I've heard most of it, and I posted about her a few weeks ago, with
zero response.  She has an extraordinary voice and control for her age (13,
I think) and Sony have invested heavily in marketing her.  She has had a
lot of media exposure in the UK (although not in the "serious" music areas,
such as they are) and some of what I have heard has been a good deal better
than some of the stuff on the CD.  I am still interested in answers to the
question I posed before - given that this girl has an exceptional gift, is
she in danger of damaging her voice through ill-advised use of it at her
age?
