Nobody can explain why Mariah's whistle register sound so good
Mariah's voice is truly an instrument !!
8:15 that fly like a bird high note didn't actually show her transition to whistle!! it was after that note where she transitioned to whistle with the phrase "higher, Jesus!"
I know! I am a little irritated that the audio clip stops right before the "higher, Jesus" part because that is what the OP was actually talking about where the whistle happens in the description.
He missed love takes time and vanishing. Bro got no chill
She's 50 singing songs she wrote on her 20's. But even more than that, she's been through a lot in this industry.

Mariah's musical arrangements is ART !
I love and cute how you are being stressed when you heard something impossible to do vocally. 😂😂😂
it's odd in that, I want to sing for people, but I need to do so in a way that plays to my strengths. It's clear that range and whistles are not my strengths haha
Even mariah doesn't know how she can do it. It's just one day waking up she started to talk in whistle. her mom noticed that and didn't like it at first cause she knows mariah can hurt herself.
55:50 This is one of the things you should analyze next, It's the epitome of the vocal slayage. Considered by many the greatest vocal performance ever recorded in the studio. 10 minutes of remix. It's called Anytime you Need a friend C&C club remix
This remix is outrageous!
@@brianmiller5955 it's literally one of the best recordings ever 😩
which recording is it? for some reason I can't open the time stamp on my phone.
@@LesageSinging this is the recording he's talking about.

@@LesageSinginghi, can you do a Mariah marathon? It’s her birthday/anniversary tomorrow@27th of March. Thank you
Mariah is so vocally versatile!
Its Incredible
It's scary
This is why I will always say Mariah is one of, if not the greatest recording vocalist of all time. 🤷🏽♀️
another outstanding head to whistle transition mariah did is in o holy night (2000) ! beautiful song, really. it also shows her strength not only in hitting the upper belts, but also in sustaining them.
great suggestion! i actually prefer the 1994 version but 2000 is still good!!
@@milanpop16 I agree, I feel like the adlibs added in 2000 were unnecessary and lowered the quality of the song
@@NovaContext yes and i prefer the use of her lower register at the beginning of the 1994 version instead of the whispering
@@milanpop16 fr, her low notes were so rich and powerful, and they've only improved in ease and tone throughout the years
@@NovaContext i think i prefer her low notes to her whistles (which i still love ofc)
This whole video explains why lambs been 'screaming' Mariah is the GOAT! 😂😂😂😂😂😂. I mean, cuz we do realize about her greatness but we just don't have the 'education' background like our lovely vocal teacher here, (thank you dahling), to explain. 😂😂😂😂
And for me, this video, at least this one video also explains why I never agree to put Mariah in the "Vocal Trinity". Cuz for me, she is more than that! Not to degrade the other two Queens, no way, they're both my favs too, but when it comes to Mariah, I mean, I can't even explain. At least this video does. She's just so ✨ miraculous ✨ .
That beatbox you did there. We see it.
Trueeee i entered a choir in our university because of mariah. Mariah made me want to sing. Tho my range is lower yet don't know how to use it. Mariah helped me on how to do it by copying the low notes in her songs. Now my range is from 2nd bass to 2nd tenor. Thanks prof mariah ❤️
That's cool!
that's awesome. being inspired by folks is an awesome part of this whole musical journey.
I love your analysis of Mariah’s vocals SO MUCH! I’m a huge Mariah fan (and huge music fan in general) and I always look forward to your new reaction videos. Mariah is an amazing MUSICIAN and it’s so great to hear someone acknowledge that. Looking forward to your next video!
It still blows my mind that all the voices in Vision of Love is Mariah Carey.
i love how literally EVERY second of that video is worth analyzing 😭
I will forever use that “most people whistle are like a radish you got one thing going on but Mariah’s whistle is like a onion it has many many layers and it makes people cry”
this is one of the best videos ever created in honor of Mariah. I usually send this video to my friends (just to amaze them) 😅
19:11 ITS NOT THE FACT THAT SHE CAN DO IT, SHE’S MAKING MUSIC WITH IT !!!!!
And that’s why no one else could never ! Truly iconic and legendary.
On 8:15 thats her head voice but idk why the whistle was cut... She transitions it to a whistle on the song
Every Mariah record is a Masterpiece.
I am glad you talked about Ariana's "My Hair"
Her whistle there was good, like really good, but when it comes to 'artistic and elegant way' of using whistle register in a song, I'd listen more to Mariah's "Bliss"
Angel’s Cry is probably the only song from her that I treasure the most. It’s literally heaven to the ears.
Sorry that's my most skip song for her. Maybe because this was overhyped during its era in the Philippines. I was not a lamb that time lol
Mariah's vocal biology is freaky!
One of her longest whistle register moments in one breath is about 20+ seconds and it has a lot of vocal gymnastics and tones to it! In the song “for the record! “
Her octave in whistle register spans from the low 5th octave, all of 6th, all of 7th and her background singers have heard her go off the piano 🎹 8th
This i totally agreed one of my vocal teacher was doing vocal exercises wit me....she told me mariahs' range is off the piano keys ....n she is both major in piano n voice n she told me this in the year 1997/8 🥰🥰🥰
Another thing when she’s not rested her nodules are acting up plays a factor . Quarantine her resting has done wonders for her voice the last couple years . Mariah voice is truly an instrument.
This was one of the first videos I recommended you to watch!! I'm so glad you had, it's simply amazing what she can do with her voice. It would be awesome if you take a chance to analyze Mariah Carey's cover for I wanna know what love is originally by Foreigner. Her best live performances of this is on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Allan Karr show and UK X Factor! In the electric guitar example the song is called Bringing on the Heartache which is a cover of a Deff Leopard song and with her voice she is mimicking the electric guitar from the original song
I love when you do Mariah! She makes some of the coolest choices with her music, I stay amazed ♡♡
by the way, congratulations on reaching 10K subscribers!!!
Look for Mariah’s Angel (Prelude) acapella. It’s a whole minute of whistles.
It took 100 years to studies Mariah's voice
mariah once said in an interview that she sings through her nodules, and whistles differently around them, which is why theres so many different tones she can use her whistles through also probably why she never got rid of the nodules her whole career she sings with them, there are other artist though that dont use nodules or have them like chante moore that can change the pitch and tone of the whistles (not like mariah, but still), people said she'd never be a singer with nodules.... welp that didnt age well, if your also wondering how her lows are so low nodules she apparently had them since she was a kid.
Mariah IS music!
Indeed a God's gift from heaven! Love Mariah for life🦋❤️
Omg 1hr and 9mins vid! And I AM READY!
and I cut it down too! 😂
You need to listen to the intro of her song "You're so cold" that alone runs through 3 entire octaves. Is a distroyer of careers for other artists. Also I think you will really appreciate her 2006 Grammy Nominee song "Mine again", her 2005v live performance of We belong together at the BET Blueprint Special, the way she performed the climax is unbelievable and the last C5 is outstanding.
I totally agree about different approaches to masterful singing! Sooo many master singers! Although she is really good at knowing her own voice and does it masterfully! Thank you🥰💕😇
Mariah's don't need a instrument because she is instrument
Difficulty Level of Mariah songs = Vocal suicide!
all of her song is suicide because her tone
Because Mariah Carey wasn't "properly" trained but guided her own lessons from her mother, an opera singer she only considers the limitations of her voice not what most people would consider difficult or genre bending. What you say about timing she would probably just say that she didn't notice that she just thought that it sounds good.
I think the overwhelming majority of people operate that way. The most talented people I ever met just played around passionately and got some help whenever they got stuck. Whereas, if I didn't find my voice and speech pathologist teacher, I would have quit singing because nothing was working.
Mariah is a gift to us and her voice and talent is a gift from above.
Mariah just dont sing, her style, technique etc sets her above the rest. She is the Empress of whistle & Songbird Supreme
Your explanation is amazing. And did you beat box? Thats awesome.
#EmpressOfWhistle #SongbirdSupreme #MarahCarey
Congrats on the 10k! For real tho I just checked it last night and it was 9.3k or something. Your channel is growing faster 🎉
I just love this woman.
Mariah was never a show off vocally, she always delivers the most suitable note for the song .sometimes she hits the highest notes and sometimes the whole song would be in the whispery airy register with more lower notes . she's a MUSICIAN!!!
Mariah tone constantly changes and when that happens her whistle tone also changes like music box whistles were full and thick and daydreams were very airy
45:48 - she’s got whistles as low as F5 I think, and head notes as high as G6. But the interplay of those registers allows for that. The real transition point for her seems to be B5-Eb6.
her whistle in I Want To Know What Love Is one of my favorites
Her whistles are definitely the best out there, but I think I keep coming back to Mariah for her genius as a recording artist. She also is super smart and hires the best back up singers so as to recreate those over dubs live.
I can't think of anyone who does vocal overdubs better.
Her first album was recorded when she was 18-20, she has studio work from age 12-18
16:51 - by my experience, it often is. It can be airy, thin, full, bright, twangy, metallic, powerful, even conversational… and it can be hard to hone in on what will come out and to connect that with instinctual singing. But it becomes more expressive over time.
We need Thyroid Tilt Merch!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I think I should get a merch shelf soon. Thanks for this idea!
More than one hour and I would stay another one easily here. 😊😊😊 I think you said exactly how we feel. She is the write and producer of the majority of this songs. So understand her choices and visualize the different things she does to accomplishing her goals makes us feel so much closer to her. Thank you very much for that! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷 #Lamb4Life #MariahCarey
I already saw the stream but I'll watch again 😌
Do you even sleep? 😅
@@somespecies no 🙃
Really when? Im not awareeeeeee
@@loudeillunzaga4476 I believe the stream was 3:30am in our time last Monday that's why I asked Cody if he ever sleeps lol
@@codywalsh2075 Oh. Atleast there's someone ready to defend the queen at all times. (Like on the Eminem debacle last night lmao)
Ok. My new favorite vocal teacher ❤️
Thanks so much for the reaction, we love Mariah Carey 🥰😍
OMG YESSS THANK YOU
The 1 Hour Lesage video we’ve all been waiting for
👏👏👏 congratulations on 10k
That talk about bow placement on violin brought me BACK! “Near the bridge for brighter tones!” Made me miss Orchestra in high school.
Another Mariah video WOOO!🎉
Mariah Carey’s new persona Musical Mastermind.
This is the most energetic I've seen of you so far 😅
I also never thought the Fly Like a Bird crescendo was whistle. I thought she was in head voice. She was in Capri when she recorded the vocals and has always stated the salty air does wonders to her voice - so she could have been in really great vocal shape the day of recording. But as you stated, we'll just never know.
The scientific dorkery is why I subscribed 👏👏👏
*corrects glasses* thank you
Please also check out her acapella recordings: Sugar Plum Fairy and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Vocal Empress!
Hey, Coach!
Remember when I commented about your videos' sound few weeks ago and you actually replied? It's so much better now. Congrats.
I love you. We love you.
I'm in a part of the world wherein I'm supposed to be asleep but you... 🥺. Thank you again sir for an amazing reaction. 🥰🥰🥰
#lfl
YAAAAASSSSSS
YEEEESSSS!
Ian, with the holidays fast approaching, PLEASE do a Mariah Christmas reaction video, with her greatest xmas performances.
Including duet with her mother (O Come all ye faithful), O holy Night and duet with Ariana (Oh Santa)
Love your channel
you really need to check out o holy night acapella without background parts, its on youtube
the part where you weren't sure if it was a whistle you kept stopping the video before you heard the actual whistle, she sings "higher jesus" in the whistle register on that song called Fly Like A Bird
44:01 - it doesn’t denote a voice type as it’s a technique (someone can learn it), but it also does because it is generally better achieved through a lighter or lightened instrument. This is why dramatic coloratura voices are considered so rare.
One of my vocal teacher told me to study/analyze/learn a mariah songs took like 1-2 weeks but songs like the other two divas which i do not wan to mention names.....took only hours n the most probably half a day
French actually :) “Flageolet register” admittedly is sometimes used to describe a whistle voice that is connected well to the modal range - so not thin or lacking in timbre but with some resonance of the CT and TA muscles. Basically a head-whistle mix - or even, what head voice is to falsetto, flageolet is to whistle. This is how I use the term.
All that said, she’s phenomenal and I’m looking forward to learning more from this vid.
Where I take issue with is the confidence folks have in their description. Not much is known about whistle. The people who spend their lives studying this stuff, and pioneering what humans know about the voice, do not know how whistle works.
It's fine for folks to make descriptions of the aesthetic and take guesses, but I get miffed when folks lay it down as if it's a fact.
@@LesageSinging There are some things we do know. From what I have learned and can tell:
• Whistle voice is formed when the folds are closed together, allowing air to flow past the outer edges of the vocalis muscle more dominantly than along the CT and TA membranes.
• It can be reached via constriction of the epiglottis to cause air to flow past the larynx, but it can also occur more gently.
• Whistle voice (m3) does occur as a successive register to head voice (m2), in a way similar to how vocal fry (m0) precedes chest voice (m1). It comes with a passaggio at the outer ends of the adjacent modal register’s range (usually around A5-E6 for whistle) and can be incorporated with the adjacent modal register to create a fuller sound.
• Whistle voice, when disconnected, like a disconnected head voice can do to upper chest voice, can atrophy the upper notes of head voice.
• Likewise, as belting heavily in chest voice can also cause weakness in approaching the m2 register, using an open pharyngeal head voice can make it harder to access whistle, because the folds aren’t constricting at all, just as the folds aren’t thinning out much if someone belts with a lot of weight all the time to ascend into head voice.
• It can help to sing whistle on an Ah or Ee vowel: the first one allows the air to pass through openly and for m2 resonance to come in, the second one allows for the voice to constrict and thus learn the action of letting air phonate past the vocalis.
Letting the voice sing in a connected whistle, just as does it learn through a connected m2, allows the voice to thin out more readily and thus sing agilely as it cascades along its wide range, as well as powerfully without the expense of uppermost notes or straining.
• While head is complemented by whistle and chest by fry, fry is a sort of inverse to whistle, which involves fast shuttering of glottal closure, while whistle involves sustained contraction of the folds together to create a thin, potentially squeaky or metallic sound. Indeed a slide from fry straight to whistle can be easier at first than fry -> chest -> head -> whistle.
• It is likely harder to descend from whistle back to head than the reverse of that, more so than descending from falsetto back into chest, because the voice has a tendency to constrict to create whistle tones as mentioned. Un-constricting the voice can be a counterintuitive process that is hard to negotiate in a split second. Even Mariah, Minnie, and Ari have generally all used their whistle voices separate from other registers, and their slides upward often involve a transition note (usually around A5-C6), which is held before ascending to m3. Otherwise there is usually an abrupt jump to precede it, or nothing at all. Even Mariah Carey has seldom ever done lexical melodies that glide upward from head into whistle directly and smoothly. “Fly Like a Bird” is a prime exception… in which case anyway the F6 of the phrase is sustained before entering the A6 portion.
• Like in head voice, but all the more so, whistle can be strengthened through introducing nasal resonance, as well as AES twang. This can allow the register to have a rounder sound with more present overtones (gradual spectral tilt). Like with all registers barring fry this naturally happens as the register ascends in pitch.
• While it is considered an advanced or auxiliary technique, and while certain singing voices benefit from its absence or would find it redundant, the register is useful in thinning out the voice as well as in adding overtonal content to the voice throughout its range.
My favourite video of yours Ian!
You missed the sustained E7 in “I wish you well” was hidden in the background.
Someone shud do a study n thesis on mariahs' vocal ability
Mariah’s whistles are even louder acapella and without a microphone.
He’s gagged lol I love this
The intro was so annoying. You were nit picking every word. At the end of those explanation basically you agreed 😂
You keep stopping before the end 😁
It was blocked before I cut it down. Trust me, I'm not editing because it's fun 😂
Staccato whistles too
Ok one problem I have your reactions is that you don't always let the entire section your about to watch before you start to critique it. Try to have/watch all the info first before commenting on something. Example the section that talked abiut about Mariahs resonance. You didn't let the video play out before commenting. When you do that you miss out on certain details as to why the video might've said something. Just an advice.
And then the vid gets blocked. Take it up with RUclips.
@@LesageSinging I'm not saying watch the entire video first. Just maybe thr sections your gonna critique. I promise you they won't block your video.
The singer Chante Moore can articulate words in her whistle register too.
On the register change. This is interesting. I mentioned this the other day in a comment. I can't always do it but back in my university days by the time I had my final teacher she couldn't hear where my break was. Although, I must say that sometimes I cheated and was already in my upper register on the lower notes. I tended to switch early so that when I arrived at the pitch (I don't remember anymore what note it is/was) I did't have that obvious flip when singing classical.
I wish I still had the really high notes. But I started practicing with vowels and words up high, but I can't always do it because when I get way up high my throat is often open and larynx is dropped somewhow... I am now typong as I try different things and disproving half of what I type, letting me know I have been lazy for quite awhile LOL.
Oh when whe did "On, and on, and on..." it was much more than pretty. That was pure sexy. haha
I still haven’t watch the video and IM SO EXCITED !!!!!!!!!!! Omg !!!
I won’t come back to tell you what I think because I’m gonna say it right now : you are the best ! And we love Queen Mariah 🥰🥰🥰
Please please PLEASE react to Make It Happen live at Zurich 2003 Mariah was on FIRE there
Yassss, but one thing for any mariah video (im talking about while you are streaming), dont fast forward cause there are many snippets or short audio of her voices that you will miss, like the one in chest to head to whistle transition, she actually did transition to whistle but you stop at the head voice, so you were right, it was not whistle but rather a headvoice the moment you stopped the video. Greatttt analysis!!
Exactly
Noted! This is twice now I've made this error live. I sometimes worry about the stream getting taken down, but its only ever happened once and it ended quickly. I can probably do more.
5:48 the power that that has, the implications that that has...
You’re my new fave..
I was so angry every time you skip something ! It’s like i see you!
Polyphonic whistles too but those weren’t in this video
I love how Lisage spent 2 minutes talking about how people like overusing hyperboles and the rest about how the things shown on the video being understatements of this woman’s talent.
12:33 - which is wild because her voice is not naturally all that high!!
in the song Fly Like A Bird if you had let the song play till the end instead of cutting the song off you would have heard the transition into her whistle phrase "higher jesus"
Unfortunately, if I don't edit things down quickly, I cannot accrue enough Adsense to pay my mortgage. I assure you I really don't like having to cut these videos up.
It might just be because the notes are so super high that whistle sounds so different?my voice is very much capable of whistle, even forming words, and i think it sounds pretty different depending on the vowel. All that being said, i am terrible at commanding and controlling this part of my voice 🤷🏻♂️
Beats me ha. I don't bother with whistle stuff personally. It's super cool though.
Thank you for your videos. That’s all haha
I can just watch him again and again😭
