Umm, i dont know, i also thought she was pretty average and talked much about herself, but Michael did saw something on her, she lived on Neverland for like two months, i do think her voice is very sweet and beautiful, average yeah, but she does sing better then britney, may be Michael saw her singing live and u know many singers do not sing well live, may be she was an exception, Michael wanted to record a duet song with her, may be Michael liked that kind of voice for some special song, Michael was very much after different ideas.
Someone asked what she said about the kids, i read she said that the first time she went to Neverland Michael introduce her to Prince and Paris, they both were about to shake her hands, and Michael said "Here in Neverland we do not shake hands, we give huggs" and the children gave her a hugg, then she said Michael was very very gentle and funny.
