Uh, did anyone else hear her voice basically break from straining it too much during The Catalyst?

Convenient use of now-you-sing to the audience, but I caught it. But then again, that shit is hard to sing 🤷‍♂️

I remember early in linkin parks career that Chester had to rebuild his ability to sing differently because of how much stress his style puts on the vocal cords. She will likely need to do the same if she’s going to survive it.

LP songs are notoriously hard to sing, and there are many shows where Chester and Mike were out of tune
