NOBODY out Aretha's Aretha!! I suspect the 'purity' that many find in Eva Cassidy's voice is a lack of soul. Aretha has it, Judy had it, Eva didn't. (Nor does Whitney, Maria, Celine etc. etc.) Sorry Owain, you can have all the 'flawless technique' in the world, but give me a bit of grit -- ever hear an opera singer trying to do pop music?
