I'd been seeing her face around yesterday, not sure where, and heard her name mentioned on the radio several times, but it wasn't until Fred pinged me about her that I listened. Seeing Simon's reaction was certainly worth it.

I presume that these people go through weeks of singing like American Idol. If so, it would be interesting to see how she handles different types of material, since she does seem suited to the big Broadway musical type fare. Her voice also sounded very engineered--not sure of the right terms, but it had been massaged quite a bit. Don't get me wrong, she has a lovely voice, but wondering how she will hold up. I guess we will find out, since she's such a phenom.
