Heather James I was very excited for the start of her new band G.R.L. as I loved her song "He Likes Boys" and I was a big fan of hers on the XFactor. I feel so sad for her family. She was just starting out and now the world is missing out on a new talent. I hope you can RIP now Simone.
Karen Higdon I loved her from the first audition on the "X-Factor." She was so full of confidence and she just radiated talent. I hadn't heard that she was in a new girl group but I know she would have been huge. I hope she knew how talented she was talented and wish she could have stayed with us longer. My prayers go out to her family.
