Music career[edit]

This part can't be true, can it? Don't want to remove it in case it is. It's unsourced so it should be removed anyway.

does sally really have a gay newphew? how interesting —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.231.42.184 (talk) 18:02, 17 May 2008 (UTC) Thatlot!! (talk) 19:54, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vadalism[edit]

"Sally recently revealed that she was a huge fan of Michael Jackson and was deeply moved by his death. Sally could relate to him, especially being a vitiligo sufferer herself. Sally was also naturally black." Please provide a source for this! In the event that Sally is 'also naturally black' could this be more tastefully worded please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.109.197 (talk) 15:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

who is adding to this? where did the stuff about her disappointing her afro-caribbean roots by debuting her 'white skin' at the 1992 olympics? Deleted

I don't know what "vadalism" is, but remember: If in doubt, cut it out. (Is she really "ugly as hell"?)--Shantavira|^{feed me} 09:33, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was always under the impression that she was black? I think it's correct. She just had very fair skin
