With her big voice, versatile pianist/singer and VH1 darling Sarah Bareilles has garnered comparisons to other songwriter/vocalists such as Norah Jones, Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor. That's OK with her, according to her self-penned bio. "I write mostly on piano and I'm a girl, so lots of people say it's Norah Jones or Fiona Apple. That's fine. I love Norah's subtlety and Fiona's fierce lyrical prowess." Her major-label debut, "Little Voice," which spawned the peppy radio single "Love Song," is "a collection of songs that pretty much mean the world to me," she wrote.
