Was she talented? Sure, but no more talented than jazz singers in the clubs I go to and she seemed like a trashy person, on her biography the people close to her spoke about how she'd like to build people up just so she could tear them down when she felt like it.
Back to the music though, if you ever listen to the live versions, it was so bad, her electric guitar playing was terrible and her singing . . .you couldn't understand a single. Word. She was singing. The keyboard music was always too loud. I don't understand how she became famous.
