As much as I am normally dis-interested in pop music, I freaking love her. She's one of those singers that initially comes off as just another female vocalist, but then you watch her performances (music videos, live, piano, acoustic, etc.) and she's genuinely talented and just has a "thing" about her... I must say, I'm also jealous

Edit... and, I must say, you just helped me figure out what my halloween costume is going to be...
