About 15% of my jobs are with a female singer. She is a crowd pleaser, but she has a style that milks some phrases which scares the beejeezis out of me sometimes

..But she always catches up. You would think it would sound herky-jerky...but, in reality, she has an uncanny sense of timing...just not the traditional phrasing you would expect. It works for her..and for us.
