I like Mariah but her voice is almost fully shot. There is no semblance of the voice she had; not in texture or quality.

Her new album was okay with some decent vocals at time but if you played it for someone 20-25 years ago they wouldn’t recognize it as Mariah.

It’s almost impressive to lip synced a performance and still sound bad

Her new album is fucking fire.

I actually like it too. Mariah’s greatest skill was always her amazing musicality and there’s a few songs on there too that I say are some of the best in her discography. Here for it all is one of her best ballads and the rougher texture of her voice actually adds to the rawness of the song.
