Stephen Holden called Deb's attempt at lounge lizardry the "professional equivalent of a very shaky audition" saying "nothing could camouflage Ms. Harry’s vocal difficulties. She was so consistently off-pitch that the songs nearly disappeared under her struggle to sing the notes"
Ouch. In her defense, singing live has never been her strong suit! Read HERE.

Considering Carlyle prices I wonder if the audience got a refund or discount. A free strong drink maybe?
She is, as usual, amazing. Nuff said.
Idk, The News gave her a nice review-

Maybe Holden wants Debs from 35 years ago? She looks great!
I saw the videos on You Tube of the concerts at the Carlyle and I think Debbie is a charming and talented entertainer as much as always with a sense of proportion without overdoing it.the rest is just talk without value.
it is sad that a critic of the New York Times, feels allowed to belittle the talent of this artist, America has often snubbed who is the real creator of the "Blondie sound", a kind of music that have inspired many stars and starlets, many of them using the playback, not Debbie Harry, in the past she has sung with the Jazz Passengers and other jazz musicians, she has her own style, her own charm, but she's criticized by this gentleman if "she try to find the right note", maybe he prefers the lip-synching ...
