    • Ariana Grande's "My Ha...
    This is my reaction, breakdown and analysis of Always be my baby by Mariah Carey live at the Tokyo dome. This is from her 1995 album Daydream which features other great hits like Fantasy, Underneath the Stars and forever, and has become one of my favorite albums of hers. In mariah’s singing we here a much brighter, more forward sound, placed in the nasal passageways, with more of a mix in it. This is very characteristic of this era of Mariah. By this time she was using less of her original chesty, a little more backwards placement and really bringing her sound forward. This tends to be a lot healthier even though I do miss the rich color we got in her earlier albums.
    Mariah is such a genius when it comes to songwriting and pushing the limits in terms of what vocalists can do. She went on to influence many pop singers including Ariana Grande and Christina Aguilera, and she is an influence of mine as well. Her agility is astounding, as is her mixing range and her whistle register. Not too many people can do that lol.
    I am a jacc/R&B vocalist, saxophone player, music educator local to New Orleans. I have two degrees in music and have been studying and teaching for a long time. It is a joy to make these educational videos for all of you. Please let me know what you’d like to see next!

    Hi Erika. Thank you for your in-depth analysis on this performance. I really enjoyed you using your voice to demonstrate Mariah's vocal technique. I like that you are not biased and objectively point out any possible issues (eg. crack), and at the same hype the positives in the performance. Your Master's degree helps point things that my casual listening ear would never identify, especially Mariah's excellent vocal techniques.

    Her resonance, clarity & control with range & fluidity through registers is beautiful but her voice has definitely matured or maybe placed differently to post 98. Would be great to hear your thoughts on them

    Lmao the Japanese people are so polite that they don't want to sing out loud. There's a moment in that concert that I can sense Mariah's a bit frustrated because the people are so polite and she said that it's okay for them to be rude and scream and she loves that haha. She also performed this song in New York, same era, and you can definitely see the difference in the audience behavior lol

    2:28 I believe the background singers did the same thing as the record: “doo doo doo”. Only Mariah does the “dum” on the record on that first bit but she didn’t here.
    And as for the “crack”, it’s an intentional vocal break. I’m not even saying this as a defensive lamb lol, she has cracked on occasion even in her prime but those sound different from this. Consider that she always placed that “crack” on that specific part in all the tour dates. Which means she intended to have that texture and it’s the rule rather than the exception.

    • @SilentAssassin01234
      @SilentAssassin01234 Год назад

      That was crack was not intentional and I am saying this as a hardcore lamb who has seen every live performance by Mariah ever.
      It went off key for a start, she was trying to do an F5 (like the G5 in the remix version with DaBrat). It sounds nothing like an intentional vocal break.

      ​@Robertmeyer7291 it is impossible for sound to come from the diaphragm given the vocal cords are in the throat.
      Singing from the diaphragm is a myth. What people actually mean by that is you need to use your core muscles to support and control your air flow when singing.

    Mariah like Whitney has problem when it comes to endurance , she needed to talk to the audience more often when performing live over an extended period of time. That is why she tend to miss some notes during full concert performances as a result of vocal fatigue. That even reduces the vocal intensity and quality compared to her studio recording. Had he been born in Europe we could have seen a better version of her to what we are familiar of her right now.
