There's no sense of storytelling or momentum to her performances: she starts the song in one place and stays there riding in circles until the end.
-
MojoUnderpowered covers... confirm the impression of a high-octane artist tired out and running on empty. [Dec 2005, p.105]
-
Just another bloated arena show.
-
It's great if you like her, not so great if you don't, and right down the middle for everyone else.
-
An abbreviated "You Don't Know My Name," truly a producer's creation, falls flat here, and she treats covers of Gladys Knight's "If I Was Your Woman" and "Every Little Bit Hurts" like vocal auditions and not the blank canvases of an interpretive artist.
-
UncutKeys hasn't the charisma to indulge in the inter-song banter here, which breaks up any soulful flow that might develop despite her sharp, hectoring vocals. [Jan 2006, p.108]
