The music (and especially the rhythm and double bass) is a lot more biting, and she know how to get the crowd onside. I'm still not a massive fan of the album, but live she is definitely worth seeing, especially if it's in a smallish venue.

And I generally pretty much hate rap (except Dizzee - maybe it's a Mercury thing?), but she does have musical credibility and is doing something interesting and different which is what the Mercury Prize is all about True.
