It's like her cds don't come close to doing her justice. Plus, she was so entertaining! She's such a performer and she looked stunning. She looked like an angel in her white gown and there was something about being there, listening to her sing, with people I love, during my first week at new job, after those cds helped me through so much, that just felt right.
