The latter. Ive got her first album and gave it a spin in the car today. Also watched a few vids on youtube as well. Wondered if I was missing something. Im watching her duet with Mavis Staples at the moment. I can see the attraction but its not for me.You dont believe that she has been invited to sing with Black legends or you dont "feel" her when she sings?Ive been giving this some thought so i could explain to you why you are wrong.I'm not the only Black person that thinks she is a great singer. The older Black generation says the same thing. She has been invited to sing with some of the greatest Black legends of all time.I think you over praise her. She isnt that great a singer in my humble opinion.I have to admit she is a credit to the white race. In fact she is a credit to the human race.Would you call her 'a credit to her race'?
The best I can come up with is that I just dont believe her. She was 17 when she made her first album and I dont think that she had enough life experience to carry it off. Maybe she would fare better today having been through a bit.
