Thanks a lot for the comments!
I know that sometimes you can only take people's suggestions with a grain of salt, but I think I may switch vocal teachers. I've been with the same vocal teacher for the past two years, but feel like maybe I need a different perspective. I have lots of classical and jazz training, and went to an Opera/Cabaret teacher because I love having foundation, because that instruction can be carried over to any genre.
On the other hand, I think I should start working with a teacher who is geared more towards the pop/r&b side of things, since that is what I'm doing. Vocals are a funny/picky thing you know?
Like I believe that say, Prince, in my opinion isn't really the greatest singer, but an excellent arranger. That's how I can sort of see myself as. I'm not aspiring to be the greatest singer, but think I could still use even MORE training.
