^Agreed about the confidence, which started around the Glitter era. She was visibly shaking during her big performances post-Glitter (starting with the 9/11 tribute performance)-- she sounded out of breath and like she was petrified of making a mistake.
Her voice got a lot better towards the end of 2001 though with Home for the Holidays and the BET Christmas special (maybe end of medication..?). And then of course she did the beautiful recording of Star Spangled Banner. But then she sounded terrible again for the CB recording sessions.
