I'm not sure what people are objecting to on Goodbye Baby. It was clearly recorded to be like a lullaby, especially at the beginning. Her vocal is soft, almost whispery, at the beginning, and gradually builds up over the course of the song. There's not a lot of correcting on her vocal, so it sounds more raw and real and that was deliberate, in keeping with the raw realness of the lyrics.
