This is 10 times more important than the presidential election. This is a vote that is dividing a family (which since we were really small to begin with, means there's almost nothing left).
Here is the email that I sent to my mother and sister. It's self explanatory, but I want YOUR opinion...not based on what you've heard on the radio, or what kind of style you prefer -- based on vocal ability. It's a question of virtuosity with no room for a plurality opinion. Email me where YOU come down on this issue:

Kelly's Versatility
Sis can you BELIEVE mom still refuses to admit that Kelly is an amazing vocal talent?
It makes me love her less (mom, not Kelly).
In fact, I'm not even going to invite mom to my wedding with George (Clooney) if she's not going to get along with Kelly, who will of course be singing.
Ok so look at these three lives clips:
1. Kelly as a country hick with a crazy powerful voice in a tribute to Reba just a few months ago:

2. Kelly as more glamorous and Maria Carey-ish in trio with Reuben and Fantasia:

3. Kelly as Motown black woman (I LOVE her outfit in this one, too -- liked her look a lot more back then):

I just listened to each of these and she is crappy. If you want to love me less, go ahead. I mean, didn't this just demonstrate to you that she isn't even in the same league as Fantasia?
