All I can say at this point is that this thread reads like an AOL chat transcript circa 1998. aaaahhhh...memories....

Dominick, why not let Ashtyn fight her own battles? Nothing more pathetic than a boyfriend coming to the rescue.

Lawyer #36 Since when is it illegal to say you think someone has no talent? That is an opinion, and just like Ashtyn stated she feels someone has no talent, comments came in saying Ashtyn has no talent. So, should she sue those commenters for saying that not even knowing if she can sing or not? I do believe the first amendment allows for freedom of speech and that includes having an opinion.

Jim I was checking out your writing since you are quite the expert at spelling and grammar. I though I could learn something from you. Cheers, Dominick

Dominick is a tad confused, apparently, as he responded to my comment all the way over here in the comments under a non-related thread at my blog. Go figure.

Thomas, I wish I could be so lucky. It's true though. You aren't missing much at all. Cheers, Dominick

I have no idea who William Hung, Diandra Newlin, or Mimi Carey are. I've never heard of Glitter until this post. I have never seen American Idol. I'd heard of Paris Hilton for several years before I realized that she was a person and not a hotel. I still don't know anything about her, other than that she is a person who is famous for something or other. Famous for being famous, I guess. But I still don't know what she looks like. I've never heard Britney Spears sing. Despite all of the above, I don't think I've missed anything.

Ashtyn, yeh I understand what you mean, and it is unfair that talented people aren't recognised while people like the Hung are. Also, I feel bad that I laugh at Hung, cause basically we're making fun of him, which he doesn't know, and if he found out, im sure he'd be crushed to the core, so i think it would've been more responsible and nicer to Will Hung, if we hadnt made such an idol out of him, just because of the motives behind why he is famous. But thats the world for you, he will be forgotten so, and at the end of the day, those with music talent are recognised in that field. Those that don't have as much recognition aren't necessesarily worse singers, because recognition is not a measure of talent, those people just use their gift for different things.

And you, Dominick, are undoubtedly one of the few people who has learned to play the saxophone without knowing how to spell it.

"The problem with people like William Hung is that they allow other people with no talent to get their foot in the door." Yeah, pretty soon everyone will be able to post to their opinions on the Internet, even the unfunny, boring ones. Oh wait--

I edit her work (and work as an editor in my day job). Every once in a while an apostrophe slips man. I'll have Ash mention it to the editors of the site. Thanks for noticing.

What would happen to us if the William Hung's of the world wrote a book without the beauty of a ghostwriter?

Probably about the same thing that would happen if the Ashtyn Evanses of the world learned how to use apostrophes.

This...is why I don't have to "defend" my girlfriend. She does have a mind and yes...an opinion of her own.

As this has become repetitive and boring, at best, I am going to leave my final post here and let you flame it to hell, since that seems to be what you're intent on doing anyhow. To everyone who said "Diandra rocks...and I suck..." or any of the other variations of that...My reply is simple. The beautiful thing about opinions is that we can all have our own. Personally, I don't think whining and telling an educated person they should change their opinion is going to make me jump on your bandwagon. In fact, I'd rather roll under it and let it chop my ear off. Hey, if that happened at least I wouldn't have to listen. Furthermore, I've been to her website and I didn't like what I heard. For those of you who defended her on GMA get a grip. Every person who is supposedly a singer, is asked to sing during public performances. It's called warming up. If she was going on national television she should have done it. For the person that read my bio, I don't need mental counseling. In fact, I've been told I'm intelligent and well adjusted by professionals. I suggest you get some help for your anger and need to cut down what you do not understand. Maybe you could find God. It worked for Mel Gibson.... As for the fan club, I was hoping for nothing less though I truly hoped it'd be for a better reason than this. I am so disappointed. My article wasn't even about her, like the Independent film she is in - she's just a side note in the entire plot. Lastly....Dominick just mentioned that someone was -gasp- spamming this board. You mean, there was only one...or two at best behind this? lol - well at least I really know Im not crazy now...but if I were...I could claim more fans than her - me, myself, and I - and with that...Im out... See you on other articles Folks..

Christopher...it's one guy?! We've been saying that but it's funny as hell to hear it. I mean...c'mon I expected at least one Britney fan to come in but Diandra has been in one independent movie and she has a whole fan base jumping on the band wagon?! It just didn't seem logical at all.

It's fine being a Diandra fan but making multiple posts under multiple names is so last year. Please stop it or I will have no choice but to delete everything you've written here... Christopher Rose Blogcritics Comments Editor

Well you know what they say about opinions! You come on here defending Diandra and saying we don't know and yet you do the same thing not even knowing if I can sing. As for the mental health issue, I am happy in my life, incredibly well adjusted, and a free thinker. I could care less about five minutes of fame. I speak for the truth and freedom of speech and thought and I will always defend my opinions. This article was about lack of talent and has turned into the tween fan club for pathetic talent. I think the true point of the article has been lost in the wreckage.

Dominick, I read your bio and you and Ashtyn have had a cruel and challenging life. I suggest rather than trying to buy your 5 minutes of fame from cutting a 15 year old down you get some professional mental health counseling. I am sorry life has dealt you both some hard blows but this is a sad way to make a living with your cynical minds and loathsome, insufferable agenda.

You have anger issue with better singers than your self! I think you should stop protecting your partner and listen to the music. Diandra rocks! She has a bigger following than you do!

Dominick take a hike! You should stick listening to Kids Bop! Diandra is a better singer than you are!

My suggestion is that you rethink your opinion on Diandra. I heard about this article by talking to a friend, a few minutes ago. And you have definitely gained a anti- Ashtyn Evans club. Good Luck with it!
