I'm hearing it too, but I think it's a technical fault because I hear that same voice throughout the verses where Toni sings by herself

[@liztaylor7787]

I was just watching this earlier this week and thought I didn't know Traci was a soprano, because they should be arranged for the performance that way. And then a few days later I come back to relive and I don't have to wonder how she's doing now. The others have been visible on social media out here. She is indeed in a much better place than all of us. When I was 18 I had a near death experience from an operation. And I started to bleed to death. This really bright soft light pulls you forward. You feel so much love, greater than you ever felt before. The pull stopped and I could see the brilliant shine telling me I had to go back it was not my time. I said want to go with you, I heard go back and tell there is no fear in death. Then I woke up in recovery and the nurse said you gave us quite a scare. So I told my mom and anybody that feared death or wanted to know what their loved ones felt. I say I can tell you my story and tell you I was to tell fear not death. Traci bow down before GOD ALMIGHTY and JESUS. Once your head is Adorned with your Crown and your arms with your wings, you may SOAR with the ANGELS higher than you ever have before.

[@kayymarie1105]

Tamar definitely got a nose job 🤣🤣

[@quentincarey]

@@kayymarie1105 ok so I’ve heard 2 different stories but they could both be right. Both Tamar and Toni were born without cartilage in their nose which caused breathing problems so she got her nose done to fix it but it hurt so bad that she never got it finished which is why her nose is crooked. Also Tamar was in an abusive marriage back in 2000 and he broke her nose which is why she got it done. Probably was a combination of both
