I've got a friend who can't stand singer interpretation schmaltz. For me, it depends on the song and the singer. I found out about her from a friend when I told him my band does Stormy Monday, and he recommended her version. I have to say I'm not impressed with most singers' versions of that song because it's all about interpretation and yet it's not easy to interpret. I like the jazz she mixes in with the bluesy elements there. I also love her on quiet folk tunes. But her loud blues histrionics are a little harsh. Hey, to each his own.

What anybody sees in her godawful version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow is anyone's guess-- singing something slower and adding more notes that were never supposed to be there does not an 'emotional interpretation' make...
