I imagine Jazz Snobs are more happy when pop stars hate anything and everything resembling jazz.
As more than a semi-related aside:
I really wish Ringo would release a jazz album.
Anyhow, where was I? Oh,
Just as I wouldn't bash John Mayer without hearing his blues album (I still haven't heard it by the way, maybe it's psychological avoidance), I won't bash C.A..
This girl has pipes. If she would put on about 100 pounds, hang out with Nessa for a year or two, get a boob job, she could probably blow away most contempory so-called jazz singers.
Besides, and best of all, she still has some "freak" in her!!!
