   Yeah..  sounds too whiney.  I don't like the real-time story-    
   telling of her lyrics either.

   That sounds pretty good. Will consider an audition.

   I went down a little rabbit hole of paino-related videos that     
   very quickly led me to Rick Beato's stuff.  One of the first     
   one's I watched was "Almost Famous - Why Record Labels Suck-    
   6oWsgTAXc8U.mp4".  It was an example how a big label can ruin     
   everything.   
      
   If you like Taylor S, you may like the lead singer in "I Nine -     
   Seven Days Of Lonely"  There is a similarity.   
      
   Another vid entitled "How KATY PERRY 'Was Inspired By' I Mean     
   COPIED This Song" intrigued me.  He's quite a versatile fellow,     
   operating mixing boards, plays guitar, piano, etc..  I'm going     
   to check that channel for sure.

   Someone made a joke about those kinds of collections, that it     
   was peculiar that a fan of a particular band or artist who     
   already has all the material in various separate original CDs or     
   LPs from over the years, would buy the "complete" set re-issues     
   decades later.
