I don't like squeaky voices. While we're at it, I will mention again my allergic reaction to Kate Bush, Tori Amos, etc.
She is a very talented player and I would never say she "sucks," but that doesn't mean I can't find her music appalling on a personal taste level.

I don't think 'the ability to play the harp' is quite the same as 'good at the harp'. Just because there aren't many visible harpists doesn't mean that Newsom is any good. Rhodri Davies, a bit. Newsom, no. I wouldn't say Zeena Parkins was brilliant, but she does make a pleasant sound with the instrument.
Newsom smacks of novelty to me, but then nearly everyone I know loves her, so what do I know?
