They really do. Back to basics, which works in her favor.

Ok. As great as that performance was, what the hell is up with her LIVE vocals??! She is finding it harder and harder to hit high notes. It is unavoidable now. Her harmonies are great though.
It was way too early for a new single (or album track) performance anyway. It is 3 months to October. So a performance now would have no benefit on an album being released in October.
I think she will go the MTV VMA Awards route again. Release the single that week, perform it at the VMA Awards.

She has some really good moments live vocally mixed in with some really deep lows. She didn't seem completely comfortable with the arrangement

www.bet.com/video/betawards/2015/performances/the-weeknd-alicia-keys-the-hills-earned-it.htmlHer voice is not as great as it was before. I don't know what's the problem. Sometimes she sounds great, sometimes she doesn't. During the last tour she sounded really good because she took vocals lessons. Anyway she didn't sound bad last night...didn't sound perfect either. "Y'all weren't ready for me to pop up on that stage!!???? Just getting started...???????????????? #BETAwards2015"

She has some really good moments live vocally mixed in with some really deep lows. She didn't seem completely comfortable with the arrangement She keeps singing her LIVE performances in a lower register. And when she tries to blow/hit how notes, she sounds like she is screaming. Or when she coo's and goes falsetto, she sounds out of breathe. Since that BET Awards tribute performance to PRINCE in 2010. I don't know whether it is on purpose or if she can't sing in a higher register any more. Because her voice has gone deeper, gruff/ Hoarse over the years.

Loved the "Earned It" performance. She still sounds great in her lower register, but her voice just doesn't hold up with upper register belting anymore. I don't think she sounded bad though.

Question: Is there a way she/anyone can regain their vocal form back? I've always wondered this.

On her last tour, she took really good care of her voice. The regiment she was on then, she should get back to it. :)
