Yup, I grew up in Trumbull County (Mineral Ridge, specifically) and when this hit the news here I barely batted an eyelash. I went to school with a girl who used to be engaged to her cousin. Her FIRST cousin. She ended up marrying his best friend instead. The white people out here are something else man.

Oh my god “halfway to hitler” just took me out 🤣🤣🤣

Clergy all over America manage to do it every week.

And that 14 year old dragged her to hell, in the classiest way possible. I felt like a proud auntie.

Yep, I just read that too. Apparently she is the first artist to be signed to the Big Machine/Motown imprint. Shit.

Hence why Dalton’s non singing ass made it to the top three. Pretty, but couldn’t sing his way out of a trash bag.

Go youtube her performance of “Diamonds.” I think it’s also in an article here from a few weeks ago. Kelly Clarkson was guest judging and about lost her entire mind. That girl is a star. Shit, her baby is a star too. She snatched Ryan’s microphone last night and wouldn’t give it back :-)

This is true as well. I’ve had two cousins audition, one made the top 24, the other the top 12 and while they are both very talented singers having “the look” didn’t hurt. Also if you had some niche or sob story, that definitely upped your chances. I mean, the producers rejected Amber freaking Riley for goodness sake,…

Well who wouldn’t? They are both incredibly successful. What I was trying to say is that Trent’s lane of blue eyed soul is pretty saturated at the moment and it’s gonna be hard for him to really stand out unless he gets a really stellar team behind him and picks fantastic songs. LaPorsha, to me, could do very well in…

It really seems like since Simon left, the judges became really bad at picking marketable talent. I think if LaPorsha makes smart career choices she could have a pretty successful career. Maybe not selling out arenas, but a good Fantasia type career. Do a little Broadway, do pretty well touring, that kind of thing.…

I’d stopped watching right about when Jennifer Lopez became a judge. She’s okay now but back then she was in my “I irrationally severely dislike you” category. I think it was just over saturation, plus I found her judging singers to be...laughable at best. I only watched this season because of LaPorsha. I wish she…

I had legit forgotten Lee DeWyze even existed on this earth until last night. I stopped watching after season 7 and only watched this season when Kid Fury posted a link on Twitter to LaPorsha singing “Diamonds” and told us to go get our blessing. I made my absolute music snob of a mom watch it, and she made me play it…

There are joys that this video did not simulate. Such as the make you want to shoot yourself cramps and vomiting of endometriosis. And praying your period comes on your day off, because your job is very physical and involves walking 4-5 miles and lifting heavy shit but you only get 15 days off (and only 8 paid) for…

Poor kiddo. I went through the same thing, my absolutely horrific cramps started on my 12th birthday. I was diagnosed with endometriosis at 22 and put on depo provera, which caused me to get blood clots in my arm and have to take Coumadin for several years. I tried pretty much everything and about 6 months ago my mom…

For me personally, no. On nothing, on parafon forte, and on these little miracle anti-nausea pills that I’m not sure I’m spelling right (promethazine I think?) that seem to double as a muscle relaxant, I’m in for 4 1/2-5 days no matter what. I find that instead of barely any flow the first day but extreme pain and…

I have good old endometriosis too, but the extra fun part is that Depo fucking Provera caused me to end up with blood clots in my arm, so I medically cannot take hormonal birth control. Ever again. A lifesaver I found by accident: my endo gives me extreme, puke your brains out nausea. My mom gave me an anti-nausea…

She tweeted last night that she signed with Motown, so hopefully Scott Borchetta will stay far away from her.

She tweeted last night that she signed to Motown. I’m not sure if she still has a deal with AI’s (is it still 19 Entertainment? I clocked out after season 7 and only came back to watch her) label, but the Motown thing was straight from her.

She signed a contract with Motown before the night was even over. Like, midnight EST had not even hit yet. That girl is gonna be just fine and I hope they treat her right. I truly look forward to hearing her music. I think Sia might have a song in her pocket for that young lady :-)

Go watch her performance of “Diamonds” on youtube. It’s the top 10 show, I think that’s how it’s labeled. You will get every bit of your life while she sings you under your furniture.
