It also reached No. 6 on the US Billboard Top 200 chart and produced five singles, including the international hit "If It Makes You Happy". The album received very positive reviews from critics, who praised its intricate production and Crow's louder and more assured singing. At the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, the album was awarded Best Rock Album and Crow received the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance award for "If It Makes You Happy". Retrospectively, it is often regarded as Crow's best album." From Wikipedia. I think she's great, and I don't really care for the sniping about her personal life either. As with all of these things, the truth is more complex than the bits that get reported. As has been said already there are far, far worse people out there who have had a great deal of success on the back of other peoples talent or have a lot of talent and success but are renowned for being extremely unpleasant. She's a talented musician and songwriter who has had a great deal of success in her own right. And she's a pretty good bass player too. Oh, I nearly forgot: IMHO. 2 Quote
Hellzero Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 The new Bach, or Mozart, or Beethoven, or Chopin, or... Come on, she is only a "rock" star, nothing more with all the over developed ego going with it. And this is valid for any "radio" star being it a man, woman or X as we say no. And what about the really talented Susan Boyle, same age, but not the same face. Strangely she had to struggle if not fight to get a bit of recognition... Quote

Exactly the point of the post: that phrase was a reference to an earlier comment from someone else - read a couple of pages back and you’ll see that @yorks5stringer was actually rebuffing another poster for using that phrase. I believe this post is more meant along the lines of “how on earth can you accuse her of being a ‘gold digging tart’ after reading this article?”. 4 Quote
