Rewind: Gabourey Sidibe’s Mom On ‘America’s Got Talent’

Posted on

I’m on an one-hour shade free cleanse so I’m not saying a word.

Oscar-nominated actress Gabourey Sidibe isn’t the only talent in the family.

Her mother, Alice Tan Ridley, is a well-known subway performer in New York City with a huge, booming singing voice. And Ridley used her vocal chords to wow the judges on ‘America’s Got Talent.’

To a roar of the crowd, Ridley began Etta James’ ‘At Last,’ prompting a big smile from Howie Mendel.

“Millions of people must have gone back and forth on that subway over 20 years, how come nobody signed you?” Sharon Osbourne questioned. (Popeater)

    I just wanted to say that I’ve known of Alice Tan Ridley for almost ten years she was already a star in her own right and my fave song from her is a song called “My Man”, Lets give her a chance without bringing her daughter into it,

    i’m irritated with this chick because she took some everest college courses in “coattail riding”. if she was meant to be a star, she should have taken her shot long ago, not after her kid gets discovered.

    “Millions of people must have gone back and forth on that subway over 20 years, how come nobody signed you?”
    *clears throat,* I’ll answer that: CAuse noone buying a album from a women who looks like she bathes in baby oil, and wear raggedy pink sponge rollers to bed.

    • tragic

    she looks as greasy as a lady at work.  The woman still has a real live jheri curl.  Where does one get cur activator in the year 2010?

      Prolly uses that **** she’s sweatin off to hydrate her curls.

      All the way in the back at Obama Beauty Supply or your local Korean Store.  They got a case left that someone dug off the side of the road when Sof-N-Free went outta business.  If you are willing to snatch it from under the rat/mouse using it as a head rest its yours free of charge

  • divaTy ツ

    So do you think she sleeps in the sponge rollers or the foam ones?

    • http://www.twitter.com/freshalina Fresh

      You know it.

    Just greasy for no reason at all.

    • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/CBJU3JDYZQTM3RFRR2MAVVTUTM peppermint

      I could give you a few reasons why:

      -Butter
      -lard
      -broken dreams
      -ReRe shape
      -Black muumuu outfits
      -Oil fried oil

      just to name a few…
