My Take
What draws me to Vanessa Amorosi is the rawness she showed so young. Breaking through in 1999 with Have a Look and then conquering charts internationally with The Power, she announced one of those big, naturally powerful voices that cannot be manufactured. Selling over two million units worldwide is impressive, but the number is not what moves me; it is the sheer life in her singing. There is an openness I associate with Australian artists, a mix of warmth and steel. I respect performers who keep finding reasons to sing long after the first wave of fame, and she strikes me as exactly that.
