Why do people think she's a good singer? Her voice sounds like Donald Duck, fer Chrisssake! Hell, Bob Dylan's got a better singing voice than she does!

1. Her voice is perfect for her big hit song I Try
Because the song is full of emotion and her voice is quirky enough to pull it off. Imagine how bland that song would have been if done by one of the generic little pop singers that are currently in fashion.

5. I Try is one of my favorite songs
of all time! I love her voice. It's unique & there's emotion behind it.

There are too many of those nails on the blackboard pop "star" screechies.

3. You have no soul!
I love "I Try". Sometimes it is just about a song making you feel something.

Here's a good one to crank up in the car...I'll Be Your Shelter/Taylor Dayne http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMVrONytD8k

4. I've never cared for her
I also remember when she used to talk about getting high all the time and then got pissed off when the music press labeled her a "stoner."

I used to do the Website for a local music store. They gave me a copy of her first CD to review. I gave it back to them and said "This sounds like Al Green...if Al Green SUCKED."

Not...a...fan.
