Even though she clearly considers herself a legitimate rapper, she's a novelty act who's popularity will wear out very quickly.
At least with Jedward, they were annoying but there was something quite daft about them which made them likable. Ms. Gilford has no likeable qualities about her at all as far as I can see.
I can't imagine Cowell will let her release material that's similar to the stuff she put out years ago, so in one respect, she could certainly be seen as a 'sell out' even.
People will buy her stuff because they think they're being hilarious and ironic. It won't be because it's actually any good. She'll still sound like a supply teacher who went to a karaoke night and who gets out of breath halfway through the song.”
Absolutely spot on JW. The fact she thinks she's all that is laughable but Cowell and co encouraging this deeply unlikable, talentless woman to believe her own hype is setting her up for a massive fall when she realises people are laughing at her, not with her and that she's about as credible as Bob The Builder

Ditto. I've loved a lot of hip hop over the years and I've even got a photo of my with The Soul Sonic Force many years ago. The fact this cretin calls herself a serious rapper is a bad joke but I do agree it's all rather insulting.

Agree. I could never decide whether she was in on the joke or took herself seriously but now that I'm sure it's the latter, it's rather pathetic that she's being encouraged in her delusions.
Though when was the last time someone who claims to be a genuine fan used the name 'Snoop Doggy Dogg' since about 1995?
