She has an unreal range thanks to her flawless ability to jump up and drop out of a falsetto. Her tone set a trend for countless imitators. Her songwriting and lyrics are as good as anyone out there and yes ‘Someone Like You’ will still be played in at least 30 years and likely well beyond. Just the rhyme ‘Never mind I’ll find’ is so unexpectedly perfect. So yeah she’s the real deal. Anyone who can’t hear it is sadly too happy to be miserable.
