...extradition and arrest made for gripping programming, it was an absurdly excessive and overly glamorous way to deal with the alleged murderer. When he should have been locked away in the bowels of a nondescript freight plane for his extradition flight, Entwistle was free to walk around his mini-Air Force One unencumbered with so much as handcuffs. I wouldn’t be half surprised if this alleged murderer is feasting on surf and turf and lounging on a plush leather sofa at this very moment. Not to mention Entwistle’s celebrity treatment is an epic waste...

...Brown sounds as though he has already spent time under the covers, but it will be a few years before he can say how it makes him feel with any honesty. Instead he makes like a mini-Usher and sings as if entertainment were the only thing in the world that matters. On the bona fide radio hits--Run It!, Yo (Excuse Me Miss), Gimme That--he has enough discipline to let the hooks do their work, while on the remaining tracks his charm and clean voice rise above a synthesizer that comes on stronger than Colt 45--era Billy...
