(1,456 posts)and she has an excellent voice.
More importantly, she has that charisma that makes her a performer.
As an old teacher of mine used to say, it's about a quarter talent and about 3 quarters ego. Of course, he was paraphrasing others.
I agree in that I would like to see more musicality involved. Unfortunately, it's more about performance than musicality.
That being said, I think that only a person that was tone-deaf would deny that she is a good singer.
Granted, I have heard better - but there are few who have the unique mix of talents that she has which propelled her to the point where she is today.
Granted, a lot of it is "who you know" but as another teacher once pointed out - when you're in that position you have to listen to the people you know you can trust.
