Mermaids use their voices to seduce men to get into the water and
ultimately drown.
Therefore, the beauty of a mermaid is certainly tinged with imminent
death. Shouldn't her voice be?

Probably because the mermaids usually are suppose to attract young sailors men, so they steer their ship towards the rock the mermaids are sitting on. And minor keys usually express sadness. Sooo.. It reminds the men of their sadness that they can't be with their girlfriends at home.

Minor keys are "sad" keys (major keys are happy keys). Mermaids sing in minor keys because they are sad they must remain sea dwellers. They wish they had legs and were fully human so they could leave their quasi-fish existence for the almost unbounded freedom of human existence.

Minor keys, to the human ear, tend to cause an emotional response of fear and/or depression. Minor keys are very haunting, ethereal sorts of music, usually used as scary background music or for funerals- thus it's very easy to associate its ghostly qualities with the forebording doom the siren represents.

Who'd want a mermaid singing like Christina Aguilara?

They don't, it's just our ears are not equipped to catch their higher notes.
