    "Abysmal"
    Phillip Phillip is not only a singer, but a real artist with real born talent. Barbara, try doing your homework before you open your mouth about someone...This show has become the worst. Jessica has a good voice, but not her own...karoke..everything sounds the same with a lot of screaming...wait the view likes screaming! Phillip was not chose for his looks! I am late 50's and his talent and real genuine artistry, along with him keeping true to himself, made me vote for him. You owe him a HUGE APOLOGY, for opening your mouth and showing your rude uninformed true self.moreless

    Phillip Phillips won because he is an amazing artist NOT because he is CUTE as someone mentioned today. Unfair comment from the View
  • What's up with Barbara Walters ear lobes?

    Probably from wearing those heavy earrings but that right lobe looks awful. Barbara, see a plastic surgeon and get it repaired. Her ear lobes aren't seen much because she usually has her hair covering them. It looks terrible.

    Pres.Obama is making another political strategy by supporting the gay marriage.just like the immigration issue when he is running for President a lot of immigrant voters vote for him and he was elected but where is the immigration? he would say the Republicans don't support it
    that will happen also to gay marriage.
