macy gray sh*t show

Macy Gray’s performance in Canggu, Bali was apparently so bad on Saturday night that the venue, Finns Beach Club, has publicly announced it will be refunding the cost of general admission tickets.

Concert-goers went in expecting the legendary raspy stylings of the singer who put out the hit single “I try” years ago (c. 1999), but instead got one very poorly executed “Happy Birthday” song and a playlist off a laptop, along with other incoherent and incomplete ditties. To make matter worse, it all happened hours later than the published start time of 4pm, so the crowd already seemed irritable from having to spend so much time waiting around (and money for food and drinks in the mean time).

e poster for the American singer’s show at Finns advertised “featured special guest DJ” and “live songs” from the Grammy award-winner, so naturally most people went in thinking Gray would be singing. The show sure sounded like it would be a great one (we even included it on our weekend event’s guide), but the singer’s time on stage in Bali seems to go on and demonstrate that her best days as a performer are behind her.
