The hair and look may have been reminiscent of Chris Tucker's role on 'The Fifth Element,' but the voice was all Fantasia Barrino. The Season 3 winner of 'American Idol' (Thu., 8PM ET on FOX) made a return to the stage that made her famous with her new single, 'Collard Greens & Cornbread.'

Her latest album, 'Back to Me,' was released on August 24, 2010 to positive reviews and pushed Barrino to Number 2 for her debut week. Since then, though, the album has slowed and hasn't quite reached 500,000 units sold.

Hoping for another 'Idol' bump with her third single, Barrino sang like a classic R&B diva. She was confident and poised, and even had a few words of advice to the contestants. But before she spoke to them, she slipped "Steven Tyler, I love you" into the closing notes of her song.

'American Idol' airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8PM ET on FOX.
