So, what she writes a few words and someone will connect with the article she wrote and go "Oh I don't think I'll get that CD because Ms. Joanna says it shrieked." Meanwhile, maybe journalism reviews isn't this chick's bag and moves on to file clerk somewhere. No harm done to Ms. Joanna but possibly major problems for the artist she wrote about halfheartedly.
I'm all about learning a new craft, but a little training would be nice.

Exactly.
The article should have never been published. Its like when Patrick Swayze was sick with Cancer, tabloids were reporting negativity when he was trying and succeeding at fighting his personal battle. Articles like this suck the positive energy out of something that is good....by saying very little but maintaining an obviously negative air about the subject of the article.
Its ridiculous and I am glad that I am not the only one that feels that her article deserves a discussion and a fair dispute. Hopefully when random people read this article they will also read the comments and it will cause them to think.
