She's not nasal and rarely flat. She isn't technically great by any means,and I often dislike her tone,but can still hear in it technically good qualities that are going to make her successful at least to a degree .She has potential and marketability,whereas there are a million would-be singers who,like Kitty,have shrill,nasal,incompetent voices that will never be much more than 2nd rate pop lite/shouted rock.Unlike Kitty,most accept it and find something realistic to do for a career.
Kitty is a decent,skilled tribute act,and credit to her for finding a way to maximize copycat skills to the point of being able to earn money performing in spite of her lack of vocal ability,because for someone with a voice that poor in quality to do even that takes a lot of work to compensate.
Still,she's not a good singer and as herself without the tribute act skills backing her up she has no chance.
