I think she's a fine singer with a lovely voice that has an interesting timbre and she's a very intelligent actress. There have been times when I've felt she has oversung certain material, if that's clear. But I could say the same about Judy Kaye, whom I love I admire McDonald's work. I particularly liked her in A Raisin in the Sun. I'm not blown away by her as some people are. I wonder if some people are put off a bit because other people love her so much. I think sometimes people look at someone who usually gets such tremendous praise and they think, "Well, she's not that good." She's a strong, talented and accomplished performer. She's not the second coming, she's not right for everything, but she usually does good work. Of course, you have every right to not like her work. No performer is going to be liked by everyone.
