      If she worked on her technique she’d be absolutely unstoppable though. The main problem with most overly polished voices, like Lea Michele for example, is that they sing with basically no emotion and focus solely on technique and sounding good. Take other classically trained singers like Amber Riley and Cynthia Erivo though, who have a perfect balance of technique and rawness in their singing

    For Jennifer, she auditioned for American Idol by singing Aretha Franklin's Share Your Love With Me, sang "Respect" in front of the Aretha, sang at Aretha's funeral, then finally get to play the Queen Of Soul in a biopic movie in which Aretha handpicked her
