!!Her works contain examples of:
* TheChanteuse: Especially apparent in her performance in ''Franchise/JamesBond'' themes, she sells a rather hammy noir motif.
* TheCoverChangesTheGender: Her cover of Ben E. King's "I Who Have Nothing" is another perspective-flipped example. Her cover of Music/GeorgeHarrison's "Something" swaps "she" for "he".
* LargeHam: The bombastic performances are unmistakable, especially when she is singing some ''Franchise/JamesBond'' themes.
* MilkingTheGiantCow: In performances, she has a tendency of doing this doing big finishes, and a good number of her numbers have them.
* SpellingSong: "Burn My Candle".
