Since Veruca set the precedence...
I can't believe anyone actually listens to that crap. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did she write any of the songs on that album? Aren't they all covers? Isn't it common practice for an artist to atleast come out with a few solo albums before they try a cover album.

I sampled a few of her tunes with OP's glowing recommendation in mind, and to be frank was kinda disappointed. Clearly 300-lb. Arethae don't come along every day. (Helen Terry, otoh--now THERE was a bona fide soul sistuh.)
Maybe it was just the songs I sampled, but she sounded a little thin, and stayed in a fairly narrow range, with some pretty pedestrian material.
Then again, she's only what....16? She has plenty of room to grow.
