    She has the best singing voice I have ever heard and she's a talented actress.In The Phantom of the Opera, she was probably the most talented singer in the whole movie.I'm glad she is going to college to get an education and get a job so she doesn't rely on only the money she makes from acting. That's pretty much all I can say.
