"My first introduction to soul music was, believe it or not, 'Sister Act.'" --Duffy

During her appearance on 'The View', the pint-sized singer revealed her unlikely inspiration to a very confused Whoopi Goldberg.

Yes, I CAN believe this kid's first exposure to Motown was "Sister Act." So sad.

To Rockola Rockhead...it's obvious that you are a HATER FOR LIFE...lol..but that's ok bcuz hating will NEVER make you beautiful.
Duffy is talented...she has to suck up to no one...and as far as you calling Whoopi anything outside of her name...face to face...I DOUBT IT.
You just find it easier to vent your frustrations out thru AOL with your psychotic babble...and so...like a volcano...bubble over...bubble over.
Last but not least...I'd like to say..."thanks" to AOL for making it easy for idiots like Rockola to spew their messages of hate by not requiring them to have REAL email accounts...smh.

WHOOPIE IS THE MOST SANE ONE ON THE VIEW OTHER THAN BARBARA. EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR OPINION. TOO BAD ELISABETH DOESN'T REMEMBER THIS. JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DISAGREE WITH HER SHE DOESN'T NEED TO GET SO DISRESPECTFUL OR SO DANG OPINIONATED THAT HER OPION IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS. SHE KNOWS NOTHING ELSE OTHER THAN MCCAIN. SHE REALLY DOESN'T HELP THE SHOW AT ALL BUT SHE'S ENTITLED I GUESS.

Whoopie didnt look confused, she was surprised thats all ... Whoopie has inspired many people including me, not only does she makes me laugh, she makes me think ...
Duffy was just paying tribute to a wonderful inspiring person, you go Duffy and Whoopie, i nevered watch the view until you came on... I love how you said its okay to disagree and then go out for a burger... wish more people thought you do ...

Woopie was most likely "acting" confused on purpose..... Give the young guest singer a break..... if you're going to Host a TV show... then show a little tolerance!!!! No one on that show knows how to show tolerance except Elizabeth.... and I'm not sure why she tolerates the rest of them!!!!

elisabeth doesnt show it either,and if you dont like the show then just dont watch it period. they have a job its called the '' view'', they are getting paid and everybody is entitled to there opinions,just because evrybody doesnt agree with elisabeth ''view'' then everybody else on the view is wrong ..... go figure...
last I heard we had a right to free speech ... I guess not we have to adhere to what some people think. god bless you anyway.

Honestly never heard of Duffy. Also had never heard of the lady that sang on "Saturday Night Live"...think her name was Adelle. She had a gorgeous voice and seemed shy and appreciative of the applause. Definitely someone worth checking out.
