She is amazing. Her vocal range is phenomenal. Her attitude and sass is adorable. And wow, she's high as a kite.

Also: when she's free-styling at the beginning of the performance it is very easy to see where Janis Joplin got a lot of her technique. I totally dig Janis, but some of her impromptu wailing is very nearly identical to what we're seeing here.

Oh that is so true about Janis. You can see why she would want to channel her, though, its so effortless.

ETTA 4EVA.

Oh, I so adore her. She has an amazing voice. Strong, powerful, and yet it can be so soothing. I could listen to her for days. Actually, sometimes I just do that

Nobody comes close to Etta. She's a powerhouse with ... sass. Yes, sass is the right word. Etta, and, on a different note, Ella Fitzgerald, for when you need to feel good.

Etta makes me so happy and then so sad within the space of a verse-chorus. So much hurt.
