Yyasss thanks 🙏

It's terrifying to notice your voice is getting weak in the middle of a performance. It takes a lot to sing songs like this and it shows if you are not on point.

[@rosemont2283]

Yeah I agree. It’s scary and when it happens we just think fast for however we can recover and make it up, but we’re all human and we’re not perfect.

She started off strong, even singing the first part of the song like pre-1996. Her upper range is really inconsistent but until the climax she seemed okay. It was only really the “don’t let go” part where her voice started going a bit off.

[@Thee_Mranderson]

I never understood why people get so critical of a professional singers vocal abilities 🤷🏾‍♂️ I think she did great for what the performance is

[@GabirouTaejin-ku4ov]

Upperbelts were her strong pint maintaining proper chest coordination until G5, she could’ve belted higher if she mixed more .She started mixing more in the early 2000s,that’s why she could bet higher.
