Gabourey Sidibe’s Mom Impresses On ‘America’s Got Talent’

Sandra Rose June 16, 2010

Move over Susan Boyle! Actress Gabourey Sidibe isn’t the only talented member of her family. Her mother, Alice Tan Ridley, who has spent the past 20 years singing in the NYC subway system, brought the house down with her rousing rendition of the classic “At Last”. How embarrassing that a 58-year-old woman showed up Beyonce again?

Go head Lil big momma precious

I am unable to view the video but good for her. I love how you can’t resist to mention Bey a day on this blog. We know of the undying LOVE you have for her. How does the show work? Does she get a prize or something?

Yall can say what you want, but I think Gabby’s mother might be the single ugliest woman I’ve ever seen in my life. No exaggeration.

Well, I’m excluding deformities and chit. Even some of them look better.

Way to take away her moment by hating on Beyonce as usual. Why do you hate Beyonce so much? I’m not even a stan but I hate when people randomly throw her name into something. So what if you think she sang it better Beyonce can sing better then millions of people. SMH.

People are always saying how they’re sick of Beyonce but turn around and bring her up every chance they get. I don’t get it Why couldn’t it just be a great performance? Why does she have to be compared to Beyonce? Clearly she’s no Beyonce…

Where is this boyfriend Gabby Sidibe claimed to have in interviews? She walked all the red carpets by herself or with her mama. Even Jennifer Hudson brought her then boyfriend/janitor with her to the Oscars. He sat in the nosebleed section, but he still was there.

Sandra you didn’t tell how she was offered the role of Precious’ mom (played by Monique) way before her daughter even read the book & auditioned for the part of Precious. Get it mama she busted her a$$ singing & teaching for her children (like most parents do) and it paid off!!

Please enlighten us as to why you hate Beyonce so much?! Did she ignore you one day and you have it in for her? You have nothing but praise for that no talent, fugly Tiny chick, but whenver it comes down to lady Bey (even if the post has nothing to do with her), you must throw a dig in there some where! Jealous are we?!

It would be a judgment out of “spite.” The ugly people being discussed should feel pleased they are even mentioned because they should know to remain bland and stick to the background. So as not to offend and insult the rest of us. This wouldn’t happen if they knew their role. **Alice Tan Ridley**

still laughing at the irony that ethnic women in Hollywood get ridiculed for having plastic surgery done to alter their looks but women who don’t do too!! Shyt big-ups to anybody who does alter their GOD given looks, you’re liable to get ridiculed either way!!!
