If you watch enough of Montel's shows or have had the opportunity to see her in person or have a phone reading with her, you'll come to the conclusion that so many already have: she's a fake and a fraud and is doing nothing but "cold reading," and doing it badly. Basically, she's… More making stuff up off the top of her head, not based on psychic intuition, but based on educated guessing. Few times she gets things right, but mostly she gets it WRONG!! And when she does, she blows it BIG TIME!! Look at her predictions regarding the Sago Mine Disaster, Shawn Hornbeck, Opal Jo Jennings, Ryan Katcher, etc., etc. I'm pretty much convinced that Montel and his staff know she's a fake too and edit her show to make it seem like she's gifted or whatever. But the reality is the actual tapings run far longer than the episodes actually aired and they edit out or omit a lot of the stuff she blunders. But the stuff that does make it on air is not that much better. She gives very general readings that could apply to anyone. Example: a Woman will ask, when will I get married? Sylvia: 2 years. Wow, is that psychic? notice, the woman can't verify that answer right away. She'll have to wait 2 years to see if it passes muster, but by then, nobody will have remembered that prediction except her. And if Sylvia's wrong, nobody cares cause the woman's not famous.

Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Sylvia Browne. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Just go to her own website at sylviabrowne.com and notice how it is totally geared towards making sales at every turn.
No matter what page you click on, whether it is trying to get you to purchase readings for $775+ a pop, or spend money on her books, videos, lectures, hypnosis sessions, show tickets, "spiritual" jewelry, a subscription to her newsletter (which is not free), and anything else of any substance on the website which can't be accessed until you have paid for it, that's all there is, advertisements for her menagerie of dubious services and products that she wants you to buy with cold, hard cash.
And, most significantly to me, you can't even post anything on her message board without purchasing an "Inner Circle" membership first! It's all just one big online commercial designed to feed her pocketbook by any means possible, and to ensure that no dissenting opinions or bad reviews will ever be aired on her own website.
So it's obvious to me from that standpoint alone that she does not really care about helping people or having any honest discussions with anyone about her abilities, no matter what she might say to the contrary when she's on TV. The proof is in the pudding. All she actually cares about is getting money, money, and more money, from anyone who can and will fork it over to her. And no one with any truly spiritual gifts or connections with benevolent spirits or gods such as those that she purports to have at her disposal would ever have the need or desire be like that.
And then she has the nerve to accuse her critics of being materialistic just for being skeptical of her wondrous claims. What a hypocrite! At least James Randi doesn't charge any fees for the privilege of being allowed to make posts on the message board at his website.
Everyone who in any way believes Sylvia is a psychic, read this. Sylvia is a liar and a manipulator. Do not believe anything she says on Montel. I stopped watching Montel on Wednesdays in March of '07 because of this website: stopsylviabrowne.com ----> Go to this website to know the full truth about her. Please do not be conned like I was for years. I believed she really could speak to our loved ones who have passed and could see the future. Absolutely NOT. For me this website was hard to read because I believed in her so much. Truth is so much harsher than facades, isn't it? It's very depressing and disappointing. I'm even more disappointed in Montel for keeping her on his show even though he knows she's a fake. She's been screwing with people's heads for years and that's not right. More people need to speak out. So to learn more about, go to stopsylviabrowne.com

Sylvia is the greatest, she beats out ever other pasychic-medium. I hate the way this site made it seem like she was only known for being on the montel show, she goes out on tour, she has a show on hay house radio, she is a best selling aurthur. She is amazing i love her. I can't wait for her 2007 predictions. Sylvia is a best selling writer of over 30 books, she is a regular on the Montel show, as well as Larry King Live. I love her, she has opeaned so many doors for me. Every one should read her books
This woman claims to be able to contact the dead and perceive metaphysical events of which only she seems to be aware. The fact that the rest of us refer to this tendency as 'schizophrenia' doesn't seem to bother her.
Browne has become a fixture on the Montel Williams show, where at least once a week, she pretends to transmit messages from the departed to the people in the audience. Why they needed to go through her and drag everyone out to the studio, and can't speak directly to each person at home, is beyond me. I mean, do the spirits watch Montel too? Isn't it a lucky coincidence that all the ghosts wanted to talk at the same place and time where everyone was going to show up?
What's really funny is a line from her book, 'Blessings from the Other Side,' in which Browne claimed to have talked to the spirit of her father many times. She said she could smell 'his beloved cherry tobacco.' He used to smoke a tobacco pipe.
Uh, do they let you smoke in heaven, even though it causes cancer here on Earth?
