hi everyone- getting caught up on all things related to AD today (tapes of past shows and some articles I saw relating to the show) and saw this article about the music stars who have appeared on AD this season. It was in last week's Entertainment Weekly and it rates the stars- remember it's their opinion and not mine- a few I have a real difference of opinion about. I will give the rating but not the 4 line blurb on each-
Michelle Branch as Lesley Gore- C-
Usher as Marvin Gaye- A-
Ashanti as Dionne Warwick-C-
B2K as The Temptations-B
India.Arie as Nina Simone- A-
LeAnn Rimes as Connie Francis- B+
Duncan Sheik as Bobby Darin- C
Nick Carter as Jay of Jay and the Americans- C
Wayne Brady as Jackie Wilson-B+
Vanessa Carlton as Dusty Springfield- B-
Vivian Green as Brenda Halloway- A-
Third Eye Blind as the Kinks- D

If anyone wants the specific comments on the particular performer let me know and I will type it out.

Shari.

That's interesting. They gave some of my favorite performances bad grades.
