I think this article still needs a lot of cleanup. One of the main problems here is that there are *way* too many quotes, and the "references" section is way oversized. The whole page is too long. If this person is so important, the information should be on multiple shorter pages. My preferred solution would be to simply cut down the content here. The repetoire is unnecessary and misleading, since one can only assume that she knows more pieces than are mentioned there. Cut it out. A few pertinent quotes, the discography, one or two articles and reviews (what do they contribute?), and the most important performances (without commentary) is all of those areas that should be mentioned. If someone wants more information, they can either go to the her official website or to one of the selection of links at the bottom of the page. I don't think this should be considered a B-class article, either. It needs help! --Cromwellt|talk 20:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Needs a lot of cleanup and Wikification. Ben Finn 21:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

There is a lot of information here that would otherwise not be available on the web. There's far more info here than on the artist's own website. Why delete good information that is not available anywhere else?

Because this isn't a hosting service. --ND 00:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
