Carlos, you obviously love her and thus feel passionately about her. The others obviously hate her, and thus feel passionately as well. I understand you want
to defend her, but it's not going to change their minds or make much difference. Just shake it off, let it roll off your back. Christina isn't any less
of an artist to you just because people talk sh*t about her.
My opinion of the woman...I enjoy her music. I have most of her stuff. I think she is talented, and I actually like the fact that she's a bit bi-polar and
not very cohesive with her sound...regardless of if it makes for a good album, or if it is ripped off or not. Do I think she's orginal? Not really...but an
artist doesn't have to be original or groundbreaking for me to enjoy their music.
That being said, although I think she has a great voice, I think at times it can come off as far less than great because her style of belting can be a bit
abrasive and unpleasant to the ears. Again, My opinion..I realize not everyone will share it, and that's okay. I think she sounded great on her debut, and
I enjoy her voice when she's scaled back, but in subsequent efforts her belting has been a bit ..OOC. If she toned down the belting just a tad..made it a
bit less "shouty" per se, I think she would sound miles more pleasant.
Personality-wise? Eh...I get the *!!%! vibes, and I think Mary J and other celeb's comments about her give that claim some validity...but I don't want
to judge because I don't know the woman personally, and I am not a fan who watches every interview/stans her boards etc. I know how a lot of people
misinterpret Mariah save for fans who know her a bit better. I wouldn't want to do that to another artist.
