Am I the only one who thinks Sylvia Brown is just wrong?

I always believed that there could be some people who have psychic gifts. This woman, however, is not one of them. I happened to see her on TV the other day and it is so obvious she has no idea what she's talking about. She just rattles off names and events until the poor, distressed person she's talking to nods his or her head in agreement. All she is doing is asking questions. The other person provides all of the answers, and she ends up looking like she has some sort of gift. The only gift this scam artist has is the gift of cold reading. Has anyone else noticed this?

Date: 7/8/2004 2:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 55009    most people are vague and word their questions to seem like answers or like a middle man... that is how most of them make their money and fool people, if i ever went to one i would want them to describe to me what they look like then i would definately know if they were full of crap or not...  
Date: 7/8/2004 2:55:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 6317    I have never read any of her books, Misty Spirit, so I can't comment on that. BigD, a friend hired a woman to tell my fortune on my B-day, and I just sat there with my poker face on. To the point where she actually told me that I had to "help her out" or she wouldn't be able to tell me anything! It was entertaining, though.  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 30229    I SOOOOOO agree with you, when I see her on something my mind is saying "comedy show"... hehe.  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:04:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 6317    I know, Lady Luck! I almost feel embarrassed for her! Almost.  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 29928    I ditto what Gail says!  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 33925    I agree..I dont like her either..she is obviously playing off of what the others are saying..Oh and I am LadyLuck..the other gal is Gail..LOLOL  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 24319    I saw her on Montel about 2 days ago, and I sat and wondered how many things she has told people, like about their missing loved ones, came true. I believe there are people who can see more than we can, but until I see results on things that are said, I find it hard to believe them.  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 24319    You know, for the longest time Lady Luck and Gail confused the crap out of me. It's the friggin tags man. The friggin tags...   
Date: 7/8/2004 3:15:00 PM  From Authorid: 58078    I saw a show on alot of different psychics and how they are all pretty much fake and do just what you said above. They fish the answers out of you.  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:18:00 PM  From Authorid: 10245    I don't know about her... but her nails creep me out.  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 3835    Just be mindful that one bad apple in the bushel does not spoil the whole lot. (-:  
Date: 7/8/2004 3:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    I agree with Sur5R.   
Date: 7/8/2004 3:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 62787    these people are RUDE! how dare they toy with peoples emotions about dead loved ones! they should be slapped!- Blade of the Samurai  
Date: 7/8/2004 4:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 40509    What about that show crossing over? I don't believe that one either. It seems like that show is on every time I turn the TV on!  
Date: 7/8/2004 4:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 36704    I do believe there are people with true psychic abilities, but Sylvia Brown is a greedy fraud.  
Date: 7/8/2004 5:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 19460    I like seeing Sylvia on Montel. My husband gets sooo mad at me for watching her LOL He lost his keys one day and he was all mad and ranting and raving asking everyone if they had seen his keys and he finally, very sarcastically, said "Good Lord someone call Sylvia I bet she knows where they are!!!" LOL It was hilarious! But back to the point, it would help me believe in her more if she had update shows so we could see what was true and waht wasnt. And I dont mean some person saying Oh yes, Sylvia helped me find my son... I want to see a clip of her telling someone something, and then like news footage showing that she was right... know what i mean?  
Date: 7/8/2004 5:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 19460    And Gemini, that Crossing Over guy just worries me. He yacks so dang fast you wouldnt be able to be sure if he was for real or not.  
Date: 7/8/2004 5:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 62104    I don't know about Sylvia Brown, never seen her but I did hear once that what the John Edwards (Crossing Over) guy does is just read the minds of his audience members not really connecting with the dead relatives...I don't know if this is really true or not though, I just heard it.  
Date: 7/8/2004 5:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 35160    i think she has a gift. but she is WAY TO arrogant about it.  
Date: 7/8/2004 5:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 40509    Yeah, Spooky, I was thinking the same, they just blow it out of poportion and make it a publicity stunt...plus the money.
  
Date: 7/8/2004 6:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 24003    I think shes full of crap.  
Date: 7/8/2004 6:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 62383    I read one of her books and it was pretty good.. but the info was pretty much like any other book. My gf thinks she is full of it. I dont really know either way.  
Date: 7/8/2004 6:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 15070    John Edwards is full of crap. He was trained at a school here in Sarasota, Florida. He may have learned HOW to contact the spirit world, but he uses deceptive means now. A true psychic will tell you when they are getting "nothing". And, trust me, it does happen.  
Date: 7/8/2004 7:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 62249    anyone remember miss cleo? lol - MC Bacon  
Date: 7/8/2004 7:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    Actually, I have to disagree. She is from what I've seen, one of the most credible psychics around. I've seen many of her documentaries and have read one of her books. She used to help solve murders and had much success in doing so.  
Date: 7/8/2004 7:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    I must add though, that I do have a problem with psychics profiting from "their gift" to the extent that Sylvia has. A gift shouldn't be abused.  
Date: 7/8/2004 8:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 1799    people who get paid to be psychics (like Sylvia Brown) are usually full of it... you'll find the true ones don't ask for money (such as Sur5r and Predictor from USM)... Sylvia Brown is just scamming them..  
Date: 7/8/2004 8:36:00 PM  From Authorid: 54987    I haven't seen her in action... and don't really need to. It's difficult to judge... it's a subjective gift and some people are more gifted than others... and even then they have off days. If we learned to meditate we wouldn't use psychics. Psychics, more than mediums, use cold reading techniques. I never go to them... I use my own intuition.  
Date: 7/8/2004 8:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 54987    As an afterthought... some say that people shouldn't abuse their gifts. Does that mean that pianists, artists, and the like shouldn't charge either. I play the flute... I don't ask for money so I'm not abusing my gift.  
Date: 7/8/2004 10:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 53558    I have never heard for her, thank goodness.  
Date: 7/9/2004 7:00:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 6317    Ooops! Sorry Lady Luck and Gail! Maybe I should just stick to the authorid! I have to say, I do believe there are genuine psychics out there; I have asked for psychic advice on this site in the past (the most recent a year ago) and the predictions came true. It just seems that any supposed psychic who profits from his or her gift doesn't really have a gift.  
Date: 7/12/2004 5:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 34487    Koolade, when I said "abuse" I mean in the aspect of exploiting it or using it mainly for profit. I agree that many use their talents to make a living but because the gift of prophecy is rare and is therefore given very selectively, a person awarded this has even more responsibility in using it for unselfish means. Just my opinion though.  
Date: 6/20/2005 2:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 51292    I believe she is gifted..and she uses that gift to make a living. I heard that an hour long session with her costs around 800 dollars. I cant say if she is a fraud or not because all i know is what ive seen on TV..she seems very real to me, I would love to have a session with her..80)  
Date: 6/20/2005 2:04:00 PM  From Authorid: 16376    I am iffy about her. She has made some predictions which have come true. But her predictions 100 years into the future are crazy. I am an open minded person though, so she could have a true gift I think. But she is a little greedy, she charges a lot for readings. I think it could be more about the money than the gift to her.
