It (the presidential inauguration ceremony) was the first time I’ve heard Kelly Clarkson. Didn’t notice any country qualities in the performance. Liked her performance, which surprised me, because I was expecting one of those gospel-diva renditions, which are too over-the-top for my taste. Beyonce sang with a beautiful voice, but…it was one of those diva powerhouse affairs that I just mentioned. All those triple-axles with the vowels, if you know what I mean. It’s a real talent, but I think even once or twice per album would border on too much. A hundred or so times per song? Someone needs to put those diva vocalists on a strict ration. It’s like Robin Williams in an interview versus Robin Williams in a movie—someone directing him, keeping him in check, makes all the difference. \~ *Jan. 7, 2013 / On Facebook*
