BellaNaijarians, What Do You Think About Adanna Duru, the Nigerian-American Contestant on American Idol Season XIV
Meet Adanna Duru – a contestant on the 14th season of the American Idol. Adanna was born in California in 1996 to Nigerian parents.

Adanna has an electrifying voice and a wonderful stage performance.
I have been voting for her since I heard her name and suspected that she’s a nigerian.
Other performers that I love to watch are Tyanna Jones and Quenington.

Who are you to call someone ugly? Is she even ugly? Look at her model figure and facial structure! Look at those straight endless legs! Look at that smile! Look at that attitude! Babe has life! And she’s VERY beautiful biko! Even JLO said so! Even chimpanzees would have mouth to talk here because nobody knows what they look like. Please take several seats by a smelling LAWMA truck! Nkakwu!

I usually don’t comment but I couldn’t resist. Mr Azubuko is the reason people are afraid to pursue their dreams. She’s not on a modelling or beauty show so I don’t understand your comment. The lady is beautiful with a fab voice. Why bring beauty into this for goodness sake. Why not appreciate her voice which is the reason for this piece. Or does it make you feel better to put people down? It’s not nice. Be sensitive to how your words affect others. Peace

Who is not beautiful? Is it because she didn’t employ a team to tush her up? Let the right make-up artist and stylist descend on her and you will see transformation. Like knowledgeable people said, she is the “whole package.” I just hope she continues to pursue it because Nigerian parents, even in California or the US as a whole are not known to overly encourage their children in such unstable fields. Once things don’t move swiftly enough, they’re like nne, this music eh, is not for serious people oh, come and go to school to have something to fall back on and that’s the beginning of the end because a music career is a full time job…All the best to her though!
