It seems like something happened to her, she has this new “look” that I can’t figure out. What is different about her, some kind of plastic surgery? Does anyone else notice what I am talking about? ---

She got her teeth fixed ? Just a WAG. ---

Maybe she’s working out more. I must say she looks pretty fit. Possibly hired a new makeup artist? Has a personal trainer? She’s always been attractive, but she looks really hot now. It’s funny a lot of other people on other message boards have been posting this also. ---

I can’t figure out why she hasn’t become the big sex symbol many other female musicians have. ---

Well, “Soak Up The Sun” certainly has _me_ in lust. Not bad at all for a fourty year old, or even for a twenty year old. Maybe we’ll see fewer teeny-boppers on the tube…? ---

I can’t find any good before and after pics, Her new video “soak up the sun” or something like that is on all the time, seeing it was what perplexed me. I want to say a face lift or something but why? She never needed one. As to why she’s not a sex symbol, probaly because her look is too unique, I’m not very attracted to her and alot of guys probaly feel the same(too skinny for me) I remember a couple years ago the same thing happened with Mariah Carey. She was always pretty hot and had a nice body, but then all of a sudden WHOOM!!! Her breasts grew about 10 sizes, and nobody seemed to notice. I never heard anything about plastic surgery and I thought I was going insane. This particular metamorphis was made clear to me when she was in that video with the guy from sliders, Jerry O’Connel, and she fought herself in the bathroom ---

I recall from reading a few recent interviews that she’s recently cut way, way back on the booze, if not given it up completely. She’s had a few hard-drinking years in there. And she is freakin’ hot. I’ve always thought so. ---

I think it’s a combo of major weight loss and a dramatic hair color & style makeover. I saw a behind the music about her the other night - she’s led a pretty sad life. Just an out-there guess, but the weight loss could be borderline eating disorder. She’s very very skinny. The hairstyle is about 20 shades lighter & longer too - which really emphasizes her tiny bod. She seems like a very unhappy person, who is 110% devoted to her work (ie music). At least in the VH1 version of her bio. ---

I was also struck by her appearance in the latest video. I might vote for botox as it paralyzes facial muscles. She has had a very “artistic” (excuse me) sort of life, full of irony and tragedy and she is very talented. Did you see her on “Musicians”? Very good. I’ve also always thought she was babealicious. I think her love life has been disappointing. She seems very genuine and a little fragile. I think I love her! ---

[Here](http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/crow_sheryl/audvid.jhtml) you can see clips of all her videos, including the new one. I think she’s had everything mentioned in the previous post. But mostly she looks like she took a nice relaxing vacation.
