I just think she's an inspiration, and a refreshment. It is so good to know there are actual people still left out there you can call musical "artists." In the U.S. especially we are getting too used to Pop musicians who might be able to "sing" but they don't write their own music, or lyrics. Their records are like an assembly line product, and that is exactly how the majority of it sounds like as well. It is just so funny because nowadays we have a lot of artists that are just shoved into the alternative or folk category like Joanna Newsom...About 14 years ago, Bjork was just coming out solo, and she was considered pop music at the time. I think if she had just debuted now there would be no way in hell she would be considered Pop. I just get really irked by how close minded music is now, and I can't even listen to the radio anymore...
