...call the vocalist a singularly talented virtuoso still cannot completely capture the music that swirls once he takes the stage, but it’s pretty close. You could boil Bobby McFerrin down to trivia: collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. Or cite numbers: a Billboard number one single, ten grammys, twenty million copies and seemingly infinite praise or genres: jazz, pop, classical, gospel. But even the sum total of these elements could not hope to sum up the anticipation or the result that was his performance at Sanders Theater...

Marie reconstructs the image from what appear to be a series of strobe flashes, an experience that's a bit like watching a miniature stadium billboard, on which images are also compiled from groups of individual flashing lights...
...this argument. With her sophisticated and distinct Songs in A Minor, Alicia Keys materialized unexpectedly to release one of last year’s most successful albums. No Lolita-inspired appearance on MTV was called for; the music sold itself. A brief look at the rest of the Billboard 200 proves the point; whether it’s country, hip hop, rap or rock, the music inevitably transcends, or betrays, whatever image the artist is trying to present. After more than a year on the chart, the bluegrass/country/gospel soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou? is hovering just below...
