WORST TOP 5!
2. ROCKFERRY by Duffy
While the Welsh song*stress is blessed with a lovely voice, there are no lights on in this (Wine)house. Amy's break*through album felt grubby and honest and true, but Duffy's seems strangely blank; she comes off like a pretty doll propped up by opportunistic industry shills — shills too rushed to craft songs worthy of her vocal talents.

While I agree with a lot of this, EW (or, more to the point, Ms. Greenblatt) is DEAD ON with her criticism of Duffy/
Rockferry. It's the most cynical release of the year, wholly unmotivated by anything but a quick buck. It's disgraceful, and in a year where Katy Perry clawed her way into radio programmers ears with her she-male whooping cough and her truly reprehensible sexual politics, that says a lot. SHAME ON DUFFY.
