Talent will always be there, but I have to say that approx. 15 yrs ago I saw her in concert at Westbury in Long Island, NY. It was truly dull. Bad night perhaps.

Her voice still amazingly beautiful. Her commitment, I can only assume is the same, though we all change over the years.

An interview some 15 yrs ago in the NY Times was a dissappointment to me. In it she said something to the effect that she really is a Saks 5th Ave. type of person.

Oh that our idols would always stay our idols.
