Fantasia Kicked Off Her Heels Before Her Aretha Tribute So You Already Know What Time It Is

Before launching into a gobsmacking mix of “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” and “You’ve Got a Friend,” Fantasia kicked off her heels (“I think she won’t mind,” she said), clutched her kerchief tight, then did what she does best: blew the roof off the place.
