# No I'm not.
She is a tramp! She wants to be Ella Fitzgerald, yet at the same time acting like Ingrid from Porridge! She is a tramp!

# she is probably
the best singing talent that the world has seen since and even before Fitzgerald and I refute your argument that she wants to be Ella Fitzgerald when any classical Jazz fan knows there is little to compare.
had you noticed the similarities between her and Nina Simone you might have been on the right track. Had you said Billie Holiday I'd have given you my views that she is practically the same woman re-incarnated.
You will get no argument from me that she is a filthy mess of a human being, but that's what addiction does to you. The more people that deride and ridicule addicts then the less addicts that will recover and so end up in a box.

# Pardon?
I appreciate your opinion, but I have to disagree with you. She is, in my opinion, a long way from being "the best singer in the world since and even before Fitzgerald". That is a very blinkered view. Dont get me wrong, she has a talent, and an amazing one at that, but she is far from the best at anything!

Similarities between her and Nina Simone? Yes, there are some. But please dont say to me that you think they are even in the same league?!?!?!?

But then Billie Holiday? Oh Please!

The fact of the matter is that she had/s an amazing talent and it is a tragedy that she has let it go, if she has. But in my opinion, she is nowhere even close to the greats mentioned before.
