well, i have and i don't think that's all that accurate...as far as 
the comparison to KaTe. she does have a wavering quavering voice though
and as the previous poster said, it does take a bit to get used to
it since it is *very distinctive*. there's a certain something about 
it that recalls many femaile singers since she has a number of styles 
that she sings in. it tend to vary to match her music, so it's soulful
when she sings a gospel-ish tune and it's bibbity-bobbity when she's 
singing a fun-kinda-tune.
