She had an amazing voice in the 80s, when her range was incredible. That hoarse sound she gets, why didn't Ken ask her about her voice and singing style, and how its changed over the years. That's her instrument and it would be nice to hear how Bonnie discovered it.

She pronounces "France" in British accent, however in the song "Lost in France" she says it in American accent.
