Despite Cast, ‘Sing’ Fails to Strike a Chord
Submitted by JonHC on December 22, 2016 - 11:14pmRating: 1.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Singing is something that everyone can do. I tend to do it while in the shower or sitting in traffic. I’ve been told I have the singing voice of an angel… of death.

Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on May 30, 2008 - 12:14amCHICAGO – To its voracious universe of cult-following fans, it feels like a television marathon that spans an entire season. To everyone else who bats an indifferent eye at the religion that is “Sex and the City,” it may surprise you to find that all the glam and glitz has something even for you to learn, too.
