I honestly don't think that's the case, but I also do not feel that her vocals in 2019 are better than her vocals in the 90s. Her vocals in the 90s had much more "depth" to them for lack of a better word. She even admitted that her vocals were starting to have issues, and she wanted to retire before they got worse. I believe I started hearing it in her lives around 2015-ish.
