Sweet. C.C. just got a little email from Ms. Azuri herself, who has allowed us to publish her comments, as follows:

dear counter critic,

thank you for including me in your review of the Performa07 Grand Finale.
i will give consideration to your quote that my performance was “overwrought and hyper emotive” . however, on the flip side, i think that is my intention- for me and the audience to have a cathartic experience of sorts (even while drinking fennel and twig tea : ).

at any rate, thanks again. and thanks for calling my “big alto voice hot”. continued success to you and blessings and light to your path!
imani uzuri

Holy crap! It’s scary when people actually read this site. But Ms. Uzuri is a total pro and a great sport, and she even shamed me cuz I didn’t know the Nina Simone song from which come the aforementioned cryptic lyrics. Guess C.C. had a little too much dust inside her brain…

concur on all points (maybe not so much uzuri hotness. . . adding iridescent spandex does not an avant-garde starlet make. . .)
