Fantasia and Chaka Khan in Catsuits? MEOOOWW... (via Yahoo!)

*My take on this: FANTASIA... *sigh* Girl, why?? Your voice is outstanding... you don't need all that. Chaka Khan: More SPANX... but GET IT, CHAKA!*

Me-ow. "The finale of "American Idol" was awfully catty. The season 3 winner wore a skintight body suit with  leg cut-outs. The "Idol" alum appeared on stage to sing with Joshua Ledet. Then fur was flying when pop idol Chaka Khan showed up in a chocolate-colored sparkly catsuit to perform "I’m Every Woman." But few women could pull off the outfits of these two.

The ‘American Idol’ finale was more than just about crowning a winner on May 23 it was a catsuit battle, and HollywoodLife.com has the details and wants YOUR vote!

Fans weren’t only focused on who would win American Idol during the show, they were debating who wore the better skin-tight catsuit! Twitter caught fire when season three winner Fantasia Barrino showed up in a super tight leg baring get up and then Chaka Khan wore a curve hugging brown bodysuit — MEOW!

Fantasia was there to sing with Joshua Ledet and fans say that she was even making up lyrics to Elton John‘s “Take Me To The Pilot.”

But it appears dressing like cat woman is trendy these days because when Chaka showed up to sing the hit “I’m Every Woman,” she was in the tightest sequined getup ever on American Idol!

Then she caused another stir on the red carpet when she said she’d love to take J.Lo’s spot if she doesn’t return to American Idol: “They could use a little bit of truth, honesty. I’d like that.”

INTERESTING: Fantasia's New Blonde Hairdo

Artist Fantasia Barrino is known for having several different hairstyles, and yet she recently rocked a new one.... which didn't go over too well with the blogging world.

Media Takeout said HOODRATCHEDNESS.

A fan said, 'That's tooooo ghetto!'

...And I say, 'It's an interesting look for a fashion show or performance, but not for EVERYDAY!' But maybe I should cut her some slack since she's being practicing for a movie role...

FANTASIA BARRINO Rocks Short Hair

Fantasia, renowned American Idol winner and R&B singer is really "DOIN' HER" with renewed life after her overdose and personal problems. She had released her album a while back and released some great songs to go along with it.

What I'm doing basically is just checking out all of Fantasia's short hair styles that she can easily do; it's just her and she can do it very well.

My beautiful urban ladies, looking for a couple of styles, just take a look at hair magazines at your local grocery store or bookstore. Also, Fantasia's various hairdos are a staple in one of those magazines and is often a point of reference to follow.

Usually, women with long hair have more versatility and style options with their hair, but FANTASIA.... just take a look below at Fantasia's various styles in 2009-2010:

Whaddaya think, ladies? There's more women who rock it good.. just check 'em out!
