She’s talented, and I really like her new song, but I wouldn’t buy her cd because she’s got the kind of voice that would just get annoying after awhile.

Bit of interesting news about Macy Gray, (I love the cd - she has a very unique voice) her record label essentially fired her. Dropped her contract. Two weeks later she got nominated for a grammy for “Best New Artist” - someone screwed up there eh ? I am not saying she is the next coming of Prince or anything, but I do believe the girl has talent.
