Eisa Davis' portrayal of Deena Jones beautifully complements Toomer's incredible vocal performance. While Effie's version of "One Night Only" resonates with the earnestness and humility of a singer trying to make it big, Deena brings the confidence of a veritable Madonna to her pop-dance version of the song. This confidence stands out in contrast not only to Effie's song, but also to Deena's own singing at the start of her career...

Over time Domingo's voice has become darker and richer, his style more fluent...

None of those who are taking Reed's wild stories seriously seem to have asked why Clinton, a vocal critic of U.S. aid to the contras who even then was considering running for President, would have done risky favors for the Reagan Administration. But then again, answering that question would spoil...
