    Saw live performance at Massey Hall, July 22. 2005. What I heard was like finger nails on a blackboard. 30 Minutes was pure torture. I looked around and saw many people wishing they had come late to see the headliner.

    Her voice is a thing of wonder. [Apr 2005, p.123]

    Her songs are tough and earthy, hating mere prettiness when fieriness or forcefulness are required.
