She sounded like fingers scraping across a chalk board to me. But I thought it was just me. I was a little surprised to learn most of America thought the same as me last night.

does she have a bigger range? does she sing on pitch?

Sorry, but I just got home from playing a gig with 4 other incredibly talented female singer/songwriters and seeing this lameness on national TV simply rubbed me the wrong way. I am really trying to understand. A good video and good recordings (hello autotune) do not a great artist make.

I'm not sure if it is the same song as last night's performance on SNL.
