I will say that Aretha, Patti, Mary J., and others can still sing to their full potential despite their age. There is no excuse for Ms. Carey's age as a factor in her dwindling voice. She is a drinker, that is why she is no longer the powerhouse that she once was. Even her ex Eminem called her a boozer. My heart races when I see her holding dem babies and trying to walk in those heels. Damn where is Nick?
