I am totally horrified that this is in the mainstream music scene. Sure, there are plenty of pop stars with minimal talent, but she tries to sound like she has talent with her attempted runs but really it just makes me cringe. There is nothing unique and exciting about her voice, it sounds like she's trying to imitate the popular sound today and she's not even close..pitch is off, tone is boring, songs are a drag. As a fan of comtemporary R&B and some pop, this is exactly what is wrong with the music industry, artists making money that have no talent and nothing new to offer. Sorry Amamda, I know you did your best but I don't think it's any where near good enough to compare with your competition.
