The only criticism I have of her voice is that when she goes extremely high, her voice tends to thin out. Otherwise, bitch is solid..

I absolutely love that she's a mezzo. She can get the best of both worlds with the ethereal notes of a soprano and the earthy deep ones of a contralto. I think as of late, she's been leaning more towards a contralto as she gets older. Her voice still has this light quality, but her lower range is becoming my favorite because it's so easy for her. The belts are too, but like on her last album, she went all the way down to G#2. That's like baritone/tenor area. The only thing I have with her is that she wants to mix her G5's. Her connected range by far trumps her peers. Going from F2-E6 in studio and Bb2-D6 live. And it's all a seamless, true connection from top to bottom. No breaks, bridges or gaps.
