I'm not a big fan of vocal embellishments like "oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh" and other bullshit that a lot of American singersuse to bastardize songslike Whitney Houston and Beyonce do.I agree about the 'runs' and all that crap... never liked it, never will, but I was talking about singing ability. Despite the fact that Aretha loves to embellish her vocals, she's still better than Boyle.
I am curious to hear what she (Boyle) chooses to sing next. Hearing her sing a variety of stuff will prove whether she's really a damned good singer, or a one-trick pony.
Edit: BTW, that cellphone salesman from last year (or whenever it was), IS a 'damned good singer'.
