Did ‘The X-Factor’ Intentionally Obscure Stacy Francis’ Past Success As A Singer?

Quote:

Everyone is talking today about Stacy Francis, the 42-year-old single mother who wowed the judges on The X-Factor last night with her passionate rendition of Aretha Franklin‘s Natural Woman. And rightfully so! She did a great job (even if she was flat at times). However, after doing a bit of research on her, I found out the show was somewhat misleading in presenting her as a struggling single mother who sings only after her kids go to sleep at night. Stacy Francis has already had quite a bit of success in the music business, getting signed to a major label in the nineties and starring in several Broadway and West End (as in, London’s Broadway) musical theater productions.

[...]

Additionally, Francis is involved with the Church of Scientology and seems to have made some connections through that. Here’s a video of her performing at Tom Cruise‘s birthday party three years ago

Discussing Stacy’s recent divorce and current appearance on The X-Factor, members of a messageboard for ex-Scientologists speculated that Scientology played a role in her divorce. (We know it’s recent because she and her husband moved to Los Angeles together in 2007.) “Looks like her marriage ended, and I cant help but wonder if that is due to the church. I dont think her husband the dentist was all that into Scientology,” writes one person. It wouldn’t be the first marriage Scientology has broken up. Another person admits that Scientology may have helped Stacy gain confidence: “When you think you are an immortal spiritual being with super powers who can bend time and space with your postulates it does give you confidence. And that delusion is probably most helpful for a performer.”

I doubt Stacy, herself, had anything to do with it. The fault lies with the X-Factor producers who deliberately create & falsify personal bios to make the TV show more interesting and kick up their ratings. Stacy's life story, as presented on X-Factor, is riddled with errors. Stacy Francis has been previously married to Mike Sandlofer in New York (who she claims belittled her as a singer) and dentist Darwin Hayes of North Hollywood 2 years ago. She is not a "single mother raising 2 small children". She shares custody with Hayes. He's holding one of their kids in his lap here..

There's rumors floating about that Stacy is still married to this guy & "the young, black single mother of two small children" was a racist scenario fully contrived by X-Factor producers (such as in the promo video where she is seen pushing a baby carriage while cradling a kid in one arm & rushing to the audition room sign-up table, out of breath, and proclaiming, "I'm Stacy Francis" ).

I received a PM on my ESMB account & forwarded dox to a reporter. Here's the article..

http://crushable.com/entertainment/did- ... inger-393/

Simon Cowell is being sued in the U.K. over the handling of a mentally handicapped woman who has competed for the last 4 years. This year, the producers searched her out, encouraged her to compete again, paid for her hotel & a stipend, just so the X-Factor could have an enjoyable moment while exploiting this poor woman's handicap. This after the poor woman's husband just passed away. Sick!!

The producers of X-Factor are unapologetic. The exploitation makes for good television.

Is she or was she a scientologist? Are her lips moving? IF the answer is yes to these questions then of course she is lying!

Tom Cruise and Stacy Francis Singing Together on Scientology's Ship Freewinds
by Tony Ortega, Village voice. 7th Nov 2011
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninsca ... tology.php

Quote:

If you've been following along with the drama around X Factor contestant Stacy Francis, you know that her entire past has come under inspection as her fans and detractors have attempted to sift truth from legend.

In particular, we have noted that Francis has been quiet about her long membership in the church of Scientology, including her performances aboard Scientology's Freewinds ship in 2004 at a special 40th birthday celebration for the actor Tom Cruise. For years, videos of that performance have been available on the Internet in which Francis serenaded Cruise and Scientology leader David Miscavige.

Today, however, we were told that there was another portion of that birthday celebration which may never have been online before, and it's the best part of the show! In the segment, Francis and Cruise sing together on their rendition of Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll," which of course famously appeared in Cruise's breakout film, Risky Business. One of the friends of Runnin' Scared uploaded that video to YouTube so we could make it public here. Enjoy!

The video does cut off that the end, and we're told there was some damaged media at fault. But then, there's an ending segment, in which Francis stands by as Cruise thanks his Scientology friends for his great birthday celebration...

Tony O, see Blown for Good's excerpt on the crazy setup for Cruise's birthday bash. Note 1

Both Shelly Miscavige (DM's wife) and Lou Stuckenbrock (DM's apparent mistress) attended; these were the days that both of them tagged along after DM with Lou occasionally hitting underlings (Note 2). Since 2007 - attending her father's funeral , Shelly has disappeared (Note 3). There is much speculation of where Shelly is held (Note 4) even her face on a milk carton! (Note 5). Shelly singing along on the We Stand Tall video from the 1990's (Note 6)

X-FACTOR CHEATING SCANDAL
Published on: November 9, 2011
By Rick Egusquiza, NATIONAL ENQUIRER [In Print only]
http://www.nationalenquirer.com/celebri ... s-adultery [country-restricted link. Requires proxy outside of USA]

Quoted in full is this online teaser of the print article....

Quote:

A sleazy cheating scandal threatens to destroy “X Factor” standout STACY FRANCIS’ chance to take the reality show’s top prize, sources say.

According to court records obtained exclusively by The ENQUIRER, the talented singer, 42, gave birth to a baby girl when she was still married to her dentist husband Darwin Hayes – and it isn’t his child!

“Stacy is a very complicated woman,” a source close to her told The ENQUIRER. “She’s always talking about her wonderful children, her love of God and how grateful she is for her many blessings. But she never mentions that she cheated on her husband with a mystery man.”

Stacy wed Darwin in 2007 but filed for divorce in May 2010 and has been battling over custody of their nearly 4-year-old son Donovan. In court papers, Darwin claims their marriage was “fraught with financial and emotional problems.” He also said Stacy “sought solace elsewhere, resulting in her (second) pregnancy…It is clear to me that the baby is not mine as (Stacy) has told me and many others.”

According to Los Angeles County birth records, Stacy delivered daughter Anastasia Noelle Jones on Dec. 3. While no father’s name is listed on the birth certificate, Darwin claims in court papers that Stacy “receives a substantial amount of money” from her mystery baby daddy.

“There’s no doubt that Stacy has star quality,” said the source.

“But I’m sure if ‘X Factor’ fans knew that she got knocked up with another man’s child while she was still married, they’d ‘X’ her right off the show!”

Maybe one of you in the US who can have a look at the upcoming print issues to see if there is any of the scientology-related stuff in it. I believe the NI has been fed all the source.

[Mod Edit: Epithets removed. You can make your point well enough without being quite that nasty]
Nevertheless, I think that I can evaluate her singing without prejudice (there is such legal term, “without prejudice“, but it means not what people may think). She misses too many notes, which anyone with a good musical hearing can easily detect. Simon called her a “Church singer”, and he is right about that; outside her comfort zone her performance is too screechy. Often she is overshadowed by the chorus, although some other contestants make this mistake, too. Paula called her a “diva”, but that’s garbage, as we say in NYC. She is an average singer and a diva wannabe.

To be fair, Simon Cowell said she was a "church singer" and when confronted with protests, he commented "church singers are the ones that sell records". Also, Stacy is 42-years old, well beyond her prime for a pop singer. Her vocal chords and range changes as she ages.

It is also difficult for singers to belt out songs when they are dancing on stage versus standing upright & singing. Performers have to learn the logistics of being able to belt out a song while tempering their movement on stage; if they get caught up in the dancing, their vocal range suffers. This clearly was the case with Stacy's performance. She was winded, out-of-breath and relying too much on her background singers to carry the song.

Stacy clearly has a fan base in the African-American community whose support which will carry her to the finals, but I don't think she will win.

It was a total disaster. Stacy was all over the place, she was going into wrong registers, etc. When criticized, she looked stunned.
The best performance of the night by the mile was by Josh. The show is not finished, but I know that no one will outperform him. But I am weak -- I am going to vote for Lakoda Rayne because all 4 girls look great.

Demented LRH · **Posted:** Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:30 pm

It is the end of a dream for Stacy -- she was in the bottom two after a horrific performance, yesterday 3 judges sent her home after additional performance. Adios!

Sponge · **Posted:** Fri Nov 18, 2011 3:12 pm

So, unless scientology grabs her on the way down, there's nothing else of interest in this story.

brownjedi · **Posted:** Fri Nov 18, 2011 4:53 pm

WOuld seem to be the end of this story. The question is why? She is definately talented and has the tech behind her, so why isnt she already a success and why would she be bounced?

Does Stacy Francis Have A Baby By Bishop Noel Jones?
3/26/12
http://www.hiphopgossipsite.com/2012/03 ... 3DqZdnZWSo

Quote:

Many folks know the name Stacy Francis due to her appearance on the hit show "X Factor", or from the altercation she "allegedly" had with Whitney Houston a day before she passed away over Ray J. Now, however, there is this crazy rumor going around that Stacy Francis "allegedly" got knocked up with Bishop Noel Jones' baby while she was still married to her husband, Darwin Hayes.

This may not seem like news to you guys, but I posted an article some time ago stating that Bishop Noel Jones was possibly dating LisaRaye. If you don't remember that article click (here). And for any Bishop to knock up a married woman in any capacity is #NOBUENO in my book nor in the eyes of the Lord! But let me digress.

"Allegedly", Stacy Francis did not want to reveal the identity of her childs father because of his stature in the entertainment world......and word is Stacy Francis did an interview with "Access Hollywood" acting like she didn't know who the father was and he wasn't in her life. However, a source close to Stacy Francis has revealed that the father is "allegedly" Bishop Noel Jones!

What a coincidence since Stacy's daughter's name is Anastasia Noelle Jones!! And if that wasn't enough of a coincidence for you guys, Stacy Francis appeared on the Elgin Charles show to not only get her hair done, but to talk about her unborn child not being her husbands!!

had to google:Bishop Noel Jones... his sister Is actress/model Grace Jones
Hes a Big shot and Wealthy Pentecostal Minister in LA

evidently a bit of a player too..
No wonder Stacy Praises Jebus and dropped Hubbard..
she has a hight profile sugar daddy on the hook...

gotta keep those Bishops sins under wraps....

(see:unnamed baby daddy and substantial benefactor in X-FACTOR CHEATING SCANDAL)

Anastasia "Noelle Jones"
Bishop "Noel Jones"...uh huh.

ding looks like we have a winner..give that man a cigar!
