WOW, that's great that weight didn't get in the way of talent!!!!! I LOVE american idol and was SOOOOO disappointed when Mandeesa (sp?) was voted off...Especially before that kid they called "chicken little" (can't remember his name) was voted off. She had tremendous showmanship, a wonderful personality, was beautiful and a spectacular voice! I can't help but wonder, if she were thin, if she would have at least made the top 3...
Ah well...that's not what this thread is about...just happy to see a BBW made it to the top on her talent
Carmel, do you have any recordings of yourself...I for one would LOVE to hear you I'll bet you are a powerhouse singer
