Well her voice has been on a downward path since 2000-2001. It was really improving a lot between her debut and I Am... (the Dearest lives are some of her most outstanding in her career...especially the unplugged and x'mas versions). We've had glimpses of that again over the years (Will is quite great, in terms of vocals), but generally it gets more and more hoarse each year. A large part is that she screams so much during tours. And singing in a high register (which was natural at first, but I think became more forced over the years) is really hard on your vocal chords if it's not natural--it strains them.
