Carrie Underwood to Mean People: Find Jesus!

The Sound of Music on NBC is over. But the sounds of critics across the online universe continue to grow louder. Following a live stage performance of this iconic musical Thursday night, Carrie Underwood took Twitter on Friday and responded to those who have lashed out over her portrayal of Maria. “Plain and simple: Mean people need Jesus,” the former American Idol champ wrote. “They will be in my prayers tonight…1 Peter 2:1-25.” This Bible scripture states to “rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.” Kym Karath, who played Greti von Trapp in the 1965 film, was one of many who slammed the show, Tweeting during its airing: “Mystified & disappointed so far by SOM special. So far only happy with Stephen Moyer. Must admit some scenes are actually painful to watch…. “Love Carrie Underwood but this role is just not right for her. She is lovely her voice is beautiful but acting is wrong.” Many agreed. No one can question Underwood’s voice, but she isn’t a seasoned actress and it showed at times. Did you tune in for the Sound of Musical special? What did you think?   Loved it!! Liked it enough. Not a huge fan … Hated it! That sucked! View Poll »

Susan Boyle Reveals Asperger’s Syndrome Diagnosis

Susan Boyle, the sensational singer who rose to fame in 2009 on Britain’s Got Talent, has admitted in a new interview that she has Asperger’s Syndrome. Speaking to The Observer, Boyle – who suffered from learning disabilities as a child due to oxygen deprivation at birth – said she was diagnosed last year by a specialist. “I have always known that I have had an unfair label put upon me,” Boyle told the publication. “Now I have a clearer understanding of what’s wrong and I feel relieved and a bit more relaxed about myself.” The 52-year old struggled with the pressure of fame soon after striking it big. In May of 2009, police actually intervened when she lost it on a couple of fans outside a hotel in London. But she has managed to sell over 14 million albums in just a few years and recently released her fourth studio album, “Home for Christmas,” in time for the holidays. She told the British newspaper that is grateful to now have a better understanding of her social difficulties. “I would say I have relationship difficulties, communicative difficulties, which lead to a lot of frustration. If people were a bit more patient, that would help,” Boyle said, adding: “Asperger’s doesn’t define me. It’s a condition that I have to live with and work through, but I feel more relaxed about myself. People will have a much greater understanding of who I am and why I do the things I do.”
