First of all its a "Disney song" which means its meant to cater to younger viewers! This isnt a song we are used to mariah singing! She was told how the song should be structured and sound like because of the direction its meant to go to! If she didnt agree with it they would have never accepted her to do it! And like you said, her voice has aged! Your not gonna be hearing those soft, sultry, melodic tones from mariah at this time! Her voice has become more hardened and lower yet still quite powerful! Thats why her voice isnt as gentile as before! You have to except that someones voice isnt gonna be the same 20+ years later!!
