Here are five reasons why “21” is No. 1.
1. She’s a younger Susan Boyle. A singer who is preoccupied with vocal passion rather than visual image.
2. She seems real. There’s no artifice or manufactured image. She’s nervous and normal — except for her gift of a great voice.
3. Her album bucks the trends. No Auto-Tune, special guests or dance beats.
4. She has multi-generational appeal. Everyone from the iPod generation to baby boomers is buying her music.
5. She transcends radio formats. All kinds of Twin Cities radio stations play her singles — from the indie-rock-oriented Current to top 40 KDWB to adult-pop Cities 97.
