Do We Really Need Another Reality Show?

According to Jawn Murray of BV Buzz, Fantasia’s new reality show is set to premiere in January on VH1. I won’t be watching, but I’m sure my readers will keep us updated on all the coonery.

The show, which Fantasia told BV Buzz about first this past spring, will show the complex and emotional life of the High Point, North Carolina-bred singer, who is working towards getting her high school equivalency diploma.

By the way, I spoke with someone in Tiny’s camp yesterday who mentioned that BET might want me to appear in an episode of The Tiny & Toya Show. Not as a cast member, but as one of the guests at Tiny’s Grand Opening of her store, which will be filmed by BET.

Wouldn’t it be funny if BET’s cameras caught me getting a pedicure at Tiny’s salon? Anyway, I’m thinking about it. I’ll let you know what I decide.

    Shauny says:

    wiggy – you can take the GED anytime you want to but some people prepare to take it because they know they can’t pass it yet. So they take courses in each subject to become better. They have the classes in community colleges and some centers. That’s what she may be talking about having to do.

    I wont watch a show with Fannie. I don’t think I’ve watched ANY EBT reality show except College Hill and stopped watching that one after VI (I did catch a few of last seasons eppys). I tried to watch Monica and Tiny and Toya. They’re o.k but can’t keep my interest.

    missy – did I miss the BGC chat? Had meetings til now.


  28. 28
    wiggy2272003 says:

    I thought she already learned how to read?

    I don’t like to joke about that even, how do you get that far in school without basic reading? Seriously. How do you keep passing all the standardized testing? You know she was in the class with six students, stayed in one room all day. If they didn’t get at least basic reading in geez..

I think I threw up a little bit in my mouth that night. Then she has all those hoodrat tattoos all over her body. She has so much talent but she doesn’t has appeal well, at least not to me.

    ____________________________________________________________

    This may be true for you. But many people attend GED classes for preparation for the test. Mostly adults who have been out of the classroom for a number of years. I was an GED instructor for 4 years. I encourage anyone who is taking the GED, SAT, GRE, and etc to take a preparatory test

    @Daisy – IMO the difference between Patti and Fannie is the Patti is still BLOWING when she cuts the fool. Fannie just screams and sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Fannie can sing, not great but she’ll do. She needs to focus on her vocals when she starts the ghetto holy ghost and not just the shoe kicking, feet stomping, horrible faces, etc.

    :cosign: Shauny….she was doing good in the Chaka tribute until she started yelling and screeching. I watched American Idol that season and she controlled her voice much better back then…now you can guess when the screaming will start. I couldn’t imagine having to sit through that live :nono:

    All that black have to contribute and this is the best they can put on TV? We really shoudln’t be watching this mess. For real, what are we to learn out of this? What does she gain (besides a check) out of this?

    I’d like to challenge everyone to reading a chapter or more of a book every time this mess airs on the show. Don’t dumb yoursselves down, or let the media make a mockery out of us, anymore.
    _____________________________________________________________

    How does a gossip blog enhance your critical thinking skills? Reading comprehension? Fluency skills? I find it hypocritical of a person to say something like “don’t watch this stuff on tv because it dumbs you down” but you are on a gossip site talking/speculating about celebrities as if it’s a new subject in school.

    You don’t have kids do you? It’s not for her necessarily, yes she has money and talent and if she invests right she can live lavishly until she dies.

    Again, you must not have kids. How can we expect our kids to go to school and get their education if we didn’t. Do you think Fannie is going to allow Zion to not get a education and live off of mommies money forever. Your education is your freedom. Do you know how many ppl with money can’t even sign their own name on a check, they just put a “X”. If you can’t read or write it’s impossible to live in this world. Imagine yourself in another Country and you don’t know the language and can’t make out the writing. That’s how many Americans feel living here when they can’t read and write, it’s foreign

    Mother to Mother I honestly expected a difference answer from you. A education is not always about a JOB. Didn’t someone say that Jay Z calls his sister for political communication because Bey is not to bright. How can we converse with others and know where a statesis on a map(I am trying to keep my comment simple, no disrespect)without being taught. Or know when we are getting a bargin if it was not taught to us?

    You still getting at me? I understand that she’s trying to set an example for her daughter and people who need to have a shot at this world. Like I said, it’s nice for her to get her GED for personal reasons. From my understanding she knows how to read now and a GED is for trying to get a job or get into a college. I’m just on that get rich or get missed thing. She doing the damn thang. No need to get all emotional. I’m not the one picking on her..there’s plenty of comments above on that matter.

    SEE YALL THOUGHT I WAS PLAYIN’

    IT’S MY CUBE!

    Don’t just bust up in here unannounced. Knock on the wall. Don’t stick your head around the corner to see if I’m busy. Announce your presence. Don’t Just Jump In because you don’t See a door.

    IT’S MY CUBE!

    Don’t walk past and ask me who are all the pretty people in my pictures that decorate my desk. First of all, I don’t have any ugly Relatives. Second of all, I don’t have any ugly Friends. Third of all, what are you doing lolly-gagging around my cube long enough to look at all the
    pictures that I have anyway? Don’t Slow your roll at my cube, Speed it up.

    IT’S MY CUBE!

    Don’t ask me where I got my plants from, my mirror from or my motivational prints from. That means you’ve been standing there too long, you better keep on walking. In fact, why don’t you walk your butt to the nearest Home Depot or Target? You wanna see decorations? Go to the store nearest you!

    IT’S MY CUBE! If you see me on the phone, Don’t come in. Don’t sit in my vacant chair until I’m done talking on the phone. What makes you think I want you to know all my PERSONAL business? I haven’t summoned you. I haven’t invited you to take a seat. I haven’t asked you to laugh along with me at the jokes I tell my Friends on the other line. We Don’t need to correspond in person.

    IT’S MY CUBE!

    Don’t listen for noises from My Cube that announce whether I’m Arriving or Leaving. I Hate That! When I get here in the morning, I get here. I don’t need you to say Good Morning loud enough so that the whole Department can hear. Why do they need to know that I got here at 8:05, not 8:00 am? And when I get ready to leave, I’m gone. If you hear me
    taking my bag out of the drawer or zipping up my bag, I don’t need you to say Goodbye loud enough so that the whole Department can hear you announce my departure at 4:45 and not 5:00 pm. I Hate That!

    IT’S MY CUBE!

    Don’t think because I have staples, pens and notepads, that Means you can borrow some, I said No the first time. If I say I don’t have any, don’t walk by to check and see if I’m lying, Even though I am. I just don’t want you to have it. Do like I did, walk your butt down the hall to the big Supply Room and get YOU some stuff. What do I Look Like,
    Office Depot?

    Repeat after me:

    RESPECT MY CUBE

    First Episode.


    We’ve already seen a rough cut of the first episode, and we can’t wait to see the finished product. Take it from us: “Fantasia For Real” will have Fanny fans hooked!

    In the premiere Fantasia introduces us to her lay-about brother, Teeny, who fancies himself a musician. In our opinion he’s trying to live the celebrity lifestyle without putting in any of the work. Perfect example: He decides to test drive a sports car when he’s supposed to be out job-hunting.
    We won’t even get started on what he does to Fantasia’s poolhouse.”

    Too bad I missed that part. Damn I almost had my first cyper beef. I do believe that knowing the basics is not enough. A person can earn all the moeny they want from their craft but if you can’t hold a conversation or know how to mingle/work a crowd what can you add. We go to school to learn social skills. learn how to share and participate. I am not directing this at you but making a general statement.

    ~~~~~~~~~~
    There is nothing worse than a celeb with money who can’t speak intellegently. They have to do interviews to promote their movie, music etc. I get so tired of hearing “Ya Know What I’m saying, UM, UM, UM. and my favorite that any person on any channel and any color says: What Had Happened Was!. LOL.

    I actually grew up in the middle of Greenville and Bethel…LOL…but my parents moved off of Old River Road a couple of years ago. Good thing too since Bethel is basically a ghost town now.

    @KWALL please don’t remind me of that theatre fiasco. I’m just glad I’m not from the area that’s has to pay taxes on it. But it’s good to know it’s some more North Carolinians in here. YAY!
