Maybe because when he plays the piano, and sings, it comes from a place of his truth, its honest and raw. And lastly, in the past he has refused to answer the question.

It's said that when he appeared on the Wendy Williams radio show, she asked if he's gay and he refused to answer the question, which further made many think that the rumor had some truth to it. Metro-sexual, maybe? Whatever the reason, its been said that he's gay.

When confronted with this, John insists that he's not gay. It's been said that he's dating model, Christine Teigen, for over a year now. The wonderful thing about John is that he doesn't get upset about the gay rumors, which shows that he's comfortable with himself.

The last five are: 

1.) "Nuttin But Stringz", two Black American brothers from Jamaica Queens, NY, who played classical violins and blend this with Hip Hop. 

2.) "Queen Emily", a black mother, 40 years old, who believed that her chance for a career had passed is allowed to re-visit her dream The sister can sing! 

3.)"Donald Braswell", from Texas, performed at local clubs and studied at Julliard in New York, he was also the performer that after being voted off got a chance to return when another artist had to decline.

4.) "Eli Mattson" started playing piano at the age of five. To me not a strong vocal, tried to sound like Elton John but... and 

5.) is "Neal E. Boyd", an insurance salesman who sings opera.

Well, racism is still alive and well, and we as people of color have to continue to push through. There's no way that the results should have turned out this way. But it's not about talent, its about how popular you are. Fortunately Neal has talent and I wish him the best in his new career. As for Nuttin But Stringz and Queen Emily, I hope that our community will reach out to them and make their dreams come true.

You know you have power, when you can get on television and "diss" a person like our former President, Mr. Bill Clinton, and you know, rightfully so. Amen to Mr. Chris Rock.

However, I tried to watch his last HBO special that he recorded in three different places around the world. I couldn't get pass the first half hour as every other word was f*ck this and the "N" word that. Call me old fashion, but he can be funny without every other word being a curse word. Chris is a wonderful storyteller, "F' and "N" words aren't necessary.

As for the David Letterman incident, Chris was right on target. If you missed it, check it out, Chris also addressed Sarah Palin. It's funny but true.

I would imagine that
she's at the crossroads of
her life. She's said in the
past that she would love
to have children. I would
imagine that she would
like to also get married,
yet she may be gun-shy.
But whatever the
reasons for her sudden
illness, let us, her fans
continue to pray for her.

Finally one of the
publishing houses said,
"Write something,
anything!" She thought
and prayed about it,
finally deciding to
write about a subject
that she knows about,
she knows about
children.

In her first-ever singing performance in front of an audience, Little D brings the house down! And she discovers, with her grandfather’s encouragement (“If you think it, you can do it!”), that everyone has a special talent and it’s up to each person to find it, embrace it, perfect it, and enjoy it!

The book includes audio CD featuring an exclusive recording of the gospel song “Jesus Loves Me” (the first song young Dionne performed before an audience, as told in the book), as well as a reading of the book by Ms. Warwick."

It's not a book just for children of color but for all children and adult's, alike. With the holidays coming up, this would make an ideal gift to give to someone special, that little boy or that little girl or perhaps that adult that needs that extra encouragement. Dionne wants the reader to know that if you believe it, it can be done.

Justin Emeka, the Professor of Theatre and African-American studies, was the Director of this timeless work, as its a story of a family with dreams falling on hard times, much like the play, "Raisin In The Sun." When "Death of A Salesman" was performed prior, it was with a white cast, however, having a black cast shows mankind that we are all the same and experience a lot of the same situations, no matter the skin that we are wrapped in.

Petronia Paley of E.R. fame, a New York actress was also a part of the ensemble. Perhaps by popular demand this will find its way to Broadway.

If this play comes to your part of the world, you must purchase a ticket, as you will be treating yourself to some find theatre at its best.

On a up note, Janet starred in Tyler Perry's, "Why Did I Get Married" last year. The movie screen loves her. She's a natural. The music industry is always changing, but Janet's music has not in recent years. This comment has nothing to do with liking her, I love Janet. The die-hard Janet fans, may disagree with my statement but look at the sales.

This may not come as a surprise as the pop diva told Billboard that she was not sure of her future with the label, but you would think that since its top man, Antonio L.A. Reid, who's in charge that the relationship would have been ended differently.

Maybe the diva should take a break from music, till she's able to create sometime new. She's in her 40's now, maybe trying a more mature sound might work, as the young generation are listening to a different kind of beat. Perhaps being in "control" is the problem.

It was definitely one of the many first in television land, where you saw Africian American people living and experiencing normal lives. I remember that I would pretend that I was asleep, but could see the television from my bedroom. Peyton Place was like Dynasty, full of adult drama. In later years, Glynn appeared in varies movies but I'm sure a lot of people remember him from the series, "Different World." He was also married to the Queen of Soul, Ms. Aretha Franklin.

It's hard to believe that the veteran actor is 62 years old. He was given an Emmy for being, "Outstanding Guest Actor" in a Drama Series. The series is "In Treatment."

I'm extremely happy for him, and I wish I had watched the Emmy's this year, so I could have witness this win, but I decided to watch the new HBO series, "True Blood." Oh well.
