That's why I compared her to Eva Cassidy.

She's needs to balls it up a bit more.
Somewhat agree. Although Winehouse dips her toe in Soul and Funk and Gardot is definitely old school which makes her less edgy but more appealing on an emotional front to me. She is also not a skank.

In all seriousness I am just dissapointed that someone with that good a voice is not recognised at least in the Katie Meula etc market (and a lot better to boot).
