The vocal is certainly what we'd call 'affected' to the point of pretension.

That said, she has been much emulated in the last 6 years...

I assumed that was what you meant, but helping confusion "abound" can be fun and humorous sometimes.

She's been in the U.S. since she was 9. She speaks perfect English.

If she could say 'better' less like a two year old I'd like this more.

Is this just in a deeply weird key, or is something off pitch in the first verse? I can't quite wrap my head around what I'm hearing there.

They spelled the song incorrectly.  Clearly it is, "bettoh".

If you gotta ask...  Don't worry though; there'll be some Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Santana, Clapton, or some other Classic Rock dinosaur along very soon.   I like a lot of stuff, (including the dinosaurs) and it usually balances out.  Peace.................
