She has a nice raw voice, I like that. There will undoubtedly be people better than her, there always are, and making music isn't all about being seen, I'm sure the majority would rather avoid the publicity and strains of fame and be happy with staying underground with less money, being less well known.

Speaking of strain, anyone seen britneys new song about the paparazzi? I hate the song, but the lyrics are interesting. I kind of like how you can imagine her talking about the things she's singing about. She appears to be much stronger in this new song.

The strains of being a young woman and in the lime light is so clear in both of them, yet they carry on with it and try their best. Those with brilliant talent are better off without the fame in my opinion. Living without superstardom is a small price to pay if they want to stay happy and enjoy their careers.

The list of superstars who have turned to drugs and gone loopy is quite long. Britney, Whitney Houston, Jacko just to name a few severe cases of people who have lost everything due to that kind of fame. Stay in the Jazz cafes talented musicians, dont fight to get into the limelight, it clearly isn't worth it in the long run!

i saw her on a show that showed her before she started on drugs and she sounded so much different she looked alot different too
