i’d like to propose: she’s toast
It seems our lovely Shequida was not what the judges were looking for, not that night, anyway.

How lucky to be able to sing (after a fashion) both parts.
What’s frightening, for me, is that this is the second time in two days that I’ve heard, read or otherwise been exposed to reference to Paul Potts. I can only hope this doesn’t become a trend.
What about straight American women? Do we fear drag queens? For my part, I don’t fear them, I just get depressed by the fact that they always look more glamorous than I ever could, no matter how hard I tried. But in true female nature, I feel that way about tall gorgeous, glamorous, estrogen-filled, born-that-way women too.
