WOW! It's not just the voice. It's also the timing, the interpretation, the variations in the ways she uses her voice through the phases of the song. She's a fantastic singer!

Meanwhile, reading the e-paper today, I noticed a presentation of an act that's in the semi-finals of the Norwegian version of this program -- a program I hadn't even heard of in any version until today. Anyhoo ... This is a dance group that got turned down by Mira Craig as music video backup because she didn't like how some of them looked and didn't like that they showed a bit of belly in their dancing. The story in the paper is about how some of them were embarrassed about their figures until they started to dance with this group. Now the teens in the group say that instead of wishing they had bodies like their skinnier classmates, they wish they had more "booty". Personally, I have to say I have enough booty; I just wish I could shake it like these gals do. The story's in Norwegian, but the dancing is universal. Enjoy. http://www.kjendis.no/2009/04/16/kje...teiro/5772165/
