Poster Comment:
This comes as a surprise to nobody. She was a VERY talented singer,but "troubled" isn't a strong enough word to describe her mental state.

She is a member of the tribe, but it's still confusing because she has no talent whatsoever.
Being Jewish had nothing to do with it. Like her or not,she had a really good voice.

Which means you have a Constitutional Right to be wrong.

Look, I don't care if you listen to her. But I think she stinks.

Which has what to do with the right of you or I to have and express an opinion on her talent?
