That woman who sang on that show (i've watched it on youtube, I don't remember the name now) proved how real and good she was at singing, even though I personally have no time for her style, and find it a little too much, truth being told. I don't get how extremism can become a way of listening or playing music that is meant to be really enjoyed, without the listener and the producer of records occasionally incurring the wrath of self-righteousness and ridicule because they so vehemently adhere to such strictly unshifting aesthetics.
