EDIT: (TIMELINE AND SONGS I USED IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX) About the video: Some ppl did not get the concept. I'm pointing differences not to bring someone down to value another singer. My concept has the opposite purpose. It's like " stop comparing tthem and appreciate them individually for the talent they have." About Christina: I've called her non technical because she said it herself. She said herself her singing was more focused on intuition and style. I praised every part of her register (but mixed voice technique) so please stop being offended by that and focusing on that point. And sorry some of you told me that i mistake some vocal types I'll correct it with annotations. The video was very long to make. I'm usually clumsy (my old subs would know) and I really lost my concentration at times doing that. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any recommendation.
@@pantherseye I mean Britney was trained from a young age and was continuing to be trained even more after she finished high school and was about to get signed she was planning on doing a R&B album they complained she sounded to mature for her age said no one wants to hear a white girl trying to sound like Toni Braxton and other stupid things like her real voice would never sell pop records luckily she could dance because that saved her career they put that baby voice on her and actually had someone train her to sing in that tone which hurt her voice even Ariana said she had to stop doing Britney impressions because it was hurting her singing voice imagine doing that the majority of your career she always sung better live also when she was singing more deeper and dancing less
@@idonteperfect6943 she hardly ever sang live though so I’m very reluctant to believe these theories that it messed up her voice. As though she would have been Whitney Houston otherwise. Please.
@@pantherseye i think she had potential. Her true voice is a little fuller and deeper. It's not really a pop voice. I think what she wanted to do was more rnb pop.
I love Mariah and I love Ariana but people need to stop comparing them!! They both have ruled the charts IN THEIR OWN WAYS. They both have shown love to eachother on social media platforms. Mariah DOES NOT HATE ARIANA! I just need the lambily and the arianators to be more lenient and be more respectful towards eachother because these 2 women are both AMAZING. BOTH INCREDIBLE!!!!
They’re not “both incredible” so let’s cut the crap. Ari, as much as I love her music, does not posses anywhere near the vocal prowess that Mariah had during her prime. Mariah sang with emotion AND technicality, but Ariana only sounds pretty when she sings; not having any emotion whatsoever. and you know why they compare mariah and Ariana? Bcus Ariana is on her 6th album yet is still in Mariah’s shadow and is basically a watered down copycat of her Edit: I want add more bcus I don’t want to seem like I hate Ariana cus I’m a fan of hers. But I’m not delusional. I want to add some praise to how she utilizes her voice, bcus she NEVER misses live, and even when she was lying upside down, she still had very strong vocals. That’s impressive af. I know with Ariana’s, that I won’t feel uncomfortable hearing her sing, bcus she always is great live. One of her idols is Whitney, so I feel like she was inspired by how she preserved her voice bcus I can see a small similarity there
no no no. we already treat each other (lambs & arianators) like a mother-daughter fandom since like 2018. its just the jurassic era lambs who still dislike ariana for no reason.
i hate people. they always put woman against each other, and never men. a woman makes a song about sex, everyone attacks her. men do it. and then what? nothing. how abt we pit no one against each other, and stop attacking grown people for doing what they want
I know right. Ikr and when are compared it's usually because of praise. Eg The Weeknd has the same voice like MJ. If there are unhealthy types of comparisons for men the controversy is quickly shut down whereas for women it's encouraged and even goes on for years with people starting to make rumors that the artists hate each other. I'm not surprised because the music industry also promotes this as in the people behind the scenes like the directors and managers. A good example is the Cardi B/Nicki hate. Nicki never said anything bad about cardi, but Cardi let the money and the fans get to her head. That's how the Niki bandwagon hate started. Like where's the respect for hardworking women 💔.
No. Actually, Michael Jackson has been compared a lot. Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, BTS and countless others have been compared to him. John Lennon and Paul McCartney have been pitted against each other since time immemorial and it ultimately led to the split of the Fab Four. Michael was compared to Elvis. Coldplay was compared with The Beatles and Queen. Queen and Rolling Stones were pitted against each other. Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem have all suffered this pitting. BTS is being called the new Beatles. This was in existence since long. Whenever you start to grow a lot in people's eyes, people will try to replace you.
@Anime King extremely stupid whenever Aaliyah is brought up people can’t help making the “if she was still alive Beyoncé wouldn’t have made it” comment
@Anime King Thats cause just before dying Aaliyah was the Hit Black Girl, liked by the Hip-Hop industry, she was young and beautiful. So Aaliyah’s fans were mad that another beautiful black girl like Beyoncé have the success their fav had.
I don't get why ppl say that Aaliyah would be bigger than Bey, cause if we check the receipts... Beyoncé #1 hits with DC before Aaliyah's death in 2001: "Bills Bills Bills", "Say My Name", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious" Total: 4 Aaliyah #1 hits before her death in 2001: "Try Again" Total: 1 Aaliyah was big but Beyoncé was huger, rest in peace tho, i love them both.
Can you imagine the vocal potential Britney would have achieved if she wasn’t under her label ? I’ve never seen a great powerful voice been tear down the way her voice was. Almost criminal right there.
one thing I hate with comparaison is when people act like no one else but their fave can sing. Like your fave might be better and on an higher level but that doesn't mean the other sounds terrible
this and the fact that it’s perfectly okay for one to excel at one field over the other while not taking away the overall talents of them both. like i go to ariana for airy light vocals, but go to demi for rich deep vocals. but that doesn’t inherently make one better than the other like for realll...
In the words of Ariana: what is wrong to be compared with the best vocalist on the planet (Mariah) ? Nothing is actually a huge compliment... Mariah was the blue print whether you agreed or not. She is queen period.
Whitney and Mariah doesn’t really make sense either. Their styles are so different so it doesn’t even make sense to compare them, they were only compared in the first place prolly bc Mariah gave Whitney competition when she came out as Whitney was the main vocalist pop girl for a bit at the time
To be fair, Mariah’s debut tone and vocal qualities shared similarities with Whitney’s despite them being almost completely opposite of each other style wise.
@@idontevenknowok8159 well ig it’s fair to say they have some things in common here and there like some tone similarities, but their styles are just about different things. Mariah prioritizes brightness and while Whitney does as well, she also incorporates a more aggressive and dark approach contrastingly. To sum my point up, I just feel like Whitney’s focus is more on dynamics and Mariah’s is more on vocal acrobatics
@Penny Perry I know you're a Whitney stan but calling Mariah a Studio Singer?? really?? isn't 30 years of career, tours, SINGING long enough for you?? Mariah said enough! stop hating on her!
It was all Motola's conspiracy. He pushed Mariah to sound in a particular way, just to draw comparisons. If Motola was not so evil, Whitney and Mariah would have been friends since day 1.
There is a particular Whitney stan here who is also a hooligan Mariah troll. Don't y'all think you are all alone? Literally nobody but Whitney stans call Mariah a studio singer. The obsession is real. Stop this shit.
People need to put some respect on Mariah's name tbh. I think people forget she's legend status because she tries to stay current and is always releasing new music. Not saying Ariana can't sing, she defo can. But there's a reason why MC is an icon, legend, worthy contender for GOAT etc along with the likes of Whitney, Stevie, Aretha etc. It would be better to say Ariana has been influenced by MC vocally. But to compare the two as if they're in someway equal is borderline disrepectful to MC in my opinion. Ariana's only been here 5 minutes and no doubt will go down as a fantastic singer - MC has been slaying for 20+ years and will go down as one of the greatest vocalists male or female to stand behind a microphone - huge difference. Not even trying to throw shade here.
@@pip000hi17 Longevity is only one factor. Who knows where Ariana will be in 5 or 10 years. Hopefully still successful. The point remains that Mariah is arguably the greatest vocalist (male or female) of all time - Ariana is not (by a long shot). There really is no comparison or competion here.
The current generation always loves to see legends in their own pop icons. The legends Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson (also Madonna) have remained the standards and the face of comparisons since ages because the general public have always wanted to replace them. But these are just momentary popular opinions, in the long run people realize that legends shall remain legends while the rest shall only be seen as cheap imitation acts. These comparisons do nothing but extend the legacy of these artists.
Also Whitney, there are so many comments people make about “She is the next Whitney Houston”, where singing like Whitney has become a standard and people try to imitate her sound. Sometimes it can get annoying that they don’t try to find their own style and voice but there’s a reason they look up to her because she is a legend.
@@manuelt966 Oh yes definitely. Whitney has inspired a whole generation of wannabes. But the case with Whitney is that nobody has the audacity to consider an imitation "better" than Whitney. Glennis Grace is never seen as better than Whitney. But in case of Michael, Madonna and Mariah, people are somehow able to gather the audacity to call the imitation in the same lane as the originals, and a sect also considers them better. Beyonce is considered better than Michael by some. Ariana/Christina is considered better than Mariah by some. Gaga is considered better than Madonna by some. These are the stans and they have the audacity to attack the legend fans too. That doesn't happen in Whitney's case. That is the only reason I excluded her.
The one that is not here but had me slam on the ground is when judges from The Masked singer compared THE TORI KELLY to Cabello like-💀 thats a disrespect as hell....
Another reason why Ariana is compared to Mariah is because her song The Way. She literally used Mariahs technique in her backing vocals of the chorus. “I love the way you make me feel, I love it...” when it first came on the radio everyone thought Mariah was featured on the song. Great marketing strategy for sure but it definitely took awhile to Ariana to find her own style.
Wdym she used Mariah’s technique? You mean the breathy vocals? In my opinion that was more of a influence thing than a marketing tactic which is kinda weird you say that like you know for sure. Regardless, the hate Ariana got and still gets just from being compared to Mariah is insane
That baby voice is iconic though. Too bad it's the total opposite of her natural singing voice. Makes you really wonder what was going through the producer's head at that time.
Ummm Have you guys really looked into Normani? Although here team are not letting her be great, because we can have a dark skinned girl taking over the majority white, light skinned, racially ambiguous female music industry. But... Have you really listened to Normani? Do you know she can hit all types of notes that Beyonce could never (including the whistle note) Have you sense Normani (AMA) 2018 performance with Khalid? Where she embodied Beyonce's stage presence! Did you see her on dancing with the stars? The one where, even Kelly Clarkson had to stop her in the middle of her red carpet interview to tell her how good her rehearsal was.
@@Monroestevens306 man I love normani but her whistle note is weak compared to others who can do it( mariah, ariana, morrisette amon) and also she is not consistent and beyonce does not have whistle note bcoz all her ranges are connected fully therefore she has a fully developed head voice which she is a master in , normani was not even the best singer in 5th harmony even though she is my favs, ally and dinah are much more stronger singers, normani needs to work on here voice, and u cant compare her to beyonce who is a star rated vocalist and the only one in the modern day popular music after mariah, so.. just bcoz u can hit whistle notes does not mean u r a better singer
@@lydob2471 actually normani whistle notes are better than Arianna, ari admits that she doesn't like doing that note bc ita isnt her strong suit that's why ari barely does them and when she do it's either a hit or miss. Normani actually is really good with falsettos and whistle register and I wish she have a vocal coach that can make it stronger.
I think Christina is actually a Soprano, because her head voice, her speaking voice (and her singing voice when she’s not straining) are very light and nothing like a mezzosoprano like Beyoncé (Beyoncé is coloratura mezzosoprano, that’s the highest variation of the mezzos and her voice has been always darker than Christina’s)
@@shadowcArey I'm not really sure about her vocal type. She was like a Soprano in her debut, but became a Mezzo after a decade. Many fans noticed that she has a habit of speaking higher of pitch in her voice up during interviews, so it is not her real voice.
@@isaacfiedler9404 that’s the point! Generally the speaking voice is lower or in the same key than the singing voice. When she’s not using that false timbre, she can sing higher and more comfortable with high notes, not like a mezzo. Like in a clip she did an Eb5 singing Stone Cold, (she lowered her larynx, but wasn’t with that strain she generally does), she didn’t sounded like a mezzo, she sounded more like a lyric soprano.
Yes! Thanks for putting the Christina and Britney comparison. I'm a huge fan of Xtina, but I don't hate Britney. However, for me always was an absurd comparison, since both artists are very different! Great video, always!
I feel like so many comparisons come from fashion (Lady Gaga and Katy , Madonna) or a societal obsession with Who’s Up Next, The Next _______ (Normani and B, ari and mariah, even Whitney and Jennifer). I think a part of it is that we naturally want to find patterns and often grab the first thing instead of looking deeper
I think the main problem is that people even compare artists to other artists at all. No one is ever going to be Beyonce because she is her. No one is ever going to be the next Brian McKnight because he is him. Even though they can each be out into a voice classification, they will still sound different with different abilities and different flaws and different positive traits to their voice. Let artists be themselves and sound like themselves, then decide if you like that sound or not and keep it moving. So many people are annoying when it comes to wanting to compare one singer to another. (Not you ladies specifically, I mean in general.)
I love when you put Mariah and Beyonce on the thumb. It's pathetic they just compare women. I don't see that with Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Drake, Sam Smith, Justin Timberlake....
No. Actually, Michael Jackson has been compared a lot. Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, BTS and countless others have been compared to him. Michael was compared to Elvis. Coldplay was compared with The Beatles and Queen. Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem have all suffered this. This was in existence since long. Whenever you start to grow a lot in people's eyes, people will try to replace you.
Also imo: celine vs lara. Highly melismatic vs completely non-melismatic singer, one with uttermost priority on developing her core ability that is her mix vs one focusing on being more well rounded and pushing for range with lows and head voice instead
@@renanrpm I hear 0 nasality in lara tbh, but at least they’re both good singers that’s being compared unlike.....well, all those beyonce and lady gaga vs people that clearly cannot sing
@The Ungodly M in mix, yes, with Eb5 vs F#5 consistently supported. But lara loses by a massive margin in lows (E3/F3 vs A3/Bb3), and in head voice where Celine has up to Bb5/B5, whereas Lara’s head voice is under-utilised, i dont recall her going much above G5 or so really.
@@Supcharged Her nasality is not like Celine’s. She has some concious moments of nasality for stylistic purposes. I think it has to do with the french accent. There are times she sings very equal Celine is terms of sound quality due to that.
Mariah's voice is not "thin", her mid range and belts until E5 were always so resonant and full, and now her G4 to B4 is even more resonant. Ariana never had that resonance.
@@Fishriah_Ari I think you should weigh their voices. Both are light - lyric sopranos but MC's voice is heavier than Ari. So Ari never has the same resonance as her.
@@charmmhie Ari's actually used to be heavier than Mariah's but as Mariah aged her voice got deeper and darker, so the weight of her voice also increased. Mariah is actually a coloratura soprano, but she is classified as light-lyric coloratura, so yes you could say that their voices are quite similar in timbre.
Christina said it herself and I strongly believe that it was a hint to us, “They wanted me to be more pop, but that’s just not my voice or me…” It’s “they” who demanded Britney to mess her strong vocals to be come this cute, teenage pop icon 😔
Now that you say it, I see where you're coming from😂😂she has similarities to Kelly, I really hope she and Ariana work on their techniques just a bit more and they'll be AMAZING 🥰
What happened to Britney is the same thing that happened to Normani. Before the music industry they had confidence and big voices and then all of a sudden their vocals drastically dropped.
Mariah and Ariana may have a similar singing style, and is very clear Ariana was inspired by her singing even at some point in her career maybe tried to copy it (not anymore) however when it comes to juice of it Mariah is a far superior vocalist (she writes and produces her music so she makes her songs to her skill and Taylor's them perfectly knowing her abilities) sadly her latest inconsistencies due to nodules give her a bad rep but up to this day when we'll rested she is one of the best. At Ariana age she was unstoppable. Mariah is a far superior user of the whistle register is not just about having it is how you use it and she can even enunciated up there whilst Ariana sometimes feels like she is not saying anything when mixing because of her unbalanced mix. Lower notes of course is Mariah's natural area, she is an alto and has a wider range but that's out of Ari's hands and she actually does a great job most of the time down there. But Mariah's mellisma, runs, riffs are very crisp and she can use her entire range with so much ease, she can riff anywhere and transition between chest to whistle in the space of a letter, to be honest I have never seen anybody do that, plus her entire repertoire is a killer. There is no easy Mariah Carey song, even dumb song like Touch my body are not piece of cake. Ari is amazing, probably one of the best right now and she will develop more in the next years so we're excited to see what happens but credit is due to Mariah Carey, up to this day not many can even come close to her vocal prowess in the 90s and even today at her 50s singing songs she wrote at 16
That isn't shade. It's certainly a compliment and I agree with it. Christina has very good instincts when it comes to using her instrument (voice). She's certainly one of my faves ❤❤
it's sad that many people can't accept that the "new" singers are also great. It's pretty stuck to their head that only the "then" singers are the onlh one who can sing good. like gosh can't yall chill?
@@connorcoleman0379 the fact that you put the word "similar", how people said she "copy" the icons, and being compared to them is such a compliment for her. It proves that she's a great singer because people notices it when she doesn't even make a statement about it
Basically you don't compare Mariah to anyone ☺️ Her colossal talent will always be unmatched. She's the Queen of Music! Singer/Songwriter/Author/Producer.
Umm What are you talking about disrespectful. That a complement. When it comes to Normani IMO. Beyonce set new higher standards for female artist, and became a major influencers in the industry. Even when Beyonce when told Normani she has been waiting to meet her when they first met, and told her she was a fan. 🤣 Alsi we all know if Normani's team would start acting right, Normani will be the the next Beyonce. Be we all know that they are not going to let a beautiful dark skinned girl become a Pop princess. Even Beyonce's dad said that. They cant let dominate the majority white and light skinned racial ambiguous Pop genre. Where most of the girls can't really dance, or sing, are not taletent, and only sell because they look pretty. Because that know she could take over Pop. Also have you really listened to Normani? Do you know she can hit all types of notes that Beyonce could never (including the whistle note) Have you sense Normani (AMA) 2018 performance with Khalid? Where she embodied Beyonce's stage presence! Did you not see her on "Dancing Aith The Stars"? She out here doing stuff I couldn't see Beyonce doing in my wildest dreams. 😂 The one where, even Kelly Clarkson had to stop her in the middle of her red carpet interview to tell her how good her rehearsal was. I don't get the disrespect part.
Some unpopular opinions: - Ariana’s note in God Is a Woman is NOT a whistle, it’s only a high falsetto. Now, in her song “my hair” (for her new album) she did sang a whole chorus in whistle - Katy Perry can be resonant, her belts might be not supported, but sometimes they are resonant. Notes like Bb5 or C#5 she can totally belt with resonant. - Madonna and Britney are bad singers BUT, it’s not fair comparing them to other artists. They are not know for having a good voice, but for being unique. Madonna is Madonna, not for amazing singing skills, but for her creativity, her writing ability and for being controversial. Britney is known for having a different voice, and her amazing dancing skills and basically being THE princess of pop. U can’t comparing them to Mariah or Christina using the argument “but they are better singers” - Mariah might not be consistent vocally like ariana, but in some eras she can sound consistent. Example: during the whole 2019 Christmas tour, she was very consistent vocally, not dodging notes she usually dodges, singing high notes she usually don’t sing, walking around the stage BY HERSELF (something she rarely does).
Thats not the definition of being consistent tho. Mariah has to deal witg her nodules and work around them everytime. It’s something she cant really control unless she doesnt live a normal life and takes care of her voice 100% which is unrealistic. Btw that God is a woman note was DEFINITELY a whistle note. Ariana doesnt have that “kick” in her falsetto. You can hear it clearly, so it’s not really an opinion it’s a fact
Great video queen! Very detailed and helpful! It boggles my mind that people compare Rihanna to Beyoncé VOCALLY.... like... and even Aaliyah and Ciara like she LITERALLY has no support while Aaliyah was giving us supported Bb4s in Journey to the past and B4s in the National anthem. And she was a soprano comfortable down to Eb3. And I don’t understand some of the Ariana fans now I LOVE Ariana but she still hasn’t reached Mariah’s level of complex vocals especially speaking and phrasing in the whistle register live but she’s STILL amazing!
Mariah can never be touched. She was a game changer. No one sang whistle notes, that’s why the 90s comparisons for whistle notes aren’t relevant because it wasn’t a thing yet outside of opera. It wasn’t in pop music, R&B or gospel. Mariah changed the game, her runs are goals for almost all singers, and her range is still to be achieved by a female. Then there’s her success as a writer and performer. An entire decade of #1 hits every year that she wrote and performed herself. The most record sales of any female artist in history (before streams). I just really don’t think anyone can ever have the longevity or skill like Mariah had. And she’s still coming out with new stuff and performing. Also, where is Jessie J in this list? She is compared a lot with Whitney (vocally) and Christina Aguilera.
You are illiterate. Whistle was always in gospel , RandB and one classical music.. People did it way before her. Infact opera was were it was not popular. Anyone that tried it in opera never became successful. It was regarded as a collapsed register without core You make illiterate comments and use illiteracy to confirm Your bias. I dare you to prove what you are saying. Mariah copied whistlers before her Minnie from the 70s was her target . There were people before Minnie. Just ask for education
No one sang whistle notes? Mariah was the only one? Really? Oh, so you have never heard of Minnie Riperton? Look her up. Minnie makes Mariah sound like an amature. You are right when you said no one sang whistle notes, because that is all Mariah could do - whistle notes. Minnie could sing words, sing lines in whistle register. Mariah was not a game changer. She gave people a watered down version of what Minnie was doing decades before. As for her entire decade of no1's, she was married to the CEO of sony. If you knew anything about music sales and charts, you would know that it was MC's husband that was the reason MC had those no1's, not because of Mariah. Look at Mariah's charting success (flops) outside America, on world charts and major markets like the UK, Mariah was not that successful. Mariah was successful in America yes (thanks to her husband), but outside America, in countries across the world, not as much. I will admit Mariah has one of the best female vocals of all time, but so did Whitney. I guess who is better is down to personal opinion. While there are areas of differences due to opinion, there are some things that are facts - whistle was done by Minnie on pop charts decades before Mariah and MC's no.1's are because MC married the CEO of sony. And 1 other fact you got wrong, the most record sales of any female artist in history (before streams) is Madonna, NOT Mariah. Facts are facts. Final fact - Mariah is fu*king amazing, has achieved so much and is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time.
Whistle notes are not the only category for being a phenomenal vocalist. YES, Mariah is an unbelievable vocalist, but she isn’t untouchable and has been vocally matched by the likes of Whitney Houston. This is not to discredit Mariah as there are a very small number of vocalists in history to achieve her feats, but she is not a god remember.
Ariana's marketing team sold her in a way she imitates Mariah's promo that's why they're being compared to each other. Otherwise they have nothing in commun.
@@mili.a.6410 Oh please i'm a big fan of Mariah. I've listened to some of Ariana's song everyone that belts doesn't sing alike. It's clearly the way she was marketed. If you listen to her 7 rings era which is similar to mariah's touch my body, obsessed era. No similarity at all.
@@hao9508 no i was talking about that airy falsetto singing style, that's mariah's singin' style that ariana also does, Some times There's also the dynamics in ari's songs, they kinda remind me of mariah's I know the beltings are different ariana is more heady mix, while mariah is more into balanced one
Britney is naturally Mezzo soprano with a agile head voice. It's said that they made her at 16 change her tone of voice to sound more marketable. The guy that signed her at Jive Records stated she sang a Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston songs acapella. Then they signed her, do you know how ballsy it must be to cover these kind of women acapella at 15? That tells me that Britney must have way more vocal ability than the public is aware of. I wish we got to hear that, we hear bits and pieces of it throughout her career. But never full on , which is just sad. The baby voice is what she's known for unfortunately. Thus she's lumped into the group of none singers like Jlo and Paula Abdul which is very unfair. Sje actually has a naturally good voice, but greedy record exec turned her into a teenage Madonna smh. #JusticeForBritneyVocals
I think the point made in the Mariah/Ariana comparison section is the real truth. The age of icons (for the moment) is over. Artists these days don't have musicianship and artistry. Not only could Whitney and Mariah sing, they literally started the game as icons on the way to becoming legends (an era of Michael, Prince Madonna, George, Freddy to name a few) They are from an era where music in general was better, and lyricism was a thing. Now it takes 15 people to write a basic song we are in an era where a singular person could write/produce a song (Babyface, R-Kelly, Diane Warren, Linda Perry) This video was interesting as i had never heard of any of these comparisons, and the ones i had were due to time they debut.
@@samueleemiliani184 i think she still to work on that. I mean sometimes she really goes high for absolutely no reason. I sée that she can do a lot of stuff (transitions, runs etc.) Its just than sometimes it doesnt fit thé song
@@samueleemiliani184 C'mon. She is 6 albums in, and not one of them (in my opinion) has the impact of one of Mariah's, or the quality of music or hits. You can always discount an artists debut, but sophomore is where you light up if you get the chance. Ariana has modern day hits, but not classics. I'll give you an example. Many artists have hits... like Jennifer Lopez that overtime are remembered as nostalgia, this is the type of artist Ariana is. Where is Ariana's classic song? Where is her crazy in love? No matter how much i am not a fan of Beyonce's, i cannot deny that song. Ariana's hits are disposable, generic and of the moment at best, and the lyrical content is poor.
@@Litalici0us but what she cannot do is pronounce her words properly, her dictation is a mess and her tone remains on one note the majority of the time. I heard her talk recently in an interview and wondered why she didn't sing in that tone instead of the cutsie put on voice that she usually talks in.
I think Mariah and Whitney have the best techinc here, they clearly have more training, Ariana is getting there but I think she is still green. I think that the problem here is that many new artist work more on their image rather than on their skills.
Ariana had really good tehnique when she was on broadway (listen to wizard and i when she was 13) But she sadly changed her tone to nasal,her tehnique went downhill and she had to start to make pop music cuz of max martin But she is improving her tehnique again,I mean compare swt vocals (2019) to hmt vocals (2015) Her notes are less shouty,more vibrato,etc
I've always thought that Gaga has more control/support on her belt besides Katy, (although both have a very powerful voice). But if we talk about HV/falsetto...there I've always thought that Katy was the best. I was always surprised how powerful and heavenly her head voice sounded (Never understood if Katy was a soprano or a mezzo, because her highest note is an F6, but her lowest is a C#3/Bb2, so I don't know)
Do you think katy could have been cast in a star is born? No because her vocals are shaky. Its insulting to even compare them no one in real life has ever compared them because its clear who is the vocalist out of them. Katy makes good kids party songs but she ain't no vocalist.
People aren't seriously comparing Ri to Beyonce, they're trying to be funny. I'm sure of it. Also, some of these are because the voices aren't accurately typed. I love my Queen Xtina, but she has admitted she's not a lyric soprano. She has no mixed voice, and is a beautiful mezzo (it's in her masterclass). You'll find very few true lyric-sopranos do have a decent low register.
This is now my favorite video as of 11.12.20! First off there will NEVER be another like Whitney!!!!! She is the VOCAL QUEEN of all these ladies!!! And that Mariah and Ari comparison was my fave!!! That’s has been the one I always couldn’t put my finger on but this video explained exactly what I wanted to come out of my brain! 😂I loooove all the ladies for their own uniqueness (excluding Normani right now I’m on the fence) but its interesting to see them so detailed and accurately compared! It’s like my eyes have been opened to something I’ve always wondered!
I’m both an Arianator and a Lamb, both Mariah and Ariana are the icons of their generation and masters in what they do. I wish people would stop comparing them and putting them one against the other when in reality they actually support each other.
I hate these bandwagon ppl who say they love her but havent even heard her first album or heard her live to know there was a vast difference between her studio & live voice. Aaliyah was a vibe 🖤
@@TishAli Exactly they probably don't know any of her songs outside of her big singles. The things she did live with her head voice and lower register made it pretty obvious she sang softly on her albums for stylistic purposes. But Aaliyah could hang with her peers vocally.
Also Mariah is not a Soprano, hasn’t this lady herself stated numerous of times she’s an alto with an extended range, taught herself how to maneuver through high notes, && that she always wrote songs in higher keys. Which is very similar to a lot of black women especially in gospel music.
Darling she is definitely a Coloratura Soprano have you ever heard an alto? She said she consider herself as an alto because she was joking she know she is really not. Cher is the clear example of an alto and Mariah isn't even the low that Jojo or beyonce are, she just has a large range sometimes her speaking voice change because of the nodules. LOL
Britney and Xtina were never compared for vocals. They were compared for success and fame and Britney takes everything from head to toe. Xtina is successful too but the brand that Britney has become is unmatched
Sorry but comparing anyone to Beyoncé is an insult. She's been vocally training with technique and hustling since she was a little girl. She's just worked too hard be compared to anyone.
I love all Beyonce chart topping songs. I just started going in and listing to her full albums... great vocalist.. But ummm I found her albums to be boring.
People should listen Christina’s albums ASAP because downplaying her is a huge mistake. In no shape or form would Britney be able to keep up with her, that her management company stopped her artistry or not as nothing to do with her vocal ability. They are totally opposite besides the blond hair and their MMC years. It’s like comparing Beyoncé and Normani TF.
@@amariahlovelace5113 or the fact that she is sign to jay z record label they always comparing them which makes no sense because they are completely different artist like there's no comparison
Not really though. Beyoncé too wasn’t good of a singer as a child. She worked hard on her voice. If Rihanna had the same motivation to work on her voice she’d be there too. Talent is something you’re born with and not something you have to work for to get. So in a sense they’re similar it’s just that Beyoncé pushed herself more and Rihanna was fine with herself.
@@Lolo-zf2wm then i guess you haven’t watched videos of her as a child and a young teen. It’s not a hateful comment but a fact that she wasn’t a good singer when she was younger.
Not everyone will be mariah carey or whitney houston with a strong powerful voice. If that was what it only took to get and make it in the industry a lot more vocally talented people would be signed and famous. It's what sells and what the people love. Pink, kelly clarkson, Jessi j are very talented vocalist yet Rihanna who doesn't have a strong voice like them is way more successful, because of her songs. The songs, image and performances make the artist. So comparing these women are bull just appreciate their music, creativity, style that they bring to the industry.
I always thought Britney couldn’t sing & that the media and the lgbt community hyped her up way more than she was worth. She sang beautifully when she was a kid and I think the music world ruined her and made her something like Kesha and said her singing like that would “sell” which I mean... I guess they’re right it does but I’m sure she wants to sing to her fullest capability. 😕 I hope she goes the independent route like most singers do after a label ruins them
I’m not tryna pin these women against each other but Mariahs the best. I wouldn’t say she’s better then all of them. But her voice is truly one of a kind and there ain’t another like hers!
One thing I notice with these modern singers is that they all sound so similar. I don't know if it's their pronounciation or what but there's something unoriginal about them, even if they have great range/technique. The only people I think stand out from this, that I can think of, are Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey Florence Welch, Amy Lee, Aurora- they have quite unique sounding voices, even if some of them aren't brilliant vocalists.
Honestly I’m kinda tired of the “xtina doesn’t have a good technique” narrative. She has technical issues with her belts, but for the rest is obvious that she knows how to sing with a good technique. At times her stylistic choices might be vocally unhealthy but I think it’s clear that she mastered them. Her voice barely deteriorated, especially if compared to how people thought it was going to deteriorate. She’s extremely agile and capable of singing musically pleasant runs and riffs precisely. Her versatility is great. Her lower register is getting richer and deeper, her tone is gold, her musicality is on point, her pitch is good, her falsetto is probably the best in the music business. She’s too good of a singer to be labelled as “non-technical” because of a few issues in her upper register. She obviously knows how to sing with a proper technique. You can see it in many performances, I just think she prefers her own personal style to a more technical and vocally safe one.
Thats what i litterally said in the video. I praised her lows, agility, musicianship and falsetto register. When i say she IS not a technical singer it's because she said herself that she was way more focused on the "intuitive" (cant remember thé exact word) singing than on the technique. I feel like ppl really came to this video with the Idea "oh she's gonna Bash my fav singer" when that was not the purpose at all. Then they focus on "Bad" habits i pointed
@@Litalici0us my comment was a response to your video but only in part. It’s more of a general observation. I actually get what you meant, although I wouldn’t have used the “not technical” description. I’m just tired of the tendency in this community to describe Christina as someone who basically doesn’t know how to sing and that just got lucky with her beautiful tone. The “she has a bad technique” narrative got too far in my opinion, even though she has a few technical issues.
@@Litalici0us I actually agree with a lot of your points about Christina (with the exception of her being a light lyric soprano but classifying non-classical singers is always controversial lol). I'm also REALLY impressed with how respectful you were to all the featured singers 👏🏾
Glad you put Britney's original voice in and gave it the praise it deserves, a lot of people assume she doesn't have talent , when in fact she's a great dancer with a pretty good voice it's just that a good voice isn't marketable if it isn't unique hence the baby voice
Yay, a 25mins video ☺️ Sn: Kinda off topic but, I have to figure out what it is about Khelani that bothers me 😳 it stops me from trying out her songs. Her voice is beautiful so, I really need to figure this issue out b/c I need new music 😂🤣
Honestly i recommend you honey, love language, nights like this, distraction, again, the way, get away, water, Can you blame me and so much more but it dépends on which type of RnB you like
i recommend little mix. their music isnt “childish” anymore since their 5th album(lm5$. lm5 is abt supporting women, people, friends and things like that. also their 6th album confetti js dropped and its rlly good too. i was surprised
Tinashe reminds me alot of Aaliyah when she sings and performs, though I think Aaliyah had better technique and range but I love them both. Tinashe I hope she keeps working and blossoming in her career. I miss Aaliyah so much 😥 Mariah is perfect though and a musical genius.
Normani has so much potential to be a really beautiful vocalist. Her low notes are heavenly to the ears and sound like butter and she is capable of doing different runs and riffs through the different registers to her voice. The three issues she really needs to work on is belting, projection and consistency.
2:38 makes me so angry! The music industry took a talented singer and squeezed all the passion out of her. Britney herself isn't blameless. She could have put her foot down and risked losing the fame but she chose to keep her family, fans and label happy at the expense of her artistry. In my culture we have a saying "if everyone loves you, please accept my condolences". There's just no way to please everyone and still keep any kind of integrity. It's so sad
@@marianar2948 I'm an Akan from Ghana. There are also Akans in La Côte d'Ivoire hence the distinction that I'm from Ghana 🙂. The actual saying goes, "Sɛ nnipa nyinaa dɔ wo a, due". "Due" is is what we say to wish people condolences at funerals
You really did a great job fella. People now know the fact and stop comparing those vocalist. Let's just enjoy music without any comparison. Great video
From what I've seen online, Britney lost that voice when she started to get famous. Her managers/record label made her sing in a more "marketable" voice/register. After a few years, it took a toll on her voice and made it weaker. She used to be able to sing much healthier beforehand, now she sings on her records differently. Her latest record, Glory, showcases her real, deeper voice, though.
@The Marvelets Elitestan exactly !! I never understood tht... Like they also said she would sound too much Xtina but even if Britney did sing like tht, they never sounded alike cuz Xtina has a different sound and style..
Actually Christina and Britney sound almost the same, especially in the lower register. Listen to Britney's unreleased stuff, where she uses her natural tone and not the baby voice and y'all will see the similarity.
Well, you're wrong about Ariana. She's not Mariah, but that doesn't mean she's not an icon, in her own right, at this point in her career. She also uses her voice as an instrument and has a unique singing style and voice. A lot of the points you have about her are just very dated. Her lows have also improved a lot, and her overall voice. The constant discrediting of her is just ridiculous at this point.
Preach!!! I am sooo tired of people discrediting Ariana. I said when her first album Yours Truly came out that Ari would be an icon, and look where she is now in her career. She is breaking new records every day! (First female artist to have 3 albums go #1 in just 2 years!) Ariana is a queen!
How are they "discrediting" when it's true? Ariana hasn't mastered her lows or whistle register and has already been in the industry for 5+ plus years whereas Mariah was already a vocal beast since her debut (even with nodules). Again these critiques are when comparing her to Mariah, Ari is an amazing singer, but she doesn't possess a fraction of MC's vocal agility or creativity which is what made her unique. Ariana is an icon but she's not a legend. Only time will tell that. It's not discrediting when it's the truth.
she meant in a vocal way. what has ariana made signature? has she created any technique? of course she has an amazing voice and records but...mariah has the whistle , what does ari have?
wasn’t this whole video about not comparing but you guys are comparing 2 very different singers anyway? they don’t even sing similar songs or have the same target audience
EDIT: (TIMELINE AND SONGS I USED IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX)
About the video: Some ppl did not get the concept. I'm pointing differences not to bring someone down to value another singer. My concept has the opposite purpose. It's like " stop comparing tthem and appreciate them individually for the talent they have."
About Christina: I've called her non technical because she said it herself. She said herself her singing was more focused on intuition and style. I praised every part of her register (but mixed voice technique) so please stop being offended by that and focusing on that point.
And sorry some of you told me that i mistake some vocal types I'll correct it with annotations. The video was very long to make. I'm usually clumsy (my old subs would know) and I really lost my concentration at times doing that. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any recommendation.
Hi, do you mean Beyoncé vs Rihanna rather than vs Aaliyah?

Britney's team and management did her voice reaaaal dirty. There was soo much potential!
@@atawbi I mean vocalist is a bit of a stretch. She could hold a note but let’s not get carried away
@@pantherseye I mean Britney was trained from a young age and was continuing to be trained even more after she finished high school and was about to get signed she was planning on doing a R&B album they complained she sounded to mature for her age said no one wants to hear a white girl trying to sound like Toni Braxton and other stupid things like her real voice would never sell pop records luckily she could dance because that saved her career they put that baby voice on her and actually had someone train her to sing in that tone which hurt her voice even Ariana said she had to stop doing Britney impressions because it was hurting her singing voice imagine doing that the majority of your career she always sung better live also when she was singing more deeper and dancing less
@@idonteperfect6943 she hardly ever sang live though so I’m very reluctant to believe these theories that it messed up her voice. As though she would have been Whitney Houston otherwise. Please.
@@pantherseye i think she had potential. Her true voice is a little fuller and deeper. It's not really a pop voice. I think what she wanted to do was more rnb pop.
yes it is, but it made her famous and unique i guess
Mariah’s vocal traits description had more range than my whole family’s vocal capability
Lol
So true dahling
I love Mariah and I love Ariana but people need to stop comparing them!! They both have ruled the charts IN THEIR OWN WAYS. They both have shown love to eachother on social media platforms. Mariah DOES NOT HATE ARIANA! I just need the lambily and the arianators to be more lenient and be more respectful towards eachother because these 2 women are both AMAZING. BOTH INCREDIBLE!!!!
🤍🤍
Mariah’s Little Lamb well you don’t need to be so rude about it lol I mean I get it I don’t love Mariah
Mariah and Ariana has both beautiful voice but if ari had no nasal than she would be good but she working on it🔮
They’re not “both incredible” so let’s cut the crap. Ari, as much as I love her music, does not posses anywhere near the vocal prowess that Mariah had during her prime. Mariah sang with emotion AND technicality, but Ariana only sounds pretty when she sings; not having any emotion whatsoever. and you know why they compare mariah and Ariana? Bcus Ariana is on her 6th album yet is still in Mariah’s shadow and is basically a watered down copycat of her
Edit: I want add more bcus I don’t want to seem like I hate Ariana cus I’m a fan of hers. But I’m not delusional. I want to add some praise to how she utilizes her voice, bcus she NEVER misses live, and even when she was lying upside down, she still had very strong vocals. That’s impressive af. I know with Ariana’s, that I won’t feel uncomfortable hearing her sing, bcus she always is great live. One of her idols is Whitney, so I feel like she was inspired by how she preserved her voice bcus I can see a small similarity there
no no no. we already treat each other (lambs & arianators) like a mother-daughter fandom since like 2018. its just the jurassic era lambs who still dislike ariana for no reason.
i hate people. they always put woman against each other, and never men. a woman makes a song about sex, everyone attacks her. men do it. and then what? nothing. how abt we pit no one against each other, and stop attacking grown people for doing what they want
I know right. Ikr and when are compared it's usually because of praise. Eg The Weeknd has the same voice like MJ. If there are unhealthy types of comparisons for men the controversy is quickly shut down whereas for women it's encouraged and even goes on for years with people starting to make rumors that the artists hate each other. I'm not surprised because the music industry also promotes this as in the people behind the scenes like the directors and managers. A good example is the Cardi B/Nicki hate. Nicki never said anything bad about cardi, but Cardi let the money and the fans get to her head. That's how the Niki bandwagon hate started. Like where's the respect for hardworking women 💔.
No. Actually, Michael Jackson has been compared a lot. Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, BTS and countless others have been compared to him. John Lennon and Paul McCartney have been pitted against each other since time immemorial and it ultimately led to the split of the Fab Four.
Michael was compared to Elvis. Coldplay was compared with The Beatles and Queen. Queen and Rolling Stones were pitted against each other. Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem have all suffered this pitting. BTS is being called the new Beatles. This was in existence since long. Whenever you start to grow a lot in people's eyes, people will try to replace you.
The thing is ppl compare everyone. Its not just a female thing.
@@i_Ambrose ok but in the music industry it happens the most to females
It’s men too lol do you only pay attention to the females?
Another ridiculous one: beyonce vs aaliyah, self explanatory really
@Anime King Becasue they’re two gorgeous black women
@Anime King extremely stupid whenever Aaliyah is brought up people can’t help making the “if she was still alive Beyoncé wouldn’t have made it” comment
@Anime King Thats cause just before dying Aaliyah was the Hit Black Girl, liked by the Hip-Hop industry, she was young and beautiful. So Aaliyah’s fans were mad that another beautiful black girl like Beyoncé have the success their fav had.
I thought this comment section was going to be brutal
I don't get why ppl say that Aaliyah would be bigger than Bey, cause if we check the receipts...
Beyoncé #1 hits with DC before Aaliyah's death in 2001:
"Bills Bills Bills", "Say My Name", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious"
Total: 4
Aaliyah #1 hits before her death in 2001:
"Try Again"
Total: 1
Aaliyah was big but Beyoncé was huger, rest in peace tho, i love them both.

@@falonnelamothe2051 the word "legend" is literally given to anyone who dies tbh 💀

like i go to ariana for airy light vocals, but go to demi for rich deep vocals. but that doesn’t inherently make one better than the other like for realll...
*Cough cough* Mariah Stans
Thank you I agree so much
In the words of Ariana: what is wrong to be compared with the best vocalist on the planet (Mariah) ? Nothing is actually a huge compliment... Mariah was the blue print whether you agreed or not. She is queen period.
Whitney and Mariah doesn’t really make sense either. Their styles are so different so it doesn’t even make sense to compare them, they were only compared in the first place prolly bc Mariah gave Whitney competition when she came out as Whitney was the main vocalist pop girl for a bit at the time
To be fair, Mariah’s debut tone and vocal qualities shared similarities with Whitney’s despite them being almost completely opposite of each other style wise.
@@idontevenknowok8159 well ig it’s fair to say they have some things in common here and there like some tone similarities, but their styles are just about different things. Mariah prioritizes brightness and while Whitney does as well, she also incorporates a more aggressive and dark approach contrastingly. To sum my point up, I just feel like Whitney’s focus is more on dynamics and Mariah’s is more on vocal acrobatics
@Penny Perry I know you're a Whitney stan but calling Mariah a Studio Singer?? really??
isn't 30 years of career, tours, SINGING long enough for you??
Mariah said enough! stop hating on her!
It was all Motola's conspiracy. He pushed Mariah to sound in a particular way, just to draw comparisons. If Motola was not so evil, Whitney and Mariah would have been friends since day 1.
There is a particular Whitney stan here who is also a hooligan Mariah troll. Don't y'all think you are all alone? Literally nobody but Whitney stans call Mariah a studio singer. The obsession is real. Stop this shit.
mariah's whistle is so easy to the point that she looks like she's not even trying
Beyoncé always had à military voice training. Ri has a kind of lazy vibe that suits her artisic direction but does no justice to her vocals
OMG.. Mariah Carey. She is untouchable.
People need to put some respect on Mariah's name tbh. I think people forget she's legend status because she tries to stay current and is always releasing new music. Not saying Ariana can't sing, she defo can. But there's a reason why MC is an icon, legend, worthy contender for GOAT etc along with the likes of Whitney, Stevie, Aretha etc. It would be better to say Ariana has been influenced by MC vocally. But to compare the two as if they're in someway equal is borderline disrepectful to MC in my opinion. Ariana's only been here 5 minutes and no doubt will go down as a fantastic singer - MC has been slaying for 20+ years and will go down as one of the greatest vocalists male or female to stand behind a microphone - huge difference. Not even trying to throw shade here.
if being a legend is the amount of time on stage, then its only a matter of time til Ariana Grande is equal to Mariah.
@@pip000hi17 Longevity is only one factor. Who knows where Ariana will be in 5 or 10 years. Hopefully still successful. The point remains that Mariah is arguably the greatest vocalist (male or female) of all time - Ariana is not (by a long shot). There really is no comparison or competion here.

The current generation always loves to see legends in their own pop icons. The legends Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson (also Madonna) have remained the standards and the face of comparisons since ages because the general public have always wanted to replace them. But these are just momentary popular opinions, in the long run people realize that legends shall remain legends while the rest shall only be seen as cheap imitation acts. These comparisons do nothing but extend the legacy of these artists.
Also Whitney, there are so many comments people make about “She is the next Whitney Houston”, where singing like Whitney has become a standard and people try to imitate her sound. Sometimes it can get annoying that they don’t try to find their own style and voice but there’s a reason they look up to her because she is a legend.
@Penny Perry nobody said Mariah is better than Patti, tf u on about?
@Penny Perry LOOOOOOOOL 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@manuelt966 Oh yes definitely. Whitney has inspired a whole generation of wannabes. But the case with Whitney is that nobody has the audacity to consider an imitation "better" than Whitney. Glennis Grace is never seen as better than Whitney. But in case of Michael, Madonna and Mariah, people are somehow able to gather the audacity to call the imitation in the same lane as the originals, and a sect also considers them better. Beyonce is considered better than Michael by some. Ariana/Christina is considered better than Mariah by some. Gaga is considered better than Madonna by some. These are the stans and they have the audacity to attack the legend fans too. That doesn't happen in Whitney's case. That is the only reason I excluded her.
@Penny Perry you’re on crack!
The one that is not here but had me slam on the ground is when judges from The Masked singer compared THE TORI KELLY to Cabello like-💀 thats a disrespect as hell....
Them “judges” is embarrassing 😤
and Bebe Rexha👀
Omg preach. I love love me some Tori Kelly. I was like embarrassed for them🤦🏾♀️
Like imagine comparing angel vocals to rat vocals
One of the "judges" even guessed that Lips (Wendy Williams) is Mariah 😩
Another reason why Ariana is compared to Mariah is because her song The Way. She literally used Mariahs technique in her backing vocals of the chorus. “I love the way you make me feel, I love it...” when it first came on the radio everyone thought Mariah was featured on the song. Great marketing strategy for sure but it definitely took awhile to Ariana to find her own style.
Wdym she used Mariah’s technique? You mean the breathy vocals? In my opinion that was more of a influence thing than a marketing tactic which is kinda weird you say that like you know for sure. Regardless, the hate Ariana got and still gets just from being compared to Mariah is insane
@@noncatholiccatholicrat6309 It’s both
Britney is a wasted potential, if she wasn't forced by her label to sound "babyish", she could probably be technically better than Xtina.
True unfortunately her baby voice singing was selling
Yeah keep making excuses. 🙄
That baby voice is iconic though. Too bad it's the total opposite of her natural singing voice. Makes you really wonder what was going through the producer's head at that time.

Do you know she can hit all types of notes that Beyonce could never (including the whistle note)
Have you sense Normani (AMA) 2018 performance with Khalid?

@@Monroestevens306 man I love normani but her whistle note is weak compared to others who can do it( mariah, ariana, morrisette amon) and also she is not consistent and beyonce does not have whistle note bcoz all her ranges are connected fully therefore she has a fully developed head voice which she is a master in , normani was not even the best singer in 5th harmony even though she is my favs, ally and dinah are much more stronger singers, normani needs to work on here voice, and u cant compare her to beyonce who is a star rated vocalist and the only one in the modern day popular music after mariah, so.. just bcoz u can hit whistle notes does not mean u r a better singer

TheMissileMiner because i was speaking in terms of technicality which is objective
I think Christina Aguilera is a mezzo-soprano, and Mariah Carey is a Lyric-Coloratura Soprano, people always forget that.
I think Christina is actually a Soprano, because her head voice, her speaking voice (and her singing voice when she’s not straining) are very light and nothing like a mezzosoprano like Beyoncé (Beyoncé is coloratura mezzosoprano, that’s the highest variation of the mezzos and her voice has been always darker than Christina’s)
@@shadowcArey I'm not really sure about her vocal type. She was like a Soprano in her debut, but became a Mezzo after a decade. Many fans noticed that she has a habit of speaking higher of pitch in her voice up during interviews, so it is not her real voice.
@@isaacfiedler9404 that’s the point! Generally the speaking voice is lower or in the same key than the singing voice. When she’s not using that false timbre, she can sing higher and more comfortable with high notes, not like a mezzo. Like in a clip she did an Eb5 singing Stone Cold, (she lowered her larynx, but wasn’t with that strain she generally does), she didn’t sounded like a mezzo, she sounded more like a lyric soprano.

I feel like so many comparisons come from fashion (Lady Gaga and Katy , Madonna) or a societal obsession with Who’s Up Next, The Next _______ (Normani and B, ari and mariah, even Whitney and Jennifer). I think a part of it is that we naturally want to find patterns and often grab the first thing instead of looking deeper

@@Litalici0us and those people clearly know very little about singing when they try to claim “x sounds like y” lol
I think the main problem is that people even compare artists to other artists at all. No one is ever going to be Beyonce because she is her. No one is ever going to be the next Brian McKnight because he is him. Even though they can each be out into a voice classification, they will still sound different with different abilities and different flaws and different positive traits to their voice. Let artists be themselves and sound like themselves, then decide if you like that sound or not and keep it moving. So many people are annoying when it comes to wanting to compare one singer to another. (Not you ladies specifically, I mean in general.)

@The Ungodly M in mix, yes, with Eb5 vs F#5 consistently supported. But lara loses by a massive margin in lows (E3/F3 vs A3/Bb3), and in head voice where Celine has up to Bb5/B5, whereas Lara’s head voice is under-utilised, i dont recall her going much above G5 or so really.
@@Supcharged Her nasality is not like Celine’s. She has some concious moments of nasality for stylistic purposes. I think it has to do with the french accent. There are times she sings very equal Celine is terms of sound quality due to that.
@@renanrpm it’s bcz they are both French lol
Mariah's voice is not "thin", her mid range and belts until E5 were always so resonant and full, and now her G4 to B4 is even more resonant. Ariana never had that resonance.
She does now
Her falsetto is extremely thin in comparison to other singers', but otherwise I agree.
@@Fishriah_Ari I think you should weigh their voices. Both are light - lyric sopranos but MC's voice is heavier than Ari. So Ari never has the same resonance as her.
@@charmmhie Ari's actually used to be heavier than Mariah's but as Mariah aged her voice got deeper and darker, so the weight of her voice also increased. Mariah is actually a coloratura soprano, but she is classified as light-lyric coloratura, so yes you could say that their voices are quite similar in timbre.
@@varunravi27 Uhmm how did earlyAri sounded heavier than earlyMC?
Christina said it herself and I strongly believe that it was a hint to us, “They wanted me to be more pop, but that’s just not my voice or me…” It’s “they” who demanded Britney to mess her strong vocals to be come this cute, teenage pop icon 😔
holy SHIT!!! Normani can do the whistle register she is so bloody underrated vocally
Whitney, well noone will ever reach the standard she set
Yo normani had that riff up until like the last 3 or 4 notes
I always think about that Demi's always like carrying a post Kelly Clarkson & Pink style. Is it Just Me ?
I see where u r comming from
@@lydob2471 haha yea
Now that you say it, I see where you're coming from😂😂she has similarities to Kelly, I really hope she and Ariana work on their techniques just a bit more and they'll be AMAZING 🥰
@@albincesko1488 yea
@smarts nah I don't hear Pink in her either 😂
What happened to Britney is the same thing that happened to Normani. Before the music industry they had confidence and big voices and then all of a sudden their vocals drastically dropped.
Mariah's tone alone is incomparable.
Mariah and Ariana may have a similar singing style, and is very clear Ariana was inspired by her singing even at some point in her career maybe tried to copy it (not anymore) however when it comes to juice of it Mariah is a far superior vocalist (she writes and produces her music so she makes her songs to her skill and Taylor's them perfectly knowing her abilities) sadly her latest inconsistencies due to nodules give her a bad rep but up to this day when we'll rested she is one of the best. At Ariana age she was unstoppable. Mariah is a far superior user of the whistle register is not just about having it is how you use it and she can even enunciated up there whilst Ariana sometimes feels like she is not saying anything when mixing because of her unbalanced mix. Lower notes of course is Mariah's natural area, she is an alto and has a wider range but that's out of Ari's hands and she actually does a great job most of the time down there. But Mariah's mellisma, runs, riffs are very crisp and she can use her entire range with so much ease, she can riff anywhere and transition between chest to whistle in the space of a letter, to be honest I have never seen anybody do that, plus her entire repertoire is a killer. There is no easy Mariah Carey song, even dumb song like Touch my body are not piece of cake. Ari is amazing, probably one of the best right now and she will develop more in the next years so we're excited to see what happens but credit is due to Mariah Carey, up to this day not many can even come close to her vocal prowess in the 90s and even today at her 50s singing songs she wrote at 16
Intuitive is a great way to describe Christina as a vocalist!
Thanks again for your work!! Very helpful
@@Litalici0us thank you, loved the video:)
is that shade?
That isn't shade. It's certainly a compliment and I agree with it. Christina has very good instincts when it comes to using her instrument (voice). She's certainly one of my faves ❤❤
it's sad that many people can't accept that the "new" singers are also great. It's pretty stuck to their head that only the "then" singers are the onlh one who can sing good. like gosh can't yall chill?
It’s just down to singers like Ariana grande and being similar to Mariah or Whitney but not being quite that good vocally when you look at the facts
@@connorcoleman0379 the fact that you put the word "similar", how people said she "copy" the icons, and being compared to them is such a compliment for her. It proves that she's a great singer because people notices it when she doesn't even make a statement about it
@@ravenkitviejo8694 yes she’s very good but she ain’t as good as them you know that
@@connorcoleman0379 because no one is "better" than anyone. It just depends on the listener's preferred style/ tone and no ome is "the best"
@@ravenkitviejo8694 no mate your just to proud to admit Mariah and Whitney are better
I LOVE Ariana's falsettos. I LOVE Mariahs whistles. They are unique in their own way
Basically you don't compare Mariah to anyone ☺️ Her colossal talent will always be unmatched. She's the Queen of Music! Singer/Songwriter/Author/Producer.
I wish yall Mariah fans(I'm one too) but I also know she gets her whole style from Minnie riperton
@@miystiqueskillz2233 her whistles were inspired by Minnie, but as far as I know Minnie has a much more sweet tone
Katy has vibrato, she just doesn’t want to use it,
@Jim Kay Jones omggggggggggg 😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
@Jim Kay Jones oh my...👀
@Jim Kay Jones i love katy but that was funny
Katy told u??😂😂
she doesn’t know how to use it correctly* it’s forced and sometimes she uses tremolo as it is.
Comparing Rihanna(I like her btw) & Normani to Beyoncé is disrespectful to Beyoncé lol, no shade but...
That shade stop it ,stfu
@@nthuthukomdluli1052 it isn't..its facts..they are all talented as well
No offense I do agree
Umm What are you talking about disrespectful. That a complement. When it comes to Normani
IMO. Beyonce set new higher standards for female artist, and became a major influencers in the industry.
Even when Beyonce when told Normani she has been waiting to meet her when they first met, and told her she was a fan. 🤣
Alsi we all know if Normani's team would start acting right, Normani will be the the next Beyonce.
Be we all know that they are not going to let a beautiful dark skinned girl become a Pop princess.
Even Beyonce's dad said that.
They cant let dominate the majority white and light skinned racial ambiguous Pop genre.
Where most of the girls can't really dance, or sing, are not taletent, and only sell because they look pretty.
Because that know she could take over Pop.
Also have you really listened to Normani? Do you know she can hit all types of notes that Beyonce could never (including the whistle note)
Have you sense Normani (AMA) 2018 performance with Khalid?
Where she embodied Beyonce's stage presence!
Did you not see her on "Dancing Aith The Stars"? She out here doing stuff I couldn't see Beyonce doing in my wildest dreams. 😂
The one where, even Kelly Clarkson had to stop her in the middle of her red carpet interview to tell her how good her rehearsal was.
I don't get the disrespect part.
@@Monroestevens306 stop copying the same comment
Some unpopular opinions:
- Ariana’s note in God Is a Woman is NOT a whistle, it’s only a high falsetto. Now, in her song “my hair” (for her new album) she did sang a whole chorus in whistle
- Katy Perry can be resonant, her belts might be not supported, but sometimes they are resonant. Notes like Bb5 or C#5 she can totally belt with resonant.
- Madonna and Britney are bad singers BUT, it’s not fair comparing them to other artists. They are not know for having a good voice, but for being unique. Madonna is Madonna, not for amazing singing skills, but for her creativity, her writing ability and for being controversial. Britney is known for having a different voice, and her amazing dancing skills and basically being THE princess of pop. U can’t comparing them to Mariah or Christina using the argument “but they are better singers”
- Mariah might not be consistent vocally like ariana, but in some eras she can sound consistent. Example: during the whole 2019 Christmas tour, she was very consistent vocally, not dodging notes she usually dodges, singing high notes she usually don’t sing, walking around the stage BY HERSELF (something she rarely does).
Thats not the definition of being consistent tho. Mariah has to deal witg her nodules and work around them everytime. It’s something she cant really control unless she doesnt live a normal life and takes care of her voice 100% which is unrealistic. Btw that God is a woman note was DEFINITELY a whistle note. Ariana doesnt have that “kick” in her falsetto. You can hear it clearly, so it’s not really an opinion it’s a fact
No one, literally to one said giaw is a whistle note, but the live one is a whistle note
Studio version : Falsetto
Live version : Whistle
@@exiles4527 actually many people uses that as an argument and it’s also in the video. But she can do whistles and live, and it’s amazing
Britney "unique"?! only for a white audience back them when she started, cause she just a "White Janet Jackson" project (voice and dance skills).
Great video queen! Very detailed and helpful! It boggles my mind that people compare Rihanna to Beyoncé VOCALLY.... like... and even Aaliyah and Ciara like she LITERALLY has no support while Aaliyah was giving us supported Bb4s in Journey to the past and B4s in the National anthem. And she was a soprano comfortable down to Eb3. And I don’t understand some of the Ariana fans now I LOVE Ariana but she still hasn’t reached Mariah’s level of complex vocals especially speaking and phrasing in the whistle register live but she’s STILL amazing!
The best for the end
love everybody but mariah and whitney are just.. untouchable
How is Mariahs voice deep and thin, light and dark, bright and warm 💀💀💀💀. Shes a beast
Mariah can never be touched. She was a game changer. No one sang whistle notes, that’s why the 90s comparisons for whistle notes aren’t relevant because it wasn’t a thing yet outside of opera. It wasn’t in pop music, R&B or gospel. Mariah changed the game, her runs are goals for almost all singers, and her range is still to be achieved by a female. Then there’s her success as a writer and performer. An entire decade of #1 hits every year that she wrote and performed herself. The most record sales of any female artist in history (before streams). I just really don’t think anyone can ever have the longevity or skill like Mariah had. And she’s still coming out with new stuff and performing.
Also, where is Jessie J in this list? She is compared a lot with Whitney (vocally) and Christina Aguilera.
You are illiterate. Whistle was always in gospel , RandB and one classical music.. People did it way before her. Infact opera was were it was not popular. Anyone that tried it in opera never became successful. It was regarded as a collapsed register without core
You make illiterate comments and use illiteracy to confirm
Your bias. I dare you to prove what you are saying. Mariah copied whistlers before her Minnie from the 70s was her target . There were people before Minnie. Just ask for education
No one sang whistle notes? Mariah was the only one? Really? Oh, so you have never heard of Minnie Riperton? Look her up. Minnie makes Mariah sound like an amature. You are right when you said no one sang whistle notes, because that is all Mariah could do - whistle notes. Minnie could sing words, sing lines in whistle register. Mariah was not a game changer. She gave people a watered down version of what Minnie was doing decades before.
As for her entire decade of no1's, she was married to the CEO of sony. If you knew anything about music sales and charts, you would know that it was MC's husband that was the reason MC had those no1's, not because of Mariah. Look at Mariah's charting success (flops) outside America, on world charts and major markets like the UK, Mariah was not that successful. Mariah was successful in America yes (thanks to her husband), but outside America, in countries across the world, not as much.
I will admit Mariah has one of the best female vocals of all time, but so did Whitney. I guess who is better is down to personal opinion. While there are areas of differences due to opinion, there are some things that are facts - whistle was done by Minnie on pop charts decades before Mariah and MC's no.1's are because MC married the CEO of sony.
And 1 other fact you got wrong, the most record sales of any female artist in history (before streams) is Madonna, NOT Mariah. Facts are facts.
Final fact - Mariah is fu*king amazing, has achieved so much and is one of the greatest female vocalists of all time.
Whistle notes are not the only category for being a phenomenal vocalist. YES, Mariah is an unbelievable vocalist, but she isn’t untouchable and has been vocally matched by the likes of Whitney Houston. This is not to discredit Mariah as there are a very small number of vocalists in history to achieve her feats, but she is not a god remember.
3:43 Britney's "Oh NOoO0" have me rolling. By the way, Amazing video!
They forced my girl britney to sing in that nasally voice😖she deserves so much more....still iconic tho!
Ariana's marketing team sold her in a way she imitates Mariah's promo that's why they're being compared to each other. Otherwise they have nothing in commun.
Not really, ariana's musique & some vocals are inspired my mariah
@@mili.a.6410 Oh please i'm a big fan of Mariah. I've listened to some of Ariana's song everyone that belts doesn't sing alike. It's clearly the way she was marketed. If you listen to her 7 rings era which is similar to mariah's touch my body, obsessed era. No similarity at all.
@@hao9508 no i was talking about that airy falsetto singing style, that's mariah's singin' style that ariana also does,
Some times There's also the dynamics in ari's songs, they kinda remind me of mariah's
I know the beltings are different ariana is more heady mix, while mariah is more into balanced one
@@mili.a.6410 Ari was inspired by Mariah early in her career. She's found her own sound now
Britney is naturally Mezzo soprano with a agile head voice. It's said that they made her at 16 change her tone of voice to sound more marketable. The guy that signed her at Jive Records stated she sang a Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston songs acapella. Then they signed her, do you know how ballsy it must be to cover these kind of women acapella at 15? That tells me that Britney must have way more vocal ability than the public is aware of. I wish we got to hear that, we hear bits and pieces of it throughout her career. But never full on , which is just sad. The baby voice is what she's known for unfortunately. Thus she's lumped into the group of none singers like Jlo and Paula Abdul which is very unfair. Sje actually has a naturally good voice, but greedy record exec turned her into a teenage Madonna smh. #JusticeForBritneyVocals
I think the point made in the Mariah/Ariana comparison section is the real truth. The age of icons (for the moment) is over. Artists these days don't have musicianship and artistry. Not only could Whitney and Mariah sing, they literally started the game as icons on the way to becoming legends (an era of Michael, Prince Madonna, George, Freddy to name a few) They are from an era where music in general was better, and lyricism was a thing. Now it takes 15 people to write a basic song we are in an era where a singular person could write/produce a song (Babyface, R-Kelly, Diane Warren, Linda Perry)
This video was interesting as i had never heard of any of these comparisons, and the ones i had were due to time they debut.
Ariana is not on mariah’s level we know but you have to admit that Ariana has a really good musicianship too
@@samueleemiliani184 i think she still to work on that. I mean sometimes she really goes high for absolutely no reason. I sée that she can do a lot of stuff (transitions, runs etc.) Its just than sometimes it doesnt fit thé song
@@samueleemiliani184 C'mon. She is 6 albums in, and not one of them (in my opinion) has the impact of one of Mariah's, or the quality of music or hits.
You can always discount an artists debut, but sophomore is where you light up if you get the chance. Ariana has modern day hits, but not classics. I'll give you an example. Many artists have hits... like Jennifer Lopez that overtime are remembered as nostalgia, this is the type of artist Ariana is. Where is Ariana's classic song? Where is her crazy in love? No matter how much i am not a fan of Beyonce's, i cannot deny that song. Ariana's hits are disposable, generic and of the moment at best, and the lyrical content is poor.
@@Litalici0us but what she cannot do is pronounce her words properly, her dictation is a mess and her tone remains on one note the majority of the time. I heard her talk recently in an interview and wondered why she didn't sing in that tone instead of the cutsie put on voice that she usually talks in.
@@sandraboyce4817 not a big fan of her, but maybe Ariana's classic could be considered "My everything" or "Moonlight"
I think Mariah and Whitney have the best techinc here, they clearly have more training, Ariana is getting there but I think she is still green. I think that the problem here is that many new artist work more on their image rather than on their skills.
Ariana had really good tehnique when she was on broadway (listen to wizard and i when she was 13)
But she sadly changed her tone to nasal,her tehnique went downhill and she had to start to make pop music cuz of max martin
But she is improving her tehnique again,I mean compare swt vocals (2019) to hmt vocals (2015)
Her notes are less shouty,more vibrato,etc
I've always thought that Gaga has more control/support on her belt besides Katy, (although both have a very powerful voice).
But if we talk about HV/falsetto...there I've always thought that Katy was the best. I was always surprised how powerful and heavenly her head voice sounded
(Never understood if Katy was a soprano or a mezzo, because her highest note is an F6, but her lowest is a C#3/Bb2, so I don't know)
Do you think katy could have been cast in a star is born? No because her vocals are shaky. Its insulting to even compare them no one in real life has ever compared them because its clear who is the vocalist out of them. Katy makes good kids party songs but she ain't no vocalist.
People aren't seriously comparing Ri to Beyonce, they're trying to be funny. I'm sure of it.
Also, some of these are because the voices aren't accurately typed. I love my Queen Xtina, but she has admitted she's not a lyric soprano. She has no mixed voice, and is a beautiful mezzo (it's in her masterclass). You'll find very few true lyric-sopranos do have a decent low register.
This is now my favorite video as of 11.12.20! First off there will NEVER be another like Whitney!!!!! She is the VOCAL QUEEN of all these ladies!!! And that Mariah and Ari comparison was my fave!!! That’s has been the one I always couldn’t put my finger on but this video explained exactly what I wanted to come out of my brain! 😂I loooove all the ladies for their own uniqueness (excluding Normani right now I’m on the fence) but its interesting to see them so detailed and accurately compared! It’s like my eyes have been opened to something I’ve always wondered!
I’m both an Arianator and a Lamb, both Mariah and Ariana are the icons of their generation and masters in what they do. I wish people would stop comparing them and putting them one against the other when in reality they actually support each other.
I miss my favorite singer Aaliyah so much she sing so beautiful period....
Her low notes were so rich and her high notes so angelic. I miss her too.
People like to downplay Aaliyah's abilities but she had a lot of untapped potential. Especially with her lower register and her head voice.
Agreed
I hate these bandwagon ppl who say they love her but havent even heard her first album or heard her live to know there was a vast difference between her studio & live voice. Aaliyah was a vibe 🖤
@@TishAli Exactly they probably don't know any of her songs outside of her big singles. The things she did live with her head voice and lower register made it pretty obvious she sang softly on her albums for stylistic purposes. But Aaliyah could hang with her peers vocally.
@@bajeboi Exactly
@@TishAli yes those are just evil haters
Ariana Grande, yes, she is very successful right now.
She'll keep on being successful🤙

Also Mariah is not a Soprano, hasn’t this lady herself stated numerous of times she’s an alto with an extended range, taught herself how to maneuver through high notes, && that she always wrote songs in higher keys.
Which is very similar to a lot of black women especially in gospel music.
@@themeaningofmariah alto is a voice type. Just depends on the area of background you are coming from
Darling she is definitely a Coloratura Soprano have you ever heard an alto? She said she consider herself as an alto because she was joking she know she is really not. Cher is the clear example of an alto and Mariah isn't even the low that Jojo or beyonce are, she just has a large range sometimes her speaking voice change because of the nodules. LOL
BEYONCÉ IS THE ULTIMATE QUEEN
Whitney tone and pitch are perfect. Highs and lows flow so effortlessly and clear as a bell. She is untouchable 🎼
Come on now...no one really is messing with prime Whitney voice.
You must of not heard her mama don't sleep on cissy
Mariah’s the 🐐 and the Golden Standard 🙌🏽
Britney and Xtina were never compared for vocals. They were compared for success and fame and Britney takes everything from head to toe. Xtina is successful too but the brand that Britney has become is unmatched
Sorry but comparing anyone to Beyoncé is an insult. She's been vocally training with technique and hustling since she was a little girl. She's just worked too hard be compared to anyone.
I love all Beyonce chart topping songs. I just started going in and listing to her full albums... great vocalist.. But ummm I found her albums to be boring.
Comparing beyonce to the older generation is not an insult but comparing her to the newer generation is Loki and insult
@@Monroestevens306 'love all Beyonce chart topping songs.' , it, all Beyoncé doesn't want is this, be top chart!
OMG! The ease of Katy in head voice! And the power! I’m very sure that’s 100% pure head voice
Whitney & Mariah- ‘nuff said.
People should listen Christina’s albums ASAP because downplaying her is a huge mistake. In no shape or form would Britney be able to keep up with her, that her management company stopped her artistry or not as nothing to do with her vocal ability. They are totally opposite besides the blond hair and their MMC years. It’s like comparing Beyoncé and Normani TF.
If y’all want to compare Mariah to Ariana. Compare her to the 90s Mariah. Blown off!
Omg Riri can’t be compared to Bey talking about talent.
I think they only get compared because when Rhianna first started out, she was a part of that Destiny’s Child tribute performance
@@amariahlovelace5113 or the fact that she is sign to jay z record label they always comparing them which makes no sense because they are completely different artist like there's no comparison
Not really though. Beyoncé too wasn’t good of a singer as a child. She worked hard on her voice. If Rihanna had the same motivation to work on her voice she’d be there too. Talent is something you’re born with and not something you have to work for to get. So in a sense they’re similar it’s just that Beyoncé pushed herself more and Rihanna was fine with herself.
@@fldas17 Beyoncé was always good with her voice
@@Lolo-zf2wm then i guess you haven’t watched videos of her as a child and a young teen. It’s not a hateful comment but a fact that she wasn’t a good singer when she was younger.
Not everyone will be mariah carey or whitney houston with a strong powerful voice. If that was what it only took to get and make it in the industry a lot more vocally talented people would be signed and famous. It's what sells and what the people love. Pink, kelly clarkson, Jessi j are very talented vocalist yet Rihanna who doesn't have a strong voice like them is way more successful, because of her songs. The songs, image and performances make the artist. So comparing these women are bull just appreciate their music, creativity, style that they bring to the industry.
I always thought Britney couldn’t sing & that the media and the lgbt community hyped her up way more than she was worth. She sang beautifully when she was a kid and I think the music world ruined her and made her something like Kesha and said her singing like that would “sell” which I mean... I guess they’re right it does but I’m sure she wants to sing to her fullest capability. 😕 I hope she goes the independent route like most singers do after a label ruins them
riri vs yonce ... cmon ... the video says everything ! beyonce agility voice is everything and never fail or crack
I’m not tryna pin these women against each other but Mariahs the best. I wouldn’t say she’s better then all of them. But her voice is truly one of a kind and there ain’t another like hers!
One thing I notice with these modern singers is that they all sound so similar. I don't know if it's their pronounciation or what but there's something unoriginal about them, even if they have great range/technique. The only people I think stand out from this, that I can think of, are Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey Florence Welch, Amy Lee, Aurora- they have quite unique sounding voices, even if some of them aren't brilliant vocalists.
Honestly I’m kinda tired of the “xtina doesn’t have a good technique” narrative.
She has technical issues with her belts, but for the rest is obvious that she knows how to sing with a good technique.
At times her stylistic choices might be vocally unhealthy but I think it’s clear that she mastered them.
Her voice barely deteriorated, especially if compared to how people thought it was going to deteriorate.
She’s extremely agile and capable of singing musically pleasant runs and riffs precisely.
Her versatility is great.
Her lower register is getting richer and deeper, her tone is gold, her musicality is on point, her pitch is good, her falsetto is probably the best in the music business.
She’s too good of a singer to be labelled as “non-technical” because of a few issues in her upper register.
She obviously knows how to sing with a proper technique. You can see it in many performances, I just think she prefers her own personal style to a more technical and vocally safe one.
Thats what i litterally said in the video. I praised her lows, agility, musicianship and falsetto register. When i say she IS not a technical singer it's because she said herself that she was way more focused on the "intuitive" (cant remember thé exact word) singing than on the technique.
I feel like ppl really came to this video with the Idea "oh she's gonna Bash my fav singer" when that was not the purpose at all. Then they focus on "Bad" habits i pointed
@@Litalici0us my comment was a response to your video but only in part.
It’s more of a general observation.
I actually get what you meant, although I wouldn’t have used the “not technical” description. I’m just tired of the tendency in this community to describe Christina as someone who basically doesn’t know how to sing and that just got lucky with her beautiful tone.
The “she has a bad technique” narrative got too far in my opinion, even though she has a few technical issues.
@@Litalici0us I actually agree with a lot of your points about Christina (with the exception of her being a light lyric soprano but classifying non-classical singers is always controversial lol). I'm also REALLY impressed with how respectful you were to all the featured singers 👏🏾
@@shivermetimbers6128 yes i made a mistake about that i get confused by Reading some articles about her vocal type 😬
she sounds messy. she sounds like screaming the whole time. just because she changes notes quickly doesnt mean she has great technique
Ariana’s resonance in that tattooed hear video at swt was amazing. I love it
Glad you put Britney's original voice in and gave it the praise it deserves, a lot of people assume she doesn't have talent , when in fact she's a great dancer with a pretty good voice it's just that a good voice isn't marketable if it isn't unique hence the baby voice
Yay, a 25mins video ☺️

Normani has so much potential to be a really beautiful vocalist. Her low notes are heavenly to the ears and sound like butter and she is capable of doing different runs and riffs through the different registers to her voice. The three issues she really needs to work on is belting, projection and consistency.
U forgot a bigger one: Lady Gaga vs Beyoncé.
can’t even compare the two. almost different genres and completely different styles
They don't to be compared they are both iconic queens who will be relevant forever like madonna and Whitney are
2:38 makes me so angry! The music industry took a talented singer and squeezed all the passion out of her. Britney herself isn't blameless. She could have put her foot down and risked losing the fame but she chose to keep her family, fans and label happy at the expense of her artistry. In my culture we have a saying "if everyone loves you, please accept my condolences". There's just no way to please everyone and still keep any kind of integrity. It's so sad

Vocalists like Whitney and Jennifer are so rare.
True, Jhud deserves more recognition like Whitney had
💯 agreed
They are gifts from God
Ummmmm KAREN CLARK SHEARD
You are far kinder than me. My analysis would go like this:
Lady Gaga: can sing
Katy Perry: the struggle is real
From what I've seen online, Britney lost that voice when she started to get famous. Her managers/record label made her sing in a more "marketable" voice/register. After a few years, it took a toll on her voice and made it weaker. She used to be able to sing much healthier beforehand, now she sings on her records differently. Her latest record, Glory, showcases her real, deeper voice, though.
@The Marvelets Elitestan exactly !! I never understood tht... Like they also said she would sound too much Xtina but even if Britney did sing like tht, they never sounded alike cuz Xtina has a different sound and style..
The Normani and Beyonce comparison had me dying Lmaoooooo
Actually Christina and Britney sound almost the same, especially in the lower register. Listen to Britney's unreleased stuff, where she uses her natural tone and not the baby voice and y'all will see the similarity.
Not really at all, her natural voice sounds very theatre inspired while Christina is very Soul and Rnb inspired
@@onedollarbleach6891 i think the person meant tonally
@@onedollarbleach6891 Britney unreleased music sounds more R&B her training when she was younger tho was in theatre
@@no-ln3nm Even tonally I don't see it
I also disagree. Definitely different tones and voices.
Well, you're wrong about Ariana. She's not Mariah, but that doesn't mean she's not an icon, in her own right, at this point in her career. She also uses her voice as an instrument and has a unique singing style and voice. A lot of the points you have about her are just very dated. Her lows have also improved a lot, and her overall voice. The constant discrediting of her is just ridiculous at this point.
EXACTLY
Preach!!! I am sooo tired of people discrediting Ariana. I said when her first album Yours Truly came out that Ari would be an icon, and look where she is now in her career. She is breaking new records every day! (First female artist to have 3 albums go #1 in just 2 years!) Ariana is a queen!
How are they "discrediting" when it's true? Ariana hasn't mastered her lows or whistle register and has already been in the industry for 5+ plus years whereas Mariah was already a vocal beast since her debut (even with nodules). Again these critiques are when comparing her to Mariah, Ari is an amazing singer, but she doesn't possess a fraction of MC's vocal agility or creativity which is what made her unique. Ariana is an icon but she's not a legend. Only time will tell that. It's not discrediting when it's the truth.
she meant in a vocal way.
what has ariana made signature? has she created any technique?
of course she has an amazing voice and records but...mariah has the whistle , what does ari have?
wasn’t this whole video about not comparing but you guys are comparing 2 very different singers anyway? they don’t even sing similar songs or have the same target audience
This was a pretty good video! Great points
NOBODY COMPARES RIHANNA'S VOCALS TO BEYONCE'S... EVER... RIHANNA CANNOT SING ANYWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS BEYONCE... BE HONEST
You are the reason of this video stop saying someone is better than other
@@lindafuentes4148 Exactly 😭😭
No one compares katys shakey vocals to gagas either this video is wack
