Recent results from spectroscopic studies of Magellanic Cloud stars are discussed. Emphasis is placed on how to interpret CNO abundances to examine stellar evolution scenarios. Observed CNO abundances are best explained by the new rotating stellar evolution models (see Langer & Heger, these proceedings). In addition, the Rolleston et al. (these proceedings) abundances for B stars in the Magellanic Bridge are discussed.
