I'm sure she tried that. She just doesn't seem to have the "it" factor. I don't know much about her but she seems that she was gonna ride being a halfway fly lightskinned chick to fame and fortune. I don't know her "career" but I would assume she went the Popstar route after the acting shyt fell through, or maybe she got a couple of roles after her pop career but everyone talks about her as the chick that didn't blow up so I can't see her sliding into acting after singing.
I literally know her because akademiks and other people talked about how she failed to buss.
