No it doesn't. There is no rock involved.

I reiterate my comments from above.

GOD, that Sony commercial makes me want to CHEW BRICKS.

The Sony Commercial makes me dance.

Demons is great. The video is good too.

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Friday, 27 August 2004 03:05 (nineteen years ago) link

That bootleg mash-up that puts the vocals for "Demons" over some Rammenstien gramophone is a flippin' ACE!!!!!! In reckon she would be a really good singer if she were in a hilariously overblown German metal band!!!!

"I Try" is going to sound great as a one-hit-wonder forgotten oldie in ten years. Trust me.

She's from my hometown of Canton!!

― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 27 August 2004 11:37 (nineteen years ago) link

she had some great songs on the first album. lost interest since then but cant believe the hate shes getting here. i try, ive commited murder, and a few others i cant remember right now were great.

She sounds a little bit like the singer from 'Fox'. Nina Stush or whatever she's called.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Friday, 27 August 2004 11:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Lady Stush???????

"I Try" is going to sound great as a one-hit-wonder forgotten oldie in ten years. Trust me.

Ten years? It already sounds like that (only without the 'great" part). Just like Dionne Farris, Billie Myers, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 27 August 2004 14:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Steeped a long, mellow decade in deep vats of Lethe, however, and the hatred will be transformed into wondrous draughts of "Oh, yeah, that!" Or not.

― briania (briania), Friday, 27 August 2004 15:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Hating on Dionne Farris is a sign of severe mental instability.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 August 2004 15:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Ahh, I don't hate on Farris. I was just mentioning that she's become a one-hit wonder. "I Know" wasn't bad. I mean, I didn't buy it, but I wouldn't rush to turn it off either. She was much better than Macy "Goggles" Gray.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 27 August 2004 15:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Jesus, I just said "hate on" without being ironic. Someone kill me.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 27 August 2004 15:18 (nineteen years ago) link

ONE OF US! (Completely OTM re Farris vs Gray, though.)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 27 August 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Dionne Farris' bit in "Tennessee" by Arrested Development ("won't you help me...") was the best part of that song (countered by that ridiculouos part about playing horseshooooooooooeeees!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 27 August 2004 15:22 (nineteen years ago) link

four years pass...

I find her inoffensive. That's too bad.

― Kevin Yates, Phys. Ed. (u s steel), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:25 (fourteen years ago) link

I am no fan of R&B, but I did like "I Try".

― Geir Hongro, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:26 (fourteen years ago) link

Can't wait for the late 90s revival. Those poor bastards have Macy Gray, Moby's "Play", Ibiza Trance and Limp Bizkit to look forward to.

― ch4rlie fr4m3, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 09:37 (fourteen years ago) link

This is one of those things that I had an argument with someone about back in 1999 and we never finished it. Or something.

Macy Gray asks fans if she should boycott Israel

Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello, for example, canceled his planned concerts in Israel last summer because of what he called the "grave and complex" sensitivities.

^what an asshole

one of my fav. memories is when i was in a falafel place in soho in ldn and the guy at the counter put on sweet baby and these girls kindof looked at each other and the universe seemed sortof complicit w some private moment of rightness we were all having

― plax (ico), Thursday, 20 January 2011 21:33 (thirteen years ago) link

israel seems like the only type of place where macy gray would have fans in 2011

― iatee, Thursday, 20 January 2011 21:34 (thirteen years ago) link

i'm sure she was the subject of the best observer food monthly discussion ever.

― djh, Thursday, 20 January 2011 23:28 (thirteen years ago) link

five years pass...

Ive just heard I Try in a pub and I thought it was amazing. I remember really liking her in an age when I was not around her as radio 2 fodder and I was just interested as someone who had like gangstarr remixes and erykah badu features; worthy of a reapparisal?

― plums (a hoy hoy), Friday, 3 June 2016 20:15 (seven years ago) link

And here I thought the bump was due to her feature on Ariana Grande's new album.

― MarkoP, Friday, 3 June 2016 20:19 (seven years ago) link

Ive not listened to it yet! I was turned off by that single that was like a gym spin class instructor shouting at you but i know i will still like it

― plums (a hoy hoy), Friday, 3 June 2016 20:35 (seven years ago) link

on how life is is a really good record

bought a best of a few months ago in a sale and quite enjoyed it.

― Stevolende, Thursday, 20 January 2022 13:46 (two years ago) link

i always thought "sweet baby" was nice fluff. weird to hear an erykah badu cameo, but sure why not:
