What bugs me about her is her sense of entitlement for minimal participation with the group and this whole nonsense about the FLOS "keeping the legacy alive." That group just butchers every Supremes song with those dreadful arrangements. Her stage moves are way too sassy and she just seems really fake to me. Granted, Florence was sassy, but it was more comical [[a la Pearl Bailey). It was light-hearted and funny. Lynda's sassiness is largely phony and undeserved [[like in that horrible DIVAS 2000 show). I was also not happy with her participation in the Return to Love show, along with Scherrie, taking Mary and Cindy's rightful places in the group.
