Maybe it's my shot to Hell hearing, but to be honest, Donny, her diction early on in the song seemed to be almost unintelligible. While it did improve somewhat during the later segments of the song, it still was not at all good, at least for my hearing range. That said, she does has a very powerful voice and a wide range, but no where near the quality of Whitney Houston's. Cheers, Gary

Donny, she has a great voice - no question about it. It's her diction, IMO, that seems to be lacking quality - big difference. Gary

I think melisma (vocal gyrations) can be cool (especially in jazz and/or gospel...in pop, not so much) but many times it prevents the natural beauty of the song's melody from getting through, as it does in the above example, in my opinion, of course.
Perhaps some singers like to think it shows their emotional involvement in the song, and how it exhibits their vocal control, but, for this listener, most times, all melisma does is interfere with the flow of the lyrics, melody, sometimes even the rhythm itself.
