Gaya vokal dan pengaruh
sunting
La Toya Jackson memiliki rentang vokal tiga-oktaf yang melonjak setinggi D#6 dalam singel-nya, "Bet'cha Gonna Need My Lovin'."[5] The Evening Independent mengatakan bahwa ia memiliki "suara menarik dan menyenangkan yang matang serta terkendali."[6] Andrew Hamilton dari AllMusic menggambarkan suaranya sebagai "bisikan seksi" yang ringan dan tipis.[7] Seperti saudara kandungnya, Michael dan Janet, dia utamanya merupakan seorang pemain musik pop, R&B dan dance namun dia juga mencoba-coba rock seperti yang didengar dalam lagunya, "No More Drama" dan dalam lagu reggae andalannya "Heart Don't Lie."
Seperti banyak Jacksons lainnya, terutama Michael, dia mengutip James Brown sebagai "pengaruh terbesarnya".[8] WKetika Jackson menulis Moulin Rouge dia memberikan penghormatan kepada La Goulue dan menyebutkan Josephine Baker sebagai pengaruhnya. L'Express memuji Jackson sebagai "Josephine Baker yang baru."[9] Menurut akademisi Bennetta Jules-Rosette, "Dengan perencanaan yang matang, dia bisa menjadi model sukses dalam kariernya di luar negeri dengan gelar master seperti penggambaran Baker. Jackson mencontohkan gagasan Baudrillard bahwa baik pesan maupun kontennya sama banyaknya dengan referensial dari penanda wacana performatif pascamodern."[10]
