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.
