I’m hoping people will wake up and send the non-talented hacks back where they belong… to college to learn a new, non-talent based skill.
Whether you watch American Idol or not, most everyone knows who William Hung is. The self-proclaimed Ricky Martin of Hong Kong was booted off American Idol for his pinwheel dancing moves and his off-tune, off-beat renditions of "She Bangs."…

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..

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

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

"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--

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

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.

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.

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

YOU MAY BE LAUGHING NOW BUT AT LEAST ONE OF THE PEOPLE YOU ARE DISHING HAS AN APPOINTMENT TODAY WITH THEIR LAWYER.
37 - Dominick
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,

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.
39 - Slander a Kid?
I suggest the retraction of your slander of a 15 year old at literaryillusions.com
maby legal ok? but, morally wrong!

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

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