I sang with many vocal coaches for years. Some of those notes that Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera belt out are virtually impossible for most people. Unfortunately, it's damaging. It sounds good now but I guarantee that 2 years from now, Christina won't be able to sing like that. i've noticed that Mariah doesn't attempt to hit those high notes in her songs anymore....maybe something happened.
Christina tends to oversing. In the Mulan Rouge song, she overpowers everyone. She has a good voice but it would be nice to hear the others.
I do like her better than Britney, though. The problem that I have with Britney is that she does know how to sing, she just chooses not to. If anyone has ever seen some of earlier stuff that she did as a kid on Star Search...the girl can sing. She's been trained since she was little to NOT sing through the nose. But, since sounding nasaly is making her money, she'll keep on doing it.
