...defendant's bellyaching, this time, would not get him off. The attorneys for Hutomo Mandala Putra (known as Tommy Suharto) insisted their client's stomach cramps and headache had kept him in his comfortable, air-conditioned cell?outfitted with a television and a stereo system?and away from the Jakarta courtroom where a five-judge panel was set to rule on whether their defendant was guilty of arranging the murder of a judge, fleeing from justice for 12 months, and possessing illegal rifles, handguns, grenades and explosives.

It's not uninteresting to listen to a star--a woman who was both audacious and vulnerable on Miseducation but always in control--lose it. When she cries out in that rangy, beautiful voice, you can't help feeling for her. But, ultimately, Unplugged's thrills are only voyeuristic. Hill seems to know this; she's so unsure about whether these songs will be meaningful to a broader audience that she sets up almost every one of them with...
