In The Boss, she's the character of a headstrong sophisticated woman who thinks she has it all and has all the answers but love shows her who's the boss. In Music Makes Me Dance, she's the funny girl character
Jean on the other hand is one character - herself. her talents are more technical but oh what talents they are. I always felt she sang as "Jean" and could interpret that in a variety of ways. She could be r&b with a bit of pop peppered in with Up the Ladder, she could be cerebral with all of those wonderful Frank Wilson lyric's about god, human love and peace and nature - Love It Came To Me This Time, Here Comes the Sunrise. she could be gospel, holy-roller with Thank Him For Today, You Gotta Have Love In Your Heart. she could be soft and reflective - I Guess I'll Miss the man
hope this wasn't too in depth but that's my take on it
