I've heard worse. However, I definitely wouldn't consider her radio worthy. IMO she's on the same level as a decent garage band. She doesn't suck, but I definitely wouldn't willingly listen to her music. Having listened to a few of her songs they're just "o.k." and I'm not a fan of her voice. To be completely honest I'd rather listen to Britney's new album. And that's sad.

Imogen Heap(born December 9, 1977) is an English singer-songwriter from Romford, London, most famous for her work as part of Frou Frou and for her 2005 solo record Speak for Yourself. In 2006, she was nominated for two Grammy Awards...

...Imogen Heap played music from an early age, and is classically trained in many instruments, including the piano (her first instrument), cello and clarinet. She later taught herself to play the guitar, drums, and the array mbira.[2] She had begun to write songs by the time of her thirteenth birthday...

...She signed her first record contract at the age of 18 to independent record label Almo Sounds, having enjoyed a prestigious live debut, performing four songs, which happened to be backed by her closest friends including the band Acacia, between sets by The Who and Eric Clapton at the 1996 Prince's Trust Concert in Hyde Park, London organized by Kyle Browne in 1998.
Quite a list of credentials for someone who's only on the same level as a "decent garage band."

Everyone has different tastes, and if you don't like something, that's your opinion (and that's just fine). But it drives me nuts when people downplay someone's obvious talent just because they don't like their music, art, etc etc.
