Reply #45: no she's not, Haole Girl

For some small-minded, mean-spirited and envious pond scum she's a joke.

But the vast majority of people support her after hearing her sing. I think she will do very well. I don't think any of the people who are dissing her now are likely to show up at a public performance and sabotage it (as was done to me, once, to make me the butt of a community choruses joke). They are welcome to not buy her album(s) if and when one or more comes out. I suspect enough people *will* buy that she'll do just fine financially as well.

She's proven she's not a one-trick pony or a one-hit wonder. Her bluesy torch song did that, and probably the Titanic song (I couldn't download it, so don't know how she sang it) as well.

Personally, I think after hearing her "Cry Me a River" that she belongs in the blues. She's got the technique and the musical sophistication it takes. The show/movie/pop tunes are almost too easy...
