The crazy thing is, the cracks and shit made her more raw to me..... there were instances of it on A Minor and they left them in and it added much more grit and realness to an album that already sounded street. But her voice otherwise still sounded decent so they were acceptable. 

In the first verse of Why Do I Feel So Sad she cracks on "makes me wanna cry" but I love it

Yes, it felt really authentic. I also loved the production especially on the diary album, the instruments>>>>

I don't know if it had to do with Krucial..
As I am had a couple of nice songs, but it wasn't the same.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like the song  :plzstop: I can't believe it was a hit. Girl on fire is also one of the songs that still makes me cringe.

I loved Unthinkable, Fire we make, Lesson learned..she still can make very good music but yeah  :dead:

It really does. Like you'll never see me again (ALONE!). I believe the album leans more into pop/crossover so it makes sense while a lot black folks aren't crazy about. She pulled back on the street and hip hop influences.
