I may sound like a cranky old broad, but can someone write a song nowadays with a fucking melody? Jesus H. Christ. Just horrible. Sounds like one of those American Idol songs.

And re: she would sound different 15 years later even without the crack: listen to jazz singers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson or Sarah Vaughn. Their voices were beautiful in their 40s and beyond. Hell, even Aretha sounded fantastic at Whitney's age, with no age deterioration. Actually, most real singers get better when they are in their 40s. I'm sorry, but you've got to do a whole lot of fucked up shit to mess up your voice that bad.
