She's 17 (12 when she started her career) and her voice is every bit as soulful as any veteran singer in the business.

This is where being attractive and rich comes in handy.

I think she needs to stop trying too hard at being the new Janis Joplin and concentrate on developing a style of her own.
At 17 she is still very young but if she wants to make songs that make an impact on people, she needs to change.
Otherwise, she will never make being the singing veteran that she has the potential to be.

I don't see anything wrong with the music she's producing. I heard her for the first time a few years ago while I was christmas shopping in a tiny garden store. I was compelled to ask who the store clerk was listening too. That rarely happens.

ok, fair enough, i think her songs are bland, they obviously hit the right spot with some people

I personally like her music mainly because how her voice sounds.
Her song You Had Me is what really got me listening to her.

That and her music has energy and her perofrmances are kinda hypnotic. In the way that Jennifer Lopez's rear end is. You can't help but stare/listen to her.

Why is she trying to be the new Janis Joplin? Because she did a cover medly with melissa ethridge? That was the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Secondly, I'd recall when we were 17, that we wrote what might otherwise be considered **** songs. I liked Don't cha wanna ride. And I think the stripes cover was pretty good.
