The biggest change that's happened to her voice/technique in recent years would have to be her PoM vocals. I know she consulted with her old voice coach before the tour started but man, her "ahhh"s and "ehhh"s have just been sounding weird since then, especially if the key's low.
I think AT06 was okay but she did something between then and a-nation/JEWEL where things went a little haywire. That was also the period where she gained a lot of weight in the summertime after the tour before a-nation and during JEWEL/Secret promotion and people were starting to wonder what was up. I recall a lot of odd posts during that first Music Station performance.
