BrandNubian,
I appreciate your comments, and it does make me think.
I too, appreciate diversity. You are right, not everyone can be like Kevin or Mohammed. I guess Segun bothered me because he had a little "Beyonce" in him. You know the type, "look at me, look how pretty I am, I am so great"...kind of attitude. But at least Beyonce can sing. Maybe I missed Segun's talent.
Malik on the other hand, is a budding musician. For show and tell he brought a copy of his new CD. So he does have some talent, although we have not heard him play or sing, yet.
Angel and the other guys, yeah they were shallow and small-minded, but they weren't black..so I don't really care how they come across to the general population. Tv has a habit of perpetuating stereotypes and it is nice when you see people that show us in a positive light. For example, Nicole is from "the hood" as she puts it, but she demonstrated that just because you are from the hood, doesnt mean you don't know how to act.
I agree with you, David from N'awlins made me mad as H*@l a lot of times. Especially on his quest to bed all of N'awlins and by trying to prove that he was "the man" and other antics. I thought that David was downright RUDE and self-centered, but as I said before...artsy people are on a different level. That is not excusing him, but I understand it a little better. In the end, David learned that it is not all about him.
Maybe I am a little to hard on Segun...when the special comes on again, I will watch it to see what I missed.
