I think Vicky deserves to win bcs she’s good
It’s my job to thought Soul Train sucked because ALL of the performers Needed to lip sync. My parents utilized to watch Solid Gold and when i was bored I would watch that mess. But, I thought Arsenio was funny-ish.
I want to know when the next audition is coming up.thanks.
