Ella Fitzgerald, thought I love her, had NO grasp of emotional interpretation. Sounding like you just won the lottery when you're singing about lost love simply won't do for me. Obviously you are superficially concerned only with "pretty" sounds and fail to realize the impact of interpretive genius.

The voice, eyes, mouth of greatness. Great miss Holiday!

Wow, continued hostility from you? Ever considered anger management, seeing as how we're putting on our shrink hats now? As for my therapy, that consists of a daily intake of coffee and cigs.

Try cognitive behavioral therapy, combined with meditation with mantra. Over a period of six months, you should start feeling better...

Amateur comment. Without merit.

In order to stomp on B. Holiday CDs, that means I'd actually have to buy some of them, and hell would freeze over before I did that. The only way I could accomplish this is by going to someone else's home and stomping on their B. Holiday CDs while they're in the kitchen getting me a drink.

You got me. I'm infatuated with your incisiveness and uniqueness. Alas, we are strangers in the night, exchanging digital quips, rather than backslappers enjoying each others' presences whilst stomping on Billie Holiday vinyl and CDs with steel-toe boots.

Right. Which means you were looking for approval online. Seek it elsewhere, like within.

Also, don't kid yourself... I wasn't looking for anyone's approval. I was simply speaking my mind about the late, nasally-congested B. Holiday.

Obviously, you do care, as you replied to my comment. Really, it'd be nice if you simply made up your mind.
