If we were being honest her voice was acceptable and that was 20 odd years ago but even then nobody would be turning around on an episode of The Voice ..

Even a good voice now will not result in success, look at talent shows/the voice/x factor. There hasn’t been a success story in over 10 years but all of them can sing well.

People now are more interested in hard workers, song writers, people who have creative control over the music they create. Look at Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift - neither of their voices would probably even make it through boot camp of a talent show on singing abilities alone. But hard work, writing your own music, touring for years on end is what builds up your support/success. So many artists who don’t tour end up plummeting..

Long are even the days of great singers smashing the charts, I.e. Whitney,Prince, Celine, Mariah Carey etc,, people need much more than a outstanding voice to succeed in the modern music business
