    Like those before her that didn't fit In a r&b box (Tracy Chapman.. Macy Gray.. MeShell Ndegeocello etc.. ) it's hard... When you're black r&b is all you're supposed to do when you're a singer.. Sad how people try to make u fit in a box... I'm glad she stuck to her guns and continues to do so.. "Hopeless" still feels and sounds like a cloudy beautiful rainy day... I love that song.
