  • LD awesome, but this was too long. Same cd have been achieved and more powerfully, in one or two minutes. Perhaps just the NYer sketch.

  • This is cute. She’s very one-note, but I’m not bored of the schtick just yet. I think the main problem she may run into in her career is that people are always going to look for reasons to hate her. Why? Because she’s young? Because her style is at the expense of substance? I think it’s because she’s doing cute, and people are uneasy about cute. They’d rather have funny or serious.
