"distinctive amusia"
this contention, apparently drawn from her autobiography, needs elaboration. the lady clearly can write & recognise music, & has no problem performing it live or in the studio. following the link to the page on amusia, one learns that there are two distinct forms- inherited amusia, & that which results from a cerebral injury. it needs clarifying here which she apparently suffers from. I've read her book & don't remember this being much of a thing, & you'd think it would, what with her (& me) being musicians. further, there's no mention of her on the linked page in among the great & the good who've been listed as notable sufferers. what makes it 'distinctive'? is some smart arse using the term incorrectly to take a swipe at her vocal style or what?

- agreed! this is total nonsense unless it's some humorous, self-deprecating direct quote from her, in which case the full context needs to be included. her rhythm and vocal control are both extrordinary and obviously intentionally crafted. "amusia" is a very extraordinary claim and demands extraordinary evidence to back it up. In fact I'm just removing that statement, and if someone wants to reinstate it, then it needs to be cited as a direct quote or something, not just a personal interpretation.
