Her looks have nothing to do with it (other than as a part of her populist 
mythology). She's not an actress. Given training, perhaps she could learn how 
to get "inside" a song, but there's no evidence so far that she's anything but 
an "external" performer. The stage door does not lie in that direction.

Not that I want to drive up the YouTube hit counter, but if you watch her 
again, pay attention to what she does with her eyes and her hands -- especially 
in the pauses between lyrics.
