She was closer to being the female Justin T with her old sound. Justin although he made global music his music also appealed to the urban audience. Her music gets less and less soulful with each album. I think the soul is what makes her voice special no matter what she's singing. Without the soul her voice is generic. These new songs, anybody could have sang them like Jordin Sparks, Charice or Kelly Clarkson. Before she was in her own lane. And she does need to sing songs that fit her voice better. Her newer music, like this song, she is singing way out of her vocal range. She needs to stay in her vocal lane. I want her to do well, so I hope this pop/rock thing works out for her.

I liked her part on that song It Sucks to be you. That direction of music might have worked better for her voice and as far as her being a global artist than this pop/rock to me and is more similar to Justin T..
