Lucius.

Her being a "poor musician" really has nothing to do with her range.

I have seen nothing in your posts that absolutely refutes her having 6 octaves. When I have listened to her, she beats me out by several, and I have 3. She has at the *very* least 5, and I dunno about anyone else, but that impresses me.

I can still think highly of a persons raw talents no matter what they have done with their life, who they have slept with to gain their pop status, or whether or not they have had breakdowns. I don't allow that to taint my opinions of a persons abilities, and hers are considerable. I would trade ranges in a heartbeat with her. This is not to say that I would trade everything with her, certainly not lifestyle, or choice in musical genre.

But just consider for a moment what *someone else* might have done with that same range! It boggles the mind.

We will probably have to agree to disagree, Lucius. :D
