Which brings me to the other problem I have with it: her voice. By the end of the record, I was digging my fingernails into the desk to keep myself from hitting the fast forward button. She may be great live, and I could hear flashes of brilliance, but for the most part she sounds like (as my 17-year-old son put it) one of those little kids on a pre-teen beauty pageant. At some points she's even flat.
I don't want to be too harsh, though. I can see where she could develop into a great jazzy singer. On at least one track she sounds like she'd be a natural on Broadway. But with the exception of "Closest Thing to Crazy," I doubt I'll even bother to rip tracks off this CD.
