She's definitely had work done on her face and was using a lot of makeup to cover wrinkles, but she still looked real to me. And as far as her stage performance, she was in top form--just more reserved at the mic in between numbers than she might have been during the cocaine years.
I was simply pointing out the logic flaws in the reviewer's writing by further extrapolating his criticism to the other members.

Besides, it's not surprising he devoted so much time to ridiculing Stevie's appearance. Typical of a lot of middle-aged men - viewing women like sex objects, or puppets with boobs. He probably didn't understand what was so great about Silver Springs because Stevie was "fat," but was probably masturbating to Britney Spears videos a couple years later because she was "hot."
