You can hear her mother, especially in her phrasing...

not bad, nice tone and vocal runs. one to watch.

where is she? looks like a mess in the background.

People are saying that she can't sing, but I think that's bullshit. Obviously she's nowhere near the level of her mother's glory years, but she has a nice soft voice.

Um, no, for so many reasons. One, she sounds like Rihanna. Two, she is singing the "wrong way"-it sounds like she is trying to ape someone instead of singing in her range or in her own natural tone. Also, she sounds nasally. She needs serious training and then maybe with some pro tools...

Look, that sounds harsh, but when you have the lineage she has (Bobby can belt and he has charisma), you better come with it, you damn sure better sound like the second coming and she doesn't, so next.

Music junky are you agreeing with me or no? Can't tell.

I agree with the charisma part but

when you say Bob can belt.

Maybe a better way is to say that Bobby sings from the gut.

Now I can agree with that.

She's definitely not where Whitney was when she was 17. She can hold a note though, which is more than you can say for a lot of singers out there now. And this girl's gap bothers me. Why won't they get it fixed? Money surely isn't the issue..right?

Sounds just like those annoying girls who are always singing while shopping in Walmart.

As much as I love you scriptgirl, I have to disagree. While she may be influenced by the peolple she hears on the radio, she in no way sounds like Rihanna. While she does need vocal and breathing training, she does have this nice, "smokey" tone to her voice. With the right training, she can do things with her voice, if she chooses to.

She does'n't want it fixed. I think that's clear by now. Of course she has the money and the access to the best doctors.

Some people don't fix things that they think are part of their character. Madonna hasn't fixed her gap yep either and she has millions.

But, ummm yeah, she can sing. Nice husky tones. I'm interested to hear what she can do when she puts her all behind it, throw in the music and I think she sounds better than Rihanna. Rihanna doesn't do runs and riffs. she does, 'oohh, nan nah!' lol

Her voice is different from her moms - reminds me a bit of jazmine Sullivan or even Brandy with the runs. Nice vibrato

Not a great- but there's nothing Clive can't fix - he made people think Alicia Keys was a genius.

It's a shame she looks like her Dad - makes you feel for Beyonce's little one on the way.

This is exactly why I want it to be a boy.

It'll be Bobbi Kristina (daughter not as beautiful as mother) all over again.

"A shame" doesn't even begin to describe it. Poor thing.

She does look like her dad, but I think she's pretty.

LOL, she's a teenager. That's probably just her room

Meh. Run-of-the-mill average vocals...

Does not compute

She sounds and looks really nice. she's really come into her looks

She sound better than her dad and them dudes he sings with, that's for sure. And they've been performing for what, 33 years now?

Having parents like arguably the best singer in her generation Whitney & Bobby whose voice isn't bad either, but oozed charisma & swagg & could dance his ass off. She needs to BRING IT! This cutesy voice thing is not going to work. She does have a nice tone to her voice. But she needs to quit the smoking. U can hear it in her voice. She has big shoes to fill. I will give her another chance. But not many...She needs tons of vocal coaches. Which knowing Whitney I'm sure she already has..I'm not totally impressed. She gets a C-..

That's not even post-crack Whitney good.

It is a damn shame for sure (especially since I always thought Whitney was so gorgeous) and I should know as I am the product of one of these (good looking woman/ugly ass man) relationships who happens to look like the dad! Bobbi can carry a tune, but I don't know if she has a good enough voice.

Poor Bobbi Kristina, but I don't think she'll have the same success as Alicia Keys has/had even with the Clive touch.
