Oh, I don't know, music, fem expressions:
I came across this lady on YouTube,

Nice voice.
And if her singing isn't your cup of tea, check out her expressions. How long would it take someone to learn to copy those mannerisms?

Hi DonnaT,
Thanks for the Yisabella link. I am most impressed - and this is not easy for me to say. I am very critical, especially about the current musical scene. She has an earthy voice that shows a lot of good vocal training. Her phrasing is excellent, and her diction is superb. Contrary to most of today’s singers (and screamers), you can hear every word of the lyrics clearly. As for her mannerisms, they are entertaining, frankly sexy, but, I find them a bit contrived. The mannerisms may actually detract from the quality of the vocal delivery, and take your attention away from the music. But that may reflect my personal views that tend to emphasize the acoustics rather than the theater.
How you find these things on the maze of crap on YouTube amazes me. Thanks.
Hugs,
Lydia
