I really appreciate this. Thx for postin it rainman smile


cool No worries. I came across it while looking up stuff on techique and exercises etc. I remembered folk are always talking about her voice on here. I was very interested to read the stuff about her bad technique, like the jaw wobbling, I've seen that in a lot of singers and didn't realize it was a bad thing...


Thanks for the article. I know Whitney has had additional challenges, but I wonder about vocal training for a lot of singers more generally as they age. I think many singers think they can go on forever singing incorrectly, or not adjusting etc. and their voice usually suffers. After seeing Maxwell this year for instance, I wonder who is working with him on his technique etc. because his falsetto seems to be in danger when it was so crisp just a year earlier. I recently listened to Sting live and while he certainly isn't keening as high as he was at 30, at 60 he still has so much clarity and strength and has adjusted his range in a way that I think will preserve his voice forever.
I hope Whitney can readjust.

She's missing her upper wisdom teeth, some back molars, or something. It's evident she has issues with her teeth/gums, looking at how she holds her mouth when she speaks now. Totally different from when she was younger. That problem is also affecting her singing ability, by causing her to talk and sing too rapidly, with a slight lisp. neutral

I noticed this on his tour from videos. Y pay to see Maxwell if he's not hitting that pure falsetto? Really, u can hear his chest voice on the album.

She sucked Clive Davis's dick, it was too small, and she got wirey gray pubic hairs stuck in her throat.

Whitney has dentures. It's pretty obvious from the way she sounds and the way her mouth area looks. I think she should have gotten dental implants myself. You don't have to worry about those falling out.
