I don't think it's her voice so much that affected how I feel, but... the way she sings it. In the old concerts, 2001, 2002, 2000... she has a slurry method of singing songs, while from say around 2007 onwards she sings in a staccato method, meaning she emphasizes every word strongly and it comes across as jarring especially on songs like HEAVEN @ ABL.

I miss the most, however, were the lyrics. ASFxx to I am... have the best lyrics IMO, because they were filled with self-doubt and questions yet with a very young hope that everything is gonna be okay. From around Secret or so, I feel the standard has dropped... and we're kinda in a slump IMO
