She really favors Dionne Warwick with some weight in her face.
Guys, I know she looks “bloated”, but I think she has just put on weight. Not that she isn’t a trainwreck, but seriously...
CC Deville once said of his 60 lb weight gain after coming off of drugs that people would rather see a skinny junkie than a fat sober person.
Judging by various comments here and elsewhere, I’d say he was right.
I hope you are right, but the performance was disgusting by all accounts, why would you perform while trying to better yourself and suck at it? I don’t know.. I think she is still in trouble.
i hope this is about her gaining weight because of being clean and sober. I wonder though from the reviews on her performance—which is all I care about. Weight is not even an issue honestly as I agree with CC. Being in recovery myself I understand there are times it is a cookie or coke or a cake or alcohol and thank God and AA it has thus far always turned out to be the food (although there are many other healthier options most of the time.)
No one ever accused Aretha Franklin of being skinny and she’s still going strong.
“people would rather see a skinny junkie than a fat sober person.”

Warped values.
She had such a beautiful voice, charisma and natural beauty. It’s a shame she got so derailed, and it’s a tough road to get back on track.
You are exactly right..In addition, she is, at least, premenopausal, which brings weight gain for a lot of women..Some, also, need the hormones, which make weight hard to lose. It is frustrating that people cannot accept aging in their idols and, of course, the criticism is not the same for aging male idols. The bottom line should have been the quality of her performance..not her looks.
