Guardian journalist Caroline Sullivan also saw McManus's vocals as lacking the "wow" factor, which, she said, "could have enlivened some of these sub-Celine Dion torchers." An entertainment.

Webb's career as a singer-songwriter got off to a rough start with the "counterfeit" album Jim Webb Sings Jim Webb, released by Epic Records in 1968. According to Webb, the album was produced "by a bunch of ruffians from some old demos of mine and tarted up to sound like 'MacArthur Park'". Beginning in 1970, Webb released six original albums of his own songs: Words and Music (1970), And So: On (1971), Letters (1972), Land's End (1974), El Mirage (1977), and Angel Heart (1982). Despite the critical reception that followed each of these projects, Webb has never been as successful as a performer as he has been as a songwriter and arranger.

Jaguar X-Type Launched in summer 2001, the Jaguar X-Type, designed to compete with compact luxury cars such as the Mercedes-Benz C-class, was a commercial failure that has earned derision for being based on the floorpan of the more downmarket Ford Mondeo. Named one of the 50 worst cars of all time by Time magazine, Dan Neil wrote of it, "In its attempt to turn [the Mondeo] into an “all-wheel drive” sports sedan, Jaguar ran smack into the limits of platform engineering. The result was the English version of the Cadillac Cimarron, a tarted-up insult to a once-proud marque and a financial disaster for the company." The New York Times dubbed the X-Type "The Worst Car of the Decade".

CFNY's morning show instability during the 1987-1989 period reflected the station's management and ownership turmoil that began after longtime program director David Marsden was moved to the director of operations position in 1987. Taking over the PD post was his longtime deputy and on-air personality Don Berns who continued the "Spirit of Radio" concept that Marsden himself largely created and fostered over the years. However, the station's corporate parent, Selkirk Communications (itself going through the process of being sold to the Maclean-Hunter media conglomerate), wasn't happy with the way things are at CFNY, letting Marsden go during 1988 followed by ordering a format change to Top 40 hits late in the year and installing general sales manager Jim Fonger to oversee the switch by promoting him to Marsden's post. The switch resulted in a tarted up playlist that suddenly included acts and tracks like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, Janet Jackson, George Michael's "Monkey", etc.
