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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
