Anyone can edit Wikipedia, though. They were probably joking (as much as I love Nessa)

But yeah, much has been said of her drinking too much which probably hasn't helped.

Anyway, the references on Wikipedia seem to lead to opinions, and a kind of saying like "she's the bands own Mariah Carey" basically translates to "she's the bands best singer". They're not actually comparing her to Mariah, because not only is there no comparison, she's not even near Mariah's level.”

Una and Rochelle are looking at you. Tut.

But to answer your questions I heard rumours she drinks and smokes a lot and unfortunately her voice has suffered.”

Meh it wouldn't suprise me. Every Tom, Dick and Harry are referred to as the next Mariah or the UK's Mariah Carey.

BTW - I think people are focusing too much on what I said about her losing her range. I was talking more about her voice "cracking" and her struggling to hit notes. If anyone seen the 'Notorious' performance on Live Lounge, she looked genuinely terrified and seemed to have to battle to sing her lines. Someone on Popjustice suggested vocal nodules?
