Macy Gray asks Facebook fans: Should I boycott Israel?
Pop star Macy Gray wrote on her official Facebook page on Wednesday that she was deliberating whether or not she should perform in February in Israel, as she had received dozens of letters urging her to boycott the country.

"I'm getting a lot of letters from activists urging/begging me to boycott by NOT performing in protest of Apartheid against the Palestinians," Macy Gray wrote on her Wall.

"What the Israeli government is doing to the Palestinians is disgusting, but I wana go. I gotta lotta fans there I dont want to cancel on and I ...don't know how my NOT going changes anything. What do you think? Stay or go?" she asked her fans.

1. This subject disgusts me
Who in the world would describe Macy Gray as a pop star?

A flash-in-the-pan one-hit-wonder perhaps, but pop star? Have we abandoned all sense of reality?

2. I ask Macy Gray:
Why does your voice sound like a cat that's being strangled?

3. You'd be doing Israel a favor.
Nobody wants to hear your nasty-ass caterwauling.
