a. Voice cracks
Questionable notes are any notes with a questionable significance. In short, this spoiler acknowledges notes that I am aware exist, but do not want to contribute to the singer's range. These involve (but are not limited to) weak vocal fry, uncontrolled slides, very short notes, notes hit at an ambiguous pitch and notes where it is unclear who is singing.

Launched into stardom with the Fugees and set the new standard for every neo-soul artist with her solo album. Lauryn is kind of a controversial figure these days, but ever since she got back from her artistic black hole she's been on-point and on-message, so I figure the education goes on.
