I really like her powerful, sweet and unique voice. I don’t think that anybody can accurately copy her voice. She is also so classy…I saw her show at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans one time. I was so excited to hear this voice directly. Yes, I really enjoyed her performance. She doesn’t need dancers or other stage illusions. Her voice alone captured the entire and made them connect with her. Every person got so excited when she started singing “Sweet Love” and the audience felt emotional together.
