Finally, in Detroit, the buzz on the street was that Ross was already being hyped so much there was kind of a backlash against her as she was primed for her solo career.
The other thing about it that I just realized is that, at least in my opinion, Ross really doesn't look good with an Afro. I mean, she's a stunning woman, but to me the Afro just doesn't suit her. The only other time I can recall her wearing such a hair style was in "The Wiz" and I don't think it suited her any better then. I'm no expert on such things, maybe that's what would be considered a "modified" Afro, or maybe I'm just used to seeing her with big, big hair, but I don't think that's really her style.
