What i love about Cynthia is that when she sings i believe her. She doesn't oversing, she's not trying to impress. She's conveys emotion so well.

The difference in between her and Gladys. Is that glad it's no more? What to say when to say? Then? How a very nice voice. And she did a great job on what she did. Glasses have Gladys has deep soul. Glad it would have been worse much more sofa. But she did the basic first verse in the second verse was the Basic of Gladys. And she added a little bit her voices, it's more softer.

@@AirForceFalcons_9922 Did your a** get mad at me because I said that she don't really have her own see I'm used to people taking songs and make it their own, she didn't make it. Oh, she has a nice voice. I'm not gonna take her take that away from. She Pretty much sung it like last night. Did. It was new creativity in a voice. She sounded more like glass, but she has a nice voice, but she aint no Gladys. I tell you what. What you do, pull up the o j's and listen to Wild flower. Listen to the o j's saying wild flower. I listen to the original person who sang wildflower. And you'll see the difference, you'll see that. Eddie lavert mate, the song his own. When he went to the second verse. That's what i'd be looking for I'm a singer myself so I don't know what I'm looking for so don't tell me. That I need to stay off the wine. But you don't know what the h*** you talk about and s*** your a** up.
