"a "ghetto" form of affectation"? and in reality guns kill. To glamorise that is not only naive but deeply immature.
It'll cost her any chance of a win. Let that be a lesson to ya!

Honestly,...there are more presssing things for people to be in uproar over than a girl gesticulating a "ghetto" form of affectation on a reality television show...whatever next?!!...

she is awful; far too cocky with her mediocre talent. She isn't frriendly or even comes across as a nice person, people won't vote for her to win. She is known still as being agressive in her personal life, why they keep saving her from eviction is beyond me. Have to realise, the public won't buy her records....
