Former American Idol Fantasia Barrino saves home from being auctioned

Former American Idol star Fantasia Barrino has last-minute deal with financiers saved her North Carolina house which she bought in 2007 from going under the hammer via an auction block.

Fantasia Barrino, the winner of the reality talent show American Idol in 2004 purchased the six-bedroom house in Charlotte, North Carolina in March 2007 for $1.3 million. But thanks to the great American dream she could not manage her finances as expected and bumped into financial trouble in 2006 after she was forced to borrow more than $68,000 from Broward Energy Partners to pay her taxes.

That’s really the root cause of the US financial mess and as other world leaders have said the developing countries have had to bare the brunt of mistakes committed in the US.

Just cause making videos & music may have put stress onto you U still gotta control ur life I mean you are another human being trying to figure out what life has in store for you and being famous is added responsibility that weak shoulders like those of Fantasia might have found hard to handle the sudden riches pouring her way.
