Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some artists can have several thousand ratings)

Always takes chances with her music and delivers greatness each time out. Agreed with comment below that she will be remembered as one of the defining artists of her generation.

She needs to work with Big Boi again. He brings out the best in her.

One of the most interesting artists in music right now, she will be seen as an icon of the 2010s in the eyes of many music lovers. I LOVE the funky fun of The Electric Lady.
Keep it up! :-D

This chick is funky. On "archandroid" she's written a lot of complex tunes for the r&b world and made most of them highly catchy. She has a great ear for music and her strange personae only amplifies the album's funkiness. It's obvious why big boi put her on his album -- they have similar quality taste in pop music.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
