The hot foxy personal secretary/assistant. She's got three solo albums out and she's great. Right now, she's broadway's leading lady. |

 Okay, tonight (4/28) I saw Audra McDonald in Philly. This was my first time seeing Audra, but it was remararable. If any of you are familiar with American Popular music (ie. Sammy Davis Jr., Sarah Vaughn, Judy Garland, Mae West, Johnny Mathis, Broadway Musicals) you will love Audra. Her voice is timeless. In the concert she sang, Ill Wind You Blow Me No Good, Bill, He Love and She Loves and more. Evry song was breathtaking. When you go to a conert you expect recordings to be as good as or better the the concert. But because audra is the only person in Broadway History to win Three Tony Awards before the age of 28, her songs are better live than recorded. She is truly a master of the living art. My sister and I were in awe at every single song. Every song breathed the sentiment of the heart and told the stories of true emotion. When she sand the song "I Won't Mind" I truly felt she was a lonely woman who longed for the need to have a child. She yearned to love. Not for love but to have a love to love. When Audra sand the very frantic, self deprived, projecting of emotions and self worth, and reifying song of a house wife by Jonathan Larson. You felt her frustration, agony and internal conflict as she quickly sang clever lines as a means of making her self feel pretty, loved and needed to and by her husband. This is a sad state of affairs which many women go through. The song showed the need for a woman's liberation movement. After seeing Audra I see why she is a Broadway diva. And I contend that she is the only diva worth speaking of, because she is the only diva around. For real, I was crying and I don't cry. |
