Macy Gray: McServer

The R&B singer might not agree with her place on this list, as she appeared in a 2005 television commercial for the fast-food giant, saying, "The action, the fun, the people, the sense of accomplishment ... it truly was my first big break!" (Other divas who worked under the golden arches: Pink, Faith Hill and Shania Twain.)

-to the diane beast
wow CAPS LOCKS ARE ON!
THATS SO AMAZING!
there are WORSE things people could be doing, such as elephant fecal cleaning. but you know that such a dirty job has such a great pay. no one cares what you think. stop trying to sound all high and mighty and feel good, you do NOT deserve it. oh hey look i used caps too! if i were an employer i would be honored to have your unemployed low self esteemed self come to my place of work with an application, so i could at first hand see why know one wants to hire you. know why? because you are an ugly skank who bitches.
-to ZZTK
thoe jobs are considered worst for a reason, for the amount of time and work you put into those, they get the least back in return. and god should not help them, he already has as where you need severe help. i assume both mentaly and physicaly.
and please forgive me if i cannot disctintivley tell the difference between the "real world" and the fake world these musicans live in. well what makes you so real? the fact that you take the time to taunt sucessfull people behind their backs, while if you ever met any of them in person we both know you would ask for an autograph for at least two of your five hectic mistaken kids. my god have mercy on your soul.
-general chs out.

Um, honestly, this thing is pointless.
Who cares if people had a crappy job before they were famous? As long as they're making money and happy.. it shouldn't matter.

Actually, all I needed is to see the list without all the bio bulls**t. And if some of these jobs that these people had were considered "worst", thank God they made it, because they would never have made it in the real world.

I SAT AND TALKED TO THIS WOMAN AT A BUS STOP IN AKRON OHIO YEARS AGO. HER NAME WAS NOT MACY THOUGH, BUT I'M POSITIVE IT WAS HER. I REMEMBER HER TELLING ME "IN EVERY LIFE THERE IS A MOMENT OF GREATNESS, BUT WE DO NOT SEE IT UNTIL IT IS GONE". THIS HAS STUCK WITH ME MY WHOLE LIFE. VERY TALL WOMAN. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO HER.

Macy Gray is a sloppy, high arsed, drunk! Well, she was when I saw her in the New Orleans airport! (Actually, we were behind her as we were getting off of the same plane.) My mother, aunt, me and my niece were laughing so hard that we almost peed on ourselves!!! We didn't even realize that it was her until some younger boys recognized her and we heard, Macy, telling the young boys that, 'No, I'm too tiiiiyeerrrrd to gib you an adagraph!' -That's how she sounded!- I swear she looked like she had mugged Rudy from Fat Albert's gang and she was wearing his clothes. She even had the gigantic hat! We saw her the next night at a festical and she was so messed up on stage that she almost fell into the crowd.
