some 'idol'

wtf? it says she dropped out of HIGH SCHOOL......how did she possibly get to highschool without knowing how to read?!

that in itself is a WTF....and needs to be looked into at whatever school system she came from.

I saw that 20/20 show just last night (I Tivo'd it).

She never really went into big detail about what degree of illeteracy she is, but they made a big deal of repeating "functionally illeterate" like a million times. It may mean she knows a little tiny bit, but not much more than that.

I agree, the school district that let her even get as far as she did needs to be looked into.

Her mother and some other family members are on the same boat. They even said that her "signature" song during the show, where she was sitting on the floor and gave a really good performance......she memorized it because she had never heard it before and couldn't read the sheet music. Not bad, but sad all at the same time.
