She's a nice young lady who happens to be beautiful. She seems like a good role model. No berating her audience or singing unflattering things about her mom. As for the "deer fetus" comment...do we know what kind of deer? Maybe a white-assed one? Anyway, I wouldn't mind if someone compared me to an extremely youthful creature with amazing cheekbones and long, slender limbs. Does Joni have an accent? Does Taylor? I'm not sure I hear either (from a standard US-California point of view). Eastern Canadians have a more pronounced/stereotypical accent than great plains/west coast Canadians, and I can't usually discern then from Americans. Maybe Joni has a particular cadence, which could surely be coached. Taylor kind of sold me with her stage banter when she performed with James Taylor, for whom she was named. I think the movie will inspire a small portion of its tween audience to become extremely devoted to Joni.
