Liberian American Idol? Zoanette Johnson Thinks So!

Do people still watch American Idol? It doesn’t matter because Ms. Zoanette Johnson (American Idol top 20 contestant) tackles the stage with her vibrant personality and dramatic voice. She is a Okalahoma native-born in Liberia and I am so excited for her because she is representing my home country. People have been complaining that she is not American so she does not deserve to be on “American Idol”. I think that statement is so ignorant because I am Liberian and I am also an American citizen. American people need to stop with all the assumptions about Africa and do some research. It seems like anyone or anything that has to do with Africa gets hit with gigantic negativity.I don’t understand how people choose to stay dumb, I mean knowledge is free in this country so take advantage of it.

When I first saw her performance of ” Circle of Life” from the Disney Motion Picture Lion King, I was disappointed. I was thinking “Great, now she is going to have people thinking that all of us Africans know this song, like its our national anthem or something. But actually seeing it for the second time , I have to say I enjoyed it. That is one of my favorite Disney movie songs. She may not have hit all the right notes but it was something about that performance that was very captivating. I thought Nicki Minaj’s emotional comment was hilarious. Onika cut it out!!

Hate It or love it Zoanette is going to shine. Check out the video of her performance..

I use to be such a huge Nicki Minaj supporter.. I remember the first time I heard “Warning” and I was hooked. I searched all her videos on Youtube memorizing every song like I wrote it myself. But now I see Nicki is a completely different person. Even though she has changed negatively in my opinion, I will not deny the fact that she has done phenomenally well in the Hip Hop game as a female MC. Kudos to you New Nicki but i just wish she wouldn’t have through her true MC essence away… RIP to the Old Nicki…

Did You Hear??

I decided to do a run down with some current events that I thought was interesting in the hip hop world.

THINK LIKE A MAN MAKES 33 MILLION IN THE BOX OFFICE THIS WEEKEND!!!!! Congrats to the cast and director of “Think Like a Man. I’m happy that this movie did well because we need more successful classic black movies. Recently, Terrence J and the director, William Packer stopped by my school, North Carolina A&T University, to promote this movie. I had so much fun that I lost my voice. I love what Packer is doing in Hollywood right now, we support you my brotha!!! Check out the video.

Shoutout to allhiphop.com for the Lil Kim info. I personally would take Lil Kim over Nicki any day!!! Been rappin her rhymes since I was 4 so I gotta respect her. But I think she deserved to have a couple more cites. She should have at least had a show in Atlanta or Miami. Does anybody besides me even care that the Queen Bee is coming back? Guess we will see when the tour ticket sales start adding up.
