because of this performance, "somebody's doing the wrong note" [un]officially became part of the lyrics when i sing this in the shower.
hahahaha
samee
HAHAHSHAGSHA LEGENDARY
Omg sameeeee
😂😂😂
The greatest vocalist ever.
Great joke but she's indeed very good. Or rather was very good
She still is very good! Just because her voice is a little different now doesn't mean she can't sing. I hate when people compare her to 30 years ago!!
The Best in my list. She is honey and butter combined
@@lightning0506 People comment that under the videos of every vocalist. You don't need to call out a layperson's subjective opinion and say "great joke", that's just not necessary.
No. ONE of them, not THEE.
There's something very calming about these videos. Sam stays so positive even when he's pointing out flaws. I know when I click that it's going to be a nice time.
i don't even consider most things to be flaws when talking about iconic singers, just less sustainable choices
he does EXACTLY what a “student” wants a teacher or a passionate human being to do. Tell the truth, the good and not so good part of singing. Even with Miss Carey who is without a doubt one of the greatest singers.
Did you hear his review of American idol’s “worst singers” during audition? The idol producers let not skilled singers pass thru to judge panel in order to make fun of them, with Simon and Randy and Paula snickering at the poor contestants struggling.
Instead of snickering or being easily critical along with the judges, Sam gave honest simple and positive suggestions on how they could improve. Of course those contestants were not there to listen to Sam , but if they were I think they would have heard positive helpful suggestions for improvement.
Of course idol on TV is for ratings and not for helping singers do better .
Come join the Discord, where we all try to be like Sam in niceness and positivity
@@SamJohnsonVoice well done
Her style changed so much over the years. She was never trained, well trained informally (by her mom) but i think the longevity and superstardom she achieved was because of how innovative and inventive she was with her ever changing sound. PLUS she created new styles/genres and not to mention how GREAT of a songwriter she is as well.
She was trained by her mom. I think that training really counts a lot. Imagine being raised with someone doing the most difficult, precise kind of singing and watching them do it and trying it out from 3 yrs old....seems like the best way to learn
Her very recent IG video which is her cover of Auld Lang Syne proves that she can still sing like how she did in the 90s. She just changed her style over the years to fit in the new standards especially in 2000's and 2010's when Pop music was most dominant.
She needed a vocal coach regardless, I think she's never had One.
@@soaribb32 a lot of 80s and 90s singers who grew up in church don’t tend to go to vocal coaches
@@Chilair1 yeah but her mom is an opera singer
Recording singer and opera singer are very different styles
For sure her mom helped her with basic things such a breath control or headvoice
I mean... Sam Johnson/Mariah Carey: That’s a combo. Saw it on my Phone, rewatched it on a Big Screen for the full experience. Love it
Omg the long hair is giving my flashbacks to your first few vids....
i grow
@@SamJohnsonVoice Hair metal!
Sam Johnson do you donate your hair to charity? No judgement if you don’t, it can be a hassle if you aren’t in an area with people to arrange donations for you.
yep i did the last time. not sure what a good company is now, i think pantene stopped accepting donations.
@@SamJohnsonVoice i recommend wigs for kids! they make free wigs for children who don't have hair!! instead of donating to a company who makes wigs to sell!
Damn, the RUclips algo really hates you. I only get notifications from you every once in a while. So weird. Anyway, great content as usual. It’s no BS, so I can see why some people are triggered by your analysis of their favorite performers, but you’re really nice about it, so all these haters can go jump in a lake! Keep doing you, Sam!
Thank you justin! I will swing back in the algorithm's favor someday 😂
In this video, there was nothing to get triggered at all. Sam constantly tells that if he just concentrates on the ongoing performance, Mariah is just flawlessly delivering vocals and wowing us. At the same time, he interrupts the video to just visualize the aftermath of Mariah pushing the vocal chords to these limits.
Just the fact that she wrote this song when she was a teenager is mindblowing to me ❤
Oh lord the screen in the background 😂😂
😇
Sam Johnson When I first saw it, I literally thought he’d grabbed a vinyl of her first LP and leaned it against something in the background.
Then it changed... 🤔
Please reaction for Dimash "Hello".
Oof "There's no shame in vocal nodules" -- that's a concept that honestly never occured to me, but I am grateful to start to think on that, having had them myself (I got rid of them without surgery, but it helped derail my hopes for a music major to be on vocal rest for a year as a sophomore at university). It's definitely not the impression I have gotten from previous instructors. It's often used as a judgement against singers--even though mine were actually probably due to my childhood speech (vocal fry & low pitch to sound tougher, bullying sux), and my singing technique probably developed to compensate for the nodules. Anyway--it seems in the wider world to often be held up as definitive/medically verified proof of bad singing. It's nice to consider that it was just an injury and not hard evidence that I didn't deserve to be a singer 😭 Thanks Sam you healed my heart a little bit today
More power to you
I thought the same. Physical athletes get injuries, too. Most are due to bad form but you can retrain your body to pitch better, run better, pole vault better, etc. I have nodules and was never that great of a singer and after they developed, i felt even worse about my voice but watching this video has made me realize that I can recover and train to be a better singer and learn to sing in a way that won't injure my vocal cords.
I love that the bg pic of mariah kept changing 😂❤
Norielle, si Kenneth del Rosario ito hhahahha. Pls like our version of my all. Entry sa isang online singing content hahaha >> ruclips.net/video/jSRxTNh_zEE/видео.html
I noticed that too ahaha
We lambs know, Mariah was chest puller at the beginning of her career until she fixed it 1-2 years later
Then it went back years later XD
her technique perpetuated the nodules dawg
What’s chest pulling ?
@@jameslasso1690 Mariah flexing her boobies
windows has experienced an unexpected shutdown Nodules heal overtime. Faster in child voices too. It’s impossible she’d have nodules all the way through. She must have gotten them again.
Mariah is coming for your Best Hair superlative, Sam
i think she's got a fighting chance too
I love Mariah, not for her whistles or range, but for that beautiful unique and heavenly tone. Especially in her early years.
Mariah herself said that she had nodules since she was a child and had them since the very beginning of her career ! Which mean in this performance she had nodules 🤯! Imagine sounded that good with a “already damaged voice”
That’s unlikely.
Analytical Vocal coach Says a literal vocal fraud.
Unlikely. A trained ear can hear the presence of nodules as they impact the way the cords phonate. I've "diagnosed" students who've come to me for vocal issues...obviously I sent them to an ENT for proper diagnosis/treatment, but I heard it in their sound. This is not the voice of someone with nodules. As Sam explained, there are hints of bad habits here that led to the issues over time.
From interviews I've seen in recent years, Mariah is...well...a little crazy. She's trying to save face, so of course she's going to say that she has always had nodules, so she can try to deny any vocal decline.
Kaji what do you mean unlikely, Sam literally said even babies can get nodules 💀 She said she had them since she was a kid.
Karina Carr she said she had nodules on an interview early in her career, why would she try to save face on her prime? Make your statement make sense!
I'm still learning English, and it's so helpfull to hear to your talking, your enunciation is amazing! Btw, i'm a crazy lamb just like many people here hahaha
glad it's helping!!!
Excellent video.
Mariah Carey is the #1 reason I wanted to sing. I'm giving my age away lol, but her self-titled debut album (which "Vanishing" was on) was the first cassette I ever owned... I played that cassette OUT. "Vision of Love" is still to this day one of my go-to karaoke songs.
The 90s female artists were just incredible. They’re all equally superior in their own ways. Mariah, Whitney, Celine, Madonna... But Mariah for me was just unmatchable. She truly inspired a whole generation of singers. And helped pave the way for many artists in today’s generation. I have so much respect for these powerful woman. That’s why it annoys me when people make unnecessary comparisons. Besides that Mariah still sounds great and will always be knows as one of the best female singers/songwriters of all time. Could you please react to Mariah Carey’s Vision Of Love (Live at home for GMA). Which she performed just a couple of days ago and killed it.👸🦋✨
You lost me at Janet and Madonna lol
Brent Arnwulf Banaag What do you mean? Even though Whitney, Mariah and Celine we’re at the top during that era. So was Madonna. And Janet was doing well... my point is there’s just no need for comparison that’s all
@@Mariaaa_xo Janet and Madonna were performers first, singers second. Sure, they were top of the charts, but not because of their singing capabilities. Unlike Mariah, Whitney and Celine who were really known, and studied as vocalists.
Brent Arnwulf Banaag I get that. But i have respect for everyone of theses powerful woman. There’s nothing wrong with that
Brent Arnwulf Banaag the original comment said female artists, not vocalists. There’s nothing wrong with the comment
She was able to sing with those nodules for 30++ years she was really born to last
"I love Mariah Carey and I am proud of what I said" haha, loved how you ended the video. As always, great analysis! Straight to the point, without any personal feelings or biases affecting your analysis.
I really appreciate your insights and advice on the voice, I find your approach is universal and really helpful for singers across any genre. Thank you for posting these videos!
thank you so much for understanding my goals!
Mariah has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard. I don't care if she doesn't sound like she did in the 90s, her voice is better than most artist today.
Sad that the video with better quality was just taken down. It had 1M+ views.
We really appreciate tho that you still made an effort just for us 😍
OMG! I just realized that, why would someone take it down?? 🙄
Sam, can you please put Mariah Carey’s “without you” live @ Tokyo Dome on your list. And please analyze it in the same way as this video. I love you analyzing Mariah. It’s extremely helpful. Because her voice was such a mystery to many people for so many years.
It was dubbed, better example would be some TV performances of Without You or undubbed ones like Rotterdam. But generally I can say 3 words: Poor breath support
@@roibryant I was talking about Without You no? And basically entire Tokyo Dome Concert was dubbed, it's obvious but go off calling me fakefan when I literally listened to all of her albums and watched around 90% of her live performances. But you def know better who I am
Analytical Vocal coach Lara Fabian and Whitney Houston have a better breath support than Mariah...
windows has experienced an unexpected shutdown I never say the contrary, but Lara and Whitney still have better breath support than Mariah 😐
All of the Tokyo Dome 96 concert is beautiful and I love when people like Sam experience them. Someone else here said it well "it's perfectly imperfect"
She definitely has imperfect moments, and it's still all around my favorite of her concerts. (But I Don't Wanna Cry live in Paris, France is neck and neck with the one in Tokyo.)
I literally stopped what I was doing when I saw this upload. This is my most awaited reaction!!
I remember listening to that song on cassette tape over and over, loved singing it. She’s incredible.
Wow, that was the best reaction to this performance. It was so so interesting and full of information! We all know that Mariah is next level. But she's also a human. That's why it's great to know how much work it costs to create a beautiful sound like she does. It was so cool to finally hear something professional and real but also kind about her.
I love the reaction, and the way you kept changing the Mariah Carey background picture from time to time 😂
As a Brit, I really enjoy it when Sam talks about Mariah going to Homebase.
Mariah is the greatest vocalist of all time. Period... Doesn't matter how her voice is now when she is 50 years old. What matters is what she has done and is there for everyone to praise...
I know you're doing a great job because you're talking about mariah and analyzing her with major respect. Cool Video!
Sam, I think you are a fantastic voice teacher, and, your analyses of singers are spot-on. You always approach your analyses with respect and kindness to the singer you are analyzing. I am a voice teacher and head of a voice department in Europe, and I completely agree with your views about technique, artistry, and care and preservation of the vocal apparatus. Please keep the videos coming - you are just great!
I never comment but I wanted to say a) you are awesome. Your videos make me so happy and I always look forward to them and b) I’ve been wishing for ages for a vid on some old school Mariah and this was wonderful. I love your approach.
Wow, thank you!
Mariah has said that she's had nodules since childhood. And I'm assuming some of her singing habits, incredibly demanding song catalogue, and work schedule over the years have not allowed them to heal, and worsened them. Also, she's said that her nodules have allowed her to sing higher than many other people and facilitated her singing in the whistle register as well as she does. Obviously, we can't confirm these statements, but just throwing that out there.
But anyway, thank you always for your honesty and expertise. This is why your channel is a cut above. And like you said, we can love and appreciate Mariah Carey and still acknowledge that she has some unhealthy singing habits.
I agree but i think she has learned to work with a slightly damaged instrument, which isn't the best way to learn healthy habits so maybe had she not had the nodules her technique would've been less dependent on them and probably had a easier time high belting.
@@bafbaas1210 Yeah, I don't doubt any of that!
Exactly!! Who knows? That process could’ve started when she was 2 (she whistled around 9) for all anyone knows!
I do think so too. I've noticed that whenever I feel sick or I have a sore throat, I can access the whistle register easily. I can't go up and down the notes tho, but I can access the register.
I see Mariah, I click!
This is my all time favorite song from Mariah. It was one of the first songs I heard shortly after my grandmother passed away years ago. It has such an impact. Glad to see you reviewed it.
Loved the reaction! For more Mariah I would recommend to watch her GMA performance of vision of love so you can analyze her current voice when it's at it's best!
Her recent 2020 GMA performance*
😍😍😍😍😍😍 always loved mariah.. only artist I had every album of... lol.. so to watch you dissect this gem was a treat.... I'm sad its over.. please do more!!!
I think shes her best around 1994-1996
and add pretty much 97. Since Butterfly was recorded during those times plus several live perfs like Butterfly, My All and Honey.
No one can learn what Mariah does, you’re simply born with it or not!
& that’s just that! End of!
Literally this video is proof that you can. Technique and musicianship are things that can be taught by education or experience. Of course genetics help (especially with tone) but great singing can be learned
It is possible if you study it your whole life lol so basically, yes, whether you're just born with it or not.
*I'm EARLAYYY*
tell all ur friends
@@SamJohnsonVoice sure king
You are so well spoken. Great vocabulary and you are able to explain things clearly but also very specifically. Love listening to your analysis.

I believe Mariah's highest note was a Bb7 in Emotions 1991, VMA Awards
That's right. I think that theory actually works but when referring to head voice, not whistle.
G#7
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147 That makes no sense from an anatomical standpoint.
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147 there aren’t 4 passagios
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147 do u know what a passagio is ¿
What an objective & academic based analysis. I love this.
One of my favourite ever vocalists is Steve Perry from Journey. Every perfomance is worthy of a studio recording. Such a rarity.
Oh damn from full on belt to whistle , she's the QUEEN❤️😭
Lambs, Sam is our friend. He's just analysing her vocal state and technique in this performance objectively. This is not in any way derails her talent. It's just a technical lens of what she could've done better in this particular performance.
That’s great, but why doesn’t he do the same thing with more modern/popular singers? With popular singers he always just says “this is great!” “This is amazing!” But... what’s Sam’s real opinions about these singers’ vocal techniques?
@@Alexdabomb09 He considers her to be the standard, the blueprint, the GOAT. So his critiques will be a lot more thorough whereas if it was any random singer, his critiques wont be as concise because he doesn't know that much about their career or history.
@@Alexdabomb09 he does that with everyone not only mariah
@@cloudofreverie786 does he really consider her to be the goat or is he just biased? stop finding excuses for him
@@moonlightespt3818 name one singer he critiques as much as mariah, cause it surely isn't ariana, even though she still has an improper technique 10 years into her career and still can't enunciate
I’ve been waiting for you to do this one! 👏🏻👏🏻
“Somebody’s doing the wrong note.” Therefore Shaderiah was born.
No she can HEAR! You’re not gonna be behind me making my shit sound funny! The average person would never hear what’s wrong, but I can’t imagine how much that irked her being the artist she is😄😄😄😄
I'm fascinated and amazed by both her voice and your ability to find flaws in it. I could watch these forever 🤩
People get very confused in terms of healthy / beautiful. Sometimes vocals sound beautiful but they’re not as “healthy” as they could! Mariah creates beautiful sounds but sometimes she sings in a “unhealthy” technique in order to create certain sounds, maybe she could create them without as much effort or tension but it’s how she decided to approach and she’s still brilliant despite all that!
I don't think there is anyone who can reproduce the beauty of this performance without using that "unhealthy" technique. The beauty is simply impossible to match for any other technical vocalist.
Philip Cohen I agree totally!
Very objective. It's a good analysis. Love your reaction whenever you're blown away.
Do you think lower voices like Cher or Annie Lennox aged very well because their vocal folds don't come together as often as a high voice like Mariah Carey?
I think technique helped Cher very much with her voice aging.
Brent Arnwulf Banaag cher doesn’t have proper technique lol she just doesn’t stress her vocal cords because her records don’t require a lot of range nor good technique
@@marccasta4045 Equating range with technique isn't fair. Her range isn't naturally big. What makes Cher's technique overall bad?
Mariah has done more than 15 tours and 16 albums with extremely hards vocals and with nodules. She had overworked so much. And mariah can still sing better than her.
@@ismaelm.mbaangue9147 Mariah has more demanding songs than Cher that tax her voice far more. But to say Mariah has worked a 100 times more is a little strange. Cher has released over 35 albums. Cher has been touring on and off since the 1960s. Just looming st her solo career alone, excluding Sonny, she has 12 tours. Some of these tours have lasted three years e.g. The Living Proof Tour which had over 320 shows.
Mariah works her ass off writing her material. But Cher has worked her ass off as a live performer for half a century
Sam, I love, love, love your analysis of vocal technique. Keep on speaking up for those of us who appreciate your insights. I also greatly enjoy your candor ... performers at this level use their voices so much more than the rest of us can imagine so repetitive strain is definitely a thing.
She has a new performance on GMA hope you'll react to it👌
She's my all time fave but yeah i think we dont need to react to that new performance. it's aight
Her voice is really excellent health and rested. Quarantine has really done justice for her voice. Bring back the Mariah we truly fallen in love with.
I've learned that nodules are caused by dummy thicc vocal chords
😂
I have learned a lot just from this video. I really appreciate your candor and insight. The voice is an amazing instrument that cannot be replicated and it makes you an individual. Thank you Mr. Johnson.
I would totally be this guy's student. There's something about him that makes me not feel shy about exposing my terrible voice.
Mariah, yay!
enjoy!
Sam Johnson I really like how you’re so meticulous and careful when you analyze her vocals, pointing out the good and the bad. And I do wish that you would do an analyzes of her performance of Without You at Tokyo Dome (1996), it’s quite remarkable!
I like your "looking at the bigger picture" approach to your vocal analysis, shows knowledge, sensibility and you're super respectful of Mariah's talent and legacy. On a lighter note she might've been a little tense because of her backup singers being off key for most of the song, but she called them out lol, even her rehearsals are classics! thank you for this reaction.
She is PHENOMENAL. LEGEND.
I don’t have an academic understanding of music but I was there at her beginning, she was just flawless, was like she was mutant lol I think she damaged her vocals cords on the past decade but Mariah at her prime was something else
Excellent as always.
I love when you react to Mariah in her primer because most reactors are always starstruck by the outcome of her voice that they ignore her vocals choices. I'd love to see your react to Mariah singing Hero with Pavarotti. Her voice is already very different from this video and still sounds great. Or maybe Vision of Love live at BET in 2005.
Love from Brazil.
Sam, I am a Mariah Carey Lamb for 30* years. I am also personally a light Soprano which is prob what attracted me to her songs as finally there were notes that felt in my range on the video shows. But what you just said was packed with more knowledge and tips than I’ve ever heard on singing and technique. It was so helpful for me. You are unbelievably constructive and in no way did I think you were attacking MC. I have def subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your wonderful insight. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 do💗🥰💕
I love Mariah. She’s perfection to me. ✨
Loved all of this. I love Mariah Carey but also love the technique analysis.
The grestest vocaliat of all time, ever 👑
omg i'm happy you're doing this video. Its one of my favorite songs/performances of hers. :)
React to her gma performance 2020 she is still sounding AMAZING
Yes. Love this perspective. She is incredibly talented, yet still human. There is likely not a singer alive that couldnt find room for improvement somewhere.
Love the realness Sam! ....and the hair 🙌❤
I think a few questions I would like you to explore is:
Is her voice a vocal anomaly?
How do her vocal nodules (which she claims she’s had since birth), assist or detract from her vocalizations?
Is there a nurture versus nature argument regarding Mariah Carey’s vocal type, range, and production of sound?
Would her singing still be considered virtuosic today as it was during her debut?
Does Mariah Carey have a reliable instrument or vocal technique?
How does her tone and timbre differentiate her from other popular singers, and what if any effect do they have on her vocal stylings (melismas, runs, riffs, dynamics, stylings)?
I for one would be interested in hearing your musings. It is clear that Mariah Caret is in a class all her own, accompanied by a very select group of women. So it is not a stretch to consider as a basic principle that she is an extremely gifted singer with a natural talent. But exploring everything she can do on top of her basic production of sound would provoke an interesting series of discussion.
Not since birth, since childhood.
oh hell yea i can’t wait to watch this when i get home from work
I’d like to hear your opinion on Whitney Houston’s technique at her prime! I think Whitney and Mariah used to sing similar in terms of pulling chest voice a little too much for effect! So it would be interesting to watch you analyzing Whitney’s vocals. Some interesting performances are
“All at once live at American music awards”,
“All The Man That I need live at the American music awards”,
“Porgy, And I am telling you and I have nothing live” and
“I have nothing live at the billboard music awards”! Love your videos!
Clinton Gorham Music maybe he will, Whitney is a brilliant vocalist! One of the best voices ever!
It was and is still a GIFT! I have no choice idea how she was able to negotiate phenomenal singing with nodules! That being said, even in the early days you could hear her fragility and power at the same time. I think even now how she’s adjusted for over 30 years is amazing.
There is a 1990 Vanishing performance that she just released it in HQ on her official RUclips channel for her MC30 campaign. Check that performance out if you’re interested.
You're awesome. Love your insights.
You should watch this interview where she talks about her voice. She said that she can control how airy her voice can be (she specifically said belts but idk) and it's very interesting for me :)
absolutely she can control it, that's the whole point
@@SamJohnsonVoice btw bc you said we can ask about nodules, she said that she can whistle because of her nodules. She said that as a child, she would wake up with no voice whatsoever and only whistles would come out and eventually she learned how to do it normally. Thoughts on this? (I love your videos by the way!
*and her voice doctor said this to her. She said that the part of her voice which should go into a rasp turns into this solid, high tone instead.
R C Nodules do not cause whistle. They just give you an easier access.
Finally !!! I was waiting for you to react Mariah again because you are one of the best on RUclips and your explanations always help me to sing better. So thank you for this reaction.
She seems to like to play with her imperfections and make a ton of iconic performances
I love you & I love your passion in doing what you do. Also, I love how you change the faux wallpaper in the monitor right behind you to different images of Mariah from her debut era. Thanks and keep doing what you're doing!
In behalf of all Mariah Carey fans, thank you so much for reacting to her. This is one of her most legendary performance of all time 🥺❤️
That was THIRTY YEARS AGO! Crazy! Mariah is incredible 💕
So good, Sam! Love your Mariah videos. I had a suggestion. You did the Mariah medley reaction, but could you do the 2013 Mariah medley from American idol and compare it to her more recent one?
I've been waiting this analysis for ever! Thank you ♥️
You should react to Mariah Carey’s vision of love live at Tokyo dome 1996 ! Please 🥺💛
You are great to watch for both entertaining and educational purposes! Love your style!
Early Mariah is great but like you said, she does have a lot of quirks that aren’t that healthy. I believe she sorted most of that out by 1994, and for a couple years her technique was almost impeccable. I think what hurt her was just an unhealthy lifestyle (too much touring, lack of sleep, drinking), which ended up tiring her voice and made her revert to those bad singing habits as a way to sing “around” her damaged voice, which only ended up hurting it even more.
I wish I could go back in time and tell her to take proper care of her voice. I think her story proves that things like these can happen even to the best of us.
Too much touring?
Mariah literally had 2 tours before her vocal decline
Music Box Tour: 6 dates
Daydream tour: 7 dates
Are you really calling this overtouring?
Her bad habits and unhealthy lifestyle was the main reason of her vocal deterioration
@@nonchalantdewiness True 👏👏👏
@@lightning0506 Oh, dear that's overtouring given the fact that she's singing some of the hardest songs in those concerts. 1 Mariah tour can be harder that an artist with 100 tours combined.
On top of the rigor and demand of the songs she performed, she also had to deal with domestic violence w/ Tommy Mottola (who MJ called the devil) early on in her career. The emotional trauma that takes on someone along with a demanding label that works you like a machine, along with other ways that Hollywood has abused her and many other vulnerable stars is a lot of pain to cope with.. there seems to be an illusion of choice sometimes when it comes to being a famous musician but labels put a lot of pressure on you to do things that are not the best for you and also control you so you make them money. Not promoting that lifestyle, just stating it was a way she had to survive that consequentially wasn’t the most helpful to her voice.
@@lightning0506 I would say she did overtour, she wasn't always doing huge tours she did side performances on morning shows and etc so she was constantly going and she really couldn't stop because she wasn't in control of her career at the moment.
Yay! I saw the request and so excited to see this..LOL had to comment before watching.
30 year career* (and counting) 😊
ugh mariah is next level 😍
I don’t understand how mariah is able to produce the lows and have a deep darker tone in her mid to lows but then becomes so bright in her mix.
That’s actually very common. Mariah usually lowered her larynx (when she sung low) which brought out the lower frequencies creating the deeper tone. It’s really hard to sing high with low larynx and sound good, so Mariah kept it neutral (or high) when she mixed.
She's a natural soprano but given that she has nodules, it's sorta an Achilles heel but also her edge because it helps her produces low notes as well as access her signature whistle register. This is proven when she accesses her head voice in the 6th octave. The vocal color and weight is that of a light lyric soprano. Also her belts blossom in the 5th octave too. She always was navigating her voice through a broken instrument and she bodied her prime but as years went by, the wear and tear is now evident. It's a good thing that she has proven herself already that she doesn't need to sound like her former self to be validated because her discography and legacy speaks for itself.
@@cloudofreverie786Makes sense because her mother is a mezzo soprano.
You won’t be disappointed, I promise and I also respect your opinion and what your saying. Your really excellent and distinct vocal teacher and very precise
I just went today to my local ENT because at the beginning of the pandemic (due to requests) I started doing a 3 hour 10 week run on Friday evenings of request driven live shows.
The last few i felt my voice was fatigued but just tried to adjust how i approached certain songs so that i could get through it. The last few months I have been really hoarse and thought it may be allergy related, but I knew something was wrong because the hoarseness kept getting worse. I was afraid that I may have nodules, cyst, or a polyp. Prepared for the worst......after he ran the scope down he found that I didn't have any of the big 3 but that my vocal folds were inflamed and suggested that I do 3 to 4 weeks of vocal rest (no speaking) and stay hydrated and then he suggested that I work with a speech therapist and/or voice coach to learn better on how to sing more with my diaphragm to take some of the load off of my throat.
Wanted to put this comment out there so that if others are concerned like myself and start reading and expecting the worst, it is not always the worst options you read so much about. I hadn't read of inflamed vocal folds so I was rather stressed out about it.
Definitely a good idea to go to an ENT to get checked out. :)
Amazing analysis
I had the VHS tape (yes I’m that old) of her MTV Unplugged concert. I suggest you take a look at that cuz the sound quality was amazing and this style of her. Especially when she sings “I’ll be There”
EDIT: The unplugged concert was her first 1 or 2 albums so you’ll get her early music off there too. Man I wish I had kept that tape
Fantastic analysis Sam! Thanks for another amazing video! Love your Funko Pop collection! My son has a huge collection.
The best vocalist technically speaking ! So perfect , insane control
I know you love Mariah Carey and respect her! Just seeing your face expression when she slays the notes perfectly and beautifully! Do your work!💪🏿👌🤩
