Stevie is a major influence on both Twinkie and Mariah. Great video.
I was just listening to "As". Love Stevie
You NEVER disappoint!!!
Runs are done in the Gospel music and all their vocals are powerful. 💕💕💕💕
Mimi
mariah always credited stevie and aretha, she’s a real one
She’s credited The Clark Sisters a lot also
Waiting for Stevie’s explained. He’s a great vocalist.
Mariah always list Stevie as her great influence!!!
Twinkie is not being talked about enough here. Her singing and vocal arrangement is always so phenomenal. Her singing in ‘power’, ‘He’s worthy to be praised’ and ‘in him there’s no sorrow’ never fail to blow me away. A real gift.
People don’t give credit to Stevie enough to be completely honest. My favorite song of all time is As
he’s genuinely incredible i love himm
There’s just something so special about Mariah’s riffs & runs that just sets her apart from everybody else. It’s like they just fall out of her mouth almost like she doesn’t have to think about doing it, her voice just knows what to do.
That’s what happens when you’re good at runs and scales!
I would like to add that she's artistic with it. She doesn't run just to run; her agility aids in the communication of the song.
Mariah = Magic. Her writing is *cheff's kiss* and yes, she sings like she just though of it and did it. It's insaaaane and amazing.
To me most of her runs and riffs sound forced like a lot of mixed/ biracial singers, especially those who weren't raised around or with black people. Idk if it's because listening to black artists is how they connect/ reconnect with their blackness and so they try to emulate it in their singing voice and style. Like it's clear she didn't grow up singing in black churches or choirs because there's a certain/specific sound and technique used by them that's hard to duplicate in adulthood if you haven't been doing it since youth. It's especially clear to me when they are singing with or in this case compared side by side with them. On their own it works but her singing with Whitney for example is my least favorite song with her because it was natural for Nippy but sounded forced for her trying to sing in the same manner. Another example is when Marsha Ambrosious sang at the Black Girls Rock event one time she seemed out of her element and at first tried to keep up but to me it seems she eventually gave up because she knew it was a losing cause. This can also be true for fully black singers but I find it's the case most of with mixed or biracial ones.
@@shawnie2084 well that’s your opinion & you’re entitled to it.
Brilliant! Twinkie deserves every👏🏿single 👏🏿mention 👏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
All i live for exteneded version has this too
Mariah's major influences are Aretha and Stevie. I love it so much when it shows in her music.
Man I love Twinkie I think she’s the only person in the world if I met I would be star struck.
That's the first thing I thought of when I heard Workin' Hard.
They sound a like because Twinkie studied Stevie and Mariah studied the Clark sisters. #recycling
Stevie’s runs are insane. Especially in his prime years.
I think the style of the run is similar, but not the run itself… however, Stevie Wonder’s influence is definitely heard in Mariah’s music. I’ve always said that “Fourth of July” has a Stevie Wonder feel to it. The way she sings “Intimate Daze” “Thunder Clouds Hung Around So threateningly” “Showering” it’s all Stevie Wonder-esque. If he ever does a tribute song to her, this would be the song for him to do.
2:13 - “they are using the same set of notes, and similar rhythms…despite none of the runs being identical.”
the first three notes they all hit descend the same way, the root note first goes a whole step down and then 3 half-steps down (Mariah and Twinkie: C#-B-G#) (Stevie: G#-F#-D#)
they all continue it differently but those three notes all have the same distances apart
Twinkie was always the female Stevie wonder vocally and musically to me
Thanks for pointing that out Milik........I really hear the 3 different runs, they do sound similar
They’re both inspired by Stevie too
Mariah will always say it's Aretha, Stevie Wonder and the Clark Sisters as her major influences
Stevie Wonder is their favorite artist
I always paired the As vocal lick to Jesus, I’ll Never Forget run 💕💕
YES! Im happy you are shining light on “Workin Hard” b/c its my absolute favorite from Music Box 30! I love when you do Mariah vids on this channel. You used to have alot more Mariah videos but I think the Lambs were coming after you. I think you should put them back up and just ignore. ;)
1:04 - The run reminded me of that TikTok where a girl is riffing and running over Michael Jacksons "Unbreakable" song
exactly what i thought of, wouldn’t be surprised if she was influenced by this
I love your videos and also you sound exactly like Sandi Griffin from Daria
Their runs are fantastic!
Stevie’s runs are just, just, just…I can’t describe it ❤❤❤❤❤
oh definitely! Mariah has always stated she is heavily inspired by Gospel and Stevie, along with a few other solo acts.
Your videos ROCK and are so informative, I like the shorter ones too and how specific you are. As a writer and vocalist I can easily go on piano and play the scales you're referring to in the respective keys you're referring to. It just breaks it down so well and makes it so much easier for us as new writers to be creative. Thank you
Legends all of them but Im biased towards Mariah. She can do SOOOOOO MUCH with voice is unbelievable
It's crazy because they are all vocalist-songwriter. 😊
Go vote Mariah for ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME so she can join Whitney. Kool n the gang is beating her now.💯
As they should...
They should, tbh. She'll get in when it's time, regardless
You can hear how much Stevie and Aretha have always influenced MC. She never hesitates to give them praise. Even her arrangements borrow from Aretha, but because shes a musical genius in her own right she adds alot of who she is. There's always been something about the placement of Mariah's runs that I love. She super agile, but they always make sense. Not a single run feels forced or sloppy. I can't explain it but her runs never take away from the song. The placement is always so good.
Regardless of the scales they singing on all three with the run patterns they were singing on stand out to me. 🤷🏾♂️Lol
Stevie>>>>
When I first heard that ‘Workin’ Hard’ run, I thought of VBA lol. But I hear it now.
When I first heard Twinkie’s run, I immediately thought of Stevie.
And this reminds me of the run Mariah did at the end of ‘Here We Go Around Again’, but that one reminds me of the one VBA did at the end of ‘Pressing On’. Love all these legends.
I’ve never clicked anything so fast! I remember you mentioning this theory!
Your videos are incredible!💕❤️🔥
Whoa I always wondered what was the difference that's awesome I noticed Whitney done that a lot as well
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
First thing I thought about when I heard working hard was Tevin Campbell, but I get it
Awesome episode
Twinkie Clark is run Queen!! Stevie is one of her vocal heroes!!!
I stan Twinkie so much lol
Where is Twinkies video from ?
Can you do an entire video explaining Twinkie vocals please, but folks underrate her vocal genius so often
