Fantasia Barrino Opens Up About Losing It All & Attempting Suicide By 2010, Starting Over & How Life Feels Like 'American Idol' Again

On an angel that came into her life in a nail salon while she was on tour feeling lost:

“An older lady, [with] all white hair, beautiful, natural long nails and full of gold, gold, gold. Being on the road, it’s clubs. It’s drinking. It’s partying. I feel awful. I’m like, ‘Lord, just tell me you haven’t closed your ears to me. You’re the reason I’m here. I need you.’ We ended up sitting under the dryer together—the lady and me—and she looks at me and says, ‘Can I speak a word into your life?’”

On the woman telling Fantasia that her end will be better than her beginning:

“At the time, I’m like, ‘What’s she talking about?’ I know what she’s talking about now…she turns and says, ‘By the way, he told me to tell you he still hears you. He hasn’t closed his ears.’”
