… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

Fantasia Barrino hit the stage of the 2012 Essence Music Festival last night looking well rested and energetic!

After reports that Tasia lost it onstage last week in Trinidad after her married baby daddy Antwuan Cook was boo’d up with that d-list reality show star, Barrino managed to keep her composure and wowed the crowed with an opening number that included the entire marching band from New Orleans’ O. Perry Walker high school!

Fantasia was dressed to impress in a tuxedo style white blazer paired with black sparkly pants but she quickly kicked off her shoes and got down with the crowd!

She was effin’ amazing!

Barefoot and over the barriers she went! ?Fantasia went straight into the crowd belting out a go-go version of ?3 In The Morning/Back To Reality,? and a fun, funky, upbeat medley of Prince-related covers.

She also covered Sheila E.?s ?Glamorous Life,? Morris Day and the Time?s

?The Bird,? and Vanity 6?s ?Nasty Girl.? Still, though, the greater part of the set drew from her ballads (?Even Angels,? ?Bittersweet?) not her wild side.
