It's just not as good as someone who does it like Kelly.

There's no good or bad in this though, Ariana is belting properly as well... the only thing she lacks is pronunciation. She's been trained for about what, 14 years? She knows how to sing, and sings the way she likes it most in a healthy manner. Kelly could NOT do this song justice.. just compare it to her cover of Everytime by Britney.. Another song she can't do justice simply because her timbre doesn't suit the song. Also, Ariana hits those upper chest notes with more ease than Kelly does. Though I do agree with you that those notes, in the right song, sound way better coming from Kelly..
