  7. I heard her at a concert a few years ago. When she sung No More Drama, I
    swear you could hear a pin drop. 10,000+ of us must have been holding
    our breath. It was one of the most transcendent performances I have ever
    seen/heard. To say she conveyed her pain through that song would be an
    understatement.

  9. Yep, she can go lower and sustain them better with proper support and belt a lot higher. Not that range is everything of course.

  10. There's no denying Mary's got a lot of soul but her tone is definitely inconsistent. I prefer her mid-range belting and lower notes, she almost sounds like a contralto at times.
