Untitled

The following phrase has been marked as "dubious": "Briggs has a natural ability to improvise in various styles of music..." I don't consider it "dubious". As to how many styles of music in which she can do this, I do not know, and whether it is "natural" I do not know, but having watched videos of a few live concerts in which Ms. Briggs has performed, it seems to me that she can improvise well. Perhaps replacing the phrase with something like "...noted for her improvisational style..." might be appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.243.155.254 (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
