Greatest Hits?.......2007-03-27

Don't you have to have more than one hit song to make a Best of album?

I love Macy.......2006-11-03

Macy Gray sings so sweet an pure, yet with an edge and engery that speaks of an active, intense passion. She's great to listen to while driving. It then reminds you of when you played it last night.

the female bob dylan has a best of .....?!?!?!?!?!?.......2006-10-10

this would make a terrific torturing device.and if the POW is deaf,just show him/her the cover !!!!!

One Of The Worse Singers To Ever Get A Record Deal.......2006-08-17

Macy Gray sounds like Donald Duck with a hangover. Her voice is awful. I don't even know who's worse: Macy or Shakira. Macy needs to stop singing and stick to playing crazy woman roles on TV.

A Collection for Fans.......2006-01-18

Macy Gray's cartoon sexy voice has both its detractors and its fans. I happen to be one of those fans, as her vocals cannot be mistaken for anyone else even though at times she sounds like one of the blues queens of the jazz age. The biggest drawback of this CD is that Gray does not have the body of work yet to put together a first-rate "best of" album, let alone a "very best" one.

"When I See You" is one of my favorite songs because of the perfect balance between Gray's voice and the instruments. "Boo" showcases Gray's unusual voice more because of its low-profile instrumentals and plaintive lyrics. "Love is Gonna Get You" is perhaps Gray's best known song, although her voice sounds even more funky here than on the other tracks. The two versions of "Sexual Revolution" are worth duplicating, as the first starts out slow then builds into an exuberant, catchy, upbeat track while the radio version starts right with the chorus. Why Gray included the two "versions" of "I've Committed Murder" is less clear as Mos Def's rap makes the song completely unrecognizable; neither of the two is memorable enough to be included.

This CD is a good introduction to Macy Gray, and fans of her music will appreciate the compilation even if it is uneven. Those who dislike her distinctive sound are not likely to be won over even by a "best of" album. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann
