    >Honestly, she is filtered pop material.

    What's wrong with pop? She's pop for sure, but I wouldn't
    lump her in with much of the top 40 crowd.

    >Her descendance is Portugal but her home city is Canada

    Don't mean to dig at you if your first language isn't
    English, but the above sentence made me LOL. ;)

    >Not a trace of samba or bossa

    Not quite true ... listen again.

    >although she tries to pull off some freak charo biznez
    >which obviously is a half-ass attempt. It's pop music
    >through and through...

    Not sure what you're referring to, but again, what's wrong
    with pop when it's done well? Obviously you don't like her,
    but I for one would rather hear Nelly than Christina, Britney
    etc. etc. The album is much different than your typical
    top 40 stuff, and if it gets _that_ popular I think it'll
    be a good thing. Just my opinion though ...

    -P
