BS”D
Striving, we are allowed to point out that a product may not be what you are looking for, no matter who makes it. If I say Golden Square CY ice cream is too sweet, there is no aveirah. The problem comes when someone makes negative remarks that have more to do with the producer than the product, where the issue is one of personal taste and not objective.
Postsem – while MBD goes out of his way to preserve his health and physical strength (ad 120 and far beyond), keep in mind Lipa performed far more sets and was already performing for a while when MBD came on stage :).
I’m holding off on the album because I prefer a disc to a download and may travel soon, but what I heard on the online radio makes it clear that MBD is really back in full force. The album is more than worthwhile – it is another Pray and Sing where even the filler is good – and he should be zoiche to sing at the shofar concert that precedes the arrival of the real MBD – Moshiach ben David!
