I think everyone makes a good point about how Danielle's speech is perceived - ghetto or not ghetto.

I don't think that she is ghetto, she is just country. I think she exaggerates her accent more than she needs to. If she was on a professional interview, we would not want her to speak that way.

I think Tyra is trying to make the point that models are not just pretty faces on a picture, they are smart, intelligent and ARTICULATE women. This is even more important for a Black woman/model because I am sure the industry already has placed a stigma or a Black model as being a "diva" or "b!tc$"

The bottomline is - she can make an effort to speak more clearly than she does.
