      ​@@brentthompson1607 yep it's because she had nodules since birth which was responsible for the inconsistency. But also, her vocal decline, where her voice really sounded tired was 1997 - 2004 as she entered a new vocal prime 2005 onwards. 2005 she made the song of the decade

      @@Swahili14 what are you saying? Mariah and Whitney at their primes had very similar power and tone. Mariah chose to use her voice differently. Whitney was a great singer.....she used her voice as a singer only. Long notes, belting....that was boring to Mariah who is an excellent songwriter. Mariah used her voice like a guitar. Belting a note for 15 sec was just too easy and boring to her creatively evern though I love it when she does it and would love for her to do more of that. You're talking nonsense. Cheers. Both wonderful singers...different choices vocally. If Mariah did the same things WHitney and Celine did vocally she'd be a copycat forever....she did her best to be different.

I've worked in the US, the UK, Portugal and Brazil in the music industry. I've actually worked with the same company that used to manage WHitney in the UK Marshall Arts Talent. Anyway....weird enough huh? In regards to both singers all singers have to lip synch at times, I've seen both of them live several times actually. Both are amongst the greatest singers who have ever graced the mic. the level of difficulty of Mariah's songs is higher and much more demanding than that of WHitney's and that happens because Mariah was the songwriter and set the bar to levels that caused her to have nodules. Mariah has written some of the hardest songs ever made, imagine having to sing them one after another. Both are amazing singers who used their voices differently yet had very similar tones and power at their prime. Stop trying to put these people against one another. They've actually enjoyed and respected each other. You are the wierdo....stop the hatred. It is all in your head.

    The fact that this was the year of Mariah's vocal decline. I mean her worst year!! Due to stressful reasons because drinking, pills, her ex-husband/divorce harassing her at this time and had a lot of the music industry turn on her. The fact she showed up and still did this at her worst is honestly amazing! & Besides all of that. It's amazing how truly gifted Mariah is. She literally sang through the whole entire song from down to up and up and down the scale. Keeping the song together and the melody in the right track.. Staying on key and also balancing out Whitney's parts! Her microphone was also having problems that day. Back stage her and Whitney swapped mics before the performance. & a lot of it was a bit out of sync. & The fact Mariah wasn't just having vocal problems and mic problems. People really underestimate the fact that the sheer power in her resonance. The way it matched and even in some parts went above Whitney's power. & you could tell every time Mariah's resonance was overpowering even with the lowerness of her Microphone. Whitney in my opinion looked like she had to add some extra runs while Mariah was really just trying to keep the entire song together traditionally and on top of that adding some extra stuff. & i love that! Two of the best amazing vocalists of ALL TIMES!

      I really wish fans would stop perpetuating this crap. Mariah didn't have drinking or pill problems. She had a crazy ex and was working on multiple projects all the time in studio, she didn't have much of a voice left when it came to live, but still managed it here. She had meds in 2013 when she got help for her bipolar disorder, was seen with her pills once, and was immediately called an addict and everyone brought it up as if it was always a thing. She immediately stopped taking them and stopped getting help because gossip folks didn't know what they were talking about. She should've never been put in that position. After Mariah left Mottola they tried to pass her off as a party girl and took pictures of her holding a glass of wine. It's a party, she's always had drinks at parties like everyone else. She was never drunk and worked 24/7 until she got married at 40! All your doing is perpetuating Mottola's BS who's pressed because she left him and wanted off his label.

      This one is more difficult because it had a very loud choir and they needed someone with a big chest to cut through the orchestra and choir... Oprah had a small choir and a band , so the production is far smaller. This was an orchestral production and the Oprah was a small studio sound.

    This made my day. Maybe my week. On so many levels. First, the performance itself was spine-tingling. I almost never goosebump, but that note just before the choir emerged set my skin on fire. The fact that this song was composed and arranged for two Legends to arrange and recompose was itself a Miracle. I may be having a brain cramp, but I can't see how this can be duplicated, ever, given the class, style, talent, swag, sweetness, and sheer synergy of these two.
    Then there is your fandom, and what this song means to you.
    The video means so much to my family, as well. When my late son had gathered up some childhood birthday cash to spend, this is the video he wanted to buy. And, we all got to know this video very, very well. Because of Dave, this video means so much to me.
    Knowing this was your first visualization of these two goddesses together, live, I leaned right into it. I loved every part of your reaction, your comments, and especially the microexpressions of delight on your face. When you used the term "Butter", I was already reading your mind. Smooth. Rich. Soul-satisfying. What more could you want?
    Thank you for sharing something so personal. This reaction really stands out, and that is saying a Lot.

    I prefer the Oprah arrangement for the performance because they did the whole song there and it was done a year before without an orchestra!
    I think they were definitely both tired here but Whitney's resonance shines THROUGH!! And you're right "post-prime" Whitney was still A+MAZING!
    I'm glad Mariah never lost her ability to transition even now but her mic seems to be turned down? Idk but props to her for getting through the new arrangement while also being tired and exhausted with not just nodules but her current career situation at the time. She was being pushed to the limits by her label after her divorce💀

      Whitney was nowhere near tired here. Makes no sense why Mariah's mic would be turned down and not Whitney's. No they both did what they're voices allowed them to do on this given day. I'm sure for events such as this everyone is going to do a sound check with all that's needed. Let's not event things. I've seen Whitney perform while seemingly tired. This is not one of those times. Mariah's voice allowed her tome quality to be better at her Oprah performance than on this. Nothing wrong with that. Out of all the people Whtney can be seen doing duets with Mariah, CeCe, BeBe Winans, Her brother Gary, Stevie Wonder, her cousin Dionne, her ex-Bobby, Mariah is the only one whose mic is turned down? Lol Anyone pushing that narrative sounds ridiculous. Please stop! A shame you all will praise Whitney giving her all while singing with all others or killing it on her own songs yet can't do it while it's with Mariah. Instead would rather make up bogus claims. Just sad

    Oh noooo lol the Oprah performance was so much better. You should check it out (do not necessarily have to film a video for it).
    They both seems fatigued. Mariah's mic seemed to be on a lower volume than Whitney's and her voice was going through it during that time (No rest, nodules, stressful divorce, label pressure-- people don't realize how these things affected her). This wasn't Whitney's prime but she did great though.
    Overall, they held it together.

    The excuses everyone makes for Mariah anytime compared to Whitney are hilarious. Whitney was going through JUST as much or MORE than Mariah at this exact same time. They were both amazing vocalists. Whitney being the GOAT is never going to change because of the excuses. Mariah is a genius as well but it makes no sense to make excuses for one and not the other. They both had issues period!

    • @meepmeep3151
      @meepmeep3151 2 года назад +7

      but it's really unnecessary to compare the two anyways, especially during this performance. The excuse is, mariah had her mic lowered because she's just recovering from bronchitis, which people like to criticize because all they can point out is mariah cant be heard and refuse to believe Whitney had mishaps in this performance. Generally speaking, when people say Whitney drowns Mariah out any day, obviously she does because her voice type suits a much darker and louder voice whereas Mariah's voice is a much lighter. Now picture that and apply it to this performance. These may seem like excuses, but they aren't. These are facts that debunk these unnecessary comparisons that shouldn't have been talked about in the first place. One has a naturally louder voice, one has a naturally softer voice. There's literally no comparison as they are different, and there's no point in it.

      - she must have UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL, and COLORFUL VOCALS with DIFFERENT CAPABILITIES (high low notes, airy and whispery vocals, falsetto, whistle, etc.)
      - MASTER OF TRANSITIONS.
      - CAN SING ANY GENRE
      - WRITES HER OWN MUSIC.

    I can't remember if this is the real story but I seem to recall hearing that they may not have done a rehearsal and that - though she obviously sounded amazing - Whitney may have been changing her harmony lines in response to a vocal condition or something else. Which was why there were two instances where they didn't mesh exactly and had to be corrected. I do love how they changed up that very last run/phrase though. It was subtle but very beautiful.
