31. good for her. it's easy to follow; 'takes character to think
dante ,   uk   (01.21.11)
it takes character to think and to do something that the crowd do not like. good for her.
32. #1, I am sure she is in tears...
Danny   (01.21.11)
33. Why cant she do what she wants to do?
rebecca ,   Modiin   (01.21.11)
Why is everyone telling her to go or not to go? She's been here before. She knows the score. Let her decide.
34. @33 "She knows the score" that's exactly the point!
er der   (01.21.11)
It appears that she doesn't (.."What do you think? Stay or go?" she asked her fans...), and hence requested that people to tell her. You should read the whole article.
35. You go girl!
Lima bravo ,   Norway   (01.21.11)
Going out to buy all her records.
36. 1.Paul adelaide= Mel Gibson
Jack ,   London   (01.21.11)
Or U must be related,and still cant play cricket either!
37. "ASSHOLES"
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.21.11)
Might be better if she had said ANAL CHARACTERS instead..
38. Be careful Macy !!!
Tammi   (01.21.11)
The "peaceful" Muslims can try to harm you, just like they did the French Minister. They hate women, in general, treat Christians horribly (see Egypt, for example) and are just crazy violent fanatics in general!
39. Ok Macy
Sam ,   Houston   (01.21.11)
In the trash they go Macy. You and many others have no idea what you are talking about concerning Israel and the who middle east.
40. SMART MOVE MACY
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (01.21.11)
The bottom line is most people didn't hear about her concert in Israel or have not heard about her in a long time. Now she is on just about every news wire world wide. Now she got some free marketing at the expense of the State of Israel. If she didn't say anything on her facebook page no one would of known about people asking her to boycott Israel. I hope she cashes in.
41. Oppression
George ,   Texas, United States   (01.21.11)
So by performing in israel she basically does support oppression..... so she is not only an idiot but a liar as well. Good job Macy Gray, too bad you haven't released anything worth listening to in a decade or i might be a little more upset.....
42. Gray spread anti-Israel propaganda w/ her stunt
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (01.21.11)
Yesterday Gray said, "What the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinians is disgusting" and now the story is all over the Internet (500K results on Google), with many thousands of new anti-Israel articles and talkbacks published. How many people who knew nothing about Israel now have an unfavorable opinion of Israel because of her? How many, after reading the lies about Israel, decided to join the boycott movement or the jihad? So today, after the backlash, she calls Israel boycotters "a-holes." Well, it's too late for Gray to undo the damage she has done with her anti-Israel statement and her invitation to anti-Semites to voice their hatred towards Israel on her Facebook page and all over the Web.
43. #1
ester ,   assssstralia   (01.22.11)
Paul, you are from Adelaide, the land of the ferals and retarded. Considered the most hillibillies in the country, where you are killed fro your social security checks and put in a drum on the old bank vault. You hate anything black, special Aborigines....You may like to listen to her, but she is just to black for you.....
44. Let's all go to her concerts
Daniela   (01.22.11)
45. macy gray
miri ,   miami usa   (01.22.11)
to number 42/sue: U R SO RIGHT. I AGREE ONE HUNDRED PE CENT!!!!
46. She tried to say goodbye and she choked
Shahar ,   Israel   (01.22.11)
Tried to walk away and she stumbled... If she would have come or not, it wouldn't stop the Arab extremists from trying to kill us all. I hope she also does a show in Ramallah and spread some love out there too. She would need to make sure that there is very good security out there, like we unfortunately have to have here.
47. Thanks Macy, you've got b@lls
Mel ,   Miami   (01.22.11)
48. she likes contraversy, but she already made up her mind
ghostq   (01.23.11)
she is bored out of her mind. I don't know if in this case to be happy with someone who enjoy other people misery.
49. #41 - I assume she doesn't support oppression
William ,   Israel   (01.23.11)
Which is why she's performing in Tel Aviv rather than in Ramallah. I guess she's actually heard about the violence against women, Christians, and civilians that emanate from the "Palestinians" who seem to be pretty good at oppressing themselves, especially when offered peace. She's a smart girl and seems to get the situation better than douches like you. By the way, how do I know you're a Leftist douche? Because they often try to hide behind names and titles of others - like you did with "George (Bush) from Texas".
50. yes, on playing sun city.
(01.31.11)
apartheid rules when it benefits you, way to go macy!
51. A noble band
Simon ,   Rishon Lezion, IL   (02.01.11)
In the list of performers who play in Israel, you forgot to mention Jethro Tull. This great band have played in Israel many times since at least 1992 (I believe). Jethro Tull deserve credit for putting there fans here above political posturing.
52. #.42 #45 - I Agree,- STUPID DAMAGE DONE by Macy to Israel
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (02.02.11)
The stupid and unnecessary damage by Macy's ......... " anti-Israel statement and her invitation to anti-Semites to voice their hatred towards Israel on her Facebook page and all over the Web." She MUST make some SERIOUS APOLOGIES and some MEANINGFUL STATEMENT or ACTIONS.
53. #50 .SUN City is apartheid - ISRAEL IS THE ONLY DEMOCRACY
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (02.02.11)
China aparthied against dissentors and Falangong, Egypt racism and violence against Christian Copts, Somalia hatred,Yemen, Suadi Arabia no synagogues allowed and hatred towards Jews and Christians, Iran racism against Bahais and various other different Muslim Groups. No synagogues in Jordan, Kuwait and most Muslim countries. ISRAEL is the only democracy in the Mid-East region.
