    Regardless of her career faults and many mishaps, Mariah Carey has really become our generations Queen of Christmas. Not only did she release one of the only modern day Christmas standards, she also wrote it, and after 25 years, it finally went to #1, a testament of her lasting legacy.

      Yes. Pre-breast augmentation Mariah. As a nurse, I always wonder if these kinds of surgeries and the scar tissue that follows affects the breath work of singing. I imagine it’s like a baseball pitcher having a shoulder surgery. A singer’s breath work is like the shoulder of a baseball pitcher and the voice is like the pitcher’s wrist and hand. In baseball, you need to have incredible hand/wrist dexterity and control, but without a healthy shoulder, the wrist can’t make up for it.

    Can you react to Mariah's tone changes every year??? Every year her tone slightly changes since 1990. People say her voice "deteriorated" in 1997 but in 2003 it was the closest to Daydream era (1995/6) its ever been! And then in 2014 the year she had her vocal fail, at Beacon Theatre 2014 a week later she sounded her best AGAIN and was singing Emotions like her prime. Her voice is really complex. Her tour performances capture her vocal the best and in 2018 and 2019 she still showed 5 octaves on tour

    Sam you should do a whole Mariah series of her best performances of the 90's. It's what the songbird supreme deserves 😍 and I'd love to hear your opinion of how Mariah's vocal texture changed so much from 1996 to 1998. She developed a lot more rasp and her singing started to appear a lot less effortless. For example, Butterfly live. Still amazing, but in comparison to her silky, effortless, powerful vocals on the Daydream tour it's super different. And it's like, did Tommy do something to her or did the stress of the Daydream tour change her voice? It was only 7 shows, but she was doing acrobatics with her voice every time. Idk. :( Regardless, my fav vocalist of all time. Forever. Stream Caution, ya'll. 😋💖

    • @GiuseppePascuale928

      I always wondered if it was the vocally demanding Daydream promotion and tour followed by recording Butterfly combined with the divorce (perhaps there was arguing/screaming behind closed doors, and/or possible drinking/smoking to relieve stress?) and subsequent lack of rest and/or vocal care (exercise, etc.) that may have led to her vocal decline?

    You should react to her performance of “Anytime you need a friend”in Tokyo dome! She’s wearing a black dress in the video. She is so perfect

    React to Lila Downs, she's Mexican American singer, is a contralto but with whistle register, amazing. Llorona en Vivo or One Blood.

    I work at a major retail chain and most of my coworkers hate this song due to constant play from Halloween to a week before Christmas. Many memes, showing their disgust, but I LOVE HER AND THIS ENTIRE ALBUM! Its my goto Christmas album, i have loved her since i was 16, bought her tapes (cassette tapes kiddies) blasted in my dad's audi, and am still a huge fan at 44. ❤ just sharing what I'm feeling.. 😁

    Her intonation when singing this song and that high note you like, always remind me of young Michael Jackson's sound. Mowtown era.

And this Christmas it has really influenced my singing, thinking about my vowels & such. My daughter and I made ourselves giggly trying to sound Irish while singing all the traditional carols!

    I love this version from Mariah Carey because it's just awesome. She's a unique singer in that she has control of so many different ranges in her voice, not that others don't but imo she is one of the best if not the best when it comes to just control and holding notes for what seems like forever lol.

  • @rickinaranjo9982

    It’s not fair for one person to have all of that vocal ability. What a legend. Even if her voice isn’t the same as it was back then, she still has an amazing legacy.

    It will be amazing if you analize her singing Oh Santa at Late Late Show 2019! So you can hear the evolution and the "damage" in her voice when she's more confident in the performance

    As someone who sang for a large portion of their life, it's amazing to hear the more technical and analytical language you use to explain similar techniques I was taught in my years in choir. It reinforces the good habits I formed in school and helps me correct my own singing today after not keeping up with it as much (other than being a Professional Shower Singer). And I'm learning new things along with it, too, and I've been reevaluating and wanting to make those changes to my own singing to improve. I adore watching your videos and learning how singers can sing so well (or sometimes not so well) and I'm excited to see which song you analyze next.

    Thanks for the great video again Sam! I became Mariah Carey fan when I was about 10 in 1993 and I've loved her music since, especially the old ones. Thus, this video was a nice surprise for me! Even my mom listens to this song every Christmas because she learned to love the song lol Happy new year Sam!

    i love her performance of "oh holy night". that's my yearly christmas mariah jam. though it's a bittersweet experience now given the current state of her voice. i just miss those chilling mariah performances. her musicality mixed with her former vocal ability was other worldly.
    merry christmas, mr. johnson.
