    Chaka proves over and over again why she is one of the most versatile singers on the planet. The thing is that the note choices she does is just unthought of. Her roots are jazz and her choices she do are always strategically placed. She has the highest highs and the lowest lows and everything else between. If you truly knew her catalog and knew how she's covered multiple genres you'll know what I'm saying.

      Chaka slurs her words and seems to often perform under the influence of something-don’t know if it’s pills, alcohol, or something else, but she has been disappointing in the live setting for years. The voice is still surprisingly intact considering all the abuse it’s undergone, but her delivery is lacking.
