Funny - I was saying that to someone a few weeks ago. That's when I went through my trauma with her vocal changes! I got past it to some extent but still mourned the changes a bit over the years. Strangely, to me her T-Log voice sounds like an improvement over past years. Yes, there are some aurally awkward moments, but overall I like what I am hearing. It may be because she is revisiting her old classics in a new way that I hear as very beautiful, so the vocal deterioration doesn't affect me as much. On another note - I have this, perhaps crazy, feeling that this is not the end of her music career. I really feel that she could come back in a few years with something quite awesome and original. Maybe this can happen if she can get past the bother and pressures of dealing with the ups and downs of the music biz and feel more unrestricted pure joy in creating. She *could* possibly defy conventional wisdom and do an indie project at some point. It is not impossible. I don't have a problem either way with this being the end or not. A great fantasy for the future is seeing her pop up and sing impromptu more from time to time in little cafes. I still read reports here in L.A. that she does this occasionally when the spirit hits her. Damn that I have missed those occasions! ;-) Kakki
