I feel the same way, I thought it was just me. As soon as she opens her mouth, that tone comes shrieking through. A long time ago, she would sometimes sing with more of a range that included a beautiful tone every now and then. But for years she's been singing in the same loud obnoxious tone. It's like she lost or forgot all about range and disciplined vocal control and just wants to blow everyone away from the first note to the last, no build up.
