Who originated that very annoying singing style?

Asked by josie (30934points) February 7th, 2011

Last night, Christina Aguilera sang the National Athem to start the Super Bowl.

She sang it in a vocal style that is very common these days.

It is that style in which the singer seems to try to cram as many notes and syllables into a single word as is possible.

A whole lot of the young generation of pop singers seem to like to sing this way.

I think it is really irritating, and I sort of hope it falls out of fashion pretty soon.

But the question is, where did this style of vocalizing originate? Who did it first?
