Watch your language in this forum.

I ain't voting for Fantasia. I ain't watching AI no more.

Girlfriend just KILT that song!!!

Someone will call her tomorrow. Sign with Babygface. Don't go with Murder, Inc.

Cosign- she did that song better than the first time she performed it.. she is a class act though. Jasmine has such a target on her back now!!

She can have it now. I don't care. Maybe she should win, so people can see how much of a mess this stuff really is.

I said the same thing when America refused to let John Stevens go:

It's not any of the contestants' fault that they stay or get voted off.

I know you meant nothing by the above comment, but comments like those and the "threats" against Red are so unfair. Look at it this way...it's not Jasmine's fault that Latoya and Fantasia's fans didn't call in as much.

As I said in the CC forum, Diana and Jasmine are America's sweethearts. They've got the home base (GA & HI) and a HUUUUUUGE teenybopper following voting them in.

See everyone should have stop watching 3 weeks ago like I did. This show aint right. They got the voting system jimmy rigged!!!!!

[BirthaBlue4]

First...THAT DIDN'T MAKE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SENSE!!! She sounds better than all of them. My mother said she saw on some show (Extra or something) today that they asked the four of them who they really felt would win, and they said LA TOYA.

BUT, and I've heard this discussed elsewhere (I'm too tired to scroll and see if anyone already said this), its hard for two or more blacks in the running, because blacks who they feel will be their core voting base are split between them, instead of all votes going to one or the other. They said that's why LaToya, Fantasia and Jennifer didn't have a chance as a group to make it tothe final three, our votes were split.

Now, with the Jasmine and the other girl, they have more mass appeal, because the "mass" is not black. I mean, not to be funny, but if we as blacks feel that we can out vote everyone else, we can't, even if every black voted for one of the black contestants, it wouldn't equal to if everyone else voted for the non-black contestants. That's if you wanna look at this as a racial issue.

But, I think that the white girl (I cannot remember her name for NuTHIN) will end up winning. She has a good strong voice, she's a "nice" girl, favors Lee Ann Rhimes, and she's...perky. Young people are looking for another GOOD young singer to relate to, since Christina and Brittany (not that she was good, but she was out there) have crossed over into the Land of Ho, Jessica can sing, but she's married, so out of direct role model category for teens, so that leaves Kelly and...well not much else, qualitywise for teen america, so I think she will win.

Jasmine is pretty, but not strong voiced enough. And Fantasia, well, I don't like her, sorry. Her voice is not bad, but its not Idol material.

*ducking the rotten tomatoes*

***If this doesn't make sense, its because I'm exhausted and can't half see straight***

I don't think he meant that literally. I don't think it was a threat, just a statement. She may be voted off next week. That's all

Peace and love...peace and love

Did you see how at the end of the song she did this number where she was like..."TAKE THAT you so and sos"

I KNEW this was going to happen. Ole girl from Hawaii will be out next and the dirty blonde will be the NEXT AI.

Those 3 ladies KNEW LaToya was THE BEST!

Donna Summer STILL has that voice. It's been almost 30 years and her voice is still powerful. Hmmm, I guess she wasn't smoking cigaretters and such.

I agree that there should be a massive boycott of AI.

Then again, most of the entertainers out there DON'T HAVE TALENT NOR NATURAL ABILITIES! They are just that ENTERTAINERS.

But sistahgal ain't moved a lick! Did you notice that?

Wait a minit, I think she did swagger from side to side a little bit.

Her voice does sound really good, though.

I'm reposting this from another site I visit.

This morning, on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Tom started his "Express Yourself" segment of the show. Well many Black people were calling in, expressing their frustrations with last night's American Idol.

Well, it was really the same old argmegnts and complaints until this White lady called and said that the reason why the Black female singer (I forgot her name) got booted off was probably because of Tom's show. She said that, at first, she very actively voted for her (the Black girl) because she clearly believed that she was the best singer on the show.

She said that she voted for the girl until Tom Joyner and Jay, a couple of days ago, said something about "The Whites have got to go...." on the show. After that, she said that she was so mad, she called ALL of her friends and intentionally voted for the White or non-Black people. She said that she did this strictly because of the "mess" that Tom Joyner and Jay said on their morning show a couple of days ago. She said that other White people across the nation that listen to his show probably did the same thing. (Jay promply hung up on her)

Now, even through all of the racial stress that this show is receiving, do you think that her point has some truth to it?

Do you think that certain Black programs, such as the Tom Joyner Morning Show, are talking so bad about all of this racial stuff with American Idol that it is actually hurting, rather than helping, the cause?

Are our "untactful" outcries for racial justice just putting more fuel on the fire?

Be honest.....
Indulge me......
=====================================

What are your thoughts on this?

[AKA2D '91]

Whatever. So this woman telephoned umpteen millions of people? Whatever.

Lame.


Talent and Natural ability means nothing in this industry.
