Aww is that really her? She looks so happy!

Cedi · 11-11-2008, 07:42 PM

Yes It`s Amanda

sparky · 11-11-2008, 09:17 PM

LOL There is a resemblance, but I don't think this is Amanda.

If I'm correct, these photos are from the night of the election. Every single news station was in Chicago that night and I watched live coverage that whole night flipping back and fourth through several channels.

They kept showing the crowd and also pointing out any famous people who were there. I didn't see or hear anything about Amanda. I saw Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, and I think also Angelina Jolie's father was there too. But nothing about Amanda. Even searching on the web doesn't show anything. I'm sure if Amanda was there we would have known about it with all the media in that area that night.

Plus she always stayed away from politics. Why would she suddenly appear on election day?

I could be wrong, of course. And it would be cool if it really is her. But that photo doesn't do it for me. Although I do see the resemblance.

It is very difficult to tell. I agree with Sparky's explanation.

brusha · 11-11-2008, 09:36 PM

Doesn't the hair look too dark? AND she has family in Chicago, maybe it's just a doppleganger cousin?

wonderboy · 11-11-2008, 11:32 PM

It's from so far away. They could have skipped over her when they were pointing out celebrities. It's not like she was suddenly going into politics, she wasn't telling her opinion to the media, she could have been there as a supporter. It does look like her though.

longbeachlt · 11-12-2008, 12:39 AM

nice pic of amanda !! she looks nice! i dont like obama but im glade she had a good time hearing him talk

cdc792000 · 11-12-2008, 01:26 AM

I don't think its her. There would be more pics. I admit, she does look like Amanda.

sparky · 11-12-2008, 04:18 AM

Whoever this girl is, she is haunting me now!

There is a spooky resemblance to Amanda. But I really don't think it's her, mainly for the reasons I mentioned above.

Anyway, I made these comparison shots using photos of Amanda taken within the same week as this mysterious November 4th photo.

We saw pics of Amanda before Nov. 4th (the Halloween photo). And also several times after Nov. 4th. Her hair was the same all week long. This mystery girl has noticeably darker hair, as brusha pointed out. Her nose is different. So are her cheeks and eyes.

Besides, I don't think it would have been possible for her to have been there without anyone noticing. Especially with all the media and reporters there.

btw Cedi, how did you find this photo? Was it just by luck? or did you read something about Amanda being there or anything like that?

I can't find any evidence that Amanda was there.

.

Cedi · 11-12-2008, 08:35 AM

OK maybe There is not Amanda but for me its her.

First it was dark sparky you made comparison how can you compare this photo.

I just wondering how you like when you happy or smile for very important and This comparison presents nothing beacuse when you smile your face change You squint eyes , cheek are extended and hair for me have same Length.

Otherwise hair looks when you take photo in room with good light and different outside in dark when you are tired and as you see this women (amanda ) SCREAM maybe can not find any evidence that Amanda was there.

cdc792000 · 11-12-2008, 09:43 AM

Someone needs to ask Amanda if she was at the Obama rally. Even contacting her publicist and asking does not sound like that difficult of a thing to do.

Bynesrules · 11-12-2008, 10:30 AM

I don't think that's Amanda

Griesi · 11-12-2008, 02:30 PM

yes or no? this is acrazy discussion

charlespt · 11-12-2008, 03:50 PM

Hmm, I say no.

Timothywalker · 11-12-2008, 03:51 PM

It looks a lot like her but I don't think it's her. As many posters said, the hair is much darker than Amanda is wearing hers and the mouth is a little different. But I'm a big Obama supporter so it would be very cool if she were there.

**open32** · 11-13-2008, 06:34 PM

From the picture its really hard to tell, but there are people out there who do look similar and this pictures just doesnt have good enough quality to tell for sure.

Amanda has never said a single thing about politics ever and make it a point to totaly avoid the question. She hasnt said anything about it after the election ehter. It seems wierd and unlikely that she would then make such a big statement to attend that raly.

By the photo alone there is no way to tell for sure, But I would have to go with NO, that its not Amanda

cdc792000 · 11-13-2008, 10:16 PM

Look, if it was Amanda how come no one in Chicago has chimed in with any sightings? Wouldn't she be out and about? Wouldn't we have photos of her in and around the Chicago area? Think about it. If pics of Amanda surfaced with her in Chicago I would guess it was her. Besides, weren't their pics of Amanda in LA the day before or the day after? Where was Amanda on November 3rd,4th, or 5th? It looks like her a lot, but I think if it was her people in the crowd would be posting and talking about it. If it was her why are there not more pics and just the one?

wonderboy · 11-13-2008, 11:40 PM

I really want to know who that girl is. Maybe she's the one stealing all of Amanda's roles!

sparky · 11-14-2008, 07:01 AM

Yeah I agree with the previous two comments left by open32 and cdc792000. It's pretty obvious at this point that the girl is not Amanda. Being there not only conflicts with Amanda's M.O. (wow I'm speaking like some kind of detective now), but there is also no way she could have made it out of there without being spotted by the thousands of people in that location. Everyone had their cameras. All I saw were flashes 10 times per second on TV.

Stories and pictures would have been all over the net. Plus all the news channels and reporters were there. This is Amanda Bynes, not Houdini... and I don't even think Houdini could have escaped that. She would have also had to elude the paparazzi who hang out at LAX airport when she took a plane to Chicago and back.

We do have pictures of her on November 5th in LA at the Company 81 launch party (not even a full 24 hours since that night in Chicago). That first comparison photo I posted above is one of those pictures. When I made that comparison I was concentrating on the faces when I should have been concentrating on the hair length.

November 4th: 1
November 5th: 1 | 2 | 3

btw Cedi, please don't think we are being disrespectful or anything like that. We are very happy that you joined the forum and also that you found and posted this pic. I like the discussion in this thread too. That picture really does look like Amanda, but at the same time, it also doesn't. We just wanted to know for sure if this is Amanda or not. Hope you understand.
