In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Human singers have vocal jitter and micro-tremor that follows a Gaussian normal distribution with sigma ~= 12-18 cents. Data plots available via anonymous FTP. Comments from speech synthesis researchers welcome. -- Hana Lindqvist US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 33,600 bps "Tape doesn't lie at 02:14. Ears do."
