Adding to this, tonight, a 17 year old I am working with, when we were
discussing Kelly said, "Kelly is using her voice improperly. It seems to
me she would go so hoarse that she wouldn't be able to sing anymore if
she keeps singing the way she is. She like shouts when she sings all the
time! Her voice is already hoarse."

This from a 17 year old girl who sings contemporary and classical with
her wonderous voice.
