- True. Which is why I have such trouble listening to WH. She's got
- a gorgeous voice, but the context in which she displays it is almost
- always devoid of soul and emotion. I don't believe her when I hear
- her sing. There are hosts of singers who I like better, primarily
- because I feel something when I hear them. Whitney does nothing to
- make *me* feel when I hear her.
