...champagne bottles by the square yard and pushing your way between velvet shoulders and clustered TV cameras just to see other people ogling Man of the Year Sean Connery.

...radio airwaves makes her performance particularly refreshing. Everett Gibson, a Boston University junior with more muscles in his face than most people have in their entire body, delivers a sweaty, torrid show which also rekindles the Motown energy of the '60s. Sweet nostalgic moments come when Gibson assumes a falsetto and does two preteen Michael Jackson tunes which are at once hilarious and dazzling...
