So what? She used to refer to herself as "the little folk singer".
Much of her material is in the finest traditions of protest folk music. What does it matter if she is not a traditional singer.
I have seen Ani live several times and she remains one of my favourite artists. Twenty-five odd albums on her own label since she was an 18 year old with $50 speaks volumes too. Others should learn from her example and motivation too whether they or not they like her music or voice (I know many here do not... and that's alright too).
