I used to loooove her voice, but I really can't even STAND listening to her live anymore. When she's not yelling or off key... Well, nowadays that's almost never anyways?

It's gotten to the point where I see AHS members say "THIS NEW LIVE SOUNDS SO GOOD" and I feel like their standards must have dropped SOOOO low to think anything she's done live nowadays sounds good, much less listenable... That might sound mean, but I don't mean it that way, I just can't see how people can seriously think it sounds good these days. x__x And she used to have like, maybe my favorite or second favorite voice in the world (and I've never thought she was as bad of a singer as a lot of other people do, I mean I've always REALLY loved her voice), so it's a really big deal for me to say that I don't even like her voice in some of her studio recordings these days.

And as for the reason her lives have been getting worse, I'd say it's probably just a combination of losing hearing in her ear + nonstop work over the past 11/12 years + (as GRACE would say) the fact that she forced her voice soooo high early in her career + she doesn't seem to want to go to a vocal coach...
