She can only do a certain genre. Very Jazzy.
I wish she had a higher range but she makes up for it with her crazy melismatic ability. I have been continously amazed by the things she can do vocally.

Just doesn't have the songs or catalog to be recognized for the beast she is. She could more than likely sing a majority of the list under a rock with her skill and precise ear for scales and melodies. I adore her as a vocalist. I see her as an 8 at the lowest and you could argue a 9.5.
She's kinda like a female Wanya Morris. Also I think she's written hits for other artists. Shouldn't that count for something?

Ok, i gave her an 8 because she is sort the standard good singer voice i think when somebody tells me someone can sing. at least with black woman.
If you have an auntie and you tell me she can sing, i imagine she will sound like this. If she doesn't i'm either disappointed or asking why she don't have an agent.

The type you find killing it in your church choir. but not something i expect to make her famous unless she has a full package to go along with it, like looks, charisma, etc. There might be other people i give an 8 that can't sing as well as her for that reason.

Them runs.... listen to her on Round Midnight and come back and tell me she ain't a 10 :wow:




This was my 1st time hearing of her. I think it was back in 07. I saw her sing Round Midnight live and some show. I was absolutely blown away. That was back when she was just getting her buzz. I remember she wrote Prototype for Andre 3000. She even has a prerecorded version of it floating around youtube somewhere. I love that song.

Right. I had the same thought when I found out most of Luther's hits were originally sang by white people. Same with Maxwell's "This Womans Worth". Shyt was sang by a white woman. Blows my mind. Even Tanks I Can't Make You Love Me is a white womans song 1st.

I’ve said it before and stand by it. She’s one of the best singers over the last twenty five years.
