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.

The smoothest of all pop divas. In spite of her range conservatism, Toni still manages to consistently be the most relevant of the Braxtons, earning herself a household name status in the '90s as the first lady of LaFace to Clive Davis' Whitney and Tommy Mottola's Mariah.
