Does she really have any?
And I don't say that flippantly, I tried to like her, I saw her (boy, was it a boring dull show), and I used to sell her stuff at my shop. I concluded people who bought her were looking for someone new, unfortunately, new is not always better. She can't hold a candle to any singer/piano player I've heard. On her xmas album, the players were great, the recording great, then when she comes in, lookout, she takes the joy out of xmas! I was hoping with the birth of her children she'd retire.
Lol, i have to correct you, it hasn't become popular, it's always been popular. But I agree, each to their own. I only commented since I really tried to like her, saw her, heard her many times, and still felt blah. Now Stacy Kent, her I like. She reminds me in some ways of Blossom Dearie.
I've also taken a liking to Diane Reeves, especially with her input on the movie goodnight and good luck. Loved Holly Cole when she first started out, one great live show, then one not, and now, she's either out of steam or material that suits her-maybe it's the weight gain.
Jane Monheit doesnt' float my boat either. And you wonder why we go back to the old singers...
Now I think Stacey Kent is really cute. At least she doesn't have a hammer toe like Ms Monheit. We saw her once very upclose, which was unfortunate, because she wore sparkly open toe shoes, toes painted deep red, and her one toe kept crossing over. I kept laughing so hard I finally had to get up and go to the bar, but from the ankles up, she's hot. I also bust out laughing when she started scatting--ella she's not. Just so you don't think me unkind, I cried my eyes out when we saw Shirley Horn. Totally mesmerizing and wonderful.
she's definitely more my cup of tea, and she can play her piano without looking bored...
