Well that happens with people who draw too: they start drawing bad and later start to draw excellent and they just can't draw badly anymore That's still called "a change" even so.


I personally think her voice has improved big time.

-She now controls her vibrato much better, different from the A BEST/RAINBOW/A BALLADS time
-She has a softer, maturer and cleaner voice different from her high-pitched scream aloud from A Song for XX/LOVEppears
-She can sing songs that portrays leading and attitude better: Bold & Delicious compared to AUDIENCE (Please I'm not comparing both songs, just the attitude she has. In AUDIENCE she's supposed to be leading the audience to clap and shout but it doesn't sound like she's doing that if you don't watch the performances or read the lyrics, while Bold & Delicious portrays it better).
-She still can do that quick-rap sort of thing that became quite unique to her songs (evolution, Fly high) well (Ladies Night).

She still has some problems with chorus and some elements she adds like all those hey hey, wow wow wow, yeah yeah stuff. She could have some improvement on those but almost all of her verses have been vocally flawless lately imho (Liar, (miss)understood, Will, Pride, walking proud, is this LOVE?). Overall I prefer her newest vocals over her older, though i think each vocals suit the period she sang them.
