Now when I hear “what a GREAT singer” someone is, it means that they sing really LOUD, make a lot of warbling yells and jump around a lot.

Celine Dion comes to mind. Nice instrument. But she defines oversinging. fff from beginning to end. (For Celine fans, I know not everything is triple fortissimo all way thru. But there's just way too much hoorah and jumping around in everything she does--just because you can execute a fancy lick doesn't mean you should all the time.)

It's so refreshing to hear Groban just sing. There's plenty of dynamic; but it's appropriate to the song. So by the time you get to "fall on your knees . . ." the verse actually has a climax. It's because he left himself somewhere to go in the beginning.

Exactly right.

This woman had the most beautiful voice ever. She died way too young. Seriously, I weep anytime I hear anything by her.

Anyhow, she’s my standard, so when someone says ‘they’re great’ I think “yeah, but are they Ofra?”
