Delta on VH1's Born to Diva!
 
Just thought you ladies might want to know that one of your soror's is a finalist on VH1's Born to Diva. Her name is Towanda Cofield. Last night she made it to the Top Three. She had sorors in the audience last night supporting her, and they were throwing up the sign and doing the call in support of her. She also threw up the sign at the end of the show. She's very talented. Now it's up to the public to vote for her and the other two finalist. If you want to vote for your soror, you can log on to www.Vh1.com They also have a short bio on her.

N4L you beat me to it. I noticed the same thing last night. She indeed is very talented. 2 of the top 3 were impressive, you can pick which one did not float my boat. I knew Mariah's ex hubby would have an "eye out" for her. She looks like his type. :rolleyes:

CrimsonTide4 05-12-2003 09:41 PM

Soror Towanda looks like my line sister Summer. :)

CrimsonTide4 05-12-2003 09:51 PM

Terralyn Ramsey is already a Gospel singer -- has a gospel CD. How is she eligible? Shouldn't these comps be for nonprofessional folks?




:confused:

stardusttwin 05-12-2003 11:31 PM

As of 5 minutes ago Towanda only has 10% of the vote...let what almost happened to Reuben be a lesson learned - VOTE!!

DableST_1 05-13-2003 01:23 AM

I agree but I must confess......
 
THAT GIRL CAN SANNNGGGGGGG

I WILL DEF. VOTE FOR HER!!!!

Towanda is tha bomb...
 
She really can sing, and she's SO CLASSY, too. I saw at the end of the show that someone was throwing up the pyramid, and I was like, oh, that's interesting!! But I think she's got such a great voice. She can be mellow and calm wit it, then BAM, she blows you out the water!! I already voted for her a bunch of times already yesterday, and I'ma go vote again today. And I don't know WHY TOMEY was picked, I was like, HUH???:eek: :eek: She sux, I think Sasha shoulda been picked.

Misstery....

ykimber 05-13-2003 03:10 PM

I just checked out the standing and Towanda Cofield is currently in last place she has 11% of the votes. Tarralyn Ramsey is in first place with 52% of the votes and Tomey Sellars is in second place with 34% of the votes. There is still time to vote!

NUPE4LIFE 05-13-2003 04:50 PM

Sasha wasn't picked because her and her lawyer were not satisfied with the contract VH1 offered. Since she wouldn't sign the contract, she couldn't be eligible to continue in the contest. There was another girl in Philly who probably would have been there instead of Towanda, but she too was not happy with the contract. Damn, VH1 must be shady.

treblk 05-13-2003 04:59 PM

I voted for her a bunch of times and she's still in last place.:(

CrimsonTide4 05-13-2003 05:01 PM

I cast 20 votes and she did not move up at all.:(

I agree with you. Tomey sounded horrible and she has absolutely no stage presence.

14dst01 05-14-2003 02:00 PM

Vote for Towanda!!!
 
I agree that it's not fair that Tarralyn is already a recording gospel artist with a CD out. She should not have qualified (even though homegirl can SANGGGGG!!).

Towanda is my friend's linesister from Temple (Spr. '99) so we've been sending emails out for everyone to vote for her.

I think it's going to be tough but I have a funny feeling Tarralyn is going to win.

CrimsonTide4 05-21-2003 01:04 PM

TTT folks, tomorrow is Divas Live on VH1.

CrimsonTide4:

To answer your question about how Tarralyn Ramsey can be eligible even though she's a gospel singer with a CD, the rules for Born To Diva state that you have to be UNSIGNED to a label at the time of the contest. Tarralyn's CD was released on Verity Records in 2000 (AWESOME CD!!!). Apparently, she is no longer signed to Verity, so that makes her a free agent and eligible to compete in the competition. However, I think someone would have made a big stink if she had been a Pop or R&B singer and had a project out. Gospel is coming up, but unfortunately, it still hasn't reached the same caliber and level of appreciation of Secular music.

I love Tarralyn, and I've been voting for her. However, I think she's playing herself. Just by her being on this show, and by some of the things that she has said, she is making it look as if she only recorded a Gospel CD to get paid. She made a statement that said something to the effect of ," People may know of Tarralyn Ramsey the Gospel Artist, but what they don't know is that Tarralyn the Gospel Artist didn't have $100 in her bank account." Plus, you have to question her management and record company. What kind of contract did they really have her under not to make any cash? John P. Kee produced her. That's enough to sell CD's by itself. Plus, when she was in the studio on the show, and they interviewed her, she said that she had to "detox" herself and stop singing like a "straight up church girl." Honey...if you were born to sing in church, you're gonna sound like a "straight up church girl" no matter what you sing! There' s nothing wrong with it! I sound like a straight-up church girl when I sing and I'm proud of it!

I have read articles dated back to when she first came out, and she was saying that she has turned down mainstream contracts because she was doing what God called her to do. This was back in her early teens. Now? I'm not the one to say that she has abandoned her calling, but that's how it looks.

I will be watching tomorrow night. No matter what, God's anointed always has favor! If it's in God's will, she will win this competition. And HE will get the glory!!!

Hope this answers your question!

CrimsonTide4 05-21-2003 01:24 PM

Thanks for answering my question. I never watched Born to Diva. I have actually never heard Terralynn sing. I just hope she recognizes that GOD is the end all be all and without HIM she is nothing.

delph998 05-21-2003 07:35 PM

This is a GREAT show...everyone should watch it tomorrow night! Anywho, I think all three contestants are great! I think Tomey does an excellent job with her stage presence and range. I sing so this is why I feel this way! Towanda is a great singer as well, but Taralyn is by far the best! The girl is BAD and her cd is the BOMB!:D

CrimsonTide4 05-21-2003 08:15 PM

I'm watching to see the Bobby & Whitney Duet. :eek: :o :p

CrimsonTide4 05-22-2003 09:23 PM

3. HATE BEYONCE's DRESS, but this song is KILLA!! GO BEYONCE!! :eek:

Mz Destiny 05-22-2003 10:03 PM

Beyonce and Jewel were cute....

this was too funny. I didn't see the show, I'll catch the repeats and let you know what I think...

Gina1201 05-23-2003 09:37 AM

My commentary
 
Mary J looked GREAT. I wish my stomach looked like that!

Beyonce (although I can't stand her) TORE UP "Dangerously in Love". IMO, that was the best I have ever seen her. Might have to cop that album when it comes out!

Whitney's stomach. . .no comment

Ashanti really needed to take off the peacock.

And Chaka needs to give back the cavewoman outfit.

Back with more later.

Bro. Jones 05-23-2003 10:02 AM

Whitney And Bobby Stir Things Up In Vegas

Whitney Houston's stay in Las Vegas for Divas Live on VH-1 has produced its usual amount of gossip, innuendo and strange facts.

Houston was seen coming out of the AAA Ear, Nose and Throat medical group this morning, according to my sources. I am told she went there with a bloody nose. Her spokespeople, however, insist that nothing is wrong.

"Whitney went to see an ears, nose and throat doctor this morning because it's so hot here," said Lynn Volkman, a publicist who is traveling with Houston. "Nothing else has happened." Volkman denied that Houston's nose had been bleeding.

A secretary in the medical office said she did not know what Houston's prognosis was.

Houston's stay in Las Vegas has not been trouble-free. According to my sources, last night her husband, singer Bobby Brown, had an incident in the Bellagio Hotel & Casino. Around 6 p.m., Brown is said to have been approached by a high roller who wanted to gamble with Brown. He handed him $5,000 for that purpose. "Then Bobby split with the money and couldn't be found," says my source.

Hotel security was called, and when Brown was found he was dining alone in the back of a restaurant in the Bellagio. "He was escorted back to his and Whitney's villa to explain everything," my source says.

"When Whitney found out, she hit the roof, and the two of them had a terrible fight," says my source.

Whitney's team says they do not know what Brown was doing last night.

Tonight, the couple is supposed to appear together singing the song 'My Love' on the VH-1 show. The producer of the show, Rick Krim, jumped on the phone from rehearsal where Whitney was busy putting the finishing touches on the finale with Stevie Wonder.

"There's been a great vibe here. Whitney's been on time for everything and she sounds great. We're really looking forward to tonight's show."

FeeFee 05-23-2003 10:32 AM

Overall, the show was OK. I might watch the rerun this weekend.

I was wondering if Whitney was preggers - thanks for the clarifications.
Mary - she didn't have to scream.
Ashanti - why was she even there????
Beyonce - I try not to like her, but her performance was really good.:o
Sharon - she looked great.

This is what I think Celine looks like with her new hairdo:
