Surprised a thread wasn't started about her. Maybe people were too busy on her Wikipedia page!

I have been listening to this woman for the past two years. She is incredible. She was very deserving of this award...last year!

Here is where I first heard her...enjoy..and share your thoughts.

Justin WAS robbed. If Es-Pathetic Balding is so good, why hasn't anyone ever heard of her? How many times has she sold out Madison Square Garden?
