Clark has bad technique in that she sings very wide vowels through where she should mix for her voice (bflat above middle c). But from what I've heard about her personality, she is also a classic overdoer in that she never shuts up; this is at the root of most vocal disorders regardless of genre. Dr. Robert Bastian had an excellent article in a recent nats jos about vocal overdoer syndrome. If you're familiar with the data the leading category of singers who have irreversible lesions are amateur classical singers who are certainly unmiced.
