Who likes it? Who hates it? Is it on the way out? Are the Beyonces and Mariahs toning it down a bit? Is melisma the disco/hair metal/grunge of the late '90s? If you like melismatic vocalists, what about it do you like?

Can I use this as a future signature?

That was a very special post for me. I would like to thank God for my special gift and for the opportunity to let me share it with you. WAUUUGH!!!!

Melisma is annoying in most cases. It means you don't have to hit the note properly (hear that, Christina, Queen Of Pointless Melisma?). These new divas can't sing properly (or can't be bothered to) so they just do this bullshit.

If there is a Melisma Prison (and let's hope one day there is), I think Christina's a lifer.

I think it's best when it's minimal, but I do like Christina.
