tamyra gray

In the first season of American Idol, a diva emerged... No, not Kelly Clarkson. Tamyra Gray. She sang Whitney Houston's "When a House is not a Home" and people were SURE that she was bound to be the first American Idol. Well, that didn't happen. And rightly so. She is a dumb pers0n.

I know you must be asking yourself, why am I picking on Tamyra Gray? Well, Tamyra has emerged once again as a songwriter and singer. Even after BUTCHERING the Star Spangled Banner at the finale of season 3 of American Idol, she has a rising career in the music industry. She is also responsible for the American Idol single, "I Believe," sung by Fantasia Barrino. This is where she proved herself to be dumb.

Now, I could be wrong... and this whole display of bad grammar could be blamed on the beautiful and amazing Fantasia Barrino... but when Fantasia sung this song the Tuesday night before the finale, this is what she sang...

Have you ever reached the rainbow's end?
Did you find your pot of gold?
Ever catched a shooting star?
Tell me how high did you soar

Catched. Dear readers, this is not a word. I do believe a quick grammar lesson is in order...

Kelly can catch the shooting star.
Ruben will catch the shooting star.
Watch Fantasia while she catches the shooting star.
Tamyra CAUGHT the shooting star last night (and then she dropped it when she wrote that song and put "catched" in it).

So, I am blaming all of this on Tamyra, but it really could be my dear sweet Fantasia. I love her though and would never write about her in here... so if it was her, then I am going to assume that she was trying to over articulate and she added the -ed onto catch, because "ever catch a shooting star" makes sense.

If it was Tamyra Gray's fault, I would advise her not to write anymore songs until she does a few more guest appearances on Boston Public and takes some English classes while she is there.
