Artists Whose Singing Voice Diminished

“It was from smoking all that crack!”

“I’m afraid her voice may never be as strong as it once was. She was truly an extraordinary artist that the family could watch an listen to. Today’s artists show too much skin and sing about sex too often for my taste. I miss the "Pre-Bobby" Whitney Houston. The next best thing is Celine Dion. I hope she doesn’t change.”

“She has utterly ruined her once-incredible voice. She no longer has an upper register, which was once her trump card. Her voice sounds thin, strained, and raspy today. Her tone is dark and husky, when it was once light and supple.

Remember, kids--crack is whack! And it will permanently ruin your singing voice.”

“I totally agree love em in the old days”

“Listen to Fantasy which was Mariah Carey in the ninties, then listen to Obsessed which is Mariah Carey 2009.”

“she kills me..”

“remember when she could hit those really high notes? she doesn’t do anything like that anymore and all her songs are the same.”

“Plant went for it night after night... throw in drugs and booze and no voice teacher, and you had a recipe for vocal chord breakdown...”

“Plant is old.. We all lose our singing voices sometime.”

“this is true, though I’ve playfully sang zeppelin tunes at home alone, and the next day my throat was swollen, so I can understand why he’s lost some of that wailing power.”

“She had a STUNNING voice when she was younger, but as she got older and sexier, we heard less and less of the voice that managed to get her a record deal.”

“She never had a singing voice. Only playback and a lot of sound effects. Enough said.”

“poor britney!”

“god he was so epic but now he’s lost it, but its all because the "So What" cover”

“How is Ozzy NOT on here? His voice didn’t just diminish, he’s just ’gone’. It’s kinda depressing.”

“As long as the check clears the bank, he doesn’t care how he sounds these days.”

“He may not be as good as he used to be but I just saw him a few months ago and I was still close to tears. He’s still got enough magic to go around.”

“his music was always bad now it’s just torture to listen to.”

“throat operation took away some of his magic. listen to his older stuff. He had three times the range”

“The woman had the most marvelous voice of any singer I have ever heard in her early days. Just listen to Share Your Love With Me. The tonal quality, the wrap-around notes, the delivery -- she was magnificent. I think what has done her in, flattened her voice and limited her range is smoking. She has a raspiness that is very unbecoming, and she cannot hit high Cs any more.”

“OMG I heard Ann on American Idol Give Back. Wow, she can’t sing it like she used to. Maybe if she lost the weight it would help.”

“Go to Youtube and watch a live performance of "Photograph" from the ’80s. Then watch the same song performed at a recent concert. Joe’s patented power vocals are missing in action.”

“He was great in Van Halen but it was all downhill from there. His singing in Chickenfoot is terrible in comparison.”

“She still has an amazing voice but her range has been shorten when it comes to her upper register. If you were to go on youtube and watch her perform "The Trouble With Love Is" on air with Ryan Seacrest you would see what I mean. Also go look her perfrom "One Voice" By Barry Manilow. Then go listen to her recent performances! BIG DIFFERANCE!”

“I’ll always love Diva Holliday, but something happened to her voice when she dropped all the weight. It’s like the depth disappeared with the pounds. Sad.”
