Just listened back to Love Shack for the OPs bete noir bit. Doesn’t really irritate me.

Any diva that warbles gets me. The exaggerated singing up and down the scale. I believe it is called “Melisma” and is the vocal technique that involves packing a sung syllable with more than one note. This can be anything from a brief and expressive warble around a melody to a full vocal firework display lasting several minutes. Expert practitioners include Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera and Mary J Blige, Hate all those singers.

Can’t stand the bit where ABBA started their singing careers to the bit where it ended

Are we human or are we dancer ???
That’s a brilliant lyric imo. It comes from Hunter S Thompsons

“America is raising a generation of dancers, afraid to take one step out of line”.

Whitney Houston, I will always love you. Not the song itself but her wailing rendition of the final crescendo.

If you have heard the original version from Dolly Parton, it makes you realise just what a shouter Whitney Houston was.

What about the way the middle 8 leads into the guitar solo on the first album track "Caroline. Yes"?
