I think she has a nice voice, but I don't like her style of music that much.

Oh, come on. Every GOD DAMN song sounds the same. Where's the originality in the composition? That music is a mcdonald's/disney version of anything done by the 50's greats. Ella fitzgerald come to mind, anyone? Just cause you've never heard it before, doesn't mean it's original....

It's supposed to be a tribute to jazz, i think it's unique because she blends a modern and old fashion sound very well.

Her new CD is due out Feb 10th, and the first single is due out sometime in January! Im so excited.

Her music is great to listen to when studying or going to sleep. Very relaxing and peaceful.

..in other words, her music is good to put on as background noise you don't really listen to. You're right - but thats testament to the meaninglessness and lack of impact her music makes. Muzak with a Pop CD pricetag.

She plays the type of music a guy will force himself to listen too in order to get laid!

I like her music a lot. I happen to be a musician and respect good musicians no matter what type of music. (rap is not music :p)

I just bought her CD at Target. It's out!!!
