I said this to a friend the other night and she agreed so vehemently her eyes almost popped out of her head from nodding so hard.
“The woman is talented,” I brilliantly offered, as my pal started nodding in agreement.
“I mean, girl can really sing,” I went on, oozily. “And she can dance. And there’s no doubt she can do it all live when they’ll allow her to.”
My friend had turned into a car Buddha by now, nodding like a lunatic.

“She’s just an all-around winner–beautiful, gifted, and full of energy and ambition,” I enthused as my friend continued the up-down motions of her head as if she were an alarm clock bell.
“But there’s just one thing,” I added.
“What’s that?” she asked, her head stationary for a second.
“She leaves me cold.”
Pause.
“And she’ll never be Diana Ross“.
