FANTASIA BUYS NEW HOME FOR FAMILY

"American Idol" victor Fantasia Barrino is already sharing the benefits of her success -- she's purchased a six-bedroom house for her family.

The 19-year-old singer won the popular TV contest in May, and has kept good on a promise to look after her loved ones.

She says, "My brothers and I promised that whoever made it first would take care of mama. I made it, so I bought my mama a six-bedroom house in Charlotte, North Carolina; it's for my mama, my three bothers and my 2-year-old daughter, Zion.

"The other day, my mama just walked through her new house and she just started crying. She was so happy; she couldn't believe we made it."

That's nice. I like it when Celebrity's take care of their family. It's hard though, I bet she has had a few distant aunts and uncles crawl out of the woodwork since she won Idol all wanting houses.

yEAH bUT THAT IS REAL NICE iWOULD HAVE DON IT FOR MY FAM SOME PEOPLE WOULDN'T

Fantasia is the best! Whenever you humble your heart and learn patience in waiting, blessings come flowing. She waited a lonnnnnnggggg time for this and she made it. She proved all those doubted her wrong. Keep your head up girl!!!! You did right, your mama is always your best friend.

I am so happy for her. That was a real generous thing to do for her family. Keep it up Fantasia my saviour.
