Thanks for your analysis.
I’ve listened to Whitney over the decades and while I appreciated her range I always wondered why I’d cringe when she “belted” certain notes. It just wasn’t pretty. Not to mention overdoing those “Cadenzas”. Maybe it’s a black thing but I couldn’t appreciate it. She was always hoarse when interviewing too. No wonder.
Back in the Day, when I was studying Voice with my Brilliant Voice teacher, The two of us wanted to fly down to Atlanta and RESCUE Whitney from whatever Vocal Coach it was who was advising her!
Alas, having seen the direction my beloved Nation has taken in recent years, I doubt if Whitney would have listed to ME.
I may be from the same neighborhood as her worthless husband, but not the same ethnicity, so WHAT DO I KNOW about R&B singing? Or Politics for that matter? LOL.
I am getting a bumper sticker that has merely 4 qords on it:
I TOLD YOU SO. :-)
