Rock the “We Want Skinny No Talent Individuals On This Show†Cradle!
I don’t know about you, but I was a big fan of MTV’s Rock the Cradle until last Thursday!
For those who don’t know Rock the Cradle is a singing competition that puts the spotlight on children of music celebrities. The kids get a chance to display their talent to see if they have what it takes to emerge from the shadows of their famous parent and become a “Rock Starâ€. The first night I noticed a talented young lady by the name of A’Keiba Burrell-Hammer. A’Keiba is the daughter of MC Hammer and if you do not know who MC Hammer is please leave this site now and do a Google search and you will find out that YOU have lived on another planet for about hmmmmm 20 YEARS!
A’Keiba came out a little nervous but there was no doubt in the judges’ mind that this girl can SANG! The second week of competition A’Keiba killed her performance by singing “Killing Me Softlyâ€. You can tell she was starting to get comfortable on stage and the audience was feeling her performance. After her performance, the judges gave their scores and all the judges felt that her vocals were amazing but she neededto work on her stage presence (and trust me all of the contestants need to work on stage presence). UNTIL one skinny, anorexic Judge tells A’Keiba that she looks like a 40-year-old woman! HOLD THE HELL UP!
Now my thicksational women, I am sure we all remember a time when an individual(s) assumed we were older than our age. The reality is when you have the PRIVILEGE of having more BUTT, BREAST and THIGHS naturally you will look OLDER! To me A’Keiba style was very classy. She did not look 40!
Despite the rude comment, I knew A’Keiba was safe from elimination. WELL I WAS WRONG! Last Thursday she was voted off! Do you think it was due to her talent? NO! She was voted off because the first thing this industry looks at is not talent but if you are marketable. The industry felt A’Keiba wasn’t profitable and in my opinion, it’s due to her size. This is another example of a dumb move by Hollywood producers. When will these fools understand that we are the MAJORITY? There are more women in this world who look like A’Keiba than Paris “Drunk A**†Hilton. Obviously, we will support our own and she would have had plenty of support if she continued in the show. In any competition when I see someone that has more plump in the butt, I feel as if we have a connection and it is my job to support because we all know it’s hard out here for a THICKY!
In closing I would like to say I wish A’Keiba the best and I hope this wack show made her more determine to follow her dreams!
