I don't really like her but she is getting loads of air play here in the UK. I feel I could like/LOVE her if her songs just had that little punch. They're not bad to listen too they just seem to be missing something, somethig which would really make the song but without it I feel let down after hearing it.
katie melua (shes had 2 albums but only recently had recognition in the UK) is a female artist of todays charts that I much prefer to KT. Her songs again seem to be missing something in them, there just a little to mellow but its great chilling out music. Her voice struck me as being Stevie influenced at first and her song writing has the kind of unpredictable/unconventional layouts that Stevie also has.
I don't know how big etither KT or katie melua are in the states so ill post a song.
