I stand here today on behalf of Keyla Richardson.
God help me today. I saw this in a dream 1 day before the finals.
American idol , you should be ashamed of yourself. You used this young African-American woman and her son to draw viewers. You had no intention of allowing her to win. You used her precious gift for the sake of your ratings.
Once you achieved that, you dropped her after she had served her true purpose. . I stand today on behalf of Keyla Richardson God help me!
This young lady is a true child of God, and his eyes are in every place beholding the good and the evil.
You should not have done this. This is a human being who has feelings and emotions and she gave you her all, but all you were concerned about is the ratings.
Carrie, Lionel, and Luke, how can you even look at yourselves in the mirror and be a part of this atrocity.
I speak on behalf of this young lady because her precious gift from God touched my life in a special way, and I am compelled to share what God showed me concerning her
Of course, God didn't show me the individuals working behind the scenes, I cannot call you by face nor by name.
I just know that you made her an American Idol for a different purpose. You knew that we would rally behind her. You knew that she would draw a large audience. That's all you wanted from her. That's all you wanted from us. We all felt that pain. You hurt her and you hurt us. We all felt that pain very deeply. I hope you're satisfied. You got just what you wanted out of Kayla. We bear her pain together. You hurt us all and now you expect us to continue to watch your show. I don't think so. Now that I know the truth behind your use of African Americans, how could I ever support the show again?
I have nothing to gain from this post. I have never met Keyla Richardson nor am I affiliated with her in any way. I have never spoken with her. All I know is what God showed me in a dream.
And just to think, you had the audacity to end your program with the worship.
Apparently, Kayla Richardson is a true child of God and a true worshiper.
