People are looking cross-eyed at X-Factor competitor Stacy Francis after the singer seemed to pull a fast one on the show’s viewers. Francis wanted to pretend that she had a relatively innocent background with no previous singing success. But it turns out that she has been a part of major groups, signed to record labels and performed with some of the leading singers in the music industry.
UR right it doesn’t matter had she been n a million Broadway plays, HOWEVER, it DOES MATTER that she potrayed herself as a struggling single mother that only gets 2 sing n the bathroom when the kids r sleepn but has sang w/Prince, Madonna, & Chaka Khan. I absolutely believed that Ms. Francis was as the show had drilled into my head – a woman who had tragically believed the words of an abusive boyfriend who, in addition to “pushing [her] around sometimes,” had very sadly convinced her 12 years ago that she was 2 old 2 try 2 make a name for herself in the business, she had believed him, & let another 12 years pass w/o even giving it a try. When she auditioned, her sister crying said “i just didn’t know if they were going to see it” – as if no one had ever assessed her singing ability until that moment…after all, if she was not to make it here, on x factor, y, she was to “die with this music in [her]” – are you kidding me?..a professional who has made the rounds for years in NYC, on Broadway — and touring with Madonna, Prince. I’m disgusted in the show for this complete mischaracterization of a contestant’s story/history. I find it especially disgusting that she has cried her eyes out before and/or after every performance, stating how much she wants or needs this as if it is her first and last opportunity to make music her profession!
Yeah, she used to be with the girl-group ExGirlfriend back in the 90′s. They never really hit big, but her voice is unforgettable.
I hate seeing her cry so much on X-Factor, but she still deserves to be on that show.
