I like the fact that she is trying to comeback with a whole new look. I never liked the ragga muffin look on her. It made her look….manish. Hope her songs are good. I personally like smooth soulful and not raspy music.

Yeah, she definitely upgraded!! I haven’t seen her since her role in “Training Day”. Didn’t see “Idlewild”.

I like these pictures…even though the wig in the second pic looks like it came from Nippy’s personal collection.
Still, I’m going to say upgrade. I briefly knew Macy Gray back in the day before she got big (She was in a three girl R&B group that ended up going nowhere with a cousin of mine: I went into the studio with them a few times), and this is actually closer to the look she rocked when I knew her…though that was in 1997-ish. I wonder if she’s going to start using the vocal style she had back then, too.

I hate this stringy mess on Macy.
As wild as her carefree, bushy look was, it suited her personality better.
Macy please don’t sell out trying to please ppl!

WOWWWWWW! what did she do???? best of luck to her. she was always unique.

hmmm

I’m disappointed by the comments here. Yes, she looks nice. But a sistah can rock Natural/kinky/curly hair, look feminine and beautiful. jill scott, cree summmer, angie stone, erykah badu, etc., (all flavors) are great examples of this.
I wish her well with her career though.

Hmmm, I’ve gotta say that her new cd looks like it has a great selection of artists… The only thing that would make it sound even better is if she wasn’t on it!!! I will say that she looks much better than she did before…

Macy Grey looks really good, she probably was always pretty it’s just her style at the time, now she’s changing it! She has a different kind of Voice. Macy was really good in Idle Wild and in the movie Traning Day w/Denzel Washington her acting is really good i was supprised! Go girl!
Hey can anyone tell me why Idle Wild is not getting the reconition, like every other movie (Dreamgirls etc.) i thought it was pretty good!!!!

I don’t think this is Macy’s choice in her look. Macy is gay, and not a fem…and the record company is trying to fem her up, no?
She should Butch out and be real, no?
This look says to me she’s bowing down, being what she is not, listening to others instead of herself.
Girl, be proud, be you.

Lo

I loved her first album, second was ok, I hope this one doesn’t disappoint! I appreciate her weirdness

Justin Timberlake? Fergie? GOTTTDAYUMM! She better not start doing the “WALK IT OUT” in her videos. But she already collabo’ed with BEP pre-Fergie so she has a friendship with Will.I.Am, I shouldn’t be surprised.
She looks good. Her old style used to be THE BOMB though, but people change constantly, that’s what life is about, new image new style and I bet new state of mind. I never liked her voice so i’m not anticipating the album.

I’ve always liked Macy Gray…her voice, her quirkiness, she’s just herself in a jerky kinda way. She had me crackin’ up in Idlewild! Fantasia’s voice reminds me of Macy’s.

I’ve always liked Macy Gray with her quirky style and voice. She had me crackin’ up in Idlewild - she was kickin’ the hell out of that call box! I’d like to see her in more films, I look forward to her new music, and I’m likin’ her new style.
She and Fantasia talk alike…same pitch and everything.

WOW she looks all glamored up. Love the silky bronze/gold trench, the heels,the earrings, the make-up, & of course the at-ti-tude. It’s nice to change up your style sometimes. As for the hair…gotta say my preference is her natural afro. Its more commanding & its sexy as hell, to me anyway, but hey rock it how u like it!

I don’t see her doing work with Epic, as they really don’t seem to market Black artists well.
