YES!!! Brandy is far more entertaining than Star Jones. She will undoubtly bring more "spunk" and perspective to the table.

"I'm sorry that you

Seem to be confused

He belongs to me

The boy is mine"

That's a good song.

Boy! Star Jones must be fumming to see who is replacing her. I personally like Brandy and i hope this is a great start to her carrer.and to Star Jones I like to say HA HA.

Talented woman, young yes, easier on the eyes definetly.

If they want the point of view of a babe in the woods, Brandy would be a good choice. But if they want a mature, classy African-American woman, Gayle King would be great.

God Forbid!

I have watched her on "America's Got Talent." AWFUL! I've seen her interview on other shows. Not good. She needs to stick to entertainment.

The original concept for the view was women of different backgrounds with different perspectives.

Meredith Viera was the news perspective in Barbara's absence. Star, good or bad, was the legal perspective and the advocate. Joy brought humor and Lisa/Elizabeth, or that other woman brought a younger perspective to the show.

With Rosie, who is not hard news, and who is an advocate of sorts, the show needs to replace Star wtih someone "believable," someone with credibility in law or advocacy. Elizabeth doesn't cut it. Joy is great, but she is a comic. Rosie almost infringes on Joy's turf.

Barbara needs to tread carefully, here. Stick to what works!

i guess someone needs a job or they will would have repesented a sister

Meredith Vieira was the only reason that show did as well as it did in the first place. She is the most intelligent, articulate, and genuinely witty and sophisticated person. The others were boring nuisance chatterboxes. Meredith is talented enough to have her own show. Can't say that about any of the others, not even BW, who would not be anywhere without those inane celebrity interviews she does. Now that Vieira replaces Katie Couric on the Today Show, maybe she'll raise the bar yet again.

I like Brandy...hope it works out for her. I really can't tell what Barbara and ABC are looking for....just another African American face or someone to add credibility to the show?

Not a huge Star fan, but I wish ABC had handled this situation a little better. They've lost a few points with me. I wish Star all the best in her future endeavors.

No thanks. I agree with the statement above, Brandy seems like a total airhead on America's Got Talent. I'd much rather see Star replaced with Marianela from the Fuse music channel as it was being rumored there for a while.

I like Brandy, but I think we need a mature African American WOMAN to take Star Jones place. If you want to get a famous singer get Pati Label.

Avenue,

I agree with you. The torch has to be passed and Brandy may be but this show needs. Time will certainly tell.
