    will.i.am... does push [Big] beyond her Sly Stone safety zone. [Apr 2007, p.111]

    Hampered by Gray's dial-a-diva rasp, Big is nowhere near as good as it should be. [May 2007, p.92]

    I'm ashamed to say I heard this no-talent for the first time at a pro football game, of which I'm eternally damned, I know. After all, surrounded by pathetic middle-aged adolescents is no way to be introduced to something new. But here came Macy and her grrrrls to butcher our national anthem. Amidst a cascade of boos, she forgot the words, but was giggling the entire time like it was a big joke, which I guess in the context of the time and place, it was. But then again, so is anybody who takes her seriously as an artist. I promise to never go to another professional sporting event if you promise to occasionally just walk away from the "G" section of the R&B area in your local record store.… Expand
