CONGRATULATIONS HARLEMM!!!!!! I am truly excited about Harlemm's
claim to fame and wish him all the best in the continuation of his
AMAZING adventure! I can't wait to see how his journey begins and
continues to excel. Harlemm is living proof that anything is
possible and all your dreams can come true! Pure inspiration!!!

Congrats to Shannon as well for the recording contract. I look
forward to seeing her continue to grow as a performer and evolve as a
singer. Not to mention, I love her dancing and personal style.



On a personal note...I don't really think it was right of Johnny to
extend a contract to Shannon on the spot only moments after Harlemm
had won the entire FAME contest. I think it took away from the
specialty of Harlemm's achievement. Don't get me wrong. I'm not
saying Johnny doesn't have the right to sign Shannon or any of the
other contestants, I just think his timing and the manner in which he
chose to do it was inappopriate...not the right time or place.

Additionally, I'm curious how the promotion of each of these
performers will pan out. I mean, if Shannon had won from viewer
votes, would Johnny have offered a contract to Harlemm...my guess is
no. Johnny has never expressed any particular like or dislike toward
Harlemm. It has always been Shannon, Shannon, Shannon. Now that
Harlemm has won, Johnny still gets his way by extending Shannon a
contact as well. Will Shannon be put in the limelight and put on the
fast track because she's Johnny's star? And will Harlemm be lost in
the wake of it all? If so, I don't think that's fair to Harlemm or
the viewers who voted for him. Additionally, it jeapordizes the
credibilty of the entire contest and the show...which it seems the
general public has been questioning for some time.

Just needed a moment to vent my frustrations and see if anyone else
shared the same opinions. Thank you for allowing me to express the
right of free speech each week and I hope to share more thoughts with
everyone if and when Fame returns for a second run.

Keep on dancing!

I agree with youentirely. After Brandon was voted off, I immediately switched channels and came back only to find out who had won. When it came down to...

Johnny did that because he didn't want Harlemm. I'm sure he's upset that now he's got to spend time and money trying to help Harlemm in an industry that...
