Then if I didn't say it "with those words", I didn't say it period. So no, I don't get the point, because it's clear you have none.

Let me entertain myself for a bit.
I say:
She wouldn't be anywhere close to Whitney.
You respond:
I remember you saying she had potential to be great in Youtube videos, back in 2008/2009. Then you started a "let's hate Xtina's vocals" bandwagon, changed your opinion and instead chose to say she is a hopeless and untalented mess.
Now you're saying:
I never said "having the potential to be great" meant "having the potential to be close to Whitney Houston".
So....exactly why did you bring up those alleged YT comments in response to me saying she wouldn't be anywhere close to Whitney? You clearly thought you had "proof" of me saying something that went against what I'm saying now, hence why you mentioned it. Your response would've made sense if I said "she isn't anywhere close to having great potential". Seeing as I didn't say that, though, the one with no point still is you.

If I wanted to say Christina was a "hopeless and UNTALENTED" mess, I'd say it JUST like that, so that there'd be no confusion, no misinterpretation. Not once have I ever said she was untalented. I've said that her vocals are a mess, that what she does musically is a mess and that she's not a great singer. That's not the same as saying she's untalented. If you didn't see me use the word "untalented" or the phrase "she cannot sing", then do yourself a favor and keep a lid on that imagination of yours. And if I DID say anything of the sort, I wanna see the receipts. Simple.
My feet are placed firmly on the ground. If you want more practice at using that great imagination of yours which has clearly become fodder for most of your posts, try to come up with something that makes you look as if you have at least one foot firmly planted in reality as opposed to both feet planted in delusion.

Also, for how long she had this support. Although, "Unauthorized bio"  . Still, and I can assure, not comparable to Beyonce's massive training.

That doesn't matter. As pointed out, Aretha, Whitney and Mariah were trained from childhood. They didn't just open their mouths and control the sound coming out with such perfection and skill, so your point is dead. Oh snap. Scratch that. I already said that you didn't have one.
Christina doesn't have the know-how to apply what she's learned from her vocal teachers. Beyonce did and does. In addition, she has far greater vocal capabilities. Training didn't "give it" to her. Training brought it out. That's what training does. It strengthens skills, it manifests skills, it increases vocal efficiency. It doesn't give people the ability to sing. What it GIVES is vocal control.
