Posted by: En Ming Hee at May 7, 2008 10:26 PMShe is one hell of a talent, given she has written most of her own songs, some of which sound as if they'd been timewarped from the late 60s. She sounds like a cross between Dusty and Cilla Black, but they didn't write, so far as I know.
Hope she gets thru it, but she will leave more than a beautiful corpse behind if she goes.
